Another note, if you finish second on a guy who has a dealbreaker that changes, like play style, coach prestige, brand exposure, championship contender, keep them on your board until the early signing period. Move them to the bottom of the board and see if they decommit. I’ve landed a 5 star DE who decommitted from Auburn because they weren’t championship contenders, then they came to us because we were 2nd on their board
Another tip, after the first week or two go back to the prospect list and check out those 4 star prospects again bc there will be a good chunk that have not been offered scholarships and they don’t have any interest in you. Just add then and send offer a scholarship and after a week or two you’ll go to the top and have a head start on any teams who offer later in the year…as Georgia Southern I stole quite a few 4 star prospects bc no one offered them scholarships early and I got a huge jump on the bigger schools.
@@KushVanGoghfar right column of the prospect list will have an N or Y and then a number, the number is the number of offers they have, so look for 0. The N/Y just indicates whether your own school offered them or not.
@@KushVanGogh when it lists their top 5 schools there will be black check marks next to the school name if they’ve been offered any or no check marks if they haven’t been. If you look up the actual prospect like once he’s on your prospect board it shows up like a white piece of paper on the right of the school and their interest level.
One thing that works for me is I get my true 10 - 15 guys I want to go for. I’ll send the house for all of them and do as much as I can to get them to commit. But once week 8ish hits look at the board and there’s 4 stars ranked top 100 that have no offers. All I have to do is offer them and put a little hours into them and I get them.
@@kevinblackjr7633I think it depends on the team you are playing with. It’s easy to get 5 stars at Ohio State or Alabama. 5 star players want to play for elite schools. If you like building MAC schools like myself just accept you will not get them for a while. You can grab 3-4 4 star recruits in the MAC if you look for the guys that have no offers around mid season.
@@kevinblackjr7633I usually send them scholarships as soon I can. Then the next week you send the house and whatever other options you can do for the recruit. Then as soon as you have found out enough of the recruiter interest, hard sell them. If that’s still not enough I schedule a visit. I’ve been able to consistently get 1-3 5stars in my sims this way. Also helps if the recruits are in your pipeline or if your school has a good reputation obviously
@SkimaskSl33p-ng2we I'm using cal and USC keeps taking my players! I literally been in 1st the whole year, and then at the end, the prospect bumps me to second and goes with someone else lmao. I'm going to literally be excited when I get a top 5 recruiting class
I found scheduling visits is the game changer, that’s what usually brings them home especially if you have an A requirement matching their need and you beat a big time school. Also put your coach exp into recruiting and you can get more resources to pump into a position to you want more than others. Also remember to win and get your school star rating up because you get more hours a week being a high tier school.
The info about the hard and soft sells, as well as the perfect pitches is going to help a lot people. Can literally close out so many recruits with hard sell and visit in the same week. The sway can also help a lot for visits when you rebuild smaller programs who have few good grades compared to big schools
With a team like ohio state that starts with 1250 hrs in that initial week you can definitely fully scout 35+ prospects with more than enough hours left over to offer all 35 scholarships as well. If you take the existing coach option rather than creating your own because you will start with numerous recruiting abilities already unlocked. It makes more sense to completely fill your board anyway in that first week since you can only scout and offer scholarships. Week 2 is when you have to decide how to allocate your hours. So use all of your hours every week and fully scout as many players as possible in that first week.
definitely agree on using all your hours, I was reflecting on my experience with using a created coach but also agree if you don't do that - you'll have enough hours to spend
Yep. With a school with 1000+ hours I'd fill your board and offer all scholarships, then week 2+ you can put your hours into a subset of players until you start getting more commits/hours, then you can start working down the board. No reason not too get started moving towards their top with the scholarship offer eary.
This was an excellent video, and guide. I was initially skeptical this was clickbait, but you did an excellent job in 20 minutes. I'm upset I can only like this video once.
Perfect amount of explanation without a lot of fluff. Seen some videos that talk about nothing, but this one had great precision on the information. Great job!
