The details of recruitment in College Football 25

In the popular game, players will get to see which position in your team needs to be filled most urgently. After viewing their team's needs, players first navigate to the "recruiting" and "prospects" lists and add prospects to their recruitment board for consideration.

Another aspect to consider is reviewing which pipeline the prospects hail from and their level of interest in your program, which will have a huge say in whether they will consider your program when the time comes.

From a pool of up to 3,500 prospects, College Football 25 gamers can add up to 35 players to their recruitment board, which translates to 35 available scholarships per season.

Interacting with the prospects will enable gamers to understand their unique needs, which will help in recruitment. Some of these include academics, the NIL element or the winning pedigree of the team, which will be indicated by either a green or a red checkbox to indicate interest, with the latter showing low levels.

Prospects from different areas of the country have different motivations and potential, and players will need to drill down to get talent from smaller schools.

One can find out more about prospects by utilizing their social media accounts and contacting them in their messages or by reaching out to family and friends, but these aspects will cost a lot of accumulated hours.

Even as various post-launch bugs are fixed, fans of the EA Sports College Football 25 will undoubtedly have to come to grips with the new way of recruiting factoring in the transfer portal and issues like NIL.
