Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler will be in EA Sports College Football 25 and fans are pumped

College Football 25 will feature Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler and some other big names as commentators.

New details about the upcoming EA Sports College Football 25 game continue to trickle out, and on Thursday we learned more about the commentators in the game.

Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, David Pollack, Jesse Palmer and Kevin Connors all announced their involvement in the game Thursday, and the news was met with excitement from fans looking for an authentic broadcast experience. Each of the broadcast veterans has a familiar voice from their respective tenures at ESPN, and Herbstreit, who remains on College GameDay, was in EA’s last college football game, NCAA Football 14.

The news came on the same day it was announced players could begin opting in to have their name, image and likeness reflected in the game. It only added to the hype around the game’s eventual release.

EA Sports is offering athletes $600 to appear in College Football 25

Players who opt-in to College Football 25 get $600 and a copy of the game.

EA Sports began the opt-in process Thursday for its upcoming College Football 25 video game, allowing players an opportunity to get paid for their name, image and likeness.

Over 11,000 college football players will now have the choice to receive $600 and a copy of the game if they agree to appear in it, and according to The Athletic, EA is recommending those athletes opt in by April 30 to guarantee their place in this year’s version of the game.

According to ESPN, no services are expected for athletes to be compensated the $600, and they’ll be paid no matter the game’s success. However, EA Sports will have more than 100 additional NIL opportunities for things like social media posts and on-campus promotions.

Athletes who opt in will remain in the game for the entirety of their careers and be paid annually, though they have the option to opt out of future editions. Players who transfer but remain on a roster will continue to be paid.

All 134 FBS schools have agreed to be in the game, which releases this summer. Up to 85 players per school will appear on the initial rosters.

EA Sports releases teaser trailer for ‘College Football 25’ video game

WATCH: EA Sports releases teaser trailer for new ‘College Football 25’ video game

Football fans have been waiting over a decade for a new college football video game and EA Sports is finally ready to deliver the goods this summer.

On Thursday, a teaser trailer for EA’s “College Football 2025” was released with a full game reveal promised in May. The last college football game to come out was NCAA 14, which dropped back in 2013 before a lawsuit over the use of player likenesses forced developers to stop production.

EA’s “College Football 25” is due out this summer. Check out the official teaser trailer below.

Every EA NCAA Football cover star since 1993

The future of EA’s college football series may be uncertain, but for now, here’s a walk through 20 years of NCAA Football cover stars.

[anyclip-media thumbnail=”undefined” playlistId=”undefined” content=”PHNjcmlwdCBzcmM9Imh0dHBzOi8vcGxheWVyLnBvcHRvay5jb20vYW55Y2xpcC13aWRnZXQvbHJlLXdpZGdldC9wcm9kL3YxL3NyYy9scmUuanMiIGRhdGEtYXI9IjE2OjkiIHB1Ym5hbWU9IjE5OTgiIHdpZGdldG5hbWU9IjAwMTZNMDAwMDJVMEIxa1FBRl9NODMzNSI+Cjwvc2NyaXB0Pg==”][/anyclip-media]

EA’s NCAA Football cover stars operated on a different principle for a while compared to the spotlight athletes in other sports games. NCAA rules forbade college athletes from appearing on the cover, so you nearly always saw an NFL rookie sporting their jersey from a few years previously – usually with at least one trophy or high recognition under their belt as well. EA wasn’t afraid to get a bit silly with the NCAA franchise either. At one point, the publisher honored the community’s voice and made a mascot the star of an NCAA game.

The franchise came to a messy end in 2014, as licensing issues and debates over the appropriate use of player likenesses brought EA’s college football days to a halt. It may be coming back soon, but for now, here’s a walk through 20 years of NCAA Football cover stars.

EA’s College Football 25 video game is officially back, with a teaser trailer and everything

It’s back. It’s finally back.

