*POST PATCH* Avoid These Recruiting Mistakes in College Football 25

HOLY COW Jaden I appreciate the shoutout! Never thought I’d see my own graph showing up on someone else’s video!! & you killed the explanation too, thank you!

[@CallMeJaden]

I’m just seeing your comment, I appreciate you doing the hard work!! I enjoy your channel as well!

It’s Miami for me

[@kyronescotland9986]

Mine is Clemson 🤣

[@HurricaneStorm21]

Update, I also hate Notre dame too. I schedule them and georiga every year and they still get the recruits smh

[@duhh4641]

😂😂😂

[@bucket936]

Didn't realize this, but it's true. If you have a visit with 2 of the same positions. It could hurt their influence. I also had two gem RB's on the same visit day. My True Freshman RB had 214 yards rushing. I lost both RB's the same week to other schools. LOL It's like they saw him and was like.. "Im out"

[@LonghornsLegend]

But it also depends because I've had two situations where I scheduled duplicate positions same visit because I had no choice. Week 4 will be open, cpu has week 5, snd by week 6 he'll be off the board. So I used week 4 on two CBs I believe and as long as you got a high score from the visit and some sort of blowout multiplier to help it really won't be a negative and it's better than no visit before he decides.

[@nicholassmith9640]

I seen that other video you was talking about in regards to the point system and being over 19, I feel listening to you explain it again helped me understand more.

[@CallMeJaden]

Glad to help !

[@calvisblevinsjr2700]

Brand exposure is your televised games. Nationally televised games, regionally televised games doesn't give you as much nationally televised games gives you a big bump and then making it to championship games or bowl games increases the brand disclosure, the most. So the main reason why it's going up-and-down is because you may be losing a lot of nationally televised games, and in winning regionally televised games. And then those things are indicated when you go to your schedule, and you see the little antenna mark that tells you whether or not it's regional or national game. Our non televised game altogether

[@denverdinosaur6168]

Problem with the bust players is they are almost always a “normal” development trait and progress horribly. The star and elite dev traits are key especially starting them as freshman and doing well with them on the field. The normal dev traits also have the most boxes blocked off and can’t develop much overall. Small school sure the 4/5 star bust are excellent but a 3 star and up program gimme the 3 star gem with a star or elite development trait.

[@skullcruncher7218]

In my experience caps are just as important as the development trait. Like there been some times I have had normal or impact player ended up being better than a star or elite simply because of the difference in caps. Of course if you are someone who invest in the limitless ability with your coach caps become less of an issue.

[@LonghornsLegend]

It hasn't been anywhere near that consistent for me. If you have s cosch who gives off season boost, some of my five star bust are starters even as a normal but a bunch have been impact. One normal dev safety was a five star bust never played but by year 4 he was a 88 overall and the elite dev safety who wasba five star and had a ton of stats is an 86 in that same span(same class). Ans the elite safety had far more open caps on ratings. He isn't the only one either. Multiple normap dev players I've had finish high eighties overall. Mine has been mucu more organic than just saying this dev will make him great this one will make him suck.

[@Scott.A.Hettenbach]

Very informative video. As someone wanting to do Dynasty I’ve found your content very helpful for my research.

[@CallMeJaden]

Appreciate that, good luck with ya dynasty

[@ZWilson2000]

The not being able to change freshman positions like ruined my dynasty.

[@CallMeJaden]

Facts, I can’t wait for the next patch

[@TakinTwo4her]

I'm starting my ninth season and just realized this in the off-season. They need to add an ATH to the depth chart, also

[@roncatto5378]

You can, it’s just pain. In week 0 of the next season, you can edit each individual position manually. Just takes a while

[@ZWilson2000]

I'm ready to abandon my game after the second season. And I won't play again till it'd fixed. If it's gonna weeks, I honestly want a refund. This is terrible. It's not fun to recruit now, because it's busted.

[@ZWilson2000]

It does not work the same, and you don't know what you have. There's also some guys you cant change. Broken. Ruined.

[@thetruth3498]

Dealbreakers are no joke. I just lost a 5 star gem 6’5 receiver with 96 speed. Was in a recruitment battle with Arizona State and had just gotten him to commit after a visit but for some reason the playing time grade went from B- to C+ in that one week and he decommitted. By far the best prospect i’ve seen so far

[@MadJeff504]

Did you recruit another receiver? Recruiting another player in the same year makes playing time go down for all players for that position

[@thetruth3498]

@@MadJeff504 yeah i had one receiver commit the week before, i figured that’s what caused it but i didn’t wanna jump ship on that guy

[@CallMeJaden]

I try to avoid the playing style dealbreaker at all costs

[@CoreyForst]

I started a new dynasty with NC State and UNC just had to come in and steal a few recruiting from me during the last week. So, now I need to beat them by 90 in the next season.

