Understanding the New Gem System

Recent community speculation suggested that EA secretly nerfed the gem system in Dynasty Mode. However, our comprehensive data analysis reveals a different story. Not only have three-star gems remained viable, but evidence suggests they’ve actually improved in certain aspects.

Four-Star Gem Analysis

Our research examined multiple four-star recruits, analyzing both gems and normal players. Here’s what the data reveals:

Development Distribution for Four-Star Gems:

• 20% show Impact Development (14-22 skill caps)
• 40% display Star Development (8-17 skill caps)
• 40% exhibit Elite Development (5+ skill caps)

Three-Star Gem Performance

Contrary to popular belief, three-star gems have shown remarkable improvement. The data indicates:

• 70% achieve Impact Development or higher
• Average skill caps range from 14-22
• Improved development trait distribution compared to previous findings

Normal Players vs. Gems: Breaking Down the Numbers

When examining normal players marked as hidden gems, we discovered fascinating patterns:

• 60% show Normal Development (15-22 skill caps)
• Higher average skill caps compared to three-star counterparts
• More diverse development trait distribution

Key Findings and Recommendations

Our analysis confirms that EA hasn’t implemented significant negative changes to four-star gems. In fact, the data suggests that three-star gems have become more valuable than ever, offering excellent development potential with the right scouting approach.

Best Practices for Recruiting:

1. Focus on development traits rather than initial star ratings
2. Consider skill cap ranges when evaluating prospects
3. Don’t overlook three-star gems in your recruiting strategy

Conclusion

While the community continues to debate potential changes to Dynasty Mode’s recruiting system, our data-driven analysis provides clear evidence that the gem system remains robust and potentially even improved for certain prospect categories. This research offers valuable insights for players looking to build dominant programs in EA College Football 25.
