EA Sports College Football 25 Review - The Final Verdict

  • Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
  • The enthusiasm around American football can't be understated, especially at the college level. While EA Sports delivered on that front with the NCAA Football series, it's been dormant for a long time due to various issues. Against all odds, a sequel finally materialized in College Football 25.
    Boasting thousands of players and numerous teams, several with authentic uniforms and mascots, the attention to detail is simply staggering, bolstered by gorgeous fidelity. There's a significant amount of meat to the experience, from Rise to Glory and Dynasty to Ultimate Team and Road to the College Football Playoffs. One can create a custom player or coach a team to the top.
    College Football 25 has several issues, from omissions in its offline modes to strange design decisions, which can hamper the experience. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable experience that captures the essence of the sport with a solid gameplay framework.

    CFB 25 is undoubtedly better than Madden, but that bar is so low that Idk if that's even a compliment.
    It's a solid game, but there are obvious optimization & presentation issues. And it's surprising how many features are missing from previous titles. Being unable to edit the rosters is a terrible omission in my opinion, but your miles may vary. Overall I think a 7 is about right. They did just enough to satisfy fans who have waited for a decade on the next College Football game.

    It’s a great game and I’d prob give a 7.5. It is amazing but theirs a lot of detail that is missing or needs to be added back from older games pre 2014. 10 years later we got what we wanted that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. The gameplay is so bad at times cpu defenders just not moving, tackling is broken, o line not blocking, wear and tear needs fixing. Theirs more but even the presentations as great as they are for home teams where is the pre game? Rmb old games had game day with corso making pics or players stretching while stats for the season are shown. Theirs no heismen ceremony it’s just a picture that says who won previous games made it little more in depth with how many votes and showing thr pal get picking up trophy. RTG is fun but old ones felt even better it’s on right track but why aren’t more positions available after all these years. The review system is terrible you can’t even see replays or them showing refs doing the review. A halftime show something like nba2k would be nice. The weekly news can be so much better it’s the same titles for every big game week after week and you can’t even look at matchups and see team stats. Not being able to take draft classes to madden etc I can keep going but theirs so much missing still love the game tho but 7/10 is good. Than you for anyone who read 😂

    I waited years for this game, let the nostalgia wear off and you’ll see this game is mid. Players move too fast, OTs won’t even put their hands on DEs if they hit a certain speed threshold off the line. The movement is unrealistic from people in coverage. The presentation is beyond awful and there’s no skipping halftime shows. How about every kicker knocking in kicks from 50. I’m having fun with the game but let’s be realistic here, most of the love it’s getting is nostalgia. Even seen some idiot streamers say this game is sports perfection.

    I think the rating is a bit low, but it's basically what IGN gives every game now days so what's new?
    From my POV, game is solid compared to Madden. The college teams have good atmospheres associated with them and the core football game is fun, and every type of offense feels different to play as and play against. Army feels like Army, and Texas Tech feels like Texas Tech. Defensive AI leaves a lot to be desired, but I don't think any sports game has great AI, even the coveted ESPN NFL 2K5 didn't have "that" great of AI.
    The game is overpriced for what it is but if you want a college sports game, this is the best one out.

      For me, I have very little to novice knowledge on football. I picked this up yesterday, and have been enjoying it ever since. Regardless of what everyone says CFB25 is “lacking”, it’s a very solid football game. The only thing that would make it better for me is a longer career somehow

    I agree , a 7 is good !! The games not perfect, no ea sports will ever be , but it is fun ! And it’s a much better choice than Madden, that’s just a reskin even year with old tec they removed from past games!!!

    This game is basically Madden 25 with a college skin on top of it people swear up and down that they're different games need their eyes checked

      I mean…… people that think EA wasn’t gonna do that are suckers
      EA isn’t putting any extra money in developing the game when they can just convert madden into this 😂
