College Football 25 Road To Glory - First Game! Ep. 1

Introduction

Welcome to the first-ever college football gameplay on my channel! Today, we start the much-anticipated "Road to Glory" series. Given the options to choose between Elite, Blue Chip Contributor, or Underdog, I decided to go with Elite for my first run, aiming to be a starter from the get-go.

Character Creation

I’ve always enjoyed playing as a cornerback, so I recreated myself in the game. I had to choose between being a slot cornerback, man-to-man cornerback, or zone cornerback. Man-to-man seemed like the best choice, given its stats and versatility.

Here’s a quick look at my player:

• Name: Can't Stop Cooking
• Height: 5'10"
• Appearance: Arm sleeve, natural look, suitable to play in multiple positions like safety, linebacker, or wide receiver.

Team Selection

I scoured through various teams' depth charts to find the best fit where I can start immediately. Many teams had strong talent, making it hard to find a spot on the starting lineup. In the end, I chose Arizona State Sun Devils, where I could play immediately.

Gameplay Preparations

I turned off the wear and tear feature because I didn’t want injuries affecting my playtime. Our schedule looks challenging with games against Arizona, Baylor, BYU, Colorado, and more.

The depth chart revealed:

• QB: Taylor McDougall, 85 speed
• RB: Cam Scbo
• FB: Reggie Hadley
• WRs: Malik Mlan (91 speed), Troy Omir (90 speed)
• TEs: Josh Atkins, Coleman Banu
• My Cornerback: 83 speed, 82 Excel, 84 awareness, 80 man, 85 Zone, 79 press, 79 catching, 79 tackle, 80 hit power, 83 pursuit.

Practice Sessions

I started with two practice sessions: cover skeleton and chase and tackle.

Cover Skeleton

• Initial Performance: Struggled to keep up initially
• Outcome: Achieved silver with substantial XP gain

Chase and Tackle

• Tackling Performance: Showed potential, practicing in the box, made solid tackles.
• Outcome: Gained 12,000 points, below the 30,000 needed for gold

Academic and Leadership

I invested in academics to avoid a dumb player and increased leadership to potentially call plays. The key takeaways:

• Energy Management: Energy tokens used wisely for academics and XP gain
• Risk of Injury: Minimized by turning off wear and tear

First Game: Arizona State vs. Wyoming

First Quarter

• Defense: Strong start with swarm tackling and securing a fumble recovery
• Offense: Secured a field goal for an early 3-0 lead

Second Quarter

• Coverage: Allowed some completions but refocused on zone coverage
• Defense: Dominated run defense with multiple stops for a loss
• Offense: Another field goal extended the lead to 6-0

Third Quarter

• Game Dynamics: Switched sides defensively, maintained strong run defense
• Coverage Issues: Missed a coverage, allowed a touchdown, but held overall
• Continued Practice: Improved understanding of game controls like pressing receivers

Fourth Quarter

• Crunch Time: Stadium pulse high, key stops made
• Defensive Performance: Effective teamwork held opponents on multiple crucial plays
• Final Result: 17-6 win with a solid defensive showing

Conclusion

Overall, a great start for our "Road to Glory"! I am just getting the hang of things but excited for more gameplay. Stay tuned for the next episode!
