How To Play College Football 25 With Friends

WhileCollege Football 25is only available on consoles, the game is crossplay compatible, so you won’t be restricted to only playing friends on the same console. With this in mind, there are two ways you’re able to connect with your friends in the game, depending on whether you’re playing on the same console or not.

If you both have the same console, players can simplygo to the Game Modes section of the main menu and select Play A Friend, which will prompt you to select your friend from your console friend’s list. This is an unranked match, and once you select the person you wish to play with, you can send them an invite to join you in a match. If you really want to make it tough for your friend, then playing as the home team in a rivalry match will earn youthe Stadium Pulse bonus.
