EA Sports College Football 25 has recently disclosed additional information regarding its progress, shedding light on how student-athletes are compensated and the presence of real coaches in the game. This update follows the recent release of the first trailer for EA Sports College Football 25.
The trailer from last week showcased the game's logo, the month of the full reveal, and a glimpse of the schools that will be part of the gaming experience. Although the teaser did not offer a preview of the gameplay, it did confirm that a comprehensive unveiling is scheduled for May this year, preceding the game's launch later in the summer. Since the original announcement of College Football 25 years ago, there has been speculation about the game's approach to real college athletes.
According to a report by ESPN, EA's plan for compensating players who choose to participate in College Football 25 has been revealed. Any FBS player can opt-in, and those who do will be remunerated with $600 and a complimentary copy of the game. Additionally, selected players may have the opportunity to engage in more profitable Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements with EA. It was also clarified by EA that actual coaches will not be depicted in College Football 25. Instead, generic characters will take the place of well-known figures like Dabo Swinney, Deion Sanders, and Kirby Smart on the sidelines. Nonetheless, EA has assured fans that efforts are underway to enable coaches to participate in forthcoming editions. Although the exact release date for this year's game is still pending, earlier speculations may provide hints about when supporters can anticipate the debut of College Football 25.
Which Schools Can You Expect in EA Sports College Football 25?
The recent update has unveiled numerous details about College Football 25, confirming the inclusion of all 134 FBS teams, the novel 12-team playoff system, and the array of bowl games. This announcement has brought immense joy to college football enthusiasts who were uncertain about the potential impact of legal matters on the lineup of schools in College Football 25. However, enthusiasts of FCS programs may be disappointed for the time being, although EA has expressed its commitment to finding ways to incorporate these schools in future releases.
EA has also clarified that although College Football 25 will operate on the same engine as the somewhat controversial Madden series, the upcoming game will possess a unique appearance and ambiance. As part of the development process for College Football 25, EA has collected sounds, stadium visualizations, photographs, and other elements to faithfully replicate the ambiance of each stadium. Every stadium will showcase specific features like on-field sculptures, trophies, and accurately depicted seating arrangements.
