Overview
With Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) taking over college football, the rosters in CFB 25 Coins the game have gotten as good as they can get. EA did a fantastic job making the players look as close to their actual selves as possible without using motion capture for every player on the 135 rosters of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
Overall, the graphics look tremendous. EA upgraded the game to 4K for the next gen consoles where NCAA 14 peaked at 1080p. The Stadiums also look great, though we might’ve preferred to see The Corps of Cadets in Dress Gray — at least for Army-Navy.
What can you do?
Commentary offers a wide range of voices from Jesse Palmer to Reese Davis. There are even different potential commentators for each game to provide a feel for the significance of the game based on the broadcast team. That by itself is incredible.
Bottom line, if you like to run the ball, you will like this game. There are a lot of great running schemes. Happily, the service academies are each modeled differently, and especially with Army, you can rack up a lot of rushing yards in a short amount of time if you know what you’re doing.
First Tip: When playing as a service academy, do not allow yourself to get fixated on a handful of plays that you know how to run. Finding success with the triple-option is about keeping your opponent off-balance. You won’t get there using a tiny fraction of the playbook.
Designed Runs
Everybody who plays the option wants to run a pitch play for a big gain. However, if you’re new to Army Football, we think you might want to start with some designed runs. Army’s playbook offers plenty, and in fact, the team uses them in real life for the same reasons that new gamers might want to start with them.
They simplify reads in the offense.
The Fullback Dive is Army’s staple offensive play. From there, look to add in Quarterback Zone runs, the Quarterback Follow, Fullback and Quarterback Counters, the Rocket Sweep, and the Reverse. With these plays, you’ll be able to attack the defense running inside and outside, both to the field and to the boundary. Add in an occasional downfield passing play, and you’ve got most of an effective service academy offense.
In reality, Army has become much less of an option team over the years and much more of a straight-up power running team. These designed runs have therefore become increasingly important to the team’s success — and to CFB 25 Coins for sale yours when you’re playing as the Black Knights.
