"New" Pipelines states?

[buckeye02]

Is there anywhere that offcially says how to add a pipeline states to your program. I heard that if you have 3-4 players "currently" on your roster, that state would be a pipeline state. I have seen people lose pipeline states due to not recruiting players from that state. Can anyone confirm?

Going for trophies? Last year it was a certain number can't remember what it was definitely under 10 though.

Re: "New" Pipelines states?

If I recall correctly, the number is 4. Once I've established a pipeline I try to keep the number at 6 just in case. Is the home town/state information available for your current roster once in dynasty? I've never been able to tell how many were graduating from a given state and that's not something I'm interested in tracking on my own.

The hometowns are wrong, but most of the home states should be correct.

As far as this goes, yes. In my North Texas dynasty, I had Louisiana as a pipeline state during the first year. I didn't pay attention to it much for some reason (I don't recall if I got any recruits from LA that year, my guess would be no), but it wasn't a pipeline state for me the year after.

Re: "New" Pipelines states?

So is it 3 or 4 players from the same state to gain a new pipeline? Ive already got platinum, just wanting to maybe expand my recruiting in my online dynasty.

Re: "New" Pipelines states?

In games past it has been 4, personally I feel it should be double that at least

I think 4 is a good number especially this year. If we had a full 85 man roster, than i would agree with you.

Re: "New" Pipelines states?

how do you check the home towns of the players on your team?

Not sure if you can see it from the dynasty, but if you go out to the main menu an edit the rosters, you can see each player's home town and state. Although the hometown's wont be right, but the state's should be correct.

Yeah, it would help if we had 85 man rosters. I just believe its too easy to just grab 4 guys from a state, in theory at least. Obviously its harder to recruit in general if you're Toledo compared to Ohio State though so, there's probably why its 4 instead of 7-8. They keep it fairly easy for the little guy. Just doesn't sound challenging at 4.

I don't believe you can check in dynasty what players hometowns are, though you can in the edit roster before you start the dynasty. Doesn't help down the road for keeping track unless there's that export team feature I remember/or dreamed up.

Re: "New" Pipelines states?

Or you can do what i do and keep track of all the recruits that make your team on a notepad or computer. Yeah, i get very in depth with my dynasty.

Yeah, i recruit on AA so its gonna be tough to grab 4 guys from CA or TX even if i am OSU. I guess if i can grab 2 guys each year it would be that hard right?

I'm going to get super in depth with mine this year, its the only way for me to keep interested in a single player dynasty anymore

I aways wondered why EA sports decided to put such low roster numbers for us. I remember when it was lower than 70. Man was that rough.
