One of the most popular franchises of all-time looks to be making a return to your video game consoles in 2023; EA Sports NCAA Football.
The game that’s been on the proverbial shelf since its last release in 2013 is making a return in the new era of college football that provides opportunities for players to earn through name, image, and likeness.
While they haven’t come out with a new title in nearly a decade, NCAA Football 2014 is still incredibly popular among sports gamers who have been able to continue playing online through Playstation consoles.
Rumor has it that nearly 120 teams are currently on board and EA Sports is working with them to get authentic sounds and crowd noises for its gameplay.
EA Sports is on track for a July 2023 release of its college football game, according to records obtained by @mattbrownep.
