To throw a lob pass in College Football 25, quickly tap the receiver button for the player you want to aim for—and don’t press the button for longer, as this triggers another pass type from the quarterback.

Lob passes in College Football 25 require only a simple and quick button tap, as holding down the button for longer results in a touch pass, and holding down the receiver button for the maximum amount of power results in a bullet pass.

For the most effectiveness with this passing style, save lob passes when you are looking to throw deep and over the top of the defense for longer receiver runs—but make sure your receiver has enough space, or you risk an interception.

When throwing lob passes to a receiver, I usually hold the button for an aggressive catch (Y on Xbox, Triangle on PlayStation) or hold the button for a possession catch (A on Xbox, X on PlayStation), as these provide a better chance of the receiver coming down with the ball and completing the play.
