Is Texas A&M featured in the new EA Sports College Football 25 cover?

Time to put your “Where’s Waldo?” had on!

It’s been an arduous 11 years and counting for fans of the NCAA Football franchise. A decade-plus-long pause due to NIL-related issues existed before Name, Image, and Likeness reached its current chaotic but accepted form in the college football landscape.

However, good news is on the way, as EA Sports is set to release within the next two months. The cover of the deluxe edition made its way to the public on Friday, as college football fans can begin to celebrate the game’s imminent arrival a bit early.

The debate regarding who would grace the cover, whether it be a current or former athlete or coach, the deluxe edition went the collective route, including an assortment of veteran starts from a bevy of blue blood programs.

Some players who stood out include Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers, Michigan RB Donovan Edwards, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, and Colorado ATH Travis Hunter. For Texas A&M, are the Aggies even included? Well, credit to Good Bull Hunting’s Robert Behrens, who pointed out that the Maroon & White have barely made the cut!

Who do we think the unidentified player is? My guess is redshirt sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman. Even though his number isn’t visible, his recognition and importance to the team are undeniable heading into head coach Mike Elko’s inaugural campaign.

EA Sports College Football 25 deluxe edition finally listed, but when will it release?

If you look closely, you might find a Penn State football helmet in this official EA Sports College Football 25 online store listing.

We are getting closer to the release of EA Sports College Football 25, the title that will revive the video game giant’s dormant college football video game franchise for the first time in over a decade (11 years to be exact, but who’s counting?). While the wait continues for a new trailer and an official release date, the title has started to make its way to the digital storefronts.

On Friday, the PlayStation Store from Sony listed EA Sports College Football 25, thus giving us a look at a possible cover for the deluxe edition of the game. In the image attached to Sony’s digital store featured the likenesses of six different current players, the first for the franchise as you may well know by now.

The game is also currently appearing on Microsoft’s online Xbox store, but there is no release date attached yet. The Xbox store listing also does not feature the same image shown on the PlayStation Store.

The six players prominently shown are Michigan’s Donovan Edwards, Colorado’s Travis Hunter, Texas‘ Quinn Ewers, Ohio State’s Quinshon Judkins, Georgia’s Carson Beck, and Alabama’s Jalen Milroe. A number of other schools are shown in the image as players are coming out of a tunnel. If you look closely off to the right of the image, what appears to be a Penn State helmet may be seen.

Of course, the apparent lack of a blue stripe could suggest this is not a Penn State helmet after all. A helmet directly above Beck’s Georgia helmet could bt a possible candidate as well for a Penn State helmet, but it is hard to tell if there is an apparent logo on the left side of the helmet or if that is an air hole in the helmet sticking out.

What we do know is that Penn State will be, to borrow a phrase from EA Sports, in the game. A number of Penn State players have confirmed they will be included in the game as well, including running back Nick Singleton. Now we just need to get a confirmed release date.

EA Sports College Football 25 is expected to release on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S this summer. Sorry Nintendo Switch owners, but we are out of luck on this one, unfortunately. But maybe there is hope for EA Sports College Football 26 on the successor to the Switch next year?

Is Clemson on the cover of EA Sports College Football 25? Well, sort of

Did you catch the Clemson football player on the cover of EA Sports College Football 25?

A Clemson Tigers player will be featured on the cover of the new EA Sports College Football 25 video game.

Kind of.

A photo of the game’s “Deluxe Edition” cover was released Friday morning by PlayStation Store. It features the back of a Clemson helmet resting on the head of a computer-generated Tigers player.

On close-up, the Clemson helmet is situated between likenesses of Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe and Michigan running back Chase Edwards.

Edwards and Milroe were two of six names that made the video game’s cover. Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers and Colorado quarterback Travis Hunter joined Edwards as the most prominently featured names on the cover.

Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins and Georgia quarterback Carson Beck were the two other names visible on the cover of EA Sports College Football 25, which will be the first college football video game released since 2013.

Other helmets spotted on the game’s cover were those of Oregon, Notre Dame, Florida, Arizona, and BYU. Flags of schools such as Kansas State, Iowa, Nebraska and Auburn (among others) were featured as well.

The game’s official release date is scheduled for some time later this summer, EA has said. The company has reportedly agreed with over 10,000 student-athletes on name, image and likeness deals.

Over 5,000 college football players have opted in to be in EA Sports College Football 25

EA Sports confirms over 5,000 players have confirmed they will be in the long-awaited college football video game this year.

When Penn State running back Nick Singleton announced on his Instagram feed that he had opted in to officially be included in the upcoming release of EA Sports College Football 25, he was clearly not alone. According to a representative from EA Sports, over 5,000 college football players have already opted in to have their name, image, and likeness included in the long-awaited revival of the gaming publisher’s iconic college football video game franchise.

“More than 5,000 college athletes have opted-in across more than 130 FBS schools… in less than 12 hours,” John Reseburg, VP of Global Marketing, Communications, and Partnerships for EA Sports, said in a message on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account last Thursday. “The total keeps growing.”

By now, it is unknown just what that number has escalated too, although it should not be surprising to know college football players around the country, including at Penn State, are taking advantage of the opportunity to capitalize on their inclusion in the game.

EA Sports is reportedly providing a $600 NIL payment to any college football player who chooses to opt-in to be included in the game, which will be releasing sometime this summer (official release date to be announced in May). Each player opting in will also receive a free copy of the game for whichever gaming console they choose.

EA Sports has not released a college football video game since 2013 with the release of NCAA Football 14. Legal battles over NIL got too heavy to deal with and schools and conferences began backing out of being included in the game, putting the beloved franchise on the shelf waiting for the right time to properly bring the game back to the masses.

Now in the era of NIL in college sports, the time is now.

It has been reported that while the basic deal for athletes will be for $600 and a free copy of the game, some athletes will receive wealthier NIL packages as brand ambassadors for the game. It is assumed Singleton is in that category based on his recent Instagram post.

Penn State RB Nick Singleton will be in EA Sports College Football 25

EA Sports College Football 25 will include this star Penn State running back.

College football video game fans are in for a real treat later this summer when EA Sports finally brings its college football video game franchise back from the dead. EA Sports College Football 25 is set for a summer release, with a confirmed launch date still to be announced. But the video game giant is busy getting the hype started months ahead of schedule with schools and players being confirmed to be included in the first iteration of a college football video game in over a decade.

Penn State has confirmed it will be included in the game, and a computer rendering of the Nittany Lion mascot was seen in the first official video tease of the upcoming title from EA Sports recently. And now details have come out confirming how players choosing to be a part of the game will be compensated. Every FBS player is eligible to opt-in to being included in the game for a return of $600 and a free copy of the game from EA Sports. Among those who have announced they are opting in is Penn State running back [autotag]Nick Singleton[/autotag].

Singleton posted a graphic on his Instagram account this week confirming he is in the game. It has been reported EA Sports will have increased packages for some more notable athletes who become ambassadors for the franchise. Judging by the graphic and the hashtag used on Singleton’s Instagram post, it may be safe to assume Singleton is a part of that marketing strategy.

EA Sports College Football is expected to be made available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. There are no reports of the game being made available on Nintendo Switch or PC at this time, which would be a real bummer for those of us dreaming of taking the game on the go with the Switch (honestly, I’d be perfectly fine if EA Sports decided to serve up a port of NCAA Football 14 with updated rosters and dump it on the Switch).

The official reveal of the game will come in May.

According to ESPN, Thursday was also the first day that college football players could begin opting to participate in the video game. The report said players would receive $600 and a free game copy.With the momentum of this game hitting a fever pitch and the fact that we are getting closer to release, we decided to look at how Duke may look when the game is released.Without further ado, here’s a look at who we think will be the five highest-rated Blue Devils in the new game when it releases this summer.

