If you are between the ages of 25 and 40, there is a good chance that EA College Football was a staple video game for you and is an area of nostalgia. For the past 11 years, fans have eagerly waited for this video game to return. At one point, it felt like it would never happen; however, with NIL becoming a reality, the possibility of the game quickly became real.
On Thursday, EA Sports officially announced that College Football 25 would be released on Friday, July 19. Different game modes were also announced, along with what would be added in each mode. Today, the official game trailer was released, and people reacted quickly and positively.
Watch The Trailer
Just three hours after releasing the trailer, the video had already surpassed 650,000 views on YouTube. For context, the most recent Madden Game only has 780,000 views after 11 months.
College Football 25 Keeps With Tradition, Shows Huge Upgrades
After watching the trailer several times, several things stood out to me. The first is that, despite modern game engines and graphics being able to look much more realistic, the game still seems to have a small sense of early 2010’s graphic nostalgia. The graphics are clearly better, but there is still something that feels classic about it. I’m not sure how to phrase it; however, after watching this trailer next to the trailer is like Madden, NBA2K, or FIFA, it feels like the graphics are not at the same level as those games, but not in a bad way.
This seems odd since, almost without a doubt, this game will be the highest-grossing video game of all time. Budget is clearly not an issue, yet the graphics are clearly not on the same level as other sporting games. Again, this may be looking into something more than it needs to be, but after watching dozens of other trailers, it does almost feel like this had to have been intentional, and at least for me, I love it.
Something else that stuck out was that they appear to be showing off new game options that have never been available, such as replays with zoom-in cameras, player control abilities, and much more pregame footage.
Overall Reaction is Positive
