EA Sports College Football 25: The first game in EA Sports Football Series since 2013, EA Sports Football 25 will feature new strategic and fast-paced gameplay, in-game passing mechanics, and an innovative attrition system that allows players to manage player health, limit their fatigue, and assess injury risk. To make the game more realistic, the host team will have a match advantage in each game: a feature EA Sports calls “Homefield Advantage.” There will be several game modes: including a “Dynasty” mode that lets you build a coach and college football program from scratch; and the “Road to Glory” mode lets you play as a student-athlete and compete for the famous Heisman trophy.
