EA Sports College Football 25: Road to Glory Starting Options Explained

EA Sports College Football 25 will be the title that fans have been asking for since they stopped releasing the titles back in 2014.

Now, we're heading into this years game, Road to Glory will be one of the most played modes, and there's going to be four starting choices for us to make. 

Here's all of them explained. 

EA Sports College Football 25: Road to Glory Starting Options Explained 

Road to Glory is the mode where players create their own player and grind throughout the years of College until they're able to turn pro, or win the National Championship. 

This year, players will have the choice to start with one of four pre-selected options, and these are going to determine your role/OVR at the onset of the game mode. 

  • Elite: An elite recruit is a five-star prospect, starting with the highest overall rating (OVR) of 79. This player is expected to get on the field immediately and start right away at most programs across the country. Additionally, you will receive one extra mental ability and the five starting skill points, which you can use to upgrade your player. We will dive further into how this all works later. 
  • Blue Chip: A blue chip prospect is a four-star recruit with a strong starting point at a 75 OVR, along with one mental ability and four skill points. This player will be able to contribute immediately to most programs and earn significant playing time at some schools.
  • Contributor: This is a three-star prospect who may have the chance to get on the field earlier in their career, but will have to work hard for any playing time. They do not get an additional mental ability and start with only three skill points.
  • Underdog: This is the true underdog Road to Glory story. It is the hardest starting point where you will see little playing time and have to earn every snap on the field. Starting as a two-star recruit with a 60 OVR and only receiving two skill points, this journey is for those who love a challenge.
