Sports games aren’t usually flush with trophies; they might encourage you to jump into a season, experiment with certain features, and compete online, but these aren’t very doable without significant effort or player skill. Worse, many achievements can push you into modes that encourage real-world spending, making them incredibly difficult to get without painful grinding or opening your wallet.
Within this sports game landscape,EA Sports College Football 25is a breath of fresh air. Trophies are spread across various modes but don’t require immense time investments. There are a few achievements that may take a few tries, but this is largely an easy list to complete.

Last One Standing

Earned in Dynasty. After making it to the end of the CFP,you can participate in the National Championship. Win and you’ll get an achievement.
Like Playoff Bound,you can sim through an entire season with a top-tier team to earn this as fast as possible, but that can be a little risky. We recommend selecting a powerhouse team,simming to the Bowl games, then playing each of them with full user controlto ensure victories.

Open Road to the CFP and play a game. Road to the CFP is an online mode where wins can help you rank up and reach higher skill brackets.You do not need to win to earn your trophy, just participate.
What an Upset
Defeat an opponent with higher Tier.
In Road to the CFP,teams are divided into three tiers, Tier 1 being the strongest and Tier 3 being the weakest. In order to earn What an Upset,you’ll need to choose a Tier 2 or 3 team and defeat an opponent with a stronger school.
Select your team, thenfilter for an opponent with a higher Tier than you. Defeat them, and the achievement is yours.
Moving on Up
Advance to Freshman in Road to the College Football Playoff.
This is probably the most difficult trophy in the game, given that it requires multiple online victories.
When you load into Road to the CFP for the first time,you’ll be in the Recruit division. In order to be promoted to Freshman,you need to advance your rank from the starting point of 134 to at least 92. There are ten games in the Road to the CFP season, andtwo or three victories should earn you the required placement.
After earning your victories and being ranked 92 or better,you’ll still need to finish the ten-game season. If you still have games left to play,select a Tier 3 teamand begin matchmaking.Losing as a Tier 3 team will not hurt your rank at all! Load in to all your remaining games, thenquit as soon as the option is available. It will count as a loss, but if you’re using a Tier 3 team, it won’t matter.Repeat this process until the end of the season, and your trophy will pop.
Big Play!
Score an 80+ yard passing TD.
This can be earned naturally through gameplay. However, you can earn it easily byselecting a team with one of the best quarterbacks(Colorado, Georgia, Texas, etc.) and entering a Play Now game.
Set the difficulty to Freshman, pick a weak defensive opponent, and choose a deep passing play.Lob the ball to one of your receivers, and you’ll have another trophy.
Breakaway Speed

Set the difficulty to Freshman, pick a weak defensive opponent, and choose a run play.Bounce outside the tackles, and you’ll earn another achievement.
Unbelievable Finish
Score a TD on the last play to win a rivalry game at home.
You need to do a bit of legwork to grab this trophy. Enter a Play Now game on Freshman difficulty, andset the quarters to one minute. After getting the ball,use QB Kneel to run the clock out. After the second half starts, get the ball andrun the clock until you hit the fourth quarter.
Now, drive down the field until you get to the goal line. If there’s any time remaining, kneel and thencall timeout with a few seconds left. Punch the ball in on the last play, and the trophy will be yours.
Dual Threat

For this achievement, you’ll want a quarterback that can scramble.Jalen Milroe from Alabama is recommended, since he has 91 speed and an impressive 90 overall (there are faster quarterbacks, but they all have much lower stats).
Enter a Play Now game on Freshman difficulty andlaunch the ball as far downfield as you can. After accruing 200 yards through the air, you canbegin running either through designed quarterback draws or option plays. The achievement should activate after you get all 400 yards.
It’s a Turnover!
Force a turnover with any team that has a unique turnover tradition.
There are five teams that have unique turnover traditions:Colorado, Oregon, Michigan, Pitt, and Kennesaw State. Load into a Play Now game with one of these teams,recover a fumble or make an interception, and you’ll earn the trophy.
