EA Sports College Football 25 is certainly focusing on the sport’s important details.

Its latest teaser includes a deep dive into the sights and sounds of the soon-to-be-released video game, and how the game’s artists recreated college football’s most important traditions.

Among that long list of traditions is Wisconsin and Minnesota’s battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe, and the winning team “chopping down” the opposing goalposts.

The Badgers won this honor in 2023 with a 28-14 road win over the Gophers. As is custom, departing upperclassmen Tanner Mordecai, Braelon Allen and others took turns “chopping down” the goalposts at Huntington Bank Stadium.

EA Sports was sure to include that tradition in the video game. It even hired actors to mimic the actions, seen specifically in its latest video on X:

July 19 is the release date for the much-anticipated video game. I’d bet on EA Sports staying in the news until that date, especially with its recent ranking of the toughest places to play in college football.
