Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into NCAA 25 lately, and let me tell you, snagging all those trophies is a real grind, but a fun one! I wanted to share my journey and some tips I picked up along the way, hopefully, it helps some of you out there.
Getting Started: Dynasty Domination
First things first, I started a Dynasty. Didn’t really matter which team, I just picked one I liked. The key here is to get familiar with the game mechanics, recruiting, and all that jazz. You’re gonna be spending a lot of time in Dynasty mode, so might as well get comfy.
- Recruiting is Key: Seriously, I spent hours scouting players, making phone calls, and promising the world. It’s tedious, but landing those top recruits makes a HUGE difference.
- Simulate, but Strategically: I simulated a lot of games, especially against weaker opponents. But for big rivalry games or tough matchups, I always played them myself. Gotta secure those wins!
Trophy Hunting: The Specifics
So, while I was building my dynasty, I was also keeping an eye on the trophy list. Some of them are super easy, like “Score a Touchdown” – duh! But others require some specific actions.
- “Heisman Hopeful”: For this one I made sure to focus and have one player as my superstar. I fed him the ball constantly, racking up yards and touchdowns. Took a couple of seasons, but I finally got a player nominated, and eventually, he won the Heisman!
- “Lockdown Defense”: This one was tricky. I focused on building a killer defense through recruiting and training. Lots of interceptions and sacks are the name of the game here. I even adjusted my defensive schemes before each game to try and exploit the opponent’s weaknesses.
- “Road to Glory”: Started a new Road to Glory career. Picked quarterback so i could be fully in control of the offense. Had some stellar games through highschool and had my pick for top tier colleges.
The Grind and the Glory
Honestly, it took a lot of hours. There were times I felt like I was hitting a wall, especially when my star quarterback got injured mid-season (ouch!). But I kept pushing, tweaking my strategies, and learning from my mistakes.
Finally seeing that platinum trophy pop up on my screen? Best feeling ever! It’s a testament to all the time and effort I put in. If you’re going for it, just remember to be patient, persistent, and have fun with it! It’s a game, after all.
