What is a pipeline in College Football 25?

A pipeline is a region or area that coaches have a greater influence on while recruiting players. These areas can include states and certain regions within states.

There are 50 pipelines to choose from in the game, but not every state is represented, meaning some states have more than one pipeline. Choosing a top pipeline will offer you a higher chance of recruiting top players from that area, no matter which program you coach for.

How do pipelines work?

Pipelines are a recruiting mechanic specific to Dynasty Mode in College Football 25. Players select the program they want to control and create their coach, which will include the option to select a pipeline.

You will have a greater influence in recruiting players from the pipeline you select, meaning you may have a smaller chance of signing a top player from a different pipeline.

How to choose a pipeline

A good strategy for selecting a pipeline when beginning Dynasty Mode is to take into account your plans with your starting program. If you plan to stay committed to one program your entire career, it's often best to choose a pipeline in that same region.

But if you plan to take control of multiple teams, the best strategy is to choose a top pipeline. This will allow you to bring in the top recruits, no matter which region your school is located in.

Another thing to keep in mind is that many other factors go into recruiting. If you choose a top pipeline, there is no guarantee that you will get all the top recruits from that region. It only increases your influence in that area.

• Southern California
• South Florida
