How to Throw a Bullet Pass in EA Sports College Football 25: A Step-by-Step Guide

EA Sports College Football 25 was released on July 19 after a 10-year hiatus. The game features new gameplay mechanics that players are continuing to master.

The quick pace of college football that is replicated in the game makes learning the passing mechanics essential for players. This includes the bullet pass to get the ball from your quarterback to your receiver as quickly as possible.

Here is a detailed guide to perfecting the bullet pass in EA Sports College Football 25.

How to throw a bullet pass in College Football 25

To throw a bullet pass in College Football 25, snap the ball and hold down the button corresponding to the receiver you want to target. When using the revamped passing system, hold down the receiver button and release it just before the meter gets to the yellow line.

If you hold the button too long, you will put more velocity on the ball and increase the risk of having an inaccurate throw. Timing is most important for bullet passes when using the revamped passing system compared to lob or touch passes.

What is the ideal situation to throw a bullet pass in College Football 25?

A bullet pass will be best utilized when you want the quarterback to get the ball to the receiver quickly, with the highest possible velocity on the ball.

Bullet passes are most effective in short or medium-range throws down the field, allowing the quarterback to put the ball directly on the receiver or lead him up the field.

Screen plays can also be a good situation to utilize it as you attempt to quickly get the ball to the intended target so he can begin running up the field.

You can also use the bullet pass when you are running short of time on the clock. It will allow shorter plays, and save a couple of seconds after each snap.

How Does the Bullet Pass Differ from Other Pass Types in College Football 25?

The bullet pass is one of three pass types included in the game along with lob passes and touch passes. The other two passes add more loft to the ball, allowing it to hang in the air longer.

A lob pass is done by quickly tapping the button of the receiver you'd like to target. This will put the most lift on the ball as possible and allow you to float the ball over the top of the defensive backs. Lob passes are best used for deep throws down the field when your receiver creates separation from the defender.

A touch pass will allow you to throw with a velocity that is between a lob and a bullet pass. It will put a slight float on the ball and is best used when trying to throw over linebackers and under defensive backs. It can help lead your receiver to an open area to make a catch. To make a touch pass, hold the receiver button briefly and release it once the meter is filled halfway.
