The best College Football 25 sliders and how to use them
Upgrade both realism and difficulty with your College Football 25 sliders guide
College Football 25 sliders are the game-changer you've never heard of. The return of EA's NCAA series, rebranded as College Football 25, already plays exceptionally – but with a few tweaks you can make it both tougher, and more realistic. Numerous parameters are editable, such as player speed, blocking and the frequency at which penalties are called. Find out how to do it yourself, and all the key numbers you need, in GR’s College Football 25 sliders guide.
How to input College Football 25 sliders
Using Sliders to tweak your gameplay experience is fairly straightforward. Jump into the main menu, then move your way across the top bar to Settings. Select Game Settings, then match the headings on the list below to the tabs in the horizontal menu bar.
If a value isn’t listed here, keep it at default. For instance, special teams are challenging enough as it is, especially during road matches, so all Player Skill settings for kicking and punting stay at 50. Although that element of the game is also covered in our College Football 25 tips guide.
Best College Football 25 sliders for realism
Okay, here we go. The best College Football 25 sliders below should produce realistic stats, but also give you a significant gameplay challenge, and feel authentic in terms of match flow. For example, you’ll see fewer interceptions than on default settings, but more fumbles.
Naturally, controlling anyone on the College Football 25 best teams and College Football 25 best players list is going to give you a significant advantage, whichever sliders you use.

College Football 25 sliders credits
I’ve been playing the game non-stop to put together our College Football 25 Recruiting guide and review, and tailor the sliders above. But I didn’t start from scratch: I’ve also found other user-made slider sets to be useful. To that end, I need to credit canes21 and BarflytheOwl at Operation Sports and for submitting their findings to the wider world.

I'm GamesRadar's sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
