EA Sports College Football 25 Review
USA TODAY Sports was able to play the full game of EA Sports College Football 25 ahead of its release, and the game’s first impressions live up to the huge hype.
The game presentation will amaze any player. The details of each team and stadium are precise, capturing the unique traditions and pageantry of each FBS school. For example, UCLA’s “8 clap” can be heard during games and Hawaii fans celebrate by throwing the shaka. Another aspect of the presentation is the commentary. The commentators highlighted the hours they spent on the game, and there are so many new shots from the booth where the same things aren’t repeated over and over again.
If you were still in doubt that this is a “Madden reskin,” the gameplay should tell you. It really does feel like you’re playing an updated version of NCAA Football 14. The movements are crisp, but there are nuances in what’s required to execute the actions. After playing a few games, there were no crazy animations. Passing is much more precise, and the quality of your quarterback will determine how easy – or difficult – it is to get the ball through the air. However, it won’t take long to realize how much fun running the ball is. Players will be richly rewarded for finding the open lanes, and outwitting defenders will put a smile on anyone’s face.
Dynasty mode is the mode that everyone loves, and players will remember how much time it takes to build a program. Becoming a Hall of Fame coach is a process, and it will definitely take time to become a national powerhouse if you start with a low-prestige school. Recruiting feels much more personalized and realistic to the point that you become attached to these recruits that you are desperate to sign with your team, happy if you get them and disappointed if you don’t. The game’s presentation is also more in-depth in Dynasty mode with commentary on how a team’s season unfolds and the domino effects in the world of college football.
Road to Glory is a mode that everyone should try at least once. It’s fast-paced but also has levels that make each experience unique. It has fun moments, like cheating on a test or skipping your night class for that midnight party, but it also makes every decision you make count. Focus on becoming a leader and your player will have confidence, but if those grades drop, you won’t be able to play.
If there is one thing to say about the game, it is that players will have to remember that this is truly a new game and that it will take hours to become truly good. Player ratings matter, and if you are playing a star player, it will take a tremendous effort to slow him down. For example, in an exhibition game, there was no answer to stopping Zachariah Branch of Southern California. This also brings us to the next point: playing defense is tough. College football is all about offense, and it shows. It was hard to get many stops and force punts. The majority of games played were shootouts. Kicking is also much more difficult; power and accuracy meters are very sensitive, and field goals beyond 35 yards are not guaranteed. We can confirm that the Clarence TC Ching Athletics Complex in Hawaii is not in the game, but there is clearly something going on between EA Sports and Hawaii over who is to blame.
Those who have been waiting over a decade for this game should rejoice. EA Sports College Football 25 delivers.
