However, the recruiting difficulty mechanic is slightly more subtle than that.
Similarly, small schools in big conferences will have better recruiting odds than small schools in small conferences.
Strangely, one of the most important inherent recruiting attributes a school has may be their location.
That is due to the way recruitment pipelines work inEA Sports College Football 25.
Your recruitment pipeline is basically the advantage you gain when recruiting players from specific regions of the country.
Technically, a great recruit can come from any area which means that all pipelines are viable.
This is also why the location of your school matters.
Thats why its important to ensure your coaches are tapped into a variety of pipelines across the biggest regions.
That said, investing points into Offensive Line and QB recruitment can be a viable strategy regardless of needs.
Scouting and Dealbreakers
Scouting is as important to the recruiting process as recruiting itself.
Nothing feels worse than investing all of your recruiting resources into a bust.
However, the most important thing to monitor when scouting players is their Dealbreaker.
At the same time, that aforementioned Proximity to Home Dealbreaker can be a big advantage for you.
That means that you have a finite number of hours each week to spend on your available recruitment tactics.
If you use all of them in the first week, you wont automatically get them back.
However, you should still spend every recruitment hour available to you every week.
Well, while those hours are not refunded, they are recycled week to week.
Who can blame you?
Well, there is one reliably sneaky way to take advantage of the recruitment process.
The basic idea is to prioritize your two and three-star recruits during the first week of the recruitment process.
For some reason, the list will likely be filled with such recruits.
From here, you will want to pursue your most aggressive recruiting strategies to target those high-value recruits.
It seems that the game works on a quantity logic at times rather than focusing on pure quality.
Basically, schools dont always pursue the top-tier recruits that would fit their needs.
Because of that, you might snatch them up before they get better offers.
