Dynasty mode plays a big role in College Football 25, and many players have a very positive attitude towards this mode. In the game, there is another very important mechanism, which is the pipeline.
Pipelines serve as one of the multiple mysterious boxes in EA Sports College Football 25 and the recruiting part of dynasty mode. Every school, coach and player have a pipeline. Each pipeline represents a geographic region in the United States. This article will focus on the importance of pipelines and how they work in the game.
The Importance Of Pipelines For Recruiting
There are 50 pipelines in total in the game, and each of them owns disparate strength. Some pipelines are designed to have better performance than others, and that demonstrates the fact that those better players are usually coming from better pipelines.
Pipelines are divided into levels, with a total of five levels, each marked with different colors. One refers to the lowest score you can have for a pipeline, and five represents the highest score. These are color coded in the game.
- Tier 5: Pink (the best)
- Tier 4: Blue
- Tier 3: Gold
- Tier 2: Silver
- Tier1: Bronze
Penn State, UNC, Clemson, and Alabama all choose pink for this prospect (Kyler Maze) from Maryland, which would be categorized to Tidewater pipeline. This means any recruiting actions those four schools apply to Maze will exert more influence than Ohio State or NC State, which chooses blue and sliver for this player separatively.
