You don’t get more by sending the 3 things, it’s purely based on hours atleast until you can sell the recruit. If you have a decent sell it will outperform send the house. If you’re trying to play realistically don’t target 4-5 stars. If you want to drastically improve your rank and team, find a few that are in pipeline and just send massive points to them right off the bat.
😂 right, my first year with the Troy Trojans, I pulled the #2 class with 700 HRS. I'm currently on season 2, week 10. I have three 5 star commits, one of which is a gem. It's looking like this week's visits should close out the deal on another 5 star, and three 4 stars, two of which are gems. I chose not to fire my coordinators in search of better skill trees, because I wanted the added coaching stability of them being there longer. Everyone wants to take the fastest route to a destination. Whether it's glitches or exploits, leeching your HC's point's and abilities off another' program, etc. In doing so, you're really just cheating yourself and missing out. If you learn some strategies and play your recruiting hours carefully, you don't have to find glitches lol.
I think getting the dev trait isn't all that great. Because you're basically already committed at pursuing the prospect by the time you find out their trait.
Yes. I had seasons where I went hard for gems but ended up having regular 4 to 5 stars outperforming bc they’ve had less of a battle to get where you want them.
I get what he's saying about sending the house vs the way he suggests. It is 50 vs 40 points/wk. You got 200 to spend? You can do 40 on 5 players or 50 on 4. IMO, given he has you starting from a superior position, already far in the lead, the 40 seems to be a better option. HOWEVER, late in the season, if you see a player you really want - perhaps a 4 or 5 star who has you on the top of their list - and it's going to be close... offer scholarship and send the house!
I see your logic in the way you are recruiting makes good sense The only thing i would do different and do different is if it is a player i really need i send the house i get far more commits with that then stacking the other 3 and i am running with ODU in the Sunbelt .Was a 1 star school now a 3.5 star school
People if you’re reading this comment, please listen. Do not listen to these people saying don’t go after top recruits. If you are a one star you can and probably will still be able to land them players. I do it all the time starting from one star and a five star player. It’s very possible. Do not listen to them and not got after them at all.
@@blakeluker1425 devs can say that but at the end of the day what they intended is not actually what is happening. If that was the case, there would be no reason to use any other option than send the house and they wouldn’t have included the arrows showing influence potential with each option. Unfortunately they didn’t make send the house strong enough to be necessary. I’ve used send the house many times before on same level pipelines and identical grades and almost every time I notice a smaller influence gain than if I use the 40 hour combination. I bet the devs intended for linemen to attempt to block defenders in front of them too, but clearly that doesn’t consistently happen.
@@reese5545 The green arrows of influence mean nothing itnthe hours that account for influence. You can believe what you want and be wrong that's fine. But stating something as facts that isn't true is just ignorant. There are to many people doing 20 year simulation rebuilds on YT that show that sending the house which cost 50hrs has more influence than sending 3 other options at 40.
I consistently have the best chances of landing recruits by Hard Selling as soon as it's available. As long as the three main interests are not F,D,D-. If you are equal to or greater than a C average with those 3 interests, sell it hard. Leading up to the ability to hard sell, I generally send friends and family unless the recruit isn't responding well enough and you're not gaining anything.
😂those bars are more like progress bars. The guy you said was only 20% and passed on, had already entered his top 8 which resets the bars again, but technically he was further along toward signing with you. Same as top 5 and top 3. Better to plow through the positions you want and offer scholarships until you get an insta commit then delete the rest, and move on to the next position of priority.
Yeah totally had most of that wrong lol. The guys with the lower bar were actually further along and in their top 5. They were closer to being done. The guys with the higher influence bar weren’t to their top 8 yet.
Great video. Lots of VERY USEFUL information. The only real variation I can see is to consider the, "luck," aspect. Late in the season, when you are now looking at the players who have not been offered scholarships and have altered your search from "top influence" to "top 3," I would recommend taking a shot in the dark at checking 4 and 5 stars too. Although it is extremely unlikely a 1-star school will net a 5 star this way - yet, it is still remotely possible - finding a 4-star is not beyond the realm of reality. In a video I watched recently, of a 1-star team, the late season, "what the heck!" check of 4 and 5 stars did produce fruit. A 4-star HB actually had his team as his top pick! Mind you, his team wasn't even on this guys radar at the start of the season. It's a 4 star! Who cares about his stats! Offer a scholarship end the house! The got him the next week. His 2nd 4 star was a OL and had him a VERY CLOSE 3rd. Again, he offered a scholarship and sent the house. Two weeks later he got him, as well. He tried the same with a 5 star. Although he came close, FSU swooped in and got him at the last minute. Also, if 3 stars are exhausted, 4 & 5 stars are a no go, a 2 star is not a bad option if you REALLY need a position filled.
