247Sports college football analyst Josh Pate released a full preview of the Wisconsin Badgers in the upcoming EA Sports College Football 25 video game.
The 47-second video includes information on the player ratings of some of the Badgers’ most important players — including QB Tyler Van Dyke, RB Chez Mellusi, WR Will Pauling, RT Riley Mahlman, LT Jack Nelson, S Hunter Wohler and CB Ricardo Hallman. It also gives a preview of the gameplay of the soon-to-be-released game.

Wisconsin is the 18th-best team in the video game, trailing notable Big Ten programs including Ohio State (No. 2 overall), Oregon (No. 3), Penn State (No. 9) and Michigan (No. 11).
The team is led by the defensive duo of S Wohler (90 OVR) and CB Hallman (91 OVR), with a promising offensive attack highlighted by QB Van Dyke (83 OVR), RB Mellusi (84 OVR), WR Pauling (86 OVR), LT Nelson (87 OVR) and RT Mahlman (87 OVR).
It is likely to be better than the 2023 Badgers who finished with a 7-6 record. But the big question is how much better, and how much will that improvement matter against a gauntlet schedule.

Wisconsin would be a fun program to take over in EA College Football 25’s dynasty mode. The 2024 schedule sees opportunities for big-time home wins against Alabama, Oregon and Penn State. But as mentioned, the program has real room for improvement after consecutive 7-6 seasons. That gives the potential for a fun and rewarding build.
The much-anticipated video game will be released to the public on July 19.
