EA Sports College Football 25: How to Earn Coach Trust in Road to Glory

Whatever position or path you choose in EA Sports College Football 25‘s Road to Glory mode, it’s always important to earn something called Coach Trust. This ensures that you climb the ladder and land that starting job, and it also helps you keep that job no matter what recruits or transfers come to your school. You’ll also earn perks, such as more playbook selections, which is nice.

But there are a few ways to earn Coach Trust, and we’ll start with an obvious one. In fact, this first one we’ll mention is the fastest way to rack up trust, but only if you get to see the field.

Making Big Plays

So this one was a given. You go out there and make big plays, and the coaches will love it. Keep doing that, and you’ll remain as the starter. However, if you play poorly, you’ll lose Coach Trust points and that can bring you down a bit. Mistakes are going to happen, so just make more positive than negative plays and you’ll be in great shape.

Keeping Your GPA High

Yup, that’s right, just because it’s a video game doesn’t mean you can just ignore your school work in College Football 25. Well, you can ignore it if you want to, but you’ll miss out on a shiny Coach Trust bonus for keeping your GPA high during the school year.

All you have to do is spend your Energy points to fill your Academics meter. Just make sure to spread out the Energy so you can use the points towards things like your Health and Training (Training gives XP). Also an important thing to note, if you focus on your Brand meter, this will bring down your Academics meter by a tick or two, so make sure to find that perfect balance if Branding is important to you.

Practice Mini Games

Mini games return for College Football 25. You’ll have the option to play certain mini games in Road to Glory based on the position you’re playing. Getting bronze, silver, or gold on these games each week will give you some Coach Trust points. Definitely consider replaying the mini games you’re the best at to get the best results. They’re always fun to play too, so you shouldn’t get bored for a bit. It’s a win-win.
