As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that EA Sports College Football 25 has truly outshone its competitors and left an indelible mark on the gaming world. Having grown up during the heyday of NCAA Football, it’s like a long-lost friend has finally returned to grace our screens once again.

Although EA Sports College Football 25 didn’t show up at The Game Awards, it managed something potentially more impactful. Since its summer debut, College Football 25 has risen to become one of the top-selling sports games available. The comeback of EA Sports in the college football world has been significant, particularly since the game now features real athletes.

As reported by Mat Piscatella, the Executive Director and Video Game Industry Analyst at Circana (NPD), EA Sports College Football 25 has achieved the title of “the highest-selling sports video game in U.S. history.

Absolutely, let me clarify that this pertains specifically to the United States of America, not the world as a whole. Despite that, EA Sports’ FC Series continues to be their top revenue generator globally. But, it’s still a significant achievement for College Football 25. Notably, it outperformed other major sports titles such as Madden NFL and NBA 2K within the U.S. market.

A significant portion of the game’s achievement is due to its long-awaited comeback after a break of eleven years. Fans have been eagerly waiting for over a decade to experience a fresh College Football title. Notably, College Football 25 distinguishes itself from its predecessor, NCAA Football 14, by incorporating real players, a feature that was missing in the latter. You can now control and play with stars such as Travis Hunter, Ashton Jeanty, and others.

1) CFB 25 has a broad appeal due to its inclusion of all 134 FBS teams, creating an exciting dynamic for players. This diversity makes Dynasty Mode even more enjoyable since it offers numerous teams to control and compete against. Imagine putting Middle Tennessee in the Big Ten – it’s possible! You can experiment with smaller programs, challenging giants like Georgia in the College Football playoffs.

To conclude, the anticipation for the game prior to its release was truly remarkable. EA Sports benefited significantly from unpaid publicity, with the buzz spreading organically among people. They shared memes, recorded videos portraying themselves as coaches, and so on. This collective enthusiasm played a crucial role in EA Sports’ promotional strategies.

Despite our fondness for College Football 25, we’re concerned that EA Sports might grow complacent with its development. The Madden NFL series has experienced stagnation in the past, and there’s a risk it could happen with College Football 26 as well. We’d like to stay positive, believing that EA is genuinely committed to enhancing the series rather than gradually altering it. Here are some suggestions we’ve come up with for improvements.
