Tips
- Master the option: College playbooks heavily feature the option. Use the L1/R1 buttons to pitch the ball to your trailing back just before the quarterback is tackled to exploit gaps in the defense.
- Clock management: In tight games, use the sidelines to stop the clock when running out of time, or rely on a strong running game to chew up the clock when holding a lead.
- Learn the receiver icons: In the heat of the play, passing relies on quickly identifying the button icon above your intended receiver. Memorize your primary read route to get the ball out quickly before the pass rush arrives.
