After over 10 years of waiting, NCCA football finally returns with the release of EA Sports College Football 25. The game has plenty of new features and modes to experiment with, as well as returning fan favorites like Road to Glory, which once again factors academic success into playing time. In fact, doing well in school and maintaining a high-enough GPA even allows you to skip your senior-year studies altogether.
How to skip Senior Year academics
At the beginning of your freshman year, a notification pops up stating that your student-athlete can essentially graduate early if they maintain a good Grade Point Average. The only criteria required to accomplish this is to average a 3.8 GPA across your first three years.
Skipping your senior-year academic requirements allows you to focus on other aspects that influence how you play and improve. So, instead of using the limited energy points you have on academics, they can be used to raise training (XP), health, brand, or leadership.
Maintaining a 3.8 GPA
Keeping a 3.8 GPA in EA Sports College Football 25 is, thankfully, a bit easier than accomplishing the same feat in real life. Just make sure you put at least one energy point into studies each week leading up to your exams, and always pick the highest study option when given cell-phone scenarios.
If you want to be a bit on the safe side, you can allocate more energy points into studying on some weeks. It is definitely worth putting more into studying than brand, which doesn’t have as much of an impact on your performance.
Senior year graduate
Once you make it to your senior year after maintaining a 3.8 GPA, the study section of your Weekly Agenda will say Graduated. This means you can now focus all of your energy points on the sections that will upgrade your athlete faster.
