Everything we know about abilities in EA Sports College Football 25
Player abilities are included in the game to help separate college football's gap between elite players and the lower overall-rated players. Fans of recent games in EA Sports' Madden NFL series will be familiar with abilities since their introduction in Madden NFL 20.

However, there are a few differences between the ability system in Madden and this game. The 80 in-game player abilities in EA Sports College Football 25 will be split into two categories: mental and physical.
Both categories of mental and physical abilities will also be split into bronze, silver, gold and platinum tiers. Each ability provides a situational boost, with no tier of a specific ability guaranteeing a successful outcome.
Each player is allowed up to five physical abilities at a given time, which will be solely determined based on the individual player's archetype and build. The mental abilities a player is allowed to have depend on their position.
Coach abilities with gameplay effects will also be included in this year's version of the game. Coach abilities can have an impact on features like player confidence and composure, the program's home field advantage and each team's specific play styles.
According to the EA website, they plan to expand the coaching abilities during their Dynasty deep dive, which will occur at a later date.
