A Look Back at Previous Success

Last year’s release of EA Sports College Football 25 was met with tremendous success, revitalizing a franchise that had been dormant for a decade. As we approach the 2025 launch, fans are eager to see if this upcoming installment can replicate or even expand upon that triumph. With sports titles consistently showing strong sales year after year, it’s likely that the dedicated fanbase, which flocked to the previous college football game, will be looking for more than just one release this time around.
