After 11 years of non-existence, EA – Electronic Arts is once again releasing NCAA FOOTBALL. For many of us this is THE game. We will be discussing this in an upcoming podcast. For this conversation, Rob & I will be joined by my old friend Victor of FAIRDALE KINGS fame. “Back in the day” we had to edit in player names once the game came out and NO ONE put out better rosters more consistently than FAIRDALE KINGS.
EA Sports College Football 25 is set to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on July 19, as announced by EA on Thursday. While the complete unveiling is scheduled for Friday, the publisher has offered a sneak peek at the cover art for both the Standard and Ultimate Editions of the highly anticipated game.
The cover of EA College Football 25 features Donovan Edwards, Quinn Ewers, and Travis Hunter
The cover of EA College Football 25 showcases a dynamic trio comprising Donovan Edwards from Michigan as the running back, Quinn Ewers representing Texas as the quarterback, and Travis Hunter from Colorado as the versatile wide receiver/defensive back. In the Standard Edition, the trio stands at the heart of the stadium, gazing down at the camera, exuding confidence and determination. Conversely, the Ultimate Edition captures them in a striking entrance, their backs turned towards the camera as they stride purposefully into the stadium, evoking a sense of anticipation and intensity.
Accompanying them in the crowd of players are notable figures such as Jalen Milroe from Alabama, Quinshon Judkins from Ohio, and Carson Beck from Georgia, adding to the diverse and compelling narrative of collegiate football excellence depicted on the cover. With this lineup of exceptional talent, EA College Football 25 promises to deliver an immersive and exhilarating gaming experience, celebrating the passion and skill inherent in the sport.
“Donovan, Quinn, and Travis are exceptional talents who captivated and thrilled millions of college football enthusiasts on the field last season, and they’re poised to continue their impressive performances this year,” remarked Daryl Holt, Senior Vice President of EA Sports.
Expressing his gratitude, Ewers shared, “To represent the burnt orange on both the real and virtual gridirons is a tremendous honor. EA Sports games were where I first lived out my childhood dream of playing for the Longhorns, so it’s a surreal moment to now grace the cover of College Football 25.” Similarly, Edwards and Hunter echoed sentiments of pride and honor, with Edwards describing it as a privilege and Hunter expressing pride in representing their respective teams on the game’s cover.
Sports enthusiasts have the option to pre-order the Standard Edition for $70 or opt for the Ultimate Edition priced at $100. Additionally, EA offers the MVP Bundle, featuring the Ultimate Editions of both EA College Football 25 and Madden NFL 25. Priced at $150, the MVP Bundle also grants players three days of early access to both games, offering an enticing opportunity for avid gamers.
