How to Throw a Touch Pass in EA Sports College Football 25
A key to a solid passing game in EA Sport College Football 25 is understanding all the throws in your arsenal. But while the lob pass and bullet pass are fairly easy to understand, touch pass can be a lot more complicated. That’s probably why one of College Football 25The first few tutorial challenges ask you to throw a touch pass, and it’s a little tricky to determine what counts and what doesn’t.
To help you improve your passing game and overcome that pesky challenge, here’s everything you need to know about how to throw a touch pass in College Football 25 with each of the passing control schedules.
What is a touch pass?
To cover the basics, a touch pass is somewhere between a bullet and a lob. With a touch pass, the ball comes off the QB’s hands with more velocity and speed than a lob, leaving the ball lower in the air with a smaller arc, but also higher than a bullet, making it harder to pick up and giving your receiver a little more time to retrieve the ball.

In each control scheme, you can throw a touch pass by holding down the button of your chosen receiver for about half a second. Here’s how throwing a touch pass works with each control scheme.

This passing scheme is probably the easiest to execute touch passes with. A short button hold fills the passing bar about one-third to two-thirds full, giving you a nice little arcing pass — which should either complete your challenge or ensure you nail the pass.

Similar to the revamped version, if you press the button briefly, the bar will fill about halfway and you will be given a touch pass.

This one is a little harder because the short grip is very precise, but if the pass bar is three quarters full then you have executed the pass correctly.

This is the hardest, because there is no visual feedback other than the ball itself. You have to perform the same short hold as in all the other control schemes, and if you’ve done it right, your QB should throw a nice lob right at your target.
When to throw a touch pass
A touch pass is perfect for an intermediate pass to a fairly open receiver, or someone who has a moderate amount of space in front of him on his route. It won’t necessarily fit into the tight windows that bullet passes are great for, but it gets to its target much quicker than a lob, which should make it much harder for the defense to intercept.
