You can choose to take the field as a player and win glory with the team, or you can become a coaching wizard and lead a team to victory. You can even form your own ultimate team and dominate the field.

For players who choose to become players, there are many positions in the game for you to choose from, whether it is a quarterback or a Wide Receiver. I believe you can choose the position that best suits you. But for some players who play as a wide receiver for the first time, you can use the strategies and tips in this guide to find the best way to master this position.

Know Your Route

First of all, you need to be clear that as a Wide Receiver, you are an offensive player, the same as a quarterback. So you need to know how each game should be conducted before the game starts to succeed. In order to ensure that you are in the right place at the right time and seize the opportunity, you, as a novice, need to understand the route you need to run in each game.

If you are unsure of the route you are running for an upcoming play, you can choose to hold down R2/RT button to display the on-field diagram of the play, which will show you the direction you need to run. In the usual situation, when you run, you will be against the defender. But if you can follow the general route of the play, you may find yourself with a chance to catch the ball.

Get Rid Of Defender

After learning your route, you as a Wide Receiver not only need to put yourself in the right position for a pass, but also need to beat the opposing defender, because the defender will do everything he can to prevent you from getting enough space to catch the ball.

So getting rid of the defender is just as important as running the route. If the field allows, you can choose to cut inside, so that you are more likely to catch a quick pass. Or you can try to change direction suddenly, so that you can get rid of your opponent and catch a high lob.

Learn Master-level Breakthrough Interception Technique

The receiving strategy you just learned is just the first step in your learning as a wide receiver. Your most important task is to gain as many yards as possible, or score points if possible.

So achieving this goal, you not only need to use NCAA 25 Coins as much as possible before the game to enhance your speed and agility, but also need to develop a set of skills that are unique to you as soon as possible so that you can break through or evade the incoming interception.

All players, including wide receivers, can choose to pass the opposing defender, such as Juke, Stiff Arm, Spin, etc. So you may need to spend some time practicing these skills so that you can use them when prompted during the game without being in a hurry.

Once you have enough yards with these skills, you can use them at the right time. Not only can they help you get the first attack on the field, but they may also open up enough space for you to get a valuable 6 points.

Use The Most Suitable Catch Type For The Situation

Just as quarterbacks have different passing styles, Wide Receivers also have various catch types, so it is important to choose the right catch method that suits the game in front of you. The best catch method is always Safe Catch. But Safe Catch requires you to be unobstructed at this time and land with both feet firmly. This requires too much of you, so it is not an option that can be used all the time.

If you don’t select a catch type, you will be assigned a default catch. You can use it in an emergency, but it’s not always the best way to play. Here are some ideas to help you, such as using Aggressive Catches when you are ready to fight in the air.

Making quick and correct decisions on the field can ensure that you can make a successful catch, and may even turn a situation against your team.

Use The Clock To Your Advantage

Whether your team wins or loses in the end, your management of the clock as a wide receiver can have a significant impact on your team, and it often depends on your decisions after the catch. For example, a team that is temporarily losing will take any timeout opportunity to stop the clock, especially in the last quarter, to turn the situation in their favor.

A team that is temporarily ahead will want to use as much time as possible in the final stages of the game, so as a wide receiver, you don’t have to call timeouts as often. If your team is behind on the scoreboard in a tight game, the first task of the wide receiver after the catch is to get across the sideline.

If you are intercepted without going out of bounds, the clock will continue to run, but if they go out of bounds, the clock will stop. The opposite is true for the team leading in points, but in this case, the quarterback is unlikely to pass the ball to the wide receiver, because the forward running strategy is less risky and best for wasting time. So you can take a break temporarily.

The above are the points you need to pay attention to and learn when you first become a wide receiver. I hope you can become a great wide receiver soon and win more games in College Football 25!