I gotta say I feel like you're not actually giving the best advice here. You seem to really misunderstand how the progress bar works (they get reset when a player cuts down to top 8/5/3) so a player with a much lower bar is still much closer to signing if he has already cut down to his top 8 schools, and claiming that the lower hour options add up to more is just plain wrong you can find the math in literally dozens of videos out there easily, for the standard options, it's just about the hours, sending the house will give you 25% more influence than doing the other combined because it's 25% more hours, simple as that (for the Soft/Hard Sell it becomes more difficult since the amount of influence those give is dependent on your pitch qualities, there's a simple method on how to figure out whether Soft/Hard Sell is worth it based on grades as well, just look it up)
Im a huge believer in scouting. It works. However you are 1000% wasting hours by scouting IF and ONLY if you offer and sign your bust anyway. Whats the point of using thise hours scouting id you are going to sign the llayer whether hes a gem, bust or nothing. I only sign gems.
I agree with you. However, he is talking about a 1-star school. You have a team of mostly 1 star players this season. You're praying for luck and getting the best players you can. Next season, hopefully, 1/2 your team are 3-star (or better) players. Does it really matter if one or two of them are a 3-star bust? I find, in such a case, if you can get that team to a 2-star team, the 4 & 5 stars will come and you can take the time to get a little pickier on how you recruit. Consider coaching a football team. Your WR core drops more than they catch. If you were to rate your receivers, the best of them would get a D+. All of a sudden, you get a guy who can actually catch the ball... and hold on to it! You've a core of D+ or worse receivers, at this point, does it really make any difference this new recruit is only a C rated player?
Brother no knock to your method. But I find it not easy but doable to get 5 and 4 stars to commit if you use max hours and just be patient. Bc playing heisman you need the best. And visits makes it a lil easier. Yeah your board will be smaller but I rather have quality over quantity
This is true. Yet consider the circumstance he is giving. You are a 1-star school. Your average players are 1-star players. Yes, with patience and effort, you can land a 4 star or two. Maybe even a 5 star. In a recent rebuild video I saw, he managed to land 2 4-stars, 9 3-stars and 6 2-stars (
Thanks for the video but it always boils down to the most hours spent, and you had players with their 3 motivations showing for your hard sells without needing the rest. That’s literally wasting hours.
I’m a 2.5 star team builder team, 4th season. Don’t have a single player that has me as their top school. I also don’t have anyone that’s a pipeline rating higher than a silver 2. Is there a way to increase pipeline strength? Is it unusual that I don’t have anyone that has me as their top choice?
Per EA’s website certain power pipelines will not change as well as lesser pipeline states. It’s their way of creating “difficulty” and the grind. Also, the goal is for you to build up a lower school but then move on to bigger schools and better pipelines.
You could also transfer your school to a different conference. It obviously would not change your location or your basic pipeline, but it could effect prospect interest in your school. Consider, you are a 2.5 star team in the Sunbelt or a 2 star in the SEC. This could make a big difference. Personally, I wouldn't change conference unless you really desire to do so. Instead open it up to their top 3. If it is real close - as you saw in this video, the gap between 1 & 3 in miniscule - offer scholarship, drop the 40 points, see what happens next week. If you take over a decisive lead into 1st, keep going. If not, drop him and try someone else.
Was it me or were you locked out of Chukmura and then he committed to you? If that was the case, I will stop taking them off the board when it happens.
Yes players can decommit, always useful if you’re competing with a school over a guy that wants to come to a championship contender for instance. You beat that school in the game and it drops their grade to the point where the player won’t even consider them anymore.
Deal Breakers can change, sometimes from week to week. If you're just on the fringe of, say Championship Contender, and lose a game, that can bump you down a grade an the guy blocks you because of his deal breaker, but if you win a big game the week after, you might get back in the running.
The top schools only get 1000 so you’re not that far off really. Just seems like it’s not a lot once you’re trying to recruit a bunch of kids at once like I do 😂
Rice? I thought that was food. Lol. Anyway, EA is trash. There's so much they could fix to make this game amazing, but they make it rougher instead. A few specific positions rarely have higher starprospects even available now; was kinda like that before, just worse now. Pre-pre-season is set up weird; let us red shirt before encouraging to transfer!
This strategy is lame , if u offer scholarships to 5* players if u scout them probably with right amount of hours like swaying them or hard selling them , then a few of them would definitely commit! U just suk at it !
