CFB 25, or College Football 25, is a video game with college football as its theme. Once it came out, it was sought after by quite a lot of fans because of its special feature of college students as main Players.

As Latest Version, CFB 25 not only inherits the good foundation of the game before but also makes modifications and updates to the shortcomings:

For example, the overall picture of the game is more detailed and high-definition, and Cutscenes are richer and more interesting.

On the other hand, some interesting new content has been added. If you understand them, you will surely have a better experience of EA CFB 25. For example, Player Progression.

As a more holistic system, Player Progression does not provide you with Mechanism to fully control your Players in the game. And because Players in CFB 25 are college students, their development and changes are more random than regular professional athletes.

Therefore, Player Progression can bring you more unpredictable fun when managing Players. In order to help you get this fun experience efficiently, here are 5 tips for using Player Progression in the game.

1. Development Trait

In Player Progression, Gems usually represent Development Trait Ranges of a Player. The better Player’s Development Trait, the more XP he can accumulate on Court, and the more likely he is to make more progress in OffSeason. It often determines the upper limit of Player’s Development.

Different Development Traits correspond to different Gems:

• Normal - The lowest Level of Development Trait, even no Gems. XP you can get at this Level is pitiful.
• Impact - Marked by Red gems, you can get more conventional XP
• Star - Represented by green gems, it is a relatively good Development Trait
• Elite - A very rare Development Trait. Although there is no specific corresponding Gem, Elite itself is extremely rare.

There is no doubt that Gems can help you better understand Development Traits of Players, to plan a suitable development path for them.

If you want to use Gem to understand Development Traits of Players, you can not only let them tell you through Player visit after having Coaching Ability, but also check it when Signing Day comes. After that, you can check it at any time in Player Card.

2. Skill Caps

It can be said that Skill Caps and Development Traits together constitute the decisive factors affecting Player’s upper limit. If one of your Players has Skill Caps in the game, you can see it in the gray box on the right side of his Player Card.

Skill Caps are inherent, but if you have Coaching Ability, you can use it to change Player’s Skill Caps:

• In CEO Tree, you can increase Skill Caps of all senior athletes by one point.
• In Architect Tree, there is a chance to randomly increase Skill Cap of a certain attribute for Players in a specific position when you level up.

And when you win Conference or National Title in Architect Tree, there is also a chance to increase Player’s best Skill Cap.

3. Mental Abilities

Mental Abilities are a special Mechanism in Player Progression. They cannot be improved by any action you take in the game, nor can they be obtained in any way. They are a fixed static value.

No matter what situation your Player’s Mental Abilities are at the beginning, whether they are good or bad, they will not change afterwards. It can be seen that, in CFB 25, Player’s innate situation is also an important reference for selection.

4. Physical Abilities And Ratings

In College Football 25, you can get better Physical Abilities and higher Ratings by using EA Sports College Football 25 Coins.

When you browse Skill Categories in the game, you will find that each upgrade requires Coins. This is why most Players rarely upgrade them.

You already know that Mental Abilities cannot be artificially improved in CFB 25. Therefore, although the enhancement of Physical Abilities and Ratings requires some Coins, the benefits that come with it must be considerable.

5. How To Get XP?

As mentioned above, XP plays a vital role in NCAA 25. So how to get as much XP as possible is undoubtedly one of the major topics for players.

XP is usually obtained by Players during OffSeason, and the amount of XP obtained is determined by the accumulated data in previous Season and Player’s Coaching Ability.

You can also accumulate Coaching Abilities through your existing Coaches. Coaching Abilities that can affect XP are mainly:

• Motivator Tree: If another Player at that Position is selected in the first 3 rounds, you will get extra XP for a specific Position. In addition, you can also get more XP for a specific Position.
• Architect Tree: Specific Positions can get extra XP through in-game goals, or every 3 consecutive wins.
• Talent Developer Tree: This Ability allows Starting Player at a certain Position to gain XP faster, or low-rated Player at a certain Position to improve faster.
