Gameplay Details
Developed by EA Orlando (formerly known as EA Tiburon), College Football 25 promises an authentic college football experience. Expect gameplay similar to Madden NFL, but with a distinct college football feel.
The biggest difference? You’ll have all 134 FBS schools and their stadiums at your fingertips. You can take control of any of these teams in various modes, including:
- Play Now: Jump right into a game with any team.
- Road to Glory: Create your own college athlete and embark on a career-defining journey. Will you stay loyal to your alma mater or transfer for greener pastures?
- Dynasty Mode: Build a college football dynasty! Manage your team, recruit star players, and become a national powerhouse.
Fans of the original NCAA Football series will be happy to hear that both Road to Glory and Dynasty Mode make their return. Dynasty Mode in particular offered deep customization options in NCAA Football 14, allowing players to edit conference structures. While it remains to be seen if this feature returns in College Football 25, one thing’s for sure: you’ll have the chance to lead any of the 134 FBS schools to gridiron glory.
With its extensive team selection, classic modes, and unique features, EA Sports College Football 25 is shaping up to be an epic return for the franchise. So, dust off your controllers, mark your calendars for July 19th, and get ready to dominate the college football world!
