In EA College Football 25, everything matters when trying to win, even the weather conditions. That's why EA College Football 25 will include several weather-related gameplay changes to create a more immersive experience. Weather has been in EA Sports games for a long time now. But it seems College Football 25 will try to make it more significant than ever before. Let's learn how the new weather mechanics aims to make College Football 25 more realistic.
How Does Weather Affect College Football 25 Gameplay?
EA Sports College Football 25's improved weather system will affect several conditions of a game. This includes affected player movement, passing, pass accuracy, and throw power depending on the weather. While you're sure to play your fair share of games on beautiful days, you'll definitely find yourself playing in the snow or rain.
In terms of movement, players will have more difficulty cutting and planting their feet. Expect more players to slip around, especially in rainy conditions.
For passing, severe weather can affect even the best of QBs. Between pass accuracy and throw power, you'll need to be more careful when throwing in the rain. Depending on the weather, it may be optimal to focus on a run-heavy approach. But then you'll also need to be wary of the game's Wear & Tear system.
Several other things have increased chances of happening due to the weather in EA College Football 25. For example, fumbles and drop rates will increase, giving defenders more opportunities to ball out and make a play. However, you can just hold R1/RB to protect the ball and reduce the risk of fumbles.
But weather can also affect defense, too. Tackling and diving towards players becomes more challenging. You may think you have a tackle locked down, only for the rain to cause your player to slip. Therefore, you need to play smarter overall in harsher conditions. That goes for both sides of the ball.
And of course, weather will impact special teams performances. From kick power to kick accuracy, converting field goals will be much more difficult in harsher conditions. The same applies for punts and kickoffs, too. Plus, as a punt returner, you may want to take more caution during your returns. Overall, weather affects a lot of thing in EA College Football 25.
Overall, that's everything you need to know about Weather in EA College Football 25. We look forward to seeing if it will actually play as big of an impact as the game suggests. Regardless, we appreciate EA Sports' attempt to make the game more immersive in several ways. We'll see if that effort pays off when College Football 25 hits store shelves this summer.
