College Football 25: How to Throw a Touch Pass

Getting points on the board in EA Sports College Football 25 means moving the chains consistently, and when compared to the more grindy nature of the rushing game, passing is definitely the best way to move down the field. However, not all passes are the same, and there are obvious use cases depending on your routes, as well as the coverage on the defensive side.

Lob passes can help fast receivers burn their opposite number for huge gains, while a bullet pass should be the choice when drilling into a crowded area and hopefully into the arms of a grateful receiver. However, there is still one more pass the best quarterbacks must master in order to be well-rounded in the game, and that is the touch pass. This guide on how to throw a touch pass in College Football 25 will help you do just that.

What is a Touch Pass in College Football 25?

Essentially, the touch pass is the middle option between the lob and the bullet pass. It doesn't go as high as a lob, and it doesn't zip as fast as a bullet pass. That is why it is always a reliable option when running the passing game in College Football 25. It enables quarterbacks to find their receivers much more quickly, and with an arc on it, also makes the ball harder to pick off or swatted by the defense.

Before we get into the details of how to actually throw a touch pass in the game, it also depends on the chosen control scheme that players pick for the passing game.

Placement

Going for the Placement choice means that players can determine the flight of the ball with more control. In order to throw a touch pass under the scheme, your passing bar should fill up to about three-quarters for the selected receiver. If you are focusing on the receiver instead, time yourself for about half a second.

Placement & Accuracy

As for the Placement & Accuracy control scheme, it's all about timing the throw, ideally within the green zone, to give your receivers the best chance of grabbing the ball in the air. For a touch pass, you are looking at filling about half the bar in order to execute the pass properly during the offensive sequence.

Classic

For the Classic, you no longer have the benefit of meters to determine the quality or type of your pass. Instead, it's about choosing the right receiver and pressing the corresponding button to hit your target. However, you can still do a touch pass by holding down the receiver's button for about half a second.

Revamped

The easiest way for touch passes to be executed is under the Revamped control scheme, you should be holding down the button until the meter fills up for about two-thirds of the bar. This should give you enough power and arc to get the ball to your receiver behind the defense. For QBs in Road to Glory, this should be your go-to pass to increase your chances of getting the coach's trust fast.
