EA Sports College Football 25 brings back the highly anticipated Dynasty mode, offering players numerous new features and enhancements. In today’s deep dive, we’ll focus on Online Dynasty mode, the new 12-team College Football Playoff, recruiting system, transfer portal, and extensive customization options to make your program truly unique.
The 2024 season marks the debut of the new 12-team College Football Playoff, and you’ll be able to experience it first in the game, months before it happens in real life. You can be the first coach to lead your school through this expanded playoff system and hoist the College Football Playoff trophy.
Recruiting is the lifeblood of college football, and managing your Dynasty roster has never been more crucial. Evaluate your team’s needs and opportunities for talent upgrades at the start of each season. Over 3,500 high school recruits are generated annually from across the country, with hotspots like South Florida and Metro Atlanta producing top-tier talent. Research and find recruits that fit your program, considering 14 different pitch grades such as proximity to home, playing time, and brand exposure.
Some players have deal-breaker requirements, and if your program cannot meet them, the recruit will lock you out. These deal-breakers also drive players’ decisions to enter the transfer portal. Monitor at-risk players and make a final effort to convince them to stay.
Track your recruits as they narrow down their top schools. Pitch your program to gain more interest and set up visits when the timing is right. Staying in a recruit’s top 10, then 8, then 5, and finally the top 3 is crucial. Plan strategic visits, like pairing a quarterback and wide receiver visit, to enhance their experience.
The transfer portal is essential for rounding out your roster with talent you couldn’t land through traditional recruiting. Add portal prospects to your board and expect quick decisions, as transfers have a shorter timeline to find a new home.
Conference realignment is a hot topic in college football, and with custom conferences in Dynasty mode, you have full control. Create a 20-team super conference or revert to traditional alignments. Customize conference size, membership, and rules, including divisions and more.
Choose your team wisely. Start with a highly ranked team and aim for repeat recruiting and playoff success, or build from the ground up with a smaller program. You can start as an offensive or defensive coordinator and climb the ranks to head coach or take over a program immediately.
The coaching carousel is a significant part of your journey. Field offers from other programs and manage your coordinator positions. If one of your staff takes a job elsewhere or you decide to make changes, use the carousel to find replacements. Building your staff wisely is crucial, as their abilities will impact your program’s success.
EA Sports College Football 25 offers unprecedented customization and strategic depth. From managing your recruiting board and navigating the transfer portal to customizing your conferences and staff, the decisions you make will shape your program’s success.
Make it game day every day this season by pre-ordering the MVP bundle. With all these features and more, Dynasty mode in EA Sports College Football 25 promises an immersive and dynamic college football experience.
