When does EA Sports College Football 25 come out? Some will get to play on Monday.

The presentation of the game will blow every gamer away. The details of every team and stadium is precise, capturing the unique traditions and pageantry of every FBS school. For instance, UCLA’s “8 clap” can be heard during games and Hawai’i fans celebrate by throwing up the shaka. Another aspect of the presentation is the commentary. The commentators stressed the hours they put into the game, and there are so many fresh takes coming from the booth where the same things don’t get repeated over and over again.

If there were still any doubt this is a “Madden reskin,” the gameplay should put it to rest. It truly feels as if you’re playing an updated version of NCAA Football 14. The movements are crisp yet there’s nuance in what is needed to execute plays. After several games played, there weren’t any wild animations. Passing is much more precise and how good your quarterback is will determine how easy − or hard − it is to air the ball. However, it won’t take long to realize how much fun running the ball is. Players will be heavily rewarded for finding the open lanes, and juking out defenders will leave a smile on anyone’s face.

Dynasty mode is the mode everyone loves, and players will remember the amount of time needed to build a program. Becoming a hall of fame-worthy coach is a process and it’ll absolutely take time to become a national power if you start with a low-prestige school. The recruiting feels much more personalized and realistic to the point you’ll become attached to those recruits you’re so desperately trying to get to sign with your team, happy if you get them and disappointed if you don’t. The presentation of the game is also deeper in dynasty mode with commentary on how a team’s season is going and the domino effects around the college football world.
