In this guide, we’ll explore how you can easily win recruitment battles in College Football 26, including the best tactics for close battles.
College Football 26 is here, and owners of the Xbox Series S/X and the PS5 can dive right into the game. There are lots of mechanics to master here, both as a player and as a coach. For the latter, recruiting is always a crucial part of college football. The recruiting battles in the game can be intense, especially if you aren’t prepared for them. So, in the following guide, we’ll explore how you can win recruitment battles in College Football 26 easily.
Winning Recruitment Battles in College Football 26
One of the very first choices you make while starting up a fresh dynasty mode save will have a huge impact on your ability to win recruiting battles. During the beginning of the mode, you will need to pick one of three available backstories – Recruiter, Motivator, or Tactician. Each one of these backstories provides some benefits to you as a coach. However, if you plan to excel in the recruiting battles, picking the Recruiter backstory will serve you well later on.
However, only your backstory selection won’t help you win recruiting battles. If you choose a lower-tier team, players will be reluctant to join regardless of what backstory you have chosen when starting dynasty mode. A low-tier team will not attract top recruits, at least for their first few years in the program, so make sure you are choosing your team carefully as well.
Lastly, you’ll have to pay close attention when deciding on the pipeline. Pipelines are specific geographical regions within the country from which most of your recruiting will happen. So, players from your pipeline are more likely to join your program than others. Your pipeline choice will depend on the school that you pick. Different schools have different pipelines, so make sure you check this factor out before picking your school.

How To Win Close Recruitment Battles in College Football 26
In some scenarios, potential recruits might narrow down their options to two or three programs, including yours. This is the ideal time to influence their decisions to ensure they choose your school. Every player has different motivations, and you can make offers to them based on these. If your way of influencing is successful, you’ll see green check marks. However, if you fail to sway the player with your offerings, a red X will denote that too.
The final tactic to use to win over a potential recruit is to offer them a higher scholarship. Make sure that you’ve mostly done well in all your other influences up until this point. Then, as a last-ditch effort, offer a bigger scholarship to them, and the player might just decide to join your program.
