Offense can be a challenging aspect of College Football 26, especially if you’re using a rebuilding team in Dynasty or playing on a high difficulty setting. You have to understand what type of defense the opponent is using, how to counter it, and the personnel you need on the field to succeed. One way you can tilt the odds in your favor is by using pre-snap adjustments. These have been in football games for quite a while, and College Football 26 implements a mechanic called “Smart Routes” to help you with them.
Smart Routes are an option you can select before your quarterback has snapped the ball on offense. Aside from the text on the screen, though, the game doesn’t tell you too much about what Smart Routes are or how to use them to help you run a particular play. Fortunately, you can see everything you need to know about Smart Routes in the guide below.
