I've tested. Green Arrows can be a Bait. When Compared to 40 hours recruiting (the 3 lesser Influences); Send the house reveals interests Faster (by 1-2 weeks) and gains Influence Faster. Send the house, until you know interests. Then Hard Sell w/ 3 Interests and Soft Sell w/ 2 highest grade (if you can invest 60 hours).

[@spyrebel7612]

Yea, the number of hours and pipeline score determine the progress of the recruiting. You are capped by the Friends and Family, those arrows do not sum. If you want a recruit, send hours. If you know the interests, hard sell them and add more hours on top.

[@danieldbeavers]

MVP comment right here. This year's class will be very good, but next year's will be elite.

[@matthewblevens1229]

Have you experienced any penalty for soft selling a pitch that has 1 incorrect interest?

[@redbulloo7]

It's because the arrows say MAXIMUM not minimum. So if you send the house the max is 5 influence but I think the floor each week is 4 while if you have 3 and 2 max arrows the floor could be 3 or 2.

[@th3exceptionexception452]

Only the 2nd youtuber I've seen that has mentioned that you don't need all checkmarks revealed to know what a recruits interests are. Glad to see it! You actually only need one checkmark if you are lucky enough with the player's deal-breaker since the deal-breaker will always be an interest. Also, finally I understand what sway is for lol.

Based on my observations those arrows aren't entirely representative of how much of an effect it has on prospect interest. Doubling up on lower tier recruiting actions might reveal recruiting interests faster, this is not something I considered until watching this video, but send the house is far and above any combination of the other recruiting actions for garnering interest and getting to #1 or extending your lead. It's not even close.

Here’s a a really good tip!!!! ONLY take DEEP THREAT WRs they have the highest speeds! Need to do a video on that too as well! The type of player

[@neilharris9679]

Like many comments had the same question about the green arrows and if they stack. Maybe someone (with more time available than me) can save at the start of a dynasty with a mid tier school & recruit 5 - 10 prospects with send the house each week. Play it on easy and win by a lot each week & see when / if they commit. Restart the save & repeat the process trying to maximise the triangles each week, rather than using send the house. Keep persuasion & school visits at the same point for both saves & if the results suggests that the triangles stack, Increase the sample size and rigour of the test. Do this until you feel as confident as you can’t that they stack, or that they don’t or it can’t be fully proven either way. Just a thought.

[@CollegeFootballDataScientist]

@@neilharris9679 I will have to test this out with some saving, restarting etc. I’m very curious as well. I’ll share in a future video what I find out

[@broadviewgaming1497]

I tested a quick version of this. I left the prospects on "Send the House" until they made a decision. I had all interest revealed by week 4-5 and a couple commits in weeks 7-9. With 40 Hours (3 lesser Influence), Full Reveal by 5-6 and first commit wasn't until week 11. I also lost out on more recruits than I had with StH.

[@neilharris9679]

@@broadviewgaming1497 thank you, yeah seems number of hours are the key to recruiting, rather than the number influence triangles. Also learnt yesterday sway, when done correctly can actually add a 4th and occasionally 5th green tick on the recruits pitch list. So you can potentially in the same week run a hard sell and soft cell on the same player, it was early days but the streamer testing seemed to like the results on his recruiting.

[@hbkplayz]

@@neilharris9679oh is that how sway works?? I was unsure of what it was and was always afraid to use it. So you can choose a pitch with 3 xs but high grades and you get a chance to add additional checks?

Not had a chance to test it myself but lots of people in his chat were using it so they could hard sell and soft sell in the same week.

[@rysenjohn653]

The thing I noticed while doing recruiting each season is that yes the pipelines are just as important because of the ‘green ticks’ you get for the hours spent on either 50 hours or 25 hours you wanna spend on a player. So you could spend cheaper on the hours depending on the recruiting battle. I’d only truly go full out on players that are a true 5 star (seem rare to get), and 4 star gem players once you scout them in preseason. Good info, it’ll take some practice on the sims to figure out the efficient way of scouting the guys you want for almost every rebuild.

[@adamseidel9780]

A real data analysis would be seeing where the recruits are distributed and determining if there are imbalances in pipeline competition. We know Texas, Ohio, and Florida have the most recruits, but the top tier competition there is huge. It would be interesting to see if there is an imbalance somewhere or if they balanced it based off pipelines.

[@cory8080]

The method works perfectly, imo. It also becomes really nice when pitches open and you have more max hours weekly. I’ve had guys where a soft pitch was 4 and hard was 5 but being able to keep all the influences while adding the soft pitch, allowed me to make up room or close on a recruit.

