College Football 25: Tom Sutton Coaching Career: Episode 1

EA Sports College Football 25 brings college football back. Steven Thomas helps guide Texas State Bobcat star Tom Sutton as he starts his career as an offensive coordinator at his alma mater and tries to follow in the footsteps of his old Coach Conquest and win a National Title. Will it happen? We shall soon find out.
EA Sports College Football (formerly known as Bill Walsh College Football, College Football USA and NCAA Football) is an American football video game series developed by EA Sports in which players control and compete against current Division I FBS college teams. It served as a college football counterpart to the Madden NFL series. The series began in 1993 with the release of Bill Walsh College Football. EA eventually acquired the licensing rights to the NCAA name and officially rechristened the series with the release of NCAA Football 98.
In July 2013, the NCAA announced that it would not renew its licensing contract with Electronic Arts because of an ongoing legal dispute regarding the use of player likenesses in the games. However, this contract only covered the use of the NCAA name and related logos, not those of individual schools and conferences, which are negotiated individually or through the Collegiate Licensing Company. The CLC concurrently announced that it would extend its existing licensing deal with EA through 2017, ensuring that EA Sports could continue the series without the NCAA branding and EA made plans to continue the series under the old College Football name. However, the series was placed on hiatus in September 2013, following three major conferences pulling their trademark licenses from EA, and uncertainties surrounding the results of lawsuits involving the use of player likenesses in-game.
In February 2021, Electronic Arts announced that the series would be returning for next-gen platforms no earlier than summer 2023.During an interview with ESPN.com in November 2022, an EA Sports executive revealed that the game would be released in mid-2024 "because of the enormous undertaking of creating the game from scratch".

13:05 One of them is a good year for me as well

[@Grimith]

That Motivator skill tree is real unsatisfying for your first year since Tier 1 is completely dead - and, situationally, might *continue* to be dead. Do you know how much bonus XP the tier provides? Will that actually worthwhile, or are we roleplaying our dreams here? 16:02 - Good news, it's raining, Tom's got all the water he needs. Was this game's passing output a quirk of the rain, the player learning the game, or straight-up greed? We might get some real insight into how Horne performed in NCAA 14... ;)

[@StevenThomasGaming]

@@Grimith All of the above is the answer. Alot of the mechanics are madden based. I have no played a madden since madden 14 I believe. Learning curve, rain, and 3videbtly you have to know xs and os to be successful on Heisman. I gotta study up.

[@jon-pauluriarte4680]

1st off glad to see Coach Sutton back on the field where it started for him. 2nd what was that punt @14:12?! Hey! Your 1st points in the new game @15:56 Your 1st touchdown! @17:56 Nice deep throw @28:15 you do realize @31:11 our team is maroon and gold right? Gotta stop throwing it to the other side. @36:36 Coach Sutton's 1st career win as O.C! Go Bobcats!

[@StevenThomasGaming]

@@jon-pauluriarte4680 Yeah. The gameplay is very madden esque and I've not played that game in years. Even with sliders to help,there are niches I gotta figure out at Heisman difficulty

[@Jamesmatise]

Mahdi is both the best running back and receiver in this game 😂 217 total offensive yards. Definitely a Sutton protégé.

[@StevenThomasGaming]

@@Jamesmatise In real life he is a big danger too.

[@Taiyama2]

LET'S GOOOOO 12:35 Strangely nostalgic to hear that Texas State band again. We won't be staying here, but it's nice to start here. 24:09 Famous last words. 28:00 Oh man, he had nothing but daylight in front of him if he'd just held onto the ball! 28:12 THERE we go! That's what we like to see! 30:54 And it wasn't Mahdi this time! Will wonders ever cease? 32:45 Hah! Jesus, look at the discrepancy on those defense stats. Either it's because the Bobcats have had the ball for much longer or our defense is asleep at the wheel. 35:14 It's the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-four, and you're expecting quality out of EA? That's on you buddy.

[@StevenThomasGaming]

I know I know. Thinking EA was going to come through? Good joke by me :D

[@MadMartin815]

Early QB play reminds me of certain QBs in Madden 14 for our beloved Coopers.

[@StevenThomasGaming]

@@MadMartin815 Madden DBs are hard to throw around

[@Blue-zw8er]

A note for the oc: the receivers CAN move before the ball is snapped.

[@StevenThomasGaming]

I do know this, but still learning the playbooks.

[@MadMartin815]

Steve: Do we have any big name teams this season? Arizona State: >:|

[@StevenThomasGaming]

@@MadMartin815 I fully expect them to bring the revenge of Montezuma on me lol