I unknowingly did your technique in my first season playing as FIU. My goals were to land the best offensive lineman and linebackers because those were the biggest needs in my first season and trying to play with a terrible oline was horrendous and now in year two I’m targeting more weapons because now my trenches are sealed and I can actually throw the ball!
By far the best breakdown. Thank you for giving actual evidence and a scientific approach to things. So many of these “tips” videos are just “I like to…”
Best video I've seen. Everyone else tells you to fill your board. No. Always start with filling needs, going after best you can. Once you get players you need, and lose some, start looking for Gems to fill needs at other positions.
If you recruit 15-20 guys during the season, then in the offseason get 5-10 guys in the portal and I think in 3-4 years you have a perfect roster (assuming they dont instantly leave)
This is a great video. Not just ‘here’s how the menus work’ like most recruiting guides I’ve seen so far but tips and tricks that will actually help you close the deal on prospects.
Regarding “sending the house” - should I be looking to do this straight away to get an early advantage or wait a few weeks let things progress naturally before sending it? The info on pipelines and being able to essentially work out the hard/soft sells is so helpful!
I've been grinding with smaller schools for the most part, but I have been doing a few things out of order. Biggest visits. I'm used to the old game where the later the visit the more it counted, but it makes more sense to sell the player ASAP. This gonna help me out. I was at Miss St as an OC for 2 seasons and I lost everyone almost to Ole Miss. Kinda wanna run that back using a different gameplan.
Graat vid btw...Bordeaux dods a good one too using a smaller school woth a new coach to show it works the same way just obviously lower your expectations unless you use school woth high prestige
These are great tips! Wish i came across them earlier but im jumped in and started dynasty with sam houston, now just starting year 3 preseason recruiting and definitely using ur tips!! Last 2 year ranked 129 and 67 in recruiting respectively..thaannkkk you
Very helpful! Thank you I admittedly had to restart a dynasty because I had 3 commits in week 12 Lol. After watching this I have 6 commits after just 4 weeks. 👍🏻
i knew most of theses things except i didn’t understand the pipeline that actually helped a lot thank u and also your advice about focusing on a smaller group was a great idea. i was worried at first about missing out on prospects but it still works out perfectly.
Im in year 3...I got two 5 🌟 corners ranked #1 and 2 in their position both out of california..im using LSU and USC came in 2nd on both 😳..i offered scholarships right away when i seen both was intersted in my school then sent the house that helped out alot..and they were needs for my team
Word of caution to all you pro recruiters out there: you wont be able to cut any of the new recruits/transfers you get on your roster until the next offseason. I had a receuiting class of 32 prospects because I was trying to get the #1 class and I ended up having to ‘suggest transferring’ to some current guys that would have seen the field that year if I didnt have to get to 85!
Question: If I’m at a Hardsell with an athlete. Would stacking actions like DM player and contact friends/family on top of a hardsell influence the player more than just hardselling him or is it just a waste of resources?
@@arctic2786 yes! Hard sell is your biggest hitter when it’s correct / good grades on it but then it’s just about how many hours you can spend. So yeah stack away
Great video. I just want to add one game changer that alot of people dont know. You can spend more hours on a player by just sending the house one week. And then removing the send the house option on that same player the following week and reallocate the hours to sending a DM, etc. Then sim the next week and then do a hard sell and visit
@@byronford5172 you don’t need to switch out like that. Doing other stuff doesn’t actually get you more info, it’s just about hours spent not arrows or a variety or anything
I see lots of content creators completely ignoring scheduling visits on bye weeks. It seems like getting an early visit to get a huge load in interest would be great?
If you get two motivations for just adding to prospect list, that shows why you should add the maximum on the 1st week, weed out and fill up for the 2nd week. After, weed down to 15-18 for distribution of hours. Just trying to put that together.
5:03 Woah woah woah this seems like the most dynasty-changing tip in this video What do you mean "alone and with nothing else"? Do you mean adding only a single prospect to your board, not touching him, and then advancing a week automatically reveals two of his interests? Or do you mean that adding several prospects to your board and not doing anything to them, will reveal two of their interests each?
should have clarified in video but that happens one time, not weekly. Adding + advance the first time reveals 2 interests. That would happened for us with no hours spent but then not again after that.
