The most anticipated sports game release of the last decade finally arrives, officially, on Friday, but fans who bought the Deluxe edition of EA Sports College Football 25 have had their hands on the game since Monday.
That means a lot of hours already have been spent on Dynasty building and Road To Glory. The game isn’t just a place to turn your favorite team (or a completely random one) into a {layoff contender, as it also offers a nice way to get to know the college football landscape before the season. With the actual players in the game this year , EA isn’t just approximating the talent on the field, they’re trying to get as realistic as possible with guys skills. That’s quite the undertaking with 13,000+ players, but they’re leaning on PFF and others to dial in ratings in order to try and deliver that.
The expectation is that they’ll be a bit more dialed on bigger schools, but their stated purpose is to make all 134 teams feel like the real thing. Getting to know all of those teams is difficult, but the game can help you know what every team’s stars are. We went down the list from A to Z (well, W because there’s no Y or Z teams in FBS) and found the best player (or players) for every roster according to EA Sports.
