Kicking can be one of the most challenging aspects of College Football 25 gameplay. From nailing a 30-yard field goal to executing a flawless kickoff or punt, special teams play a crucial role in your success. Don't worry if you're struggling; many players face the same challenges. Here’s a guide to help you master the art of kicking in CFB 25.

Understanding Kicking Mechanics

In College Football 25, kicking involves two key elements: accuracy and power. The more difficult the kicking situation, the harder it becomes to achieve accuracy. For example, kickoffs are generally easier than long-field goals.

Step-by-Step Kicking Process

Get Close to the Green Area for Accuracy

To ensure your kick or punt goes in the right direction, aim to stop the accuracy meter in the green area (ideally, right in the middle). This applies even if you are aiming to the left or right of the field.

Manage Your Power Meter

After achieving good accuracy, hold the kick button (A on Xbox) to begin filling up the power meter. The speed at which the meter fills will vary depending on the situation:

Kickoffs: Slowest filling speed

Field Goals: Medium filling speed

Punts: Fastest filling speed

Avoid filling the power meter to the red zone, as this can result in over-kicking the ball, sending it off target. A good rule of thumb is to aim for the bottom of the arrow point for optimal power.

Tips for Each Kick Type

Field Goals:

For field goals over 50 yards, aim for the center of the green area, as accuracy becomes more crucial.

Practice in various wind conditions, as the wind can greatly affect your kick.

Kickoffs:

Kickoffs are typically more forgiving but aim to keep the kickoff inbounds to prevent unnecessary returns.

Adjust your power based on your desired distance. If you want to limit the return, aim for a higher power without going into the red.

Punts:

Punting requires a quick, accurate kick to achieve good yardage. Focus on getting the accuracy right, as punts can easily be shanked.

Aim for placement near the sidelines to limit return opportunities for your opponent.

Practice Makes Perfect

Mastering kicking in College Football 25 comes down to practice and repetition. Spend time in practice mode to refine your technique for each kick type. Even simple extra points can benefit from consistent practice to build muscle memory.
