College Football 25 Road to Glory - Part 1 - The Beginning

Introduction

Welcome to the astonishing world of College Football 25! After 10 years of anticipation, we are finally here, ready to embark on an incredible journey. We're diving into the "Road to Glory" series, and there's also a "Dynasty" series on the horizon, so keep an eye out for that.

Choosing Our Prospect

Our journey begins with an exciting decision: what kind of prospect are we going to be? We have the option to be an Elite Blue Chip, a Contributor, or an Underdog. Although being a five-star Elite Prospect with immediate playtime sounds tempting, I have a soft spot for an underdog story. We decide to start as a middle-of-the-road three-star Contributor.

Setting Up Our Player

Our player's info needs to be set up next. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t have my actual hometown, so we go with the closest option available. With our player, Trevor Martin, being 6'4" and 205 pounds, we’re set. Our basis seems solid, with decent accuracy and sufficient throw power to start our journey.

Initial Challenges and Decisions

Early on, we face Donna Harper's questions about our priorities in college football, focusing on finding a program that can properly develop us. We chose knowledgeable coaching staff and expressed our ultimate goal to play professionally. Hence, Northwestern seemed like the right choice for us—a balance of a prestigious Big Ten conference with a coach that aligns with our goals.

Tackling Position Battle and Training

Starting as the second-string quarterback means we have to grind through weekly practices, upgrading our skills diligently. We undergo several practice sessions, focusing on different aspects, from pocket presence to scrambling, ensuring that we build a comprehensive skill set.

Moving Up to QB2

After some successful practice drills, we win the position battle to become the second-string quarterback. With continued hard work and consistent training, we advance in the coaches' trust and set our sights on becoming QB1.

Our First Start

Despite facing challenging games and starting the season off rough, we finally earn our first start against Indiana. It's an exhilarating yet nerve-wracking experience. Despite playing well individually, our team faces some setbacks, and we end our debut match with a narrow loss. However, it's merely the beginning, and there's a lot more to come in our journey.

What's Next?

Each week brings new challenges, academic responsibilities, health management, and additional training. The road ahead is long, and our goal is clear—continue to develop skillfully, lead the team successfully, and ultimately make the right decisions for a prosperous career in college football.
