The QB sliding in College Football 25.

Anyone who’s played Madden in the last few years will be familiar with the slide button in College Football 25. However, those gamers who came out of retirement will need a crash course about how to get to the ground. All it takes to QB slide is tapping the X button on Xbox or the Square button on PlayStation, but there’s a level of finesse to it, as hitting the button wrong can lead to disaster.

If you hold onto X or Square for too long, your QB will dive rather than slide, which can lead to fumbles. It’s also likely they’ll take a big hit, and if you’re playing Road to Glory and didn’t focus on your health that week, that could mean your day is done. That’s why it’s probably a good idea to head into a game against the CPU or a practice session to try out sliding. There’s no worse feeling than playing a friend or opponent online and losing the game because you put the ball on the ground in a crucial spot.
