Electronic Arts shared a deep dive into EA Sports College Football 25. Developers showcased the upcoming sports sim’s revamped passing, wear and tear, weather, and more.
EA Sports College Football 25 features revamped passing and more
“Our main objective in the pass game,” wrote Scott O’Gallagher on the official blog, “was to hone the art of layering the football.” Developers used various methods to accomplish this, including overhauled passing trajectories and changes to inaccuracy miss locations. College Football 25 players will also notice that “Throw Power” now refers to how hard a player can throw the ball rather than just the distance of the throw.
The difficulty of a pass will also depend on multiple factors in the upcoming game. These include the player’s stats and things like being on the back foot, pressured, or on the run. “No different from real life,” explained O’Gallagher,” trying to push the ball downfield consistently, with a Quarterback who has a weak arm, is not a great move.” Developers have also enhanced the pump fake mechanic and improved defenders’ reactions to the feint.
The weather will also be an important factor in EA Sports College Football 25. Handling a wet football makes passing more difficult, making drops and fumbles more common. Players will also have a hard time moving on a soaked or snowy field, and that applies to tackling as well. Punts and field goals will also be much more challenging during inclement weather.
Meanwhile, EA Sports College Football 25’s new wear and tear system simulates the effects of injury and exhaustion. Players will get worn out or hurt and may need to sit games out while they recover, though some will resist damage better than others. Wear and tear will also have different effects based on the body part. “For instance,” O’Gallagher said, “if your quarterback’s throwing arm receives a significant hit, you’ll notice a decrease in your throw power and accuracy.”