[@DatBoiSammyP]

Also, if you want to save some points then you can look at the playing time grade before sending out offers and the higher the grade the better the players starting overall.

[@natestearns9415]

Only thing I don’t agree with is not over recruiting, I want guys to commit as fast as possible so it frees up those points for someone else. Awesome vid man.

[@CallMeJaden]

Appreciate it, and I get that!

[@DatBoiSammyP]

On Brand Exposure, I think it's a combination between sustained winning and conference/team prestige.

[@danieldbeavers]

Great info on the Hard Sell math. Will be useful when I eventually start playing cupcake rebuilds.

[@CallMeJaden]

Appreciate it!

[@robertmajors1737]

I don't know if I agree about tge olb's. IMO, they're some of the most OP players in the game. If you get rusher types with decent speed that can cover if they have to, a lot of times they'll be your best rush right and left ends, or at least sub out with your de's. And if you run 3-3-5, like a lot of schools do, sending those rush types on the blitz is crazy.

[@rkymtnchi503]

Brand exposure is based on televised games, which means staying ranked consistently

[@mavfan21]

I am addicted to recruiting QBs and HBs and I need to stop!!! I ave had to work on it and limit myself to 1 QB and no more then 2 HBs a season. Like you said, I'd get 3 and then couldn't even use 2 of them. I'd end up encouraging transfers.

[@King_riotv]

Dawg this is me with WR and DE although I end up moving my WR that's 4th and 5th on the depth chart to RB and they somehow end up being 95+ ovr it's a strategy I just lucked into lol

[@jordancasses231]

⁠@@King_riotvthe WRs are graded at a more competitive rate I found. I recruit mainly WRS then move them too. You can also move them to TE too especially if they’re Physical builds. The latest patch messed up the position change though

[@LonghornsLegend]

Scrambling QBs make the best RBs imo. Ive already had two who had 97 spd switch over and I just don't find RBs that explosive in relation to what the scrambling QBs are.

[@MadQuEsTiOnAskN]

Taking another man’s content and making a vid in the same day it was posted… is DIABOLICAL!!!!!!

[@CallMeJaden]

@@MadQuEsTiOnAskN nope, I gave that man full credit. Linked his video and everything

[@CertifiedClapaholic]

Anyone else getting the bug that wipes your whole recrutiing board and makes you have to re-add all your players and re-offer them scholarships/re-schedule visits that you had already offered/scheduled? This is literally a game breaking glitch and holding up 2 dynasties I am in...

The burst type is golden I found this out myself I had a 4star bust but all his stats but awareness was above 83 has 91 sped as a power back HB

[@TrueRMYDRACOARES]

Georgia is top 5 but not big 3. Texas, Florida, and Cali have produced top tier talent consistently for years now

[@BurtSaun]

That’s true IRL, but doesn’t seem to be in the game. I’m about 5 seasons in, and the talent coming out of GA is far and above the rest.

[@colereviewsyt]

Lately Georgia is easily top 3

[@ExplorinInTheWoods]

Top 3 rotates between Texas Florida and California, it just depends on the year. Georgia and Ohio follow after that.

[@TrueRMYDRACOARES]

@colereviewsyt Georgia is 4, again behind Texas, California, and Florida. They can't match the talent pool of those 3. I put them a close 4th behind Florida, though, just not as many big names and big recruits come out of Georgia as Florida. Don't get me wrong, though, they have established themselves as a state you want to recruit because even some of their 3 star recruits become studs. Just for me, they are 4th ranked prospect state.

[@colereviewsyt]

@@TrueRMYDRACOARES I understand that your opinion for your top 3 I'm saying my opinion Georgia is easily top 3.

[@jasonkersey89]

Really digging your vids, man.

[@CallMeJaden]

Appreciate you brother!

[@jmaj0315]

I think brand exposure is a rolling grade. So if your program was good in the recent past and you dont have regional broadcast games at least, the grade will drop

[@SharpeShootersPod]

Love the come dog. Keep grinding

[@CallMeJaden]

Appreciate it!

