College Football 25: Stadium Pulse Guide (How To Overcome & Win)
has arrived and features many unique elements to differentiate it from the series. Alongside new modes such as Road To Glory and Dynasty, new gameplay features exist. One such change that the game brings is Stadium Pulse, a new take on momentum within sports games that hasn't been seen before. It is designed to add an extra layer to gameplay, particularly hostile stadiums or certain heated rivalries.
The new feature affects players when using the away team in certain matchups to replicate the extra pressure that is felt on a game day. While you have been able to quieten or increase the volume of the crowd in for a long time, it has not affected gameplay. However, Stadium Pulse does this, making it much trickier when on offense. It provides disruptions when you are making offensive plays, such as making the receivers' running routes shaky or options not being available. It can make it much harder to move the ball, but thankfully, there are some ways to counter it.
EA Sports played into one of the gaming industry's worst trends with the release of College Football 25, and it seems to have paid off for them.
Stadium Pulse can have a huge impact on match results, especially at the highest tiers. Certain stadiums in are the hardest to play in, and like in real life, the best way to combat the pressure is to make plays and silence the crowd. Every completed pass, successful run, first down, or touchdown will help bring the Stadium Pulse down.
When the level is at its highest, it is easiest to use running plays, but if you know certain passing plays well, you can still use them. Stadium Pulse levels tend to be at their highest at the start or end of matches if the game is particularly close.
Stadium Pulse levels (found in the top right corner) fluctuate throughout matches, so it is best to try to score while they are at a lower tier.
The only active way you can change the effects of Stadium Pulse yourself is by using a Quarterback with the Headstrong Mental Ability.
