00:00Hey everyone, Kirk Herbstreit here with EA Sports College Football 25, back for another deep dive.
00:06This time we're talking about everyone's favorite mode, Dynasty. Online Dynasty and College Football
00:1425 can accommodate up to 32 teams and you can play with friends for up to 30 seasons.
00:21Today we'll take a closer look at the new 12-team college football playoff, recruiting,
00:27the transfer portal, and a ton of customization options to make your program unique.
00:34College football has seen seismic changes over the past few years and in EA Sports College Football
00:4125 you can experience this new landscape while building your program the way you want.
00:47The 2024 season marks the debut of the new 12-team college football playoff
00:52and you can play it first in the game months before the real thing. You can be the first
00:59coach to lead your school through the new 12-team playoff and hoist the college football playoff
01:04trophy. Recruiting is the lifeblood of college football and in a world of unlimited transfers,
01:14managing your dynasty roster has never been more important.
01:18Evaluate your needs and opportunities for talent upgrades at the start of each season.
01:24The best way to build a powerhouse is to recruit through the high school ranks.
01:29So let's fill up your recruiting board. Each year over 3,500 high school recruits are generated
01:36from all over the country with certain regions representing real-world hotspots for blue chip
01:42talent like South Florida and Metro Atlanta. Do research to find recruits that best fit your
01:49program and determine who you can realistically land. A recruit's interest in your school is
01:56decided by 14 different pitch grades like proximity to home, playing time, and brand exposure. So
02:04you'll need to discover how your program's pitch grades align with your recruits' desires
02:09in addition to scouting for talent.
02:15Some players have a deal-breaker requirement and if your program cannot provide, the recruit will
02:20lock you out. Deal-breakers also drive a player's decision to enter the transfer portal. Monitor
02:28at-risk players and get one last chance to convince your favorites to stay. Track your recruits as
02:35they narrow down their top schools. Pitch a prospect to gain more interest and then set up
02:42school visits when the timing is right. It's crucial to remain in their top 10, then 8, then 5
02:51to finally be part of their top 3. As a recruit trims down to the top 8, you can attempt to
02:57increase your appeal. If your school doesn't have exactly what the prospect is looking for,
03:03you can try to sway their opinion in your favor. Plan visits that elevate a recruit's experience,
03:09like pairing a quarterback visit with a wide receiver visit at the same time.
03:14It's crucial to keep an eye on the transfer portal when it opens in the offseason to round out your
03:20roster with talent you couldn't land from recruiting. Add portal prospects to your board
03:26just like you would with recruiting, but expect quick decisions as transfers have a shorter
03:31timeline to land a new home. Conference realignment is a hot topic in college football
03:38and with custom conferences in EA Sports College Football 25, Dynasty is yours to control. See what
03:45a 20-team super conference might look like or revert to the traditional conference alignment.
03:52Shape the conference size and membership and set custom conference rules, set up divisions and more.
03:59Once you've settled your conference options, it's time to select your team. Begin with a
04:04highly ranked team and dominate at the top with repeat recruiting and playoff success.
04:10Or, build from the ground up with a smaller program and prove you have what it takes to
04:15go from an unknown to postseason favorite. We can't talk about your Dynasty without talking
04:23about your starting job. Start as an offensive or defensive coordinator and climb the ranks to head
04:29coach or take over a program as the head coach right away. Choose from one of the three base
04:36coaching types to start. Your coach type will determine what coaching skill tree you start with.
04:42From there, the abilities you acquire as you progress will determine what kind of coach
04:47you develop into. Unlock additional skill trees with better abilities or if you build up multiple
04:54skill trees, you can unlock hybrid trees that leverage a more diverse skill set.
05:00The coaching carousel is an important part of every coach's journey. Whether you're the head
05:06man at your dream school or working your way up, the carousel is your way of fielding offers from
05:11other programs. Head coaches in Dynasty can actively manage their coordinator positions, so
05:18if one of your staff takes a job elsewhere or you decide to cut ties for other reasons, you can use
05:23the carousel to replace them. Remember, even the greatest coaches need support and every coach has
05:30a unique skill tree. It's important to think about how you want to build your staff, whether that's
05:35doubling down on your existing strengths to max out your benefits or seeking out balance for a
05:42well-rounded staff. Choose wisely. The decisions you make here will matter to your program success
05:49and your coach's progression. The benefits of coach talents are stackable, so if your head
05:55coach and defensive coordinator have the same ability, the impact for that ability will be greater.
06:01Well, that's it for today's deep dive in the Dynasty mode in EA Sports College Football 25.
