Alright, let’s talk about how to pull off a lateral in College Football 25. I’ve been messing around with this for a while, and I’ve got some tips to share.
First off, you gotta have the right situation. Laterals are risky, so you don’t wanna be doing them all the time. Think late-game, when you’re down a few points and need a miracle. That’s the perfect time to try one.
Here’s how I usually set it up:
- I call a pass play, usually something with a receiver running a short route, like a slant or a drag.
- Once the ball is snapped, I watch the defense. If they’re playing man coverage, I look for my receiver to get a step on his defender.
- If they’re in zone, I try to find a hole in the coverage where my receiver can catch the ball with some space.
Now, here comes the tricky part – the actual lateral.
I do this in the following way:
- As soon as my receiver catches the ball, I quickly find a nearby teammate.
- Then I press the lateral button, which is usually L1 on PlayStation or LB on Xbox.
- At the same time, I use the left stick to aim the lateral towards my teammate. This part takes some practice to get the timing and direction right.
If I do it correctly, my receiver will toss the ball to his teammate, who hopefully has some open field to run into.
Some Extra Thoughts
I’ve found that timing is everything with laterals. If I throw it too early, it might get intercepted. Too late, and my receiver might get tackled before he can get the ball off. Also, it’s super important to aim carefully. A bad toss can easily end up in the other team’s hands.
Honestly, laterals are a high-risk, high-reward play. I’ve had some epic game-winning moments with them, but I’ve also had plenty of turnovers. It’s all about reading the situation and making a split-second decision. Practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to experiment in the game.
So there you have it – that’s my experience with pulling off laterals in College Football 25. It’s not easy, but when it works, it’s one of the most satisfying plays in the game.
Hope this helps you out on the virtual gridiron! Good luck!