It’s been nearly a decade since college football fans could boot up their Xboxes, Playstations or PCs, grab a controller and halfback angle their way to a national title. EA Sports gave up its annual release of NCAA Football after the 2014 edition — so long ago the cover athlete was Michigan star Denard Robinson.

Concerns about student athlete compensation rights in the aftermath of Ed O’Bannon’s Supreme Court win over the NCAA in 2015 effectively shuttered the series. But with name, image and likeness rules now allowing players to monetize their college careers, a pathway was created to allow the beloved franchise to rise from the ashes like a phoenix. Specifically the kind of phoenix that runs the option and takes Ball State to the national championship.

Years of speculation have finally given way to a concrete announcement. While the name has changed from “NCAA Football” to “College Football,” EA’s back in the game — and the next installment comes out this summer.

Fans were excited enough to watch the teaser — which features zero actual gameplay — 1.5 million times in the first half hour the post was online. This was merely a puddle in a desert of college football video gaming, and folks bathed in it like an oasis. And hell, if it means I get a chance to guide Vanderbilt football to an SEC championship, I’m ready to dive in myself.

Who are 5 of the best players to never grace the cover of MLB: The Show?

Who are some of the best players that have never been on the cover of the best MLB video game franchise?

Recently, San Diego Studios released the new cover athlete for MLB: The Show and that got me thinking, who are some of the best players that have never been on the cover of the best MLB video game franchise?

For reference, here’s the list of all of the cover athletes for MLB: The Show starting back in 1998. I noticed there were a few big names left out to shout out.

Keep in mind, that these are just my opinions! A lot of you may disagree on a few of these. Before we get into it, I’ll tell you the teams these five players played for to see if you can guess them.

No. 5 – St. Louis Cardinals

No. 4 – Arizona Diamondbacks

No. 3 – San Diego Padres

No. 2 – New York Yankees

No. 1 – Los Angeles Angels

Palworld patch changes: Latest patch to fix more critical issues

A look at the notes from the latest patch for Palworld.

While Palworld has enjoyed incredible success since going into early access on Jan. 19, with a grand total of 19 million copies sold between Steam and Xbox, there have been several critical issues that have popped up.

That is to be expected with a game in early access, but the developer behind Palworld, Pocketpair, is already hard at work in trying to fix said issues and has deployed yet another patch.

The patch has already been released for Steam users, but Xbox players will have to wait a bit longer, although the exact date for the patch’s implementation has yet to be announced.

Regardless, Palworld continues to move in the right direction in terms of getting out fixes — and more will be deployed down the road.

Now, a look at what was fixed in the most recent patch.

Every MLB: The Show cover star since 1997

Let’s look at every MLB: The Show cover athlete from the past two and a half decades.

For more than two decades, MLB The Show has been a strong contender for the “best sports game” crown. No doubt because Sony has heavily invested in its success for all these years.

We’ve decided to look back on the entire series and see which athletes graced the cover. By that, we mean every installment – from the original nine MLB series developed by 989 Sports, to when Sony’s San Diego Studio took over in 2006 with the “The Show” subtitle. 

As a heads-up, we’re listing editions released in the United States – so no image variants from other regions. However, we’ll mention those athletes in the notes! There’s a lot of history to cover here, so let’s jump into it!

Palworld base-building tips for the perfect home

Need some tips for building your base in Palworld? We have you covered!

The major thing that separates Palworld from Pokemon titles is the fact that there is a survival/crafting element to the former. Combining those elements with capturing creatures has proven to be quite the successful recipe for Pocket Pair, the developer behind Palworld.

Knowing that, base-building is a key feature in the game and going about it the right way can greatly help your cause when it comes to getting the resources you need to craft all the important items in the game.

Putting together an ideal base doesn’t just involve building pretty things. The location and overall layout of your structures can make a huge difference in how well your base and Pals work for you, and how well you’ll be able to thwart enemy raids.

That said, let’s take a look at a slew of base-building tips that will help you early on and a bit later in the game once you’ve leveled up some.
