Frequently asked questions
What are ability requirements in College Football 26?
Ability requirements are the attribute ratings a player needs to unlock each ability tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum) in College Football 26. Every ability is tied to one or two attributes (for example Throw Under Pressure or Play Action), and the higher the tier, the higher the attribute rating required.
What is the difference between Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum abilities?
Bronze is the entry tier of an ability and Platinum is the strongest. Each step up requires a higher attribute rating and gives a stronger version of the ability's effect. Platinum abilities give the biggest in-game boost but need the highest ratings to unlock.
