How to throw a touch pass in College Football 25? 5 tips for throwing Like a Pro

EA Sports College Football 25 made its official release on Friday after early access to the game began on Monday. This highly anticipated game is the first college football game made by EA Sports since 2013.

The new game features new gameplay mechanics that players have already begun mastering. One of the biggest gameplay changes includes the new passing systems.

What is the touch pass mechanic in College Football 25?

A touch pass is a style of throw with a velocity that falls between a bullet pass and a lob pass. It puts a slight loft on the ball while still putting some speed on the pass. It can be perfectly utilized to throw into tight windows while still putting over the defender in pass coverage.

After the snap, identify which receiver you'd like to target with the pass and hold down the button corresponding to that receiver for around half a second. If the button is held too long, it will trigger a bullet pass. If not held long enough, it will force a lob pass with more arc and less power.

5 advanced tips for throwing a touch pass in College Football 25

#1 Practice

There is no shame in hitting the practice field to perfect the timing of a touch pass. It can be tricky to master the passing mechanics during live games with defenders swarming you. Working on your passing in the game's practice mode will allow you to focus solely on your timing and how to throw the perfect touch pass.

#2 Watch the meter

Not all passing styles in College Football 25 have a passing meter that appears on screen when throwing a pass. But if you choose to use a passing style that includes a meter, make sure to watch it while holding down the button of the targeted receiver.

Watching the meter will help you visualize exactly when you need to release the button to throw a touch pass.

#3 Try different passing styles

There are four different passing styles in the game: classic, placement, accuracy, and revamped.

If you're having difficulty timing your touch pass, you can always switch to a different passing style to find one that works. Simply navigate to the Settings menu, toggle to Game Settings, and scroll down until you find the Passing Mechanics category.

#4 Identify the best situations to execute a touch pass

Touch passes are most effective in the correct situations. There are times where you may want to use a lob pass to put more of a touch on the ball and float it over the secondary into an open area for your receiver.

Other times, you may want to get the ball quickly to a receiver in a tight window. In that situation, a bullet pass would be more effective than a touch pass.

#5 Find the correct QB

Quarterbacks with a higher rating in the passing categories will be able to give you more power and accuracy on touch passes.

If you have a quarterback that fits more in a read option system, they may not be the best to use in the game to take advantage of the touch pass.

Having the right quarterback for your playstyle is vital to leading your team down the field and putting up points on the board.
