Never heard of College Football 25 sliders? Be prepared for a complete transformation from your College Football 25 experience.

Find out how to do it yourself in GR’s College Football 25 sliders guide.

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.

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.
