Creating and Managing Lineups

To create a new lineup:

  • Select Change Active Lineup.
  • You can activate, delete, or create new lineups by using the options provided (Triangle/Y to create a new lineup).

Specialist Screen

The specialist screen allows you to fine-tune your team by setting up players for specific roles:

  • Third Down Running Back: Typically used in passing formations.
  • Power Back: Used in under-center formations.
  • Slot Wide Receiver: Primary receiver in the slot.
  • Sub Linebacker: Crucial for user control in certain defensive formations.

This screen overrides your standard lineup in certain situations, ensuring that the best-suited players are on the field.

Scheme and Team Chemistries

Scheme Chemistry

Scheme chemistry boosts player performance based on their fit within your playbook. Each player has a scheme chemistry attribute that can be optimized to match your overall strategy.

Team Chemistry

Team chemistry provides additional boosts to players from the same school. You can assign any team chemistry to any player, which allows for greater flexibility in building your team. To change a player’s team chemistry:

  1. Go to the player’s upgrade tab.
  2. Spend the required training to unlock the team chemistry bucket.
  3. Assign the desired team chemistry.

Abilities and Training

Unlocking Abilities

Players can have various abilities that enhance their performance. To unlock and assign abilities:

  1. Spend training points to unlock ability buckets.
  2. Choose abilities based on player attributes and team needs.

Managing Ability Points

You are allowed eight ability points on both offense and defense. Abilities must be activated in the lineup screen to take effect in games.

Training Points

Training points are essential for unlocking abilities and changing team chemistries. Quick selling items you no longer need is an efficient way to gather training points.

Strategy and Visuals

Playbooks and Strategy Items

Selecting the right playbook for your team’s strengths is crucial. Strategy items can further boost your team’s performance and are obtainable through solo challenges and field passes.

Visuals

Customize your team’s appearance by selecting home and away uniforms, stadiums, and coaches. While coaches currently do not provide additional boosts, they add a personal touch to your team’s identity.

Conclusion

Building the perfect lineup in College Football 25 Ultimate Team involves strategic roster management, careful selection of abilities, and optimizing chemistries. Whether you are a newcomer or an experienced player, following these tips will help you create a team capable of dominating the field.
