Roster screens gives different pipelines than recruiting screen

Unless I missed it, I'm not seeing a way to increase your pipeline levels throughout a dynasty. Can anyone help me out with this?

    Hey everyone,

    Just to provide a bit of clarity, keep in mind that the pipeline level does not change on a per-school basis.

    This does mean certain schools will have an advantage with their recruiting while also reflecting the difficulty this can present for smaller schools in the region.

    Please take a look through our Dynasty Deep Dive here for more details about pipelines and other dynasty mechanics!

    Hey @Dirty_Smeegs_33, thanks for taking the time to grab those screenshots.

    You and @xLEMx have both mentioned roster screen pipelines, can I ask where you're seeing those? 

    If you've moved a player to your roster, they should no longer be in a pipeline which seems to be what your screenshots are reflecting. I'm not quite sure where you're seeing incorrect schools listed on the roster screen.

  • @EA_Mako It’s on the right hand side of the screen where the players hometown is listed on the player details…. Same place as the recruiting screens.
  • Literally in the screenshots that Smeegs posted. Look next to the players' hometown on the roster screen card.

    Obviously every player doesn't show a pipeline. But the ones that do in the roster screen are incorrect. And there are others that are missing correct pipeline designations. (If they were even intended to be on that screen).

    I am not sure if it affects anything, but it is certainly not correct. Maybe not even intended to be there? (As you mentioned pipelines don't seem to have any meaning once a recruit is on the roster)

  • A somewhat related issue is that all NIL players in dynasty that are from Delaware incorrectly show their pipeline as New England instead of Tidewater on their "View Player Card" within the Roster Management screen.

    This is does not affect the generated recruits which correctly align Delaware with Tidewater.

    Sorry folks, I want to make sure I'm passing along the information accurately. Here's one of your roster screenshots from above. I'm missing where you're seeing any pipeline information next to the player's hometown.

    Where you showed the pipeline details in the recruiting screen, here on the roster I see the Physical and Mental perks and no pipeline details which should be as expected.

    @EA_MakoI also have the same issue that's being mentioned. In the screenshot you've posted Zach Amerson should show a silver pipeline by Groton, MA as UMass has a silver pipeline for MA in recruiting. David Reavis (screenshot above) shows a 4 pipeline by Pocatello, ID despite UMass having no ID pipeline, while Steven Johns and Giddeon Addai show gold pipelines for NJ and NY despite UMass having silver pipelines for these in the recruiting screenshots. So the pipelines shown in the roster page by each player's hometown don't seem to reflect the recruiting pipelines for the school. I also have this issue.
    Apologies if I've also misunderstood @Dirty_Smeegs_33 though I don't think I have!

    Thanks @oak696.

    Without having screenshots of the same player in Recruiting and then on the Roster to compare, and given most of the roster images don't even show an icon, I wanted to be sure there wasn't some other explanation here.

    We'll pass thing along be looked into.

  • @EA_Mako Also, on a related note. Could you have someone look into “proximity to home” logic. I cover it in that comprehensive post thread I sent you but figured it was worth highlighting here since it’s related to pipelines. UMass has B proximity for Massachusetts kids and A+ proximity for NJ kids… makes no sense.
  • I'm here in January 2025 wondering if this has been explained or resolved?

    I just started an offline dynasty, still uear one, and im perplexed by this issue/bug.

    As Eastern Michigan, i have players on my roster who have gold and blue pipeline pings on their player cards, but in Recruiting, the best EMU has is silver. 

    My guess is that EA'S use of AI messed this up, just like how it incorrectly lists bowl game wins on some teams timelines
