College Football 25 Passing Types, Explained
InEA Sports College Football 25, yourexperience as a quarterbackand offensive general can be tweaked to suit your experience and style of play. This is achieved through the passing type options, in which the game has four. From when you first launch the game, you have these choices for passing style:
Each of these passing styles have their own UI and focus on some areas of passing and receiving over others. This allows you to maximize on your strengths as a quarterback andoffensive coordinator. To make the right choice, you will first need to understand the differences between these passing types.
Placement Passing
Placement Passing gives you the ability to quickly control the behavior of the ball as it makes its way to the intended target. Once you select your receiver, you’ll have a small meter that determines how much power is in the throw, followed by a target area where the ball will land. The accuracy of your passes will be largely determined by the rating of the player throwing the ball.
Placement & Accuracy Passing
Similar to Placement Passing, Placement & Accuracy relies more on the timing of your release to determine how accurate the delivery is and how likely it is to succeed. When you select your receiver, a meter will quickly appear, from which you need to time the throw. If you release in the green zone, you’ve pulled off an optimal pass and given the receiver the best chance of scoring, and your Road To Glory player the best chance ofearning the coach’s trust.
Classic Passing
Classic Passing is the most basic of passing types and will be familiar to thosewho have experience inMadden-style games. There are no meters or visual aids, it’s a simple matter of pressing the button indicated above your intended receiver.
Revamped Passing
Revamped Passing is the standard setting forCollege Football 25and ultimately gives you the most freedom when it comes to the speed, power, and accuracy of your passes. With this style, you’re able to dial back on the power of your throws to deliver a more suitable passing style for the situation in front of you. If a player is behind their defender and has a speed advantage, it would be better to take some of the power away so you give them a lob instead of a bullet. This option opens up the ability to change between those two passing styles, as well as the third option of a touch pass.
Which Passing Type Should I Use?
The passing type you select inCollege Football 25is largely a personal preference, but you may change the style according to your experience and how confident you are as a quarterback. If you’re still learning the ropes of the game, then Classic Passing is great starting point to get the hang of reading plays and selecting the right receiver.
However, forthe most immersive and hands-on approachto your offense, we wouldrecommend the Revamped Passing type. By using this, you have more freedom to adjust your strategy as the play unfolds, and will have a much better chance to pull off that winning play if you can tweak your pass to suit your intended receiver.
You can change the Passing Type at any time from the Settings menu, either via Options during a game, or from Profile in the main menu.
