Okay, so I was super hyped about the new NCAA Football 25 game, and like everyone else, I saw this “gem” thing popping up everywhere. I had no clue what it meant, so I decided to figure it out. I’m gonna walk you through what I did, step-by-step.
First Steps: Total Confusion
At first, I was just browsing Reddit and some forums. I saw people talking about “hidden gems” and “gem ratings,” but it was all super vague. It felt like everyone knew something I didn’t. I was like, “Am I missing something obvious?”
Digging Deeper: Finding Some Clues
So, I started actively searching. I used Google, searched different phrases, and that sort of helped. It wasn’t giving me the full picture. Some of the search results were helpful, but none were conclusive.
- I started by simply Googling “NCAA 25 gem meaning.” Lots of stuff about the game generally, but nothing specific.
- Then I tried “NCAA 25 recruit gem.” This was a little better. I started seeing mentions of recruiting and player development.
- Finally I searched something like “NCAA 25 hidden gem players.” And Bingo! more useful information started popping up!
Figuring it Out: Putting the Pieces Together
So based on my search, it seems like it is related to hidden stats. I think what it actually is, is the rating for a player’s potential. It is meant to simulate the real-world aspect of finding unheralded recruits who turn into superstars.
My Conclusion (For Now!)
So, my best guess, after all this digging, is that the “gem” in NCAA 25 refers to these under-the-radar recruits. The ones who aren’t highly ranked but have a ton of potential. It’s like the game’s way of telling you, “Hey, this guy might not look amazing now, but he could be a star!” I’m pretty sure I’ve got it figured out, at least for the most part. I’m excited to see how it actually works in the game!
It represents a player’s hidden potential. It’s a cool feature!
