College Football 25 Ratings Matter Slider Project

As I always say, slider sets come down to personal preference, but people still tend to gravitate towards a handful of sets throughout the year. I’ve championed canes21’s set as my personal favorite for College Football 25, but another favorite on the forums is the Ratings Matter Slider Project from OS user MassChaos.

As the name implies, MassChaos was looking for a way to bring out the ratings a bit more while still having gameplay that was challenging, realistic, and fair. These sliders have stayed consistent now the last couple months and new people continue to try them out. With that in mind, here is the idea behind them and then the slider values.

College Football 25 Ratings Matter Slider Project

College Football is my favorite sport. A large part of what makes the sport great to me is the variety in skill levels that are on the field at the same time. That is the basis for which this slider set was created. I was tired of playing as Akron and having a consistent opportunity to beat teams like Ohio State and vice versa. (that’s not to say those upsets are impossible, but they are significantly more unlikely to happen.)

Another great part of college football is that the athletes are college kids. Meaning, they make mistakes! Penalties, drops, misthrown passes, missed tackles and blown assignments are all on display in each and every game on Saturdays. Why shouldn’t they happen in CFB 25?
