EA Sports College Football 25 Reviews
A shockingly great college football a decade in the making, College Football 25 is arguably the best modern console sport title to date.
EA College Football 25 is the best football game released in years and is a must-play for fans of the genre.
I haven't had this much fun with video game football in years and years, and it's been cool to witness the unifying power of EA Sports College Football 25. It's been the runaway hit of the summer and has secured an immediate seat at the sports pop culture table. I was legitimately sad when this series dropped off years and years ago, and its return - even with its flaws - was cause for celebration. College Football 25 clearly understood the assignment. Now we'll see what happens next.
The return of the college football franchise is a pleasant surprise, and the gameplay of EA Sports College Football 25 does not disappoint. However, the content of the game is another matter and the quality is not as clear. It's not that the content is bad, it's just that the developers play it too safe in terms of modes. So even if this is your first time with the series, you'll be very familiar with how these modes work and what to expect from them from the other games.

EA Sports College Football 25 is an excellent sports game, not only because of the American football gameplay, but also because of the collection of excellent single-player modes capable of keeping the player engaged for dozens of hours on end.

EA Sports College Football 25 makes up for some wonky menus and a lack of tentpole modes by bringing the good stuff where it matters. The gridiron action here is fast and snappy, offense feels fantastically responsive, and defensive plays are easier to read and consider thanks to a combination of clear layouts and more time and space on the ball. It looks great, sounds great, plays great and has thusly become our (American) football game of choice going forward. Madden 25, it's over to you.
College Football 25 is a very well-made football game that is more about the game than anything else. Maybe because what matters more is the team you use, not the players, but it has me hooked for whatever reason.
While it has some performance issues and can be challenging for new players, its depth and variety make it a worthwhile experience for fans of college football. The integration with Madden 25 adds an extra layer of continuity for those looking to extend their football careers from college to the NFL. It’s been too long but finally, College football is back and better than ever!
College Football 25 is a pleasant introduction to the exciting sport of American football. The game looks visually stunning, and it's impressive how many licenses it has. The atmosphere is completely different from Madden. However, the game also shares many similarities. The gameplay is relatively the same, which makes sense given that it's the same sport. Unfortunately, the game doesn't offer much depth. Road to Glory is simply boring, and we're all too familiar with Ultimate Team by now. Additionally, the UI could use some work. Menus are cluttered, the music gets tiresome after a while, and on-field indicators are nearly unreadable from a distance. That being said, College Football 25 has enormous potential, and it's worth waiting for the next iteration, which will likely take a big step forward.

EA Sports could have done the easiest thing and reskinned the Madden engine and this would have still sold millions, so for them to not take that route I think they should be commended. College Football 25 is a definite buy for the college and pro football fan alike.
Finally being able to retire my old copy of NCAA Football 14 for Xbox 360, I was so happy to find that EA Sports College Football 25 was all I wanted and more in its return. There is still room to improve in some areas like with the bugs or additional game modes in the future, but this is a fantastic jumping back on point for the franchise after more than 10 years. For anybody who loved the original series or is just tired of the usual Madden formula, EA Sports College Football 25 may be just the game you’re looking for as it is a love letter to what makes college football so special from the bottom to the top.
College Football 25 had over a decade of expectations and wishlists to overcome, but EA has managed to relaunch the series with a gem of a game. That said, some modes like Road to Glory feel underbaked and it's not exactly friendly to newcomers.
Initially, the expectation for EA Sports College Football 25 was that it was just a reskin of the Madden franchise. EA has proven us wrong with that narrative as College Football 25 brings exciting gameplay and has new systems that cause players to think more about their strategies. The in-game presentation is great and the only downfall currently is the lack of modes. This might be the best EA Sports title we’ve seen in quite a while.
EA SPORTS College Football 25 adeptly brings the joy and chaos of college football to life in a breathtaking way. Nothing has ever captured that gameday feel quite like this and fans should rejoice that the franchise they know and love is back and better than ever for them and new generations to enjoy.
EA Sports College Football 25 was certainly worth the wait. It’s the most fun I’ve had in a football game in years and has a distinct feel that makes it more than just Madden with collegiate players and teams.
Being the first college football game in a decade also works heavily in favor of College Football 25. Were this an annual franchise, elements like its clunky UI may be more of a sticking point. However, as it stands now, College Football 25 will bea must-play for any hardcore college football fans, and the excitement of the new release helps players ignore some of its flaws.
College Football 25 is a good return to form for the series after an 11-year absence. All 134 FBS teams have been recreated with exceptional detail, from the stadiums to the playbooks. While there is a lot left to be desired, CFB25 is a great platform that Tiburon can build off of for the future. It's nowhere near perfect, but it's a ton of fun. It's safe to say that EA has mostly delivered.
