How’s it going, fellow players? Here I am with some pro tips to help you improve your game instantly and win more games in College Football 25.

I will break down the best College Football tips and tricks so that you can use the best strategies to dominate and beat your opponents. From explosive offensive plays to tight defenses, these tips will take your gameplay to the next level! Let’s get started!

1. Zone Drops

For this first tip, we will cover how to use Zone Drops. This tip is useful when you want to defend a Corner route or Crossing routes through the middle of the field to make Zone Drops.

Go to Coaching Adjustments in the play calling menu by pressing the right stick and scroll down until you see Zone Drops. This adjustment allows you to change the depth at which flat curl flats or hooks will drop back.

So if you drop your flats at 25 yards, the light blue flat zones will drop back to the 25 yard depth on the kickoff. If you leave Zone Drops at the default settings, the zone will follow the normal zone assignments since we are not assigning them to any specific Zone Drop.

Now I will show you how to use Zone Drops to defend the best Corner route in the game. One of the most effective ways to stop Corner route is to use a defense called Double Mable. Don’t forget to invest more NCAA 25 Coins in your running backs if you want to get better at this play!

Double Mable is a defense that locks down the sidelines. On either side of the field you have one flat guarding the short flat area, another flat guarding the deep sidelines using the zone drop adjustment, the user guarding the middle of the field, and two deep safeties helping out.

To create a Double Mable defense, go to Coaching Adjustments and place your curl flats at 30 yards, leaving the rest of the zones at the default settings. 25 to 30 yard zone drop curl flats are great for defending deep Corner routes. 20 yard curl flats are great for defending short Corner routes.

With Zone Drops set, select a Cover 2 Zone Defense in the game, use the linebacker with a midfield read, and press Y or Triangle and the right stick push down to change your Cloud Flat to a Hard Flat. Then have both hook curl defenders use curl flats.

Now, if the opponent tries to attack the sideline with a popular route concept, you will see that the flat zone will occupy the flat. The deep half will defend the streak, and the 30 yard curl flat will run with Corner route and completely lock it down.

Double Mable also works well against deep Crossing routes. In this play, the offense has the streak and flat on one side, and then the deep crosser and a dig on the other side.

When using Double Mable, you will see that as the user, if you are defending the crosser in the middle of the field, the curl flat will defend the deep crosser once the deep crosser gets close enough to the sideline. So this is a great way to bait the opponent into intercepting.

2. Custom Route Stems

For the second tip, we will cover Custom Route Stems and how it can make your offense unstoppable.

Custom Route Stems allow you to adjust the length of specific routes like corners, post ins, outs, and more. You do this by pressing Y or Triangle, then pressing the receiver icon you want to adjust, and finally holding LB or L1 and moving the left stick up or down depending on how long or short you want your route to be.

Using this mechanic correctly can help you beat man coverage and zone coverage more easily. For example, against a zone coverage like Cover 3, notice the route combination behind, with the tight end in the corner and the running back on the flat.

If we run this play with the tight end corner breaking around 10 to 12 yards, you’ll see that deep third will defend the corner because the depth of the route allows the deep zone to defend the receiver.

But with this method, we can take the exact same concept, only this time we customize Corner route to break around 3 to 5 yards. You’ll see that there’s a vast window to throw the ball under the deep zone because we customized the corner route to not give the deep zone a chance to defend it.

You can also use Custom Route to beat man coverage. Typically, some routes that beat man coverage are slant drags, which are even well done in this year’s routes. Likewise, post and corners are also very good man beating routes, especially when you customize routes to intercept them all the way down.

When the ball is snapped, you’ll see that the receiver’s quick cut will help them get a lot of separation, allowing for an easy throw. You’ll see that the custom route stemmed post will do almost the same thing, just to the middle of the field.

3. Juke Moves

Third is how to use the best Juke Moves in College Football 25.

The best Juke is Spin Move, which allows you to make your opponent fumble and change direction at a rapid pace. Hold down the right trigger and press B or Circle to spin. You’ll notice that when spinning without holding down the right trigger, Spin Move will not make any progress and will not be as fast, so you won’t be able to make anyone fumble. So always hold down the right trigger when doing a Juke.

The second best Juke is Basic Juke, which is where the player side shuffles left or right. To do this, hold down the right trigger like we did for Spin Move, then flick the right stick left to do a left Juke or right to do a right Juke.

One of the best ways to use these Juke Moves to make your opponent miss is to make sure you are running at an angle towards the left or right corner of the end zone. For example, in this play I was running towards the left corner of the end zone and when I saw the defender coming straight over to make the tackle, I gave myself a great angle to make the defender miss while continuing to run up the field after Juke.

This strategy can make it easier to disengage from an opponent’s tackle than running straight into the defender.

4. Slowing Down The Quarterback Scramble

For the fourth, we will discuss how to slow down a scrambling quarterback.

In the current game, QB contains the position where you can double tap RB or R1 to have your D-Ends keep QB in the pocket which doesn’t work, so one of the best ways to slow down a quarterback scramble is to have QB watch your linebacker or defensive lineman.

Since QB spies will mirror wherever the quarterback goes, you can absolutely put your linebackers on QB spies. Double-tap the right side on D-Pad and select the linebacker you want to put on QB spies, then flick the right stick to the left. If you want D-ends to deal with QB spies, double-tap the left side of D pad. Select D-end you want to adjust, then flick the right stick to the left to adjust QB spies.

Here’s a pro tip: if you want to send out QB spies to pounce on QB, you can press the right stick, which will send out the nearest QB spies to pounce on QB.

5. Pocket Presence

The fifth point is Pocket Presence. Many people tend to exit the pocket as soon as the ball is snapped. What many don’t know is that taking a few steps back will cause D-ends to come off quicker because you are giving them an easy angle to sack you. Not only will this reduce the time you have to throw the ball, but it will also take longer for the ball to get into the receiver’s hands.

When you do this, the ball is thrown because you are far from the line of scrimmage, and the longer the ball is in the air, the more time the defense has to react and make a move on the ball. So instead of taking a few steps back on the snap, try to stay in the pocket and practice moving up.

This will help your O-line block better and longer, and allow your deep routes to develop so you can throw lasers down the field while not letting the defense make a move on the ball.
