EA Sports College Football 25 Review - Is it WORTH Your Money!?

[@Cheka__]

Whether it's good or not, I'm really sick of EA's monopoly on football games, and sports games in general.

[@jayandrusiak]

Mhm did you type this on your iPhone 😂 btw this broke the madden monopoly on football not sure why your upset that we have 2 options now…

[@Cheka__]

@jayandrusiak I typed it on my Samsung, although I'm not sure how that's relevant. You obviously don't know what a monopoly is. It's when one company controls the supply of a product. In this case, we're talking about football. This doesn't break the monopoly because Madden and EA College football are both made by the same company - EA. That means EA has a monopoly on football games. Now, do you understand?

[@OlegZoan]

They don't have a monopoly on Basketball or baseball. No entries at all in fact.

​@nolanrice2016 As a first time CFB player who's played Madden, here's my general take on Gameplay: Offense is better in CFB 25, Defense is much worse (pursuit angles are so freaking bad and tackling is funky), and Kicking is honestly the best improvement - feels realistic to me. Still I'd rather play Madden rn because I wanna be able to play at least some decent defense. Feels like a war trying to get a stop in this game 😂 so many additional forces going against you.

Sorry for all the College Football enthusiastics, the game is good in terms of gameplay but is very basic outside of the field. Presentation is repetitive with the same cut scenes over and over. Immersion is bad in Road to Glory and Dynasty mode. No news for others games, on others school performances during season. No EA track, no customization options, no Halftime Reports. Looks fun at the beginning but is boring on long term. A positive point is the atmosphere during College Football Playoffs against strongest team like Notre Dame, some confrontation are almost intimidating. But unfortunately, ESPN NFL 2k5 and NCAA 14 stays absolute GOATs.

People are majorly overrating this game due to both nostalgia and hype. This is an arcade game, plain and simple. Even garbage QBs often throw for 80%, and most games have way too many INTs. In Madden 24, I often end games with realistic stats. Even after trying tons of slider combos, I’m still seeing goofy stats in every user-played game in CFB 25. Graphics are sub-par. Run outs are muddy, and on-field is just okay. You could tell me this is running in PS4 and I wouldn’t bat an eye. But by FAR the worst offender here is the Pass defense. Even elite DBs play like morons. And every QB has Brady-like accuracy for the most part, making for 80% passing games out the wazoo. Finally, if you go back and play the old games, you’ll see they awesome stadium atmospheres, including run outs that often surpassed this game, as well as things like custom stadium music (want Pantera to play on TDs? Go for it.). Overall this is a 6/10. I’ll be playing 12 and 13 just as much as this, if not more.

Often the timing is off with the play call or the lines they’re stitching together don’t make sense. There’s no natural feeling to the excitement or the change in tone for big place. It all sounds unnatural and definitely does not sound like they are in a press box. It sounds like they’re in some silent recording room without the ambience of a stadium in the background I hope they clean it up because this was something they were promoting very heavily for the game came out.

Zero immersion or free will to do anything, very good football simulator but extremely barebones with virtually any other feature.

[@Dog-999i]

Sports fans need to have higher standards for their games! They constantly reward EA for screwing them over. This has been a problem for at least 20 years.

[@bluestripetiger]

The engine is still the same as Madden, yes the icing on the cake is different but the guts are the same. It still suffers from all the same problems as Madden: horrible O-Line play, horrible AI when it comes to angles to take to tackle a player, hitting the tackle stick will result in the tackler going down knee first and missing the tackle many times, so its better to just run into the player, the engine is still susceptible to money plays, it is still animation based tackling, players still run into each other and do weird things when they're in a bunch such as phasing through each other, too many penalties are not called, your blockers on running plays often go off to the side and do their own thing rather than block for you, and a lot of things like this that have bothered football fans about Madden over the years. These are examples of problems that have been in the Madden game engine for years and EA has done nothing about and unfortunately NCAA has inherited all of them. Fleecing the player is still the main idea and the emphasis on spending money to open packs is still there. So yes, NCAA 25 does play faster than Madden and the college coat of paint on it is really exciting at first, but once the honeymoon phase is over you will begin to see that it has a lot similarities with Madden-too many for my comfort. I guess what i'm trying to say is that this game is not the Madden alternative that I was looking for, so because of that it was disappointing for me. If you are NOT looking for a new approach to football with a game that is built from the ground up and are instead looking for the easy pick up and play experience that being familiar with the Madden system gives, then you may wind up liking NCAA 25 a lot better than I did. If all you are looking for is to play as your fave college players then you will be happy. I wanted more out of a football game and was foolish for expecting EA that would give it to me. EA will essentially be selling the same game twice a year and making double the money.
