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 seems like a lot has changed in that time. But just because this series has been on hiatus for 10 years doesn’t mean College Football 25 will simply be a Madden clone. In the 20-minute gameplay video that EA Sports released earlier this week, we see many unique features, such as a much-improved options game, new animations, and unique presentation for some of the most exciting stadiums and environments in college sports, such as Penn State’s White Out games.

In addition to these unique elements, the game will also feature enhanced versions of EA Sports’ classic game modes, such as Ultimate team, Dynastyand Road to Glory, which lets you play out your own custom player’s college career from the early days to the Heisman Trophy.
