Touch pass controls in College Football 25

To throw a touch pass in College Football 25, one wants to press the button icon that appears above a receiver’s head at medium strength.

This type of pass is one of several different types of throws in College Football 25. Much like in Madden 25, there are lob, bullet, and touch passes. A bullet pass is activated when pressing and holding the receiver button. A lob pass is one where the receiver button is tapped, not held on at all.

Touch passes are right in the middle. Hold it down long enough so that the game registers the input, but quick enough so that a bullet pass isn’t thrown.

So, how can you master the art of the touch pass? Simply, just practice. Going into Open Practice and throwing against no defense is helpful in this regard. College Football 25 players can throw without pressure and get the muscle memory down, especially if one’s habit is to press and hold the button.

Touch passes are effective when dropping the ball over the head of a defender underneath, or in front on deeper Coverage.
