All CampusIQ gameplay features in EA Sports College Football 25

CampusIQ is a collection of gameplay features that will dictate the performance of EA Sports College Football 25. These factors will go beyond the realm of cosmetic elements, as they directly and indirectly determine your chances of success and failure. They include:

  • Wear and Tear
  • Player Abilities
  • Homefield Advantage
  • Unique Playbooks

Here are the brief explanations of the four systems as disclosed by EA Sports.

Wear and Tear: Your players won’t be Terminators, and every hit will have an impact on them. This will make it crucial to strategically manage your subs to ensure that the team keeps performing at the highest level. Leave someone on the field for a long time, and they might run out of gas when trying to get the final touchdown.

Player abilities: In EA Sports College Football 25, there will be physical and mental abilities. The physical skills will focus on direct gameplay elements like tackles, spring, and more. Mental abilities will attach certain positive and negative traits, which will have a telling impact on gameplay.

Homefield advantage: “Home Sweet Home” has never been more accurate, as playing in your home stadium will provide certain advantages. These advantages could benefit your players while providing certain negative perks for your opponents. There will be 134 stadiums for players to choose from.

Unique playbooks: Each team will have a host of different options for you to choose from. Some of them will provide situational advantages, and EA Sports has also revamped the controls as part of CampusIQ to make variations in the gameplay.

EA Sports College Football 25 is now available for pre-order on the current-gen consoles Xbox and PlayStation. Players can choose between the Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions, the latter of which comes with several additional benefits, including three days of early access.
