It’s cliche to say but college football is back. And it only feels trite to say, because at this point, despite all the hype, the memes, the teasers, and the trailers — none of this feels real. For the first time in 11 years, there is a college football game and it’s called EA Sports College Football 25.
All 128 NCAA Division-1 FBS teams are in the game, and for an unprecedented first, this year’s version of college football also features current players. It’s a massive grab and statement for EA Orlando, which has been diligently working on the long-awaited successor to NCAA Football 14 since the 2021 announcement.
With the game launching across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X on July 19, two of Mashable’s biggest CFB fans took cracks at the game to find out if it was worth the wait. The biggest takeaway from our time playing is that CFB 25 gets the vibe of college football just right, even if the entire package could use some work. After all, it’s still an EA game.
