Daryl Holt, SVP and Group GM of EA SPORTS, expressed the team’s excitement about creating a game that caters to passionate college football fans. The response from the collegiate landscape, athletes, creators, celebrities, and the core community has been overwhelming. The developers have worked tirelessly to deliver the most authentic college football experience possible for fans.
EA Sports College Football 25 offers several fan-favorite modes that players can enjoy. They can create a coach and lead their program in Dynasty Mode or step onto the field and experience student-athlete life in Road to Glory. Additionally, players can compete against others in Road to the College Football Playoff and College Football Ultimate Team.
Even before its official launch, College Football 25 garnered immense popularity among fans. During Early Access, 2.2 million unique players tried the game, and an additional 600,000 EA Play subscribers used the 10-hour trial feature.
The return of EA Sports College Football was made possible by a 2020 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on NIL rules for college athletes. Initially, EA did not plan to include real college athletes in the game due to previous legal issues. However, following the ruling, EA was able to work out deals with players. In February 2024, EA announced that college athletes who opted in would receive $600 and a copy of the game as compensation.
EA has gone above and beyond to capture the spirit of college football in the game. They have recreated iconic traditions, such as fight songs, mascots, commentators, bowl games, and the Heisman trophy. The game even features a soundtrack with 167 college fight songs and an original theme song by Grammy-nominated composer Kris Bowers. Fans can access the soundtrack on music streaming services.
Overall, EA Sports College Football 25 is a testament to the dedication of the developers in providing an immersive and authentic college football experience. With its extensive roster of teams, stadiums, and players, the game is sure to captivate fans of the sport. Whether you’re a coach in Dynasty Mode or a player in Road to Glory, this game offers endless opportunities for fans to engage with their favorite sport. So grab your controllers, choose your team, and enjoy the thrilling world of college football in EA Sports College Football 25!
