How to spike the ball in CFB 25
There are two ways to spike the ball in College Football 25, depending on your current offensive approach. If you’re selecting a play from the play selection screen, follow these steps:
- Scroll to Play Type.
- Navigate to Clock Management.
- Select Spike Ball as the play type.
This is time-consuming, however, and isn’t the best approach when you’re charging down the field looking for a late score. Instead, use the turbo no-huddle approach and trigger a spike by following these steps:
- Call a turbo no-huddle by holding the designated button after a play (X on Xbox, Square on PlayStation).
- Open the Audibles menu (X on Xbox, Square on PlayStation).
- Hit the designated button shown in the Audibles menu to spike the ball (RB on Xbox, R1 on PlayStation).
