Hey Bordeaux, someone already posted this under another video on your other channel, but I wanna repost here too. I think, as a send off to the greatest coach of all time’s career, you should do the Nick Saban Challenge. Using Alabama, you have to get 7 national championships, 9 conference Titles, 4 Heisman winners, a winning record against Auburn, Tennessee, and LSU, and you have his career of 17 years to do it all. If that's not enough you could try for 76 First Team All Americans, sign a top 5 recruit class 16 of 17 years just like he did or have 44 1st round draft picks. On Heisman of course.
36:20 is a wild statement. "Finishing is normally my strong suit, I am way quicker than I want to be but not in this situation." I just found 15:06 and it might be the wildest thing I have ever heard
Gem/Bust talks about the recruits dev trait, not overall/stats... For Example, a 3 star gem might have star dev, while a 4 star bust only has normal dev, their ratings are still the same though.
The dev traits are part of it, but a five star gem has a better overall than a five star bust 90% of the time. Edit: athlete scramblers are broken rn and all the three star busts can be better than 5 star fields generals
well like you just said, a 3 star gem would have the same stats as a 4 star bust so ratings are still a part of it. I'm pretty sure development traits are mostly random since theres a perk to reveal them on visits although busts might only get normal dev
@@elitetv1735 idk where you're getting that info from, EA themselves said a 3 star gem is equivalent to a 4 star and a 5 star bust is still as good as a 4 star in terms of ratings. And there wouldn't be much value to scouting the development trait on visits with the perk that unlocks it, if all gem prospects have star development.
Bordeaux I also agree about the gym and bust may not truly reflect their overall raw talent, but I also think that for three stars and four stars a gem would be considered someone with an impact star or elite dev trait
agile athletes aren’t always OL. When you see an Agile ATH and he has higher end speed often times they can be very very good on the DL. I had an Agile ATH come in as an 80 ovr DT. Just because they don’t have good blocking stats if it’s a ATH Gem and I see at least 2 stats I like they are almost always guaranteed to be very nice somewhere on the field.
You can get an insta-commit anytime that you're first on a players list and you offer him. I believe the other insta-commit trait that you unlock can give you the ability to make a guy commit when you're not even first on their list. I just know that I've had plenty of guys commit when I offered them.
I just cant get over the sim engine in this game, I had UCLA built up to a 89-90 overall, just to drop home games to 80-81 overall teams consistently, like multiple times a year
Keep up the good work @bordeaux. I played football for UK so it’s awesome seeing the love for the Cats every few videos! Love seeing your content for CFB 25 pop up on my phone
Love your rebuilds bordeaux, as a student at Western Michigan I would love to see you rebuild and bring them a championship since the last really good team we had, we lost to Wisconsin back in the 2017 Cotten Bowl. Hope I can see you rebuild them one day. Keep up the good work.
Hey Bordeaux, you should try recruiting the “better” busts and “worse” gems to see if the gems at least have a better dev trait. That could be the reason why they are a gem, otherwise I’m just as confused as you are 🤷🏻♂️
Bordeaux, if you want your passes to be more accurate, set the pass type to placement and accuracy, the pass lead increase to small, and the reticle speed to 16. That’ll help you get those back shoulder passes and beat those corner routes, and you can place the ball where you need it to be.
Whenever your passing on revamped accuracy try and get it inside the yellow you will get a more accurate and harder pass not making it to yellow will lob the ball and not as good of accuracy just a heads up
In my experience the gem players have nothing to do with individual ratings (maybe it affects their overall rating), I think it affects their Dev Trait. For example, a gem player is more likely to be an impact, star, or elite dev while a bust player is more likely to be a normal dev player. Some gems are low dev and some busts are high dev, but those are exceptions to the rule I think. A bust may be a better player than a gem as a freshman but will certainly be worse by their senior years.
Is it possible that scouting shows what the recruits stats are as their star that is represented? So if they were a 3 star gem you would be seeing 3 star stats and not the 4 star stats. I think it would be cool if that was the case that when the gem popped up it would show the +/- to those stats for them being a gem. I'm also a big advocate of seeing the stat increases at the end of the season like it used to have like (+4) or whatever to the side of each stat.

@@clintdodson5785 big if true, i get a lot of gems but I haven't really tracked who ends up with good development traits. It would make 4 star gems more valuable than 5 star busts pretty much 100% of the time, so thats good to keep in mind.
@@manwithnewname A 4 star bust is equal to a regular 3 star, and a 3 star gem is equal to a regular 4 star. It's just one star over or under. I think you just got the wrong info man idk
what is the difference between hard sell and send the house? Like so many people jump on hard sell as soon as possible- i thought hard sell gave 4 bonus pts, and send the house gave 5, so why hard sell over send the house?
I enjoy your work bro I am taking notes on how to be a better college football 25 player watching your videos if nothing else I mostly learn what not to do LOL
Gems vs busts I think is a dev thing. The busts are rated what they are rating in the class based off their stats. They probably won’t improve much if at all from where they are. Where gems will get better as it goes on
Bordeaux, i have a revamped passing tip. Don't try and lead your passes if you are. That's why your passes miss so badly sometimes. Revamped leads the receiver for you.
I believe that busts and gems refers to either the dev trait or abilities rather than the actual stats Edit: I finished the video and welp he already knew this lol
I heard that the bust and gem system has more to do with their development trait rather then their stats. So maybe getting some medium stats with high development is better than good stats with low development.
gems matter more on a Dev trait scale, a gem 3 star can have impact (the highest dev) and be able to develop into those game breaking/record holders for your program, 4 star busted gems are 79-80 but that is all they will get too bc they have a normal dev and no room for improvement.
I also wish that they would fix the scene where they hold the trophy in their full uniforms...helmet and all. It's not realistic for the team to be wearing helmets during the trophy presentation.
Would you consider adding in a recruiting restriction that says “academic” needs to be in their ideal pitch? Allowing you to use sway to get that academic pitch.
