The “Quick View” tab shows the complementary and competitive visits for every position in the game.
The “Group Visit Planner” tab helps create the perfect combination for multiple visits in the same week.
The CollegeFootball.gg Complementary Visit Tool helps you schedule the best possible combination of complimentary visits for your recruits while avoid competitive visits.
The “Quick View” tab displays a list of all complementary and competitive visits by position while the “Group Visit Planner” helps optimize for up to 4 recruits visiting during the same week.
First off, the game does not give you any direction on what qualifies as a complementary visit and what qualifies as a competitive visit until after the visit has taken place.
The right complementary visits can help give your recruit a significant boost while competitive visits can really drag down the results of a visit.
Some are obvious like scheduling visits for a QB and a WR on the same week. However, some are much less obvious.
Are a LG and a RT complementary or competitive? What about a LG and a RG? Or a FS and a SS? What about HBs and TEs?
You may know the answer to a few of those off the top of your head but you likely aren’t confident in all of them. This tool helps give you the confidence that you are scheduling the correct complementary visits.
There’s a lot more that goes into maximizing the influence gain on your visits. You also have to take into account margin of victory, strength of your opponent, pipeline strength, and the motivation you pitch on the visit.
The more of these that you optimize, the better your recruiting influence gain will be and therefore the more likely you are to land an important recruit.
Within the “Group Visit Planner” there are two options: Maximize Top Target and Balanced Approach.
Maximize Top Target makes sense when you have 1 recruit you absolutely must have and you don’t particularly care about any other recruit you have on a visit that week.
Balanced Approach makes more sense when you want all of the recruits on a weekly visit to get a decent influence gain.
For example, let’s say you are recruiting a 5 Star WR that has you in a very tight recruiting battle.
The only complementary visit for a WR is a QB.
The Maximize Top Target approach will tell you to bring in 3 QBs to go along with your WR that week. The 3 QBs will have terrible visits because they are all competitive visits. However, your top priority, the 5 star WR, will maximize their complementary visit boost due to having 3 complementary visits (all 3 QBs).
Contrast that with the Balanced Approach where our system may recommend you add a QB as the second visit to help the WR but then it would prioritize helping the whole group over simply just helping the WR. So with this approach our system might recommend adding a LT which would help both the LT and the QB and not hurt the WR.
Ultimately there are times when you may take either approach which is why we give you the choice.
