How to call for a Fair Catch in College Football 25
If you go to the controls section of the settings in College Football 25, it doesn't actually tell you how to do a Fair Catch. Fans of Madden or the former NCAA series will know the button to press, though.
First, you'll want to press Circle (PS5) or B (Xbox) to control the returner. Then when you want to call for a Fair Catch, you will hold Triangle (PS5) or Y (Xbox). It is important that you hold it, as tapping it does not trigger the mechanic.
