College Football 25 Update 1.009 Patch Notes, All Changes & New Uniforms

As a seasoned gamer and college football enthusiast, I am thrilled to see the latest updates for College Football 25! The ability to edit ratings for non-NIL players and recruits is a game-changer for me, as it adds a layer of realism that was missing before. I can’t wait to test out the new Super Sim timing logic and see how it impacts my strategies during in-game simming.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled that the NCAA football season officially started over the weekend, and today it’s really picking up pace! And what better time than now for the College Football 25 update 1.009 to roll out. They’ve already released a major title update in early August, followed by the smaller College Football 25 update 1.008 about a week ago, addressing some crucial bug fixes. The latest patch notes for update 1.009 highlight various gameplay adjustments, essential bug resolutions, playbook updates, and more.
