The Dynasty Mode is undoubtedly one of the most exciting modes in College Football 25, and EA Sports has designed it with features that captivate players. However, players are bound to make some mistakes in this mode that could have a significant impact on their success. Here’s a look at common mistakes every player must avoid.
5 common mistakes to avoid in College Football 25 Dynasty mode
#1 Not selecting the best backstory
One of the first stages of building a coach in College Football 25 is selecting the backstory. This pretty much determines the profile of the coach and what area he specializes in.
There are three backstories in the game's Dynasty Mode: Motivator, Recruiter and Tactician. This will have a great impact throughout the run of the mode and choosing the right one can be very helpful. Based on players’ experience so far, a Recruiter appears to have the best backstory.
#2 Little attention to the team needs
This is a mistake many players are very likely to make in Dynasty Mode. While recruiting, many players might be enticed by the best prospects available and not pay attention to needs.
Taking a look at the team's needs each and every time is very important in building a successful program. The metric helps analyze the team's performance and suggests where the team needs to improve. This can be seen in the recruiting section of the mode.
#3 Not taking note of the green and red diamonds
The star rating of high school prospects is important while recruiting in College Football 25 Dynasty Mode. However, it would be a mistake not to take note of the red and green diamonds.
A prospect with a green diamond on his profile showcases more potential than his current star rating. On the other hand, a player with a red diamond is very likely to fall short of his perceived potential, despite his star rating. This must be taken note of in the mode.
#4 Improper management of dealbreakers
Every high school prospect in College Football 25 has deal-breakers that could potentially end their consideration for a school.
This must be managed properly by players to secure recruits and keep them committed. Even after starting their college career, it's important to uphold the dealbreakers to avoid seeing players enter the transfer portal. Not managing this the right way is a mistake to avoid in this mode.
#5 Not focusing on playing styles
Getting the highest-rated prospects to commit is obviously a great development in Dynasty Mode. However, these players might not perform as expected if the playing style doesn't fit.
While recruiting, it's crucial to go for prospects that fit the team’s playing style. This allows recruits to fit in seamlessly when they arrive for their freshman season. It's not enough to get the highest-rated prospects; ensure they are the right fit for the program.