[@HP-hh8dk]

if this wasn't already explained, Brand Exposure is how many times your team appears on national television (game of the week, championship games, play-offs, etc).

[@J_B89]

Brand exposure is literally just televised vs not televised games. National give more points. local/regional give less but you can play bigger schools and raise it. you can lose a game on tv and it'll go up. I played CAL as Sandiego state in primetime lost and went from a c to a c+ If you get bowl games ,conference championship games , rivalry games the play off games.. itll all cause that to go up. you can even cheese it so to speak by setting all your out of conference games power 4 schools. because their brand exposure is generally higher and you will piggy back off of their exposure.

[@cplittl]

The 19 points is applicable for equal hours. So you’d have to hard sell (40 hours) + dm the player (10 hours) to beat send the house at 50 hours. 50 hours compared to 50 hours.

[@soopergood5012]

1000% incorrect

[@rodrickclaiborne]

Brand exposure is how many televised game u have.. p4 conference schools will always progress to A over time

[@jonquis07]

Even if you are at 19 still put it on hard sale. Its slightly more experience than send the house

[@Katie819172930]

I watched dudes video today myself. Very interesting and confirmed my methods correct. Played ncaa back in 98 so I’ve been at this for a while 😂

[@xfakter17]

I go after 2-3 qbs but make sure one or two are athletes that way I can change positions if need be

[@CallMeJaden]

Smart!

[@lewise9703]

Safeties make good CBs and LBs...no issue bringing in multiple

[@CallMeJaden]

I would argue hybrid safeties come with better coverage ratings then cbs

[@korionterivers9995]

Im def recruiting a few this year. I also like running that 3 high safety game

[@TrueRMYDRACOARES]

Same with HB and WR. Some WR also can switch into TE. It never hurts to recruit multiple, but as a small school I would definitely focus target recruits and keep one in the back pocket just in case

[@RIPJimmyA7X]

​@@TrueRMYDRACOARESI just changed my 4th or 5th best WR to TE and it made him a monster, completely changed my offense

[@TrueRMYDRACOARES]

@RIPJimmyA7X it happens with WR. They can make good TE or HB and on rare occasions DB.

[@C32onXbox]

Made me lol when you said it’s a super try hard strat 😂

[@dkong242003]

What do you do if you have 60 hrs on a recruit? I usually hard sell his perfect pitch and soft sell a pitch with 2 from his perfect pitch. Is that actually better than just using the 5 hrs elsewhere and searching social media DMing?

[@SWB_mike]

Man I wasted a visit on a bye week SMH now I gotta cut dude

[@itsyaboyced9456]

What’s a good point to back off a player? Idk if I’m scaring off players trying to get max influence too quick.

[@CallMeJaden]

I back off when other schools are gaining more influence than me, and it looks like I will lose the recruitment

[@emperorofdisko]

Anyone else, have a 4 and half star or 5 star program and then have zero recuirts start as their top school?

[@CallMeJaden]

Yea I dropped a whole vid on that last week, doesn’t make sense

[@Katie819172930]

Luck of the draw

[@daniyyel4830]

All normal means is they develop slower. Look at the skill caps for each player. That tells you who will have more skill.

[@TROPxBIG2x]

@@daniyyel4830facts I had a wr that was an impact player that hit an 80 ov after his redshirt Freshman year. So I started him the next year and he did well statistically and when the next season started he didn’t upgrade at all and became the 5th best receiver on my roster to the point his last 2 years he barley saw the field.

[@LonghornsLegend]

Happens all the time for me still which is why when a youtuber is dropping a video swearing to play elite players like that guarantees they'll be good are completely wrong.

They should automatically give you walk ons before the season starts if not then move some of your WR to HB

[@jacobjwilloughby4731]

Some of the stuff you’re saying isn’t true man. I’ve watched alot of KZbinrs talk about recruiting in CFB 25 and test it myself. You don’t have to get out on players as early as you’re recommending. If you’re in there top 5, you’ve got a chance with the hard sell + visit + maximum points on them. You definitely still had a chance to win Brian Sizer being #2 on his board if he was maxxed out with all the influence

[@christophergarcia1935]

This is true but I think it’s a safety precaution the faster u get ahead more likely you’ll get tht player I started recuirting a 5star in week 10 wasn’t even in his top 9 sent the house dm n social with scholarship now I’m 2nd but he took it into the playoff so can’t recuirt till offseason.
