Jump into the College Football 26 settings menus and it's possible to adjust numerous on-field parameters, such as penalty frequencies, QB accuracy, blocking ability, and so many more. Find out how, and make your NCAA experience even more authentic, with our College Football 26 sliders guide.

Using Sliders to tweak your gameplay experience is delightfully simple. Jump into the main menu, then move your way across the top bar to Settings.

Freelance Writer

I'm GamesRadar's freelance sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
