The basics of the RPO are pretty simple in College Football 25 and gives you a ton of freedom for how you navigate certain plays based on reads you make right after the ball is snapped. Here are some basics to keep in mind as you are running the run-pass option in CFB 25.
- On a basic RPO, if you snap the ball and don't touch anything, the QB will hand the ball off to the HB
- In that same scenario, if you click A (on Xbox) you will not hand the ball off and your QB will keep it. If it's a designed QB run, they will take off with the ball. If it's a designed pass, you can then throw it.
- In an RPO that has a screen pass lets say, you can instantly hit the input for that receiver after the snap to quickly get it out to them and ignore the run option
- According to devs, "Looking to keep the ball with the QB on an RPO? The type of RPO dictates whether you can (Read/Peek) or can’t (Alert/Glance)"
So, while the basics of the RPO are pretty simple, getting used to getting the inputs right can be tricky. Our advice to work on this is to hop into open practice with just the offense, so you can try out different plays without the pressure coming in from the defense.
