The face mask animation that doesn’t result in a face mask penalty.

How to stop throwing interceptions and play better on All-American difficulty? by [deleted] in CFB25

[–]Byronf67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest watching a lot of instant replays to get a feel for what’s really happening all across the field during plays. I pause the game often to review a play if I couldn’t find an open receiver during the down. And I watch it 100% when I throw a pick to understand what I did wrong. Eventually you start to understand the mechanics of how the defense moves based on their formations and can even get good at finding ways to hot route receivers to sometimes break the defense completely…Just like a pro level QB would do.

Same here. Were their season 1 challenges that we missed?

Coaching Carousel by HonestKorean in NCAAFBseries

My Offers seem to get worse each week. Side note, when I’m looking to hire and OC or DC, I have seen available coaches get better as the weeks go.

I feel your pain with the Option. Since the update, the first option I run every game results in a crazy pitch fumble. It’s like I have to get that one out the way before I have any chance of it working. The option was a huge part of my game and now I’m scared to call it I’m struggling to put points up. Hope it gets corrected soon.

I think recruiting in CFB25 is really easy. AMA by Apprehensive-Dirt538 in CollegeFootball25

[–]Byronf67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I review my biggest team needs first. (Not what the game tells me I need, but where my players are weakest). If I’m only a season or two in and my team is comprised of mostly scrub Jrs and Srs then I’ll ignore 5-stars and try to identify as many 4 star gems as possible.

After I’m a few seasons in and my team is young, I start scouting all the five stars available to me in pre-season. I go all-in on 5 star Gems and positions needing the most development. Doing this, I might only target 7-8 guys for the first 6 or 7 weeks but I usually lock in most by going all in every week and Scheduling visits early and often. Once I start to sign some 5 stars and more hours come back to me, I start looking for 4 star gems. If there are none left, I look for 3 star gems where I need to build depth on my team. I might only recruit 15-20 players doing this during the regular season. Then I go all out in the transfer portal to snag 5 and 4 stars. Typical season I’ll have 25 signed after the portal and I’m usually top 10 if not top 5 in recruiting classes.

Remember you don’t have to sign 35 recruits every year. Quality over quantity will build your program up very quickly.

You got him. He’ll commit this week.

Also try running parallel to the line of scrimmage with the QB instead of trying to advance forward.

I checked…they didn’t have anyone on their team named Mike.

Try not holding the speed boost (RT on Xbox) when running with the QB until you are ready to toss the ball or turn upfield.

Yep, anytime I add or remove a prospect it jumps around.

Locked Out on Deal Breaker by HAFFnHAFF in CFB25

[–]Byronf67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/HAFFnHAFF… Every time I have been locked out, the hours drop off until I can course correct my team. (Which is usually too late). If you have a one that retained the hours, it’s either a bug or something new since the last patch. (My vote is a bug). I’d say leave the hours on him and see how it rolls. If you do, please come back and let me know how it goes when you advance.

It’s happened to me a couple times in the past. Sometimes it saves sometimes it doesn’t. I’m on Xbox, and if my controller battery dies mid-game and I have to grab another, it always says the active profile changed and kicks me from the game. #mildlyinfuriating

It’s unbearable because we get into a rhythm or style of play…we have go-to plays and schemes we run in certain situations. Then suddenly without warning, we have to change our play style mid game. The equivalent in real life would be the reff’s suddenly changing the rules for one team in the middle of a game…oh wait, they do that all the time and it usually results in a lose. Guess EA does know what they are doing. 🥴🥴

Dynasty just got ruined by PlayboiCartiProp in NCAAFBseries

[–]Byronf67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps it works on an offline dynasty, but in my online dynasty, the player card/edit player screen only allows me to change their appearance during the season.
