In this guide, we’ll take a look into how you can earn skill points and upgrade your player in College Football 26.
College Football 26 features a Road to Glory game mode, much like its predecessor, that lets you create your own college football star and take them to heights of glory. It’s an exciting journey that’ll have you carefully balancing the player’s on-field performances with his college academics. During this mode, you’ll eventually get the option to upgrade your player’s skills and abilities.
However, this feature isn’t available from the very beginning of Road to Glory when you’re still a rookie. In this guide, we’ll explore how you can upgrade your player in College Football 26 and how to unlock the skill points system.
How Can You Upgrade Your Player in College Football 26?
You will see the Upgrade Player option in your Road to Glory menu. If you have unspent skill points, you can then access the Upgrade Player option and use the points to build up one of your player’s six core ratings. Each rating also has specific stats tied to it, so upgrading a rating also means that the stats within it will go up.
The core ratings and the stats that make them up will differ based on your player’s position. So, the ratings and stats for a Quarterback will be completely different when compared to, say, a Wide Receiver. Some of the core ratings for different positions include, Elusiveness, IQ, Hands, and more.
Each rating will have different skill point requirements for upgrades, so unless you’ve earned the necessary amount of points, you won’t be able to improve upon that rating. Each progressive upgrade for a specific rating will get increasingly costlier. Once you do have the necessary skill points, though, simply go to the rating you want to upgrade and then press and hold X on your PS5 controller or A on your Xbox controller.

How To Earn Skill Points in College Football 26
You won’t be able to upgrade your player right after starting the Road to Glory mode. Rating upgrades only become possible once you’ve signed up with one of the colleges after spending the initial five weeks in high school. After that, you can start to earn skill points in a variety of ways.
The easiest way to get skill points is to train. Each Training Session requires you to spend some Energy, and you can train as many times as you want to until the Energy runs out. However, keep in mind that overtraining will increase the risk of injury for your player and lower their Health stats.
Achieving Milestones is another way to earn skill points for your player. A Milestone in the game is any objective that you can complete during a match. These goals could be simply scoring a touchdown or successfully receiving the ball. Or, it can also be something quite complex. Every Milestone you check off the list will earn you some XP, which will eventually unlock newer skill points.
