EA Sports College Football 25 has shared more details about its development, including how participating student-athletes are paid and whether real-life coaches are featured. This news comes after EA Sports College Football 25 recently unveiled its first trailer.
Last week, College Football 25's trailer revealed its logo, reveal month, and some of the schools that will be featured in the game. Unfortunately, the teaser did not show any gameplay but did confirm that a full reveal is coming later this year in May, ahead of the game's release sometime this summer. Following College Football 25's initial announcement years ago, some wondered how EA would approach the use of real-life college athletes.
A report from ESPN revealed EA's strategy for rewarding players who opt-in to being featured in College Football 25. Any FBS player can opt-in, and those who do will receive a payment of $600 and a free copy of the game. EA further explained that certain players will have the potential to sign more lucrative Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals with the company. EA also revealed that real-life coaches will not be featured in College Football 25. This means that generic characters will replace recognizable figures like Dabo Swinney, Deion Sanders, and Kirby Smart on the sideline. However, EA confirmed that it's working on ways to allow coaches to opt-in in future titles. This year's game does not have an exact release date yet, but previous rumors may have hinted at when fans can expect College Football 25 to debut.
The new report revealed plenty more details about College Football 25, including that it will feature all 134 FBS teams, the new 12-team playoff format, and all bowl games. This comes as big news for college football fans, who weren't sure whether legal issues would impact College Football 25's lineup of schools. However, fans of FCS programs are out of luck for now, although EA confirmed that it's working on ways to include these schools in future games.
EA further explained that although College Football 25 will run on the same engine as the somewhat controversial Madden franchise, the new game will have its own distinct look and feel. As part of development for College Football 25, EA gathered sounds, stadium renderings, photos, and more to replicate each stadium's experience as accurately as possible. Each stadium will incorporate details like on-field statues and trophies and will even have accurate seats.

MultiVersus was the biggest game in the world for about a week, before an iffy Battle Pass and tardy updates plunged its appeal, and prompted Player1stGames to unexpectedly pull the whole thing offline. The release was never meant to disappear entirely, of course, and the developer has been beavering away on some important updates behind-the-scenes. Now it appears it’s finally poised to return.

There’s a reason why fans are mostly excited about the full unveiling of EA Sports College Football 25. It’s been quite a while since the last college football video game, and many feel that college football is as good as it’s been in a while, especially thanks to the college football playoff that’s been going on for a decade. But there was always a “sticky wicket,” if you will, with the original titles. While they tended to use the players’ likenesses within the games and post the best players on the cover like the NFL version did, they never paid the players to use their likenesses.
