How to Kick in College Football 25

The new kicking system in College Football 25 might seem tricky at first, but it’s pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. Here’s what you need to know:

Aiming Your Kick

First, use the left stick to aim your kick. Point the arrow where you want the ball to go. Be careful not to aim too far left or right or you might shank it.

Starting the Kick

Press X on PlayStation or A on Xbox to start the kick. A meter will appear at the bottom of the screen. Watch for the moving football icon and try to stop it in the green center area.

Powering Up

Once you’ve hit the center keep holding the button. You’ll see a power meter start to fill up. Let go when it reaches the green area near the top. Don’t hold too long or you’ll overpower the kick.

Practice Makes Perfect

The new system takes some getting used to. Try practicing how to kick in Play Now mode or Ultimate Team Challenges before jumping into important games.

Note: Don’t forget to check the wind direction, especially for long-field goals. Adjust your aim to account for it.