I started with Colorado year 1 won the ship . Got job offer for Clemson took it . This my second year I have 4 5 star commits 1 C, 2 DT , 1 LE. I got at least 5 4 stars rn . ( I came 2nd on list 6 other 5 star list . I missed before I realized how to use the hard sell ) 1 .The way I did was send the scholarship early 2. Send the house 3. Figure out the best hard sell for 5 star recruits because some have multiple . 4. You wanna schedule a visit early but you also want the extra influence from certain players or rivalry games. ( I’m using a new coach , Recruiter & all my coaching upgrades have been towards recruiting ) I can’t wait for the season to be over so I can see that new D line 😂😂🔥
I’d like to hear you go more in depth on rebuilding strategies for smaller schools. For example, I’d recruit mostly JUCO guys the first year to fill out the roster and try to snag a unrecruited 3-4 ⭐️ mid season.
This is what I learned after my first year at Rutgers with a created coach. But transfers definitely saved me from a poor recruiting class year 1. Got better once I learned some of this stuff
Hey, new subscriber here. I really appreciate your clear diction and communications skills. Would love it if the music was turned down a bit. Would also appreciate an advanced recruiting video that goes beyond the basics. Thanks again.
3 changes I'd recommend. Pre-Season when you can't pitch or spend hours, you should 100% have a full 35 people scouted. It's a waste of hours otherwise. You can still target 15 during the season. You also can get insta commits, so gotta at least see. They may sign immediate and not cost you anything long time. Don't sort by Stars, Sort by Rank. Still Puts 5-Stars at the top, but in their perceived talent order. I'll add that scheduling visits is something that you want to do early, but need to time correctly. As soon as you start booking guys for the visit, if you exit the recruiting screen at all or advance the week you will not be able schedule anyone else for that game. So if its a "big" game, you'll want to wait to have a few folks so they can compliment one another and get even more points.
you just can not do that if you don't have a HUGE hours budget. Agree that the only time you should scout is in preseason though. You can schedule multiple people for the same visit.
I actually recommend loading your board with 35 in pre season because simply adding them and giving them a 5point scholarship will usually throw you up on their list of school and hold you in the top 5 until mid/late season when your top 15 have committed or fallen off and you’ve already scouted them (during pre season with pre season points) and have your foot in the door. You can’t even spend all your pre season points on 20 guys unless your brand new and have have zero resources in recruiting.
Remember you can remove 'send the house' so once you use 'hard sell' you can allocate your time points to different things. For example, I use 'send the house' early on, but when visit and 'hard sell' is available, I go 'hard sell' (40points)then I go contact friends and family (25points). Mind you I went recruiter as coach specialist. So I had all my positions able to get 15 extra points of time.
Here's a tip: Sometimes you can save time on recruits with different action combos. Instead of contacting friends and family for 25 minutes, DM and Check social media. This will save ten minutes for equal or sometimes more (by 1) influence. Same with sending the house vs Contact + Dm + Check. Those extra ten minutes add up
@@FendlerYT I mean arrows must mean something right? Considering the same action for different recruits can have a different number of arrows between them
Turns out I messed up baaaadly lol. Restarted and dear god it's going so much better. My plucky Kennesaw State is getting some 3-star linemen, linebackers, a QB and, maybe, a 4 star LT. Thanks!
Focusing on 5 and 4 stars is good with a big program. But you can succeed with just 3 stars in the smaller programs just make sure to get the gems and crush the transfer portal(a lot of recruits I got where 3/4 stars that wanted playing time).
Nice tutorial - well done. One question I have is if anyone stacks Hard Sell and Soft Sell (if you have 60 hrs). I’m thinking it doesn’t work well because when you use a sell, you are locked out of using that pitch for a later Hard or Soft Sell, and there’s only one “ideal” pitch that matches the 3 green checks. Maybe hard sell (40) plus Sway (30) using a different pitch though? I could maybe see that if you had 70-75 recruiting points for that player.
