How to Use Hot Routes in College Football 26

Learn how to create your own plays using hot routes in College Football 26.

Hot routes allow you to change a receiver's route on the fly.  To use them, press Triangle (or Y on Xbox) and select your receiver. This will open the hot route menu, offering up to 14 different options. You can choose these routes by using the left stick, right stick, d-pad, and triggers. The available hot routes vary depending on the receiver you select and their position on the field. Hot routes are essential for enhancing default plays and making them significantly more effective.
