In the Dynasty mode of College Football 25, being able to redshirt a player will let you as a coach maximize each athlete's potential for as many years as possible.
The athletes are ultimately what contribute to your program's strength over time. Although having a deep team is essential, you risk having too much money in a few spots. Redshirting players will allow you to control your team without sacrificing their growth. Although it's rather simple to do in the game, there are a few obstacles you should be aware of.
25 Redshirt Guides for College Football
An athlete may continue their undergraduate career for an additional year, gaining valuable experience and growth, by using their redshirt status. There are some requirements, however this may be completed when the athletes are in their freshman year. Let's first examine the procedure for requesting special status.
- Load your Dynasty mode save.
- Use the R1 button to scroll right and go to the “Team” tab.
- Scroll down to the option on the bottom that says “Redshirts”.
- This section shows your entire squad. Eligible athletes are highlighted.
- Go to an eligible athlete on the list and press the X/A button to submit.
- An icon will appear on the left of the athlete’s name.
However, there are restrictions. During their college career, an athlete is only eligible to get this designation once. Besides, they can participate in up to four games as a freshman. They will no longer be eligible to wear the redshirt if they play in more games than that. In fact, the game will alert you if you attempt to advance an athlete like that up the depth charts.
Even while this is a great method to reserve part of your skills for when you become a coach, at the conclusion of the season there is the Transfer Portal. If their expectations aren’t met, one or more of your prospects could take their skills somewhere else. If you're holding too many talented players that desire playing time on your team, be mindful of that.
The Road to Glory application procedure for redshirt status is also accessible in College Football 25. But because you're pretending to be an athlete, it's less clear. As opposed to Dynasty mode, you won't have any influence over the many elements that determine whether you get the status.
