EA College Football 25 Problems & Fixes

The early EA College Football 25 release date has landed and we’re starting to see complaints about download issues and more. With that in mind, we want to provide gamers with fixes for some of the game’s most common problems.

It’s extremely early so we haven’t seen a ton of feedback from PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S users but bugs and performance issues will popup in the hours ahead.

EA will release updates with bug fixes but patches will be infrequent which means you may need to fix whatever is plaguing your experience on your own.

If you can’t wait for EA to roll out its next patch, or you can’t seem to fix your issue, you’re in the right place.

The list of College Football 25 problems will continue to grow as more people pickup the game and as EA rolls out new patches to address the current set of problems.

If you can’t find a working fix here, you’ll want to check out other resources like Reddit, EA Help, and EA’s X account for support.

How to Fix College Football 25 Download Problems

College Football 25 requires a fairly large download. For those of you with a fast Wi-Fi connection, the download shouldn’t take too long to finish up. That said, those of you with slower connections might have to wait awhile, especially during peak hours.

If you think your download is moving too slowly, try plugging an ethernet cable directly into your console. This could dramatically speed up the download. This is especially true if your Xbox or PlayStation is situated far away from your router.

If the download speed doesn’t improve, try restarting your router. Unplug the power cord from your router, wait a minute or two, plug it back in, and start the download again.

If the download gets stuck before it reaches 100% completion, pause the download, wait a few seconds, and try again. This can sometimes speed up the download as well.

If that doesn’t work, try canceling the download and starting it again.

If nothing here works, and you need more advice, head over to Microsoft’s site if you own an Xbox or Sony’s site if you own a PS5.

If you’re playing on a PS5, you’ll need to head into your console’s Settings and check your available space and make sure you’ve got enough space available.

If you’re positive you have enough space, but the game still won’t install properly, try shutting off your console completely before trying the installation again.

If everything appears to be up and running, we recommend resetting your router and/or your console before trying to connect again.
