Other easily identifiable players include Alabama’s Jalen Milroe and Georgia’s Carson Beck.
EA Sports last released a college football video game in 2013, when Michigan’s Denard Robinson was the cover athlete.
Several Longhorns have been cover athletes for EA Sports’ college football games. Ricky Williams was on the cover of NCAA Football 2000. Brian Orakpo was featured on the Playstation 2 cover of NCAA Football 10.
The game recently released an official trailer. No release date has yet been announced, though its anticipated date is sometime this summer.
What to expect in EA Sports College Football 25?
The original EA college football video game franchise ran from 1998 until 2013. Moving from the Bill Walsh College Football moniker to NCAA Football, the annual game was eventually discontinued. Lawsuits emerged, most notably former UCLA basketball player Ed O’Bannon and 19 others’ decision to sue the NCAA, arguing the organization violated United States antitrust laws by not allowing athletes to make a share of the revenues generated from the use of their in broadcasts and video games.

The video game was last sold in 2013. At the time, EA Sports sold roughly 1.5 million copies. That number is expected to grow exponentially next summer, especially with college football fans waiting more than a decade for the franchise to return.
After months of anticipation, EA formally announced last month the game will be released in the summer of 2024. A full reveal of the upcoming video game will be unveiled in May. The official release date is expected to come in July, the same month previous games have been released.
In a teaser trailer released, EA showed development images of the gates at Beaver Stadium, the Gator head that Florida players touch when running onto the field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and Notre Dame players touching the “Play Like A Champion” sign.
EA also announced the ESPN broadcast crew, which includes Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler, among others. The transfer portal, which has dominated the sport with its one-time transfer rule recently, will also be included. NIL will play a role, too. With conference realignment and an expanded 12-team College Football Playoff, the game will surely have a different feel than NCAA 14, the last time the game was released.