[@mrtz46]

Your point about the amount of recruiting hours vs the number of “green upward arrows” is the EXACT same question I’ve been trying to find an answer for. Is it more beneficial to add actions that give more “green upward arrows” even if that takes fewer recruiting hours overall? For example if I spend 35 hours (25 hours on friends and family and 10 hours DMing the player) and that adds to 5 green arrows total, is that better than sending the house which costs 50 hours, but has only 4 green upward arrows? That world save 15 extra hours if the two actions combined have more green upward arrows. Or maybe even the arrows are tied. Combining friends and family (again 35 hours) gives 5 total green arrows, and sending the house (50 hours) also gives 5 total green arrows. Is it better to just spend the 35 hours since the total number of green arrows are equal? Or I guess this would maybe be testable? Try it with 35 hours and 5 upward arrows and see how far the recruiting bar goes up. Then exit the save file and retry it using 50 recruiting hours and compare the amount of growth in the respective recruiting bars? Would love a follow-up video if you figure this out!

[@dalearney1315]

I had assumed that those arrows are non-linear, so five in one action is more impactful than five across multiple actions, but I haven't done the experiment you describe to confirm.

[@austinbradshaw3636]

I’m curious to see on your dynasty play through the analysis on onside kicking every time and if it is worth it. I haven’t had time to get the game myself, but I assume they nerf onside kicking to be essentially useless like in Madden. It would be a nice feature if there was a perk to increase your chance of onside kick recovery to allude to the high school coach who never punted and did onside kicks every time.

[@View619]

Unique perspective, we could use more videos like this. Also, could you share a link to your breakdown document?

[@wyattlauth1453]

If you can sway a recruit it will add a second ideal pitch for your school only for that recruit. Once they have two ideal pitches you can hard sell and soft sell an ideal pitch if you have upgraded recruiting to allow you to spend 60 hours on that position

[@wyattlauth1453]

If their ideal pitch contains something where your school has a relatively low score and you’re in a recruiting battle with a school that has a higher score in those areas your only hope may be to sway to add a different ideal pitch for that player

IMO the best overall school in terms of recruiting point economy is Penn State. Sure, they aren't in the best pipeline, but they do have level 4/5 pipeline in very underserved states such as Maryland/VA/DC/NJ/NY. No other school comes close - and this isn't a changeable attribute. The only real "close to home" comp in these states are Clemson and OSU/ND, and these schools are far away enough that you have an advantage because they grade out around B/B-. You can ultimately disproportionately dominate recruiting in a huge chunk of this market, and given you can only add 35 players to your board anyway, that mitigates some of the advantage bigger pipelines have due to their volume. Again, in bigger pipes there is much more competition overall. TL;DR I think if you're focused on recruiting point economy, there is no better school than PSU.

[@BobSmith-ql7fb]

They landed the #1 class and bullied me in recruiting in Year 1 of my UMass dynasty, so you may be onto something. And anecdotally I agree about MD/VA/NJ, I was able to get my first class at UMass up to #34 by focusing on unnoticed players in those 3 states, Connecticut, and then finally going all-in on Florida prospects with no offers late in the season.

[@austinbaker1435]

One thing i noticed is that for the hard/soft sell even though there's only one ideal pitch, that won't guarantee max influence based on your grade at each individual pitch. I'm curious: If you use a hard sell where on 2/3 pitches your school has a high grade and are green arrows, could that potentially give a higher amount of influence than a case where all three pitches are green arrows, but one or two of them you don't have a good grade in? It begs a question on how much does pitching something the recruit isn't interested in actually hurt you? I do think that you are expected to either use a combination of optimal and sub-optimal hard and soft sells since you can make multiples of each to each recruit. Or, if the penalty for making a non-ideal pitch is too high, you would have to use sway and hope that you can make a second ideal pitch in that sense. If I've missed something by all means let me know, but I'd be interested to hear what you have to say on it. Otherwise love content, I'll definitely be coming back for more analysis!

[@CollegeFootballDataScientist]

Great question! Keep them coming! I need to figure out a way to efficiently measure recruiting impact. It definitely has a lot go into it because sometimes I can do the same action on two players and the influence bar change next week can be twice as big for one player as another with the same action.

I keep seeing "Play Style" as a deal breaker with 4 and 5 star recruits. Actually I think it's bugged because I had an A- for play style with a 5 star recruit, and the very next week I got locked out because it dropped down to an F. In one week. I don't know how my playstyle can be effected so drastically in one, week and I didn't make any changes to playbook, scheme etc... I don't know for sure if it's bugged, but it certainly feels that way. It also happened with a 4 star recruit during the exact same week. And it happened the season before with a 4 star recruit. One week I'm an A- (or whatever) and the next I'm an F.

[@schuyler101]

Your play style grade is based on your yearly ranking in certain statistical categories. Your grade also varies depending on position and type of player. For instance; a pass rushing defensive end will have a play style grade based on your national rank in total sacks. The grade can change week to week, and they can change a lot in the early weeks, especially if that's where your byes are. To find your ranking go to my school under the recruiting tab. I believe the play style grade is the upper left. Once you're there you'll need to use the right trigger and scroll down to the type of player you're looking at. There it will show you your grade, what statistic they use for it, and on the right they'll have your national ranking What may have happened is you started out with a certain grade based on last season and then had a poor performance in an early week game or a few byes and just didn't put up any stats. I actually got locked out of a pass rushing defensive tackle because of my grade and made sure the next week to blitz like crazy, put up a bunch of sacks and got unlocked immediately
