What is the Tidewater Pipeline in College Football 25? Maximizing your recruiting potential

Two weeks after its release, EA Sports College Football fans have explored various aspects of the game to maximize the advantages for their chosen teams. One of the most anticipated aspects of the game is the Dynasty Mod, where players get to choose which teams to coach and in what capacity (offensive/defensive coordinator or coach).

One of the most important aspects of the well-designed game is recruitment from both high school and via the transfer portal, which affect a player's chances of winning titles with their chosen team.

Within the recruitment aspect, the game has designated 50 pipelines that correspond to different regions in the country where players can recruit prospects needed by their teams.

One of these pipelines is the Tidewater Pipeline, which covers the North Atlantic Plain and encompasses areas like North Carolina, Delaware, Maryland and New York.

There are several pipelines in College Football 25, with some states broken down into different pipelines, including Florida (South, North and Central). The importance of pipelines is that different pipelines are renowned for producing different types of players, therefore guiding gamers on where to look for their specific team needs.

An example is Florida, which produces the most highly rated wide receivers and defensive backs due to the speed attributed to players from that region. After College Football 25 players identify the areas in their teams with the most needs, they can narrow down their search to specific pipelines.

Moreover, to make for a better recruitment strategy, EA Sports College Football 25 players will have better chances of picking players from a certain pipeline by choosing a program from that region, with prospects preferring to play closer to home in most cases.

At the start of Dynasty Mode in College Football 25, it's important which pipeline players choose their programs from, due to the overlapping effect in recruitment down the road. Some pipelines also have a wider reach than others.

Players therefore also need to look at their playbook and style of play and decide which pipelines they should focus on depending on the prospects who will strengthen areas of the team they will heavily rely on.

As CFB 25 gamers come to grips with various aspects of the game, they will start to understand just how important every detail at the start of Dynasty Mode is to their team's future success, starting with pipelines.
