WHAT TO EXPECT FROM EA SPORTS COLLEGE FOOTBALL 25
For the first time in eleven years, licensed collegiate football is almost back with College Football 25, and a lot has changed since then. However, this is not to say that College Football 25 will be a Madden clone just because the franchise has been away for over ten years. Indeed, there are a lot of exclusive features in the 20-minute gameplay video that EA Sports unveiled earlier this week. These include a significantly improved option game, fresh animations, and a special presentation for some of the most thrilling venues and settings in college sports, like Penn State’s White Out games.
The game will include enhanced versions of EA Sports’ iconic game modes, such as Ultimate Team, Dynasty, and Road to Glory, in addition to those exclusive features. These modes allow you to take control of your own personalized player and follow their collegiate career from the start to the Heisman Trophy.