ESPN reporter Holly Rowe has a message for EA Sports College Football 25: ‘Don’t forget about women’

Holly Rowe makes an important point about EA Sports College Football 25.

EA Sports College Football 25 is set to drop, and ESPN analyst Holly Rowe has an important message for the iconic game brand.

Don’t forget about women in the game.

With the return of EA Sports College Football announced this week, there has been a rollout of news about the game. From players being able to opt-into the game to news about the announcers (Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler among others), there is absolute excitement about the game’s return.

But on Thursday night, Rowe brought about a great point about the game. A highly respected sideline reporter for ESPN, Rowe doesn’t ask cookie-cutter questions. And she didn’t with her post on social media.

 

Rowe has been with ESPN since 1998. She is a regular on the sidelines for ESPN’s marquee college football games throughout the fall.

She also works for the Utah Jazz as an on-air analyst.

Former Georgia Bulldog, ESPN commentator David Pollack to be included in new CFB video game

EA Sports gets it right by including former UGA All-American David Pollack

Georgia Bulldogs fans weren’t happy when ESPN dropped former UGA All-American David Pollack from the “College Gameday” set last year. The good news for Georgia faithful is Pollack will be included as a commentator in EA Sports’ new college football video game.

On Thursday, programs throughout the country announced their participation in “EA Sports College Football 25”. The highly-anticipated game has been in the works since 2021 when new name, image and likeness (NIL) rules allowed for student-athletes to be compensated for their likeness. The game was discontinued in 2014 due to previous NIL issues.

Georgia is one of 134 Football Bowl Subdivision schools to be included. Fans will be able to play Between the Hedges with UGA players who elect to opt-in. EA Sports is paying $600 plus a copy of the game (approximately worth $70) athletes who choose to do so.

Star quarterback Carson Beck is the first Georgia player to announce his participation. He’ll likely be one of the highest-rated players in the game.

Joining Pollack as commentators are Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler, Jesse Palmer and Kevin Connors. While players and college football figure heads will be featured, coaches like Kirby Smart won’t be in this year’s version of the game.

EA Sports’ projects a summer release, although no specific date has been announced.

 

The most important things Oregon fans should know about EA Sports College Football 25

A lot of new information was released about the new EA Sports College Football 25 video game, so here’s what Oregon Duck fans need to know.

Last week, college football fans got a pleasant surprise when the official announcement came out for EA Sports College Football 25, the return of a beloved video game that is set for this summer.

Since that initial announcement, more and more details have started to come out about what, and who will actually be included in the game, and what type of game play fans will be able to expect.

There is a lot of information out there, both expected and unexpected, and still a lot of speculation about what the game will look like, and when it will ultimately be released in the summer months. However, we’ve gotten a lot of answers to questions this past week.

I’ve taken the information we’ve gleaned and applied it to fans of the Oregon Ducks, giving a better view of what the game might look likee for them in the future. Here’s what Duck fans need to know about the game:

Blue Devils confirm they are in EA Sports College Football 25

Duke football will officially be included in EA Sports College Football 25, the return of the highly anticipated college football video game series.

It was probably a foregone conclusion for most Duke fans at this point, but the Blue Devils are officially in the game.

Duke football announced on Thursday through social media that the team would be included in EA Sports College Football 25 when it releases this summer.

Blue Devil fans will (more than likely) be able to work with new quarterback transfer Maalik Murphy and other Duke stars as they build a dynasty in Durham.

Coaches, like new Blue Devils leader Manny Diaz, will reportedly not be in the game.

An ESPN report on Thursday said players do need to opt in for their name, image, and likeness to be used in the new game. Players would be compensated $600 and a free copy of the game if they chose to do so.

The game does not yet have an official release date, but it is expected in the summer of 2024.
