Alright, folks, let’s dive into how I figured out player substitutions in College Football 25. It wasn’t immediately obvious, I gotta admit, but after some fiddling around, I got it down.
Figuring Out the Basics
First things first, I jumped into a Play Now game. I figured that’d be the easiest way to experiment without messing up any Dynasty or Road to Glory progress. I picked two teams I didn’t care about – you know, just for testing purposes.
Once the game started, I paused it. My initial instinct was to look for something labeled “substitution” right there on the pause menu. Nope. Nothing. So, I started poking around.
Finding the Right Menu
I noticed an option called “Depth Chart”. Bingo! That sounded promising. I clicked on it, and sure enough, there was a list of all the players, organized by position. It showed the starter and the backups.
Making the Changes
Now, here’s where it got a little tricky. At first, I tried just clicking on the backup player’s name, thinking it would magically put them in. Nope, that didn’t work. I realized I had to actually select the starter first, and THEN select the backup. It’s like swapping them out, not just clicking them in.
- Step 1: I selected the player currently on the field (the starter).
- Step 2: I then selected the player I wanted to bring in (the backup).
Then there’s also pre-snap,I pressed R2 to bring up,and I made the change.
And boom! The substitution was made. I saw the backup player run onto the field during the next play. Success!
Other Stuff I Noticed
While messing around, I also noticed a few other things:
- You can make substitutions for pretty much any position, from quarterback to kicker.
- I found out i can press R2 before the snap.
- The depth chart screen also shows player ratings, so you can easily see who’s the best option at each position.
So yeah, that’s how I figured out substitutions in College Football 25. It’s not super intuitive at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty straightforward. Just remember: Depth Chart, select the starter, then select the backup. You’re good to go!
