Using sliders to customize your gameplay experience is pretty simple. Head to the main menu, then hover over the top bar to Settings. Select Game Settings, then map the headings in the list below to the tabs in the horizontal menu bar.
If a value isn’t listed here, leave it at the default. For example, special teams is challenging enough, especially on away games, so all Player Skill settings for kicking and scoring will remain at 50. Although that element of the game is also covered in our College Football 25 tips guide.
