I finally made it through RTG 11 game high school season and playoffs.

I really liked the changes to the recruiting aspect of it, and points system.
also, it looks like you can see what kind of offense/defense your potential school runs. Nothing was more infuriating as being a power back, and going to a school that was option based/spread etc. Or being a WR and going to a running team etc. So it was nice to have the style listed for each school (Pro, Multiple, Spread, Single Back, Air Raid) to help with your decision.

I also liked that you were notified when a school/s were interested in you and you could select which one YOU were interested. BYU was interested in me, but I had no interest in BYU etc. So it's nice to sort of only deal with the schools you're interested in instead of 70 teams to sift through.

Once at the school, practices actually have a purpose now. even if you're the starter. If your not, you need to go through the practices to get to the next level on the depth chart. But, even if you're the starter you can use practices to build trust with the Coach, and to earn points. You can spend the points each week on things that are either a weekly attribute boost, or a career attribute boost. Meaning, a weekly boost is only good for a week; career is good for your career etc. weekly boosts appear to be cheaper, and career boosts are much more expensive at times.

And gone are the days of going through each day of the calendar and selecting if you want to go to the gym, see the trainer, study your playbook or go to class. Completely pointless. The menu seems a bit more streamlined; there are minimal dialogue boxes that pop up asking "are you sure", after every GD decision you make. In fact, I think that reeruned-ass calendar is gone completely.

Still loving the game.
