Yet, one of the earliest tutorial objectives in the game requires you to perform touch passes successfully. You might not get any instructions for it, but it turns out, it’s really more simple than you’d think.

What is a touch pass in College Football 25

In simple words, a touch pass is somewhere between a bullet pass and the more advanced lob pass. It’s the middle spot in both speed and air-time, not quite zipping into the receiver’s hands, but not airing it out for a high grab either.

How to perform a touch pass in College Football 25

The controls for performing a touch pass is pretty much the same across all control layouts. You press the icon button of your receiver, and the main challenge is to choose the correct power. Let off the button too early, and you end up performing a lobbed pass. Keep the button pressed for too long, and you throw a bullet pass.

Typically, I try to lift off the button when the power is between one-third and two-thirds filled. In simpler words, charge it up about a halfway or so, and you’ll throw a touch pass.

Do note that this pass will be easier to perform in Revamped and Placement-Accuracy passing schemes. In Placement passing, the power bar has to be filled till three-fourths. In classic, it’s very difficult to perform a touch pass as there’s no power meter to begin with. (My recommendation – just go with Revamped passing as it will make your life a lot easier.)

I usually go with a touch pass only in certain situations when a defense doesn’t surround my receiver, but he isn’t also making a forward run. It offers just that extra bit of time for the receiver to grab the ball in a secured fashion.
