All College Football 25 difficulty modes explained

EA Sports College Football 25 is now available on early access, and the ability to choose between diไfferent match difficulty settings is handy for those just jumping in.

After roughly a decade, a new college football video game has been released. Whether you’re playing the casual exhibition matches or the ultra-competitive Ultimate Team mode, you can tweak the difficulty of the matches (with few exceptions). Let’s take a look at all available options and what they have to offer.

College Football 25 difficulty modes explained

There are four options of game difficult🐽y to choose from.

• Freshman
• Varsity
• All-American
• Heisman

Freshman is the easiest difficulty of College Football 25, while Heisman provides the hardest challenge to players. A question often arises—which is the best difficulty? Unfortunately, there’s no such thing, but I believe there are certain factors to consider that will help you choose the correct game difficulty settings.

• Freshman—This difficulty is for pure beginners who are new to football games. Since it is the easiest difficulty out of four, it offers players the time and room to learn the controls and understand the fundamentals of the game. This difficulty mode will feel boring for veterans, and they should avoid it.
• Varsity – While Varsity isn’t as easy as Freshman, it’s still pretty manageable. The AI will behave predictably, and this should be the go-to difficulty for beginners after spending a while on Freshman.
• All-American – If you’ve prior experience with the Madden NFL franchise, this is a good starting point. As you’re already aware of how the fundamentals work, this mode should provide a good test. Note that some of the mechanics in this game are different, so give yourself some time to learn them.
• Heisman – The most challenging difficulty, Heisman is best suited for those who regularly play the competitive modes in games. Given that College Football 25 is a new game, it’s best to start at All-American before gradually moving on to Heisman.

How to change difficulty in College Football 25?

When you start the game for the first time, you’ll have to choose one of the four difficulty modes. Don’t worry – even if you make a wrong choice, you can change it later.

• From the main menu, go to “Settings.”
• Go to “Game Options”
• Scroll down to find “Skill Level.”
• Select your choice, and go back.

Do note that the difficulty level of your choice is applicable in all games, barring those where you’re playing against other human opponents.