Good video and great information. One question tough on the sway and interests. Is it worth it to try and sway if you have 2 A's and C or does the C raiting not hurt much?
I love your presentation and your information seemed solid. I had to stop 6 minutes in because the background music is so loud and repetitive. Thanks for the work you put into the video I just wanted to provide feedback as a prospective sub
@@eugenechurch6135 preseason IMO, and after that as soon as you put them on the board. Haven’t heard an alternate strategy to that that’s actually good and works
if the visits are so influential would you recommend taking off the points you have on each guy to instead apply them to visit (then reapply next week). or would advise not taking any points off and just starting with a smaller board where you can max out points and schedule them all.
@@OsmosisJxnes do what you have to do to get visits scheduled yeah, but then you can reapply the hours afterwards yes. But from my experience with a new coach I needed to cut down on my prospects so kind of both
You mentioned scouting in the preseason, is that the only time I should? Cuz I tend to immediately start giving out scholarships and sending the house. Rarely ever scouting.
Have you done any research on how coach abilities for recruiting effects the recruitment? Coach points add up so slowly and both your OC and DC can unlock recruiter badges... still trying to figure out how to best utilize them. I have unlocked all 6 tiers for a created coach, not sure how much a difference it's making tho. If you can do my research on the recruiter coach abilities, that would only add to this recruitment video 💯
The actual best method is to add all the top 200 players that have you listed as first. Then all the 5 stars regardless of where you are in their top 10. Then fill out any remaining spots with 4 stars where youre listed 1st. Manually save and offer each a scholarship that has you listed 1st. If they don't commit reload until they do. When this is done you should have 20 or so commits before the season even starts. Put 65 points into each of remaining you may need to put 25-10-5 on a recruit or two. Schedule all of them for visists in week 3 and 4. By week 5 youll have a full list of 35 commits.
You messed up right from the start using those stupid buckeyes😂😂😂'course I'm a GoBlue man😂😂😂good video...I learned this the hard way after 2 full seasons of recruiting w/ a smaller school. Haven't used them wolverines yet!

yes, full prospect board works for that but don't forget you only get the two interests one time, it's not weekly
5:03 Woah woah woah this seems like the most dynasty-changing tip in this video
What do you mean "alone and with nothing else"?
Do you mean adding only a single prospect to your board, not touching him, and then advancing a week automatically reveals two of his interests?
Or do you mean that adding several prospects to your board and not doing anything to them, will reveal two of their interests each?
should have clarified in video but that happens one time, not weekly. Adding + advance the first time reveals 2 interests. That would happened for us with no hours spent but then not again after that.
Thank you for clarifying all the small things I couldn't quite figure out like the sway mechanic
I started with Colorado year 1 won the ship .
Got job offer for Clemson took it . This my second year
I have 4 5 star commits
1 C, 2 DT , 1 LE.
I got at least 5 4 stars rn .
( I came 2nd on list 6 other 5 star list . I missed before I realized how to use the hard sell )
1 .The way I did was send the scholarship early
2. Send the house
3. Figure out the best hard sell for 5 star recruits because some have multiple .
4. You wanna schedule a visit early but you also want the extra influence from certain players or rivalry games.
( I’m using a new coach , Recruiter & all my coaching upgrades have been towards recruiting )
I can’t wait for the season to be over so I can see that new D line 😂😂🔥
Great video! makes me want to restart my season.
@@jesseekstrand2441 glad you enjoyed it man!
I’ve been going after gems lmao made Florida #1 and went 12-2
this is the info I needed! I been trying to understand why im winning natty's but getting worse every year 😅 Thank you!
Does the hard sell continue to gain influence if you leave it on?
@@Wardiaz872 yes
I’d like to hear you go more in depth on rebuilding strategies for smaller schools. For example, I’d recruit mostly JUCO guys the first year to fill out the roster and try to snag a unrecruited 3-4 ⭐️ mid season.
