There is no way to sub out your player if you are playing Road to Glory in College Football 25, as the decision is made by the coaches. Having said that, players are getting frustrated by how frequently players are subbed out in Road to Glory.

If you find yourself being subbed out too often, turn down Fatigue and Wear and Tear in the Options menu. It appears the game is overly protective of players and subs them out too often, but adjusting the settings can fix this.

In any other game mode where you control the entire team, making subs is easy and is done by following these steps:

  1. Open the Pause menu.
  2. Select the Coaching menu.
  3. Select the Depth Chart.
  4. Choose the player you want to replace and select them, then select the player you want to bring into the game.

It’s worth remembering that player Fatigue and Wear and Tear do improve with rest when a player is on the sideline, including if their side of the team isn’t on the field, so keep an eye out as you may want to bring a player back into the game.
