NCAA Football 09

Use the Florida Gators and sim seasons you DO NOT need to win every game and the national championship, im sure its recomned but what i did was in pre season recuiting select "Search prospects" now go down to "Interest" and scroll over to "top school" now when you hit that every one who wants to be in your school will pop up, snag all the 5 and 4 stars now go back and hit top 3 and take all 5 stars and a few 4 stars now make it so you have 20- 25 prospects, cause now when you sim through the computer will pick up a few guys like 3 stars and they help, now i saved right here.

now sim through the season i lost 3 games won the SEC chapionship and the sugar bowl and going into off season as rank 9.

so i have proof that you dont need to be number one

now if every thing went well in regular season you should be nuber one on the board as of now or top 3.
If so save now, if your not satisfied load.

Now sim the off season and if your not number one then re-load just keep trying this method it clearly worked for me it should help you too.



Some more tips:

Create a prospect, its best to make them a 95-99 and make sure there from GAINSVILLE FL cause that is where the gators team is and this should help also.

I found the other methods time consuming. Here's what worked for me.

I used Florida Gartors #5 (any top 5 school should work though)
Went undefeated in the first season and won the national championship. At the end of the season you can check recruiting.

Go to "top classes" under recruiting. If you are in the top 3 classes continue. You don't have to save. If you are not in the top 3 classes make note of what teams are.

Go back to the season schedule and you should get a "coaching job offer" to another school. If one of those offers are for one of the top three recruiting classes accept the offer to coach at that school. If not you can quit and try again. (this is why you don't save after winning the national championship)

If you do get a job offer for one of the schools in the top 3 recruiting classes continue to sim the rest of recruiting (5 weeks) at the end check "top classes" again. If your school is #1 continue simming the rest of the off season and achievement should pop up.

If your school is not #1 recruiting class, quit dynasty and try again. Using the same method above. This technique only took me 2 tries.

I started as Florida and accepted a coaching offer to Ohio which had the #1 recruiting class.

Simplified version as I was having problems using others techniques.

-Selected Florida (Rank #5)
-Created 12 Prospects (QB, WR x 2, HB, TE, C, MLB, CB x 2, FS, SS, RE) Just changed surnames to "ProspectXX" for easy ID, Set all with 99s in proper categories with Gainsville, FL as hometown.
-Edited Schedule to A+ by swapping in Ranked teams. Try setting higher ranked teams earlier in the schedule (in hopes that they stay near the top when you have to play them).
-Selected all of my ProspectXX drones and filled the remainder of the 35 slots with 5-star players on the Recruiting Board.
-Sim to Regular Season.
-Sim past lesser teams.
-You can likely just sim past the ranked guys too but rather than repeat the loading process I just ran 1 Min Quarters, No Offsides, No Play-clock when faced with a ranked Team.
-Saved after each win to stay undefeated.
-Recruiting class hit #1 after week 6. (9 5-star, 3 4-Star)
-Continued to Sim/Play through to Conference and BCS wins.
-Ach Popped during off-season housekeeping sim. No need to start a second year. YAY!

I realize this is really an amalgam of many users solutions but I'd run 2 Dynasties using popular solutions with no success, so hopefully having another take will help those still struggling to get Lee Corso's voice out of their heads. ;)

Here’s a solution that worked for me.

Play or Sim a season with a team with Full Prestige, and finish with no more than 1 loss, and winning your Bowl game.
Target, only 5, 4, and 3 star recruits.
Make sure to keep them satisfied with Quick Calls, Call Prospect and Promises(after year 1).
Keep an eye on their Interest if you’re not in the top three after 1 week of “calls” move on to safer prospects.
You don’t have to target only within your pipeline I’ve actually found it harder than necessary if you try do that.
Creating the recruits is a waste of time, even if you create 15 most times you’ll wind up getting 5 of them. But not getting the top class since it’s an overall rating of the class not just 5 star guys.

With this “Method” I was the “Top Recruiting Class” by week 4, the achievement won’t pop until the whole recruiting season ends so just maintain the ranking, by adding other 3 and 4 star recruits and it will pop.
