The crowds are roaring, you step onto the field and the stands are packed. It’s game day and your team has everything on the line.

You’re the quarterback, so everyone expects you to give it your all. One bad pass can send your team into disgrace, but one smart play can bring you glory. It’s all in your hands, can you pull it off? EA Sports College Football 25 puts us in that situation through one of the most beloved leagues: college football.

Released on July 19, the new installment of EA Sports’ popular American Football game was released on both PS5 and Xbox, causing numerous fans of the sport to return more than 10 years later.

Recall, then, that 2013 saw the release of NCAA Football 14, the last title in the saga…until now. After a very long break, the franchise has returned, and the truth is that it has done so in great shape, although with some quite noticeable “buts”.

EA Sports College Football 25

Right off the bat, EA Sports College Football 25 stands out for its spectacular gameplay. Graphically speaking, you can tell that it is a last-generation game, and both the field and the players look very good.

EA Orlando has done a great job when it comes to adapting the uniforms, environments, etc. to the video game world. The faces of their players comply, although they do not look so good, but the truth is that it does not clash in the least.

Continuing with the theme of EA Sports College Football 25, what we find is a great sports simulator that captures very well the complexity of American Football and its different strategies.

Every time we have the ball or defend, we will be offered very diverse options. The basic thing is to choose between three options, either defensive or offensive, which we will have to execute in one way or another according to our choices.

In that sense, the game is truly spectacular, since the tactical and mechanical recreation is really good. It is a very accurate simulator capable of emulating the conditions of a real match.

The bad thing is that these are not accompanied by bleachers or commentary to match. If we praise the realism of what happens on the pitch, we do the opposite with the stands.

The models of the fans look like something out of PS2, and the commentary doesn’t have much strength or punch. These are two details that detract from the impact but do not tarnish the final result.

In general, we have the classic quick match and the vs. mode against a friend, either in face-to-face or over the internet, two career modes (as a coach and as an outfield player, both very successful and with a lot of details), an ultimate team mode and another ranked game mode very similar to the one in EA Sports FC.

In general, we have several options, most of them quite interesting. With all this on the table, I consider EA Sports College Football 25 to be a good game and a great sports simulator that, although it needs some improvements, leaves the saga in a great place 11 years later.

You can tell that it has been designed for the most diehard college soccer fans to enjoy it, and that is something that is appreciated. Without a doubt, it’s a pretty fun game that lays a solid foundation going forward. Let’s remember that it’s been a long time since the release of the last NCAA Football, but the future looks pretty good.
