EA Sports College Football is expected to be a major release, marking the first college football video game since 2013 after an 11-year hiatus. Previously, games like Bill Walsh College Football and NCAA College Football were popular, featuring modes such as dynasty, ultimate team, and Road to Glory, where players could rise to stardom.
The hiatus stemmed from disputes involving NCAA regulations on amateurism and the use of college athletes’ likenesses. The introduction of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) rights for student-athletes has paved the way for the game’s return, allowing athletes to be featured in the game with their real names, images, and the ability to profit from their likeness.
Electronic Arts has collaborated with One Team Partners and CLC to navigate these changes, opening opportunities for over 15,000 current student-athletes to participate in merchandise and video game deals. With anticipation building, the new release is poised to exceed previous sales figures, reflecting renewed interest in college football gaming.
