College Football 25: Everything You Need to Know

EA Sports is gearing up for the highly anticipated release of College Football 25, set to hit Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on July 19. A recent event in Orlando offered a sneak peek to select journalists and content creators, revealing some exciting features and updates.

Among the confirmed features, fans can look forward to custom playbooks and a revamped play menu reminiscent of Madden. With 134 playbooks and custom audibles, the game promises a rich and varied tactical experience. Additionally, real stadium songs like "Mo Bamba" and "Zombie Nation" aim to amp up the in-game atmosphere.

Dynasty Mode will see the return of the Coaching Carousel, allowing players to step into the shoes of a head coach or coordinator. Both Dynasty and Road to Glory modes will incorporate NIL deals, with the latter featuring five playable positions: QB, WR, RB, MLB, and CB. Also, Road to Glory players can export their characters to Madden 25 Superstar.

However, not all fan-favorite features are making a comeback. Mascot Mode, ESPN branding, and College Gameday won’t be part of this edition. There’s also no cross-play for Online Dynasty, and due to player licensing issues, you won’t be able to port draft classes from College Football 25 to Madden 25 or edit real-player attributes.

With an accelerated pace and an emphasis on option offense, College Football 25 aims to provide a revitalized and dynamic gaming experience. The game features physics-based tackling along with overhauled passing and kicking mechanics, which enhance its realism. As the release date draws near, additional information will likely be revealed. However, the confirmed features already present an exciting glimpse of what lies ahead.
