00:00 Hey everyone, Kirk Herbstreet here and welcome to the official EA Sports College Football 25
00:05 Gameplay Deep Dive. Today's focus is on the exciting new Campus IQ gameplay feature set,
00:11 which includes the new wear and tear system, player abilities, home field advantage,
00:17 unique playbooks, and a host of new mechanics that deliver the explosive fast-paced gameplay
00:24 unique to college football. Let's get into it. The new wear and tear system changes how you
00:30 approach every snap. Wear and tear is a progressive player health system that prioritizes strategic
00:38 substitutions and diverse play calling to keep your players healthy. With wear and tear, every
00:44 hit matters, but not all hits have the same impact, and a single hit, like a blow to a quarterback's
00:50 throwing arm, can change everything, just like it can in real life. Every hit scales differently
00:56 and will have unique effects on a player's performance as damage and fatigue add up over
01:01 the course of a game. Managing wear and tear is critical to your team's success, both in a single
01:08 game and over the course of a season. In EA Sports College Football 25, we're introducing both mental
01:15 and physical player abilities that help separate highly skilled players from untested freshmen.
01:21 In contrast to the pros where superstar talent is generally balanced across the league, the player
01:27 abilities in college were designed to showcase the overall discrepancy in player and team skill
01:34 levels. Physical abilities boost attributes like breaking tackles, or can provide protection from
01:40 wear and tear. Mental abilities enhance intangible traits like leadership, pre-snap clarity at the
01:46 line of scrimmage, and staying calm under pressure. Here you can see the stadium pulse meter is maxed
01:53 out, but the visiting quarterback does not have the mental ability headstrong, which provides
01:59 resistance to distractions. The visiting quarterback here does have headstrong active, so he can see the
02:05 field more clearly and will be less prone to mistakes for this play. A player can have up to
02:11 eight abilities, and they can scale in effectiveness, providing situational advantages throughout a game
02:17 that ignite the dynamic and unpredictable moments that make college football so exciting.
02:23 From Tiger Stadium to Happy Valley, we're pumping the sights and sounds of the most iconic and
02:30 daunting home field environments right into your living room. And with Home Field Advantage, the
02:35 host team has the upper hand. As the visiting team, you'll face various degrees of home field
02:41 advantages impacting confidence and composure levels, on-field performance, and more. Home
02:47 Field Advantage will disorient players with lower composure levels more than it will for the
02:53 level-headed players. Decisions like audibles and hot routes will become more difficult because
02:59 these stadiums will be rocky, so it's more important than ever to keep your team in manageable down and
03:06 distance situations. With 134 FBS teams to choose from in EA Sports College Football 25, the wide
03:14 range of play styles is something you can't experience anywhere else. From wide splits in
03:20 Oklahoma to the triple option at Air Force to Michigan's dominant ground game, the playbook
03:26 variety makes for unique matchups every game. Fake out your rivals with new user reverse handoffs,
03:33 explore the new option game, and other new trick plays. With more teams throwing the ball all over
03:40 the field, College Football 25's revamped passing mechanic adds control and variation to every
03:47 dropback. To expand player variation at quarterback, we focused on tuning situational throws
03:54 and an array of new trajectories that will provide more passing control with a timed button press.
04:00 Other new gameplay mechanics will give you more control before and after the snap. Adjust the
04:07 length of your primary route with custom stems, switch players directionally with the new switch
04:13 stick for post-snap control, master the new kicking meter, and call a number of new hot
04:18 routes at the line. For more on gameplay and playbooks, check out the Campus Huddle blog.