This is what I learned after my first year at Rutgers with a created coach. But transfers definitely saved me from a poor recruiting class year 1. Got better once I learned some of this stuff
Already won me over with my Buckeyes in the beginning 💪🏾💪🏾 This really helped now I wanna start my Dynasty over 😂😂
I wanna start mines over too lol but I'm in year 3 with a top 2 recruiting class behind Georgia
Never even thought about using the dealbreaker to help with the motivations !
comeon maaan!
This is cool when u gor 1200 hours and 5 stars want to play for you😂 shit gets a million times harder when they dont know who you are
@@45atanner I played mine at Rutgers with a created coach. This video has nothing to do with the school. It’s all the strategy involved
@FendlerYT oh nothing to do huh lol I can't even get 5 stars to look at me. Only get 4 stars
@@45atanner yeah, that’s how it works. Has zero to do with this video lol
@@45atanner sounds like a skill issue
Congrats on partner! Appreciate the tjme you took to test this today!
my pleasure bro and thank you!
"I'll answer any questions in the comments..." So, here is my question.... What is the nature of time? 😏
I'll time your nature alright buddy
Yes
Ayoooooo 😳
@@FendlerYTsounds sexual
never thought about trying to play anything but cut. but i am thinking about following and trying it!!!!

Hey, new subscriber here. I really appreciate your clear diction and communications skills. Would love it if the music was turned down a bit. Would also appreciate an advanced recruiting video that goes beyond the basics. Thanks again.
Thanks for the sub!
this is GOLD, man.
3 changes I'd recommend.
Pre-Season when you can't pitch or spend hours, you should 100% have a full 35 people scouted. It's a waste of hours otherwise. You can still target 15 during the season. You also can get insta commits, so gotta at least see. They may sign immediate and not cost you anything long time.
Don't sort by Stars, Sort by Rank. Still Puts 5-Stars at the top, but in their perceived talent order.
I'll add that scheduling visits is something that you want to do early, but need to time correctly. As soon as you start booking guys for the visit, if you exit the recruiting screen at all or advance the week you will not be able schedule anyone else for that game. So if its a "big" game, you'll want to wait to have a few folks so they can compliment one another and get even more points.
Should you offer all 35 of them scholarships or no?
you just can not do that if you don't have a HUGE hours budget. Agree that the only time you should scout is in preseason though. You can schedule multiple people for the same visit.
Thanks Fend. Congrats on Bubba #2
Really clear and concise explanation thanks for the video
Glad you liked it
Another Great Video!
Thank you!
Next level tips. Well done sir
Method madness recruiting genius
Man, it’s stressful doing this in a video game. I can’t imagine having the stress of an actual coach 😂
I actually recommend loading your board with 35 in pre season because simply adding them and giving them a 5point scholarship will usually throw you up on their list of school and hold you in the top 5 until mid/late season when your top 15 have committed or fallen off and you’ve already scouted them (during pre season with pre season points) and have your foot in the door. You can’t even spend all your pre season points on 20 guys unless your brand new and have have zero resources in recruiting.
This was extremely helpful! Liked and subscribed 👍🏾
Love to hear that!!! Appreciate you telling me
Great vid! Thanks for the info. You probably mentioned it but when is the optimal time to offer a scholarship??
kind of whenever? but you can do it in the preseason with your scouting
Excellent tutorial. Thanks.
Remember you can remove 'send the house' so once you use 'hard sell' you can allocate your time points to different things. For example, I use 'send the house' early on, but when visit and 'hard sell' is available, I go 'hard sell' (40points)then I go contact friends and family (25points). Mind you I went recruiter as coach specialist. So I had all my positions able to get 15 extra points of time.
@@FreedomBandit8 yes you can remove any action lol
Here's a tip: Sometimes you can save time on recruits with different action combos. Instead of contacting friends and family for 25 minutes, DM and Check social media. This will save ten minutes for equal or sometimes more (by 1) influence. Same with sending the house vs Contact + Dm + Check. Those extra ten minutes add up
Not correct. Influence goes by hours rather than arrows. We tested it.
