College Football 25 stadium rankings: Texas A&M, Alabama lead toughest places to play in EA Sports video game

As the anticipation builds toward the release of College Football 25, EA Sports is giving fans a peek this week at certain rankings and ratings within the game as it makes its long-awaited return. The gaming company got things started Tuesday by unveiling its list of the toughest places to play within College Football 25.

Texas A&M fans can rejoice -- the Aggies' Kyle Field sits atop EA Sports' rankings. Texas A&M is one of three SEC schools listed atop the toughest places to play, followed by Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium and LSU's Tiger Stadium, respectively. Georgia's Sanford Stadium at No. 5 rounds out an almost entirely SEC top five.

Here's a look at the top 10 toughest places to play in College Football 25:

EA Sports went so far as to release a top 25, which can be viewed in its entirety here .

Now, that list isn't entirely subjective. In its release, EA Sports noted that game developers considered multiple factors, including "home winning %, home game attendance, active home winning streaks (and) team prestige" when deciding on college football's most intimidating venues.

To simulate the unique environment generated by a college football gameday, EA Sports previously announced that each of the FBS stadiums included will have a tangible metric that measures the impact of the crowd and general atmosphere. That will affect the actual gameplay, giving the home team a boost while the away team will have special pre-snap mechanics that make it more difficult to execute a play.

EA Sports College Football 25 is set to release on July 19.
