How do pipelines work?

Pipelines are a recruiting mechanic used in dynasty mode in College Football 26. Like in the previous version of the game, players select the program they want to control, and they have a coach to start. They will then be able to choose the pipeline they want to focus on. You will have a greater influence on recruiting players from the pipeline you select.

How to choose a pipeline

The best way to choose a pipeline is to take a second to examine your program when you start a new dynasty mode. Consider what your plans are for your program. Are you planning to commit to one program for your entire career? If that is the case, it is often best to stick with a pipeline in that same region.

However, if you want to move between different teams, it is better to choose one of the top pipelines. That means you should be able to bring in top recruits regardless of the program you are controlling at that time.
