If you're like me and loved playing sports games on your video game system from an early age, there was one game you looked forward to every summer. EA Sports' new college football game. True, the players didn't have real names, but all the teams were there. All bowl games were the same. You can also start a dynasty and see if you can get the top players in the country to come to your school. But then the series went on hiatus for more than a decade.

Thanks to his NIL in college sports, players received compensation to use their names in this year's games.
That's right, the players are on the cover this year!

According to IGN, those who purchase the Deluxe Edition or MVP Bundle will get access to the game three days early. EA Sports released the first trailer for the game on Friday. Needless to say… we can't wait!
It's all there. Everything that makes college football great. All stadiums. Dear mascots. Every sideline tradition, including the one made famous at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City! Yes, the Iowa Wave has advanced to College Football 25!
