All College Football 26 Passing Types Explained

There are a ton of settings that you can change in EA Sports College Football 26, but none are as important as your chosen passing type. There are four different passing types to choose from in College Football 26, and each of them offers a drastically different experience when throwing the ball to receivers.

If you’ve played last year’s College Football 25, then you should already be familiar with the four passing types featured in College Football 26. They remain largely unchanged this year, but some of the other gameplay tweaks can make passing feel quite different even though the controls haven’t changed much. Here’s what you need to know about all four passing styles in NCAA 26.

How to Play Friends Online in College Football 26

Playing against friends online in College Football 26 is the best way to settle the debates over who the better player is. Here’s how to do it.

There are four passing types to choose from in College Football 26, and each of them is listed below.

• Placement
• Placement & Accuracy
• Classic
• Revamped

The game defaults to Revamped passing, and it’s the recommended control type for most players. It combines the simplicity of Classic passing with the granular control of the other styles, letting you control the arc and power of a pass. It takes players’ ratings and pass context into account, so higher-rated players can make more accurate throws if they’re not contested by defenders.

If you want more control over your passes, then Placement is the passing style for you. Placement gives you a visual aid that lets you manually determine the trajectory of a pass. Accuracy is determined by player ratings when Placement passing is active, though. If you’d rather leave accuracy to skill instead of ratings, you can enable Placement & Accuracy, which gives you complete control over both aspects of a pass.

Classic Passing is the most straightforward of the bunch, and it’s recommended for those who used to play NCAA games back in the day and are coming back to the scene with College Football 26. It’s basically the same as Revamped passing, but it doesn’t take player ratings or pass context into account. All you have to do is press the button floating above the receiver’s head to make a pass. You’ll be able to control the power and accuracy of the pass, but not as much as you would with the Placement & Accuracy style.

You can freely swap between passing types in the College Football 26 settings menu, so experimentation is encouraged. The game gets pretty tough, especially on harder difficulty levels, so it’s a good idea to get comfortable with the passing controls before you try to pull off any big plays.
