What to expect from EA Sports College Football 25
College Football 25 marks the virtual return of licensed college football for the first time in a decade, and it looks like a lot has changed in that time. But just because the series has been on hiatus for 10 years doesn’t mean College Football 25 will simply be a Madden clone. In fact, in the 20-minute gameplay video that EA Sports released earlier this week, we can see a number of unique features, such as highly improved option play, novel animations, and an exclusive look at some of the most exhilarating stadiums and environments in college sports, such as Penn State’s White Out games.
In addition to these unique features, the game will also feature enhanced versions of classic EA Sports game modes such as The best team, Dynastyand Road to Glory, where you can choose your own player and recreate his collegiate career from his earliest days all the way to winning the Heisman Trophy.
