How to skip animations in College Football 25

You can skip any animation in College Football 25 by holding down the A button (on Xbox) for a few seconds. This will immediately take you to what would have loaded next, whether that be the play calling screen or the end of the game. For PlayStation players, this should work in much the same way by pressing the X button.

This is especially helpful when you are in the middle of a game of Dynasty, watching your Road to Glory player trot off the field for the 100th time, or seeing a repetitive tradition intro that you have seen one too many times.

After realizing how to do this from some painful trial and error, it has significantly sped up the average time I spend on a Road to Glory game, especially with an Elusive HB that subs off on most 3rd downs.

So, if you are sick of some of the game's animations like many are, keep this time in mind for your next time booting up College Football 25.

This is a quality-of-life feature that many fans are keen on utilizing and can significantly help the flow of the game. Now, if they would only allow us to change the menu music.