@@FendlerYT I mean arrows must mean something right? Considering the same action for different recruits can have a different number of arrows between them
phenomenal video
This video is great. This also seems like stuff that EA should've said somewhere lol
Oh this is super helpful, thank you! Think I slightly messed up with a few prospects at Top 5 phase, but I've played 5 games and am not restarting!
Turns out I messed up baaaadly lol. Restarted and dear god it's going so much better. My plucky Kennesaw State is getting some 3-star linemen, linebackers, a QB and, maybe, a 4 star LT. Thanks!
you got it man!!!
Focusing on 5 and 4 stars is good with a big program. But you can succeed with just 3 stars in the smaller programs just make sure to get the gems and crush the transfer portal(a lot of recruits I got where 3/4 stars that wanted playing time).
Nice tutorial - well done.
One question I have is if anyone stacks Hard Sell and Soft Sell (if you have 60 hrs). I’m thinking it doesn’t work well because when you use a sell, you are locked out of using that pitch for a later Hard or Soft Sell, and there’s only one “ideal” pitch that matches the 3 green checks.
Maybe hard sell (40) plus Sway (30) using a different pitch though? I could maybe see that if you had 70-75 recruiting points for that player.
Good video and great information. One question tough on the sway and interests. Is it worth it to try and sway if you have 2 A's and C or does the C raiting not hurt much?
if you mean hard sell, two A's and a C are still worth doing IMO
@@FendlerYT i was wondering if its more worth it to try and sway first then hard sell or just hard sell
this may be a dumb question but is there anyway you could do a deep dive with the red shirting? and when and who you should red shirt?
Best tutorial for sure. Thank you
glad you think so man!
Thoughts on spending the hours to fully scout prospects at the start of the year? Specifically in year 1 or 2 with lower college prestige. Thanks!
Definitely, since that’s all you can do in preseason anyway
I love your presentation and your information seemed solid. I had to stop 6 minutes in because the background music is so loud and repetitive. Thanks for the work you put into the video I just wanted to provide feedback as a prospective sub
I am not interested in courting you for a free subscription
@@FendlerYT fair enough just sharing my opinion! Again thank you for all the hard work you put into the video
When shoulds you offer a scholorship?
@@eugenechurch6135 preseason IMO, and after that as soon as you put them on the board. Haven’t heard an alternate strategy to that that’s actually good and works
Wow this helps. I’ve been struggling with getting only 1 or 2 commits lol
if the visits are so influential would you recommend taking off the points you have on each guy to instead apply them to visit (then reapply next week). or would advise not taking any points off and just starting with a smaller board where you can max out points and schedule them all.
@@OsmosisJxnes do what you have to do to get visits scheduled yeah, but then you can reapply the hours afterwards yes. But from my experience with a new coach I needed to cut down on my prospects so kind of both
You mentioned scouting in the preseason, is that the only time I should?
Cuz I tend to immediately start giving out scholarships and sending the house. Rarely ever scouting.
just since that's the only thing you can spend on in the preseason other than scholarships, I think yeah
@@FendlerYT thanks, once you move on out of preseason, do you bother with scouting any player?
Have you done any research on how coach abilities for recruiting effects the recruitment? Coach points add up so slowly and both your OC and DC can unlock recruiter badges... still trying to figure out how to best utilize them. I have unlocked all 6 tiers for a created coach, not sure how much a difference it's making tho. If you can do my research on the recruiter coach abilities, that would only add to this recruitment video 💯
The actual best method is to add all the top 200 players that have you listed as first. Then all the 5 stars regardless of where you are in their top 10. Then fill out any remaining spots with 4 stars where youre listed 1st. Manually save and offer each a scholarship that has you listed 1st. If they don't commit reload until they do. When this is done you should have 20 or so commits before the season even starts. Put 65 points into each of remaining you may need to put 25-10-5 on a recruit or two. Schedule all of them for visists in week 3 and 4. By week 5 youll have a full list of 35 commits.
You messed up right from the start using those stupid buckeyes😂😂😂'course I'm a GoBlue man😂😂😂good video...I learned this the hard way after 2 full seasons of recruiting w/ a smaller school. Haven't used them wolverines yet!
