REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – May 16, 2024 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), in advance of the game's full reveal tomorrow, today unveiled the historic covers of EA SPORTS™ College Football 25, which feature a trio of current college football stars – Michigan running back Donovan Edwards, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, and Colorado wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter. Fans can soon experience explosive gameplay variety across 134 FBS schools and immerse themselves in the iconic atmospheres of college football when EA SPORTS College Football 25 launches worldwide on July 19 on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S.

“Donovan, Quinn and Travis are extraordinary talents who impressed and entertained millions of college football fans on the field last season and are poised to do so again this year,” said Daryl Holt, SVP and Group GM, EA SPORTS. “We’re proud to be able to incorporate thousands of current athletes in College Football 25, and featuring this trio of playmakers and their iconic college programs on the cover is a perfect fit as we usher in a new era for EA SPORTS and college football. I can't wait for the world to learn more about the game tomorrow."

All the cover stars built enviable resumes last season. Edwards excelled in the Wolverines’ national championship run last season, where he became the first player in College Football Playoff (CFP) history with two rushing touchdowns of 40-plus yards in the title game. Ewers, one of the top quarterbacks in the nation, led the Longhorns to a 12-2 record and a Big 12 Championship last year, while Hunter is one of the most exciting two-way players in college football history and stands as the only FBS player in at least the last 20 seasons to record 100 yards receiving and an interception in the same game.

“EA SPORTS games are legendary and to see myself on the cover of College Football 25 is truly surreal,” said Edwards. “It’s a huge honor to join past Michigan greats as a cover athlete on an EA SPORTS college football game and keep the tradition going.”

“To represent the burnt orange on the real and virtual gridirons is such an honor. EA SPORTS games were the first place I lived out my childhood dream of playing for the Longhorns, so it’s a full-circle moment to now be on the cover of College Football 25,” said Ewers.

“I couldn’t be more pumped to be part of College Football 25 and represent my Buffaloes on the cover of a game with so much excitement behind it,” said Hunter. “I can’t wait to play and see myself, my teammates and my school in the game.”

Standard and Deluxe editions of College Football 25 are available for pre-order* now but fans seeking the ultimate football experience can pre-order a unique offering from EA SPORTS – the EA SPORTS™ MVP Bundle**, which includes the deluxe editions of EA SPORTS College Football 25 and Madden NFL 25 with 3-day early access for both titles and a variety of other benefits.

More College Football 25 details will be unveiled tomorrow and throughout the summer.

Huge college and NFL football fan. Played the old NCAA football games. Disappointed this is also made by EA. Is this gonna be just Madden with college players? Or are they putting actual work into the game?

i would feel dirty giving money to EA in 2024 personally.

Was stoked to hear about this…but it's next gen only right. No ps4 or xbox 1?

All depends on the gameplay. I get Madden every year and IMO the gameplay is legitimately good and thats all I really care about.

NCAA needs to not be a clone and feel more like college, if it does that I'm in.

I think it's only next gen, but not sure.


Yeah Madden on field gameplay is good, the features just suck. I had said when the game was announced if it were a copy and paste of NCAA 14 from a Dynasty features perspective just with updated Madden gameplay more tuned to the college experience I'd be thrilled. I still maintain that opinion but we don't have any info on the customization options yet, and being able to fully edit players and conferences for Dynasty is really important to me.

its just madden with different rosters

they even managed to include ultimate team pay 2 win game mode

Well I'd definitely buy this over another Madden, but I can wait for a sale.

I'm excited for it because I love football, and hate so much about madden, franchise and realism is thrown to the side for money, highlights, and dancing…
but I know its going to be a disappointment, I just hope its realistic in dynasty and its not all about ultimate team or paying to win. Even if it sucks people are still gonna buy it because its the only option to play a cfb game
I'm kind of surprised teambuilder was brought back since in madden you haven't been able to create your own team in like 10 years…

I will never buy another EA sports game. Haven't in like 8 years, and while I feel the itch sometimes for Madden.. it's just not ****ing worth it.

Bought a Series S just for this. Enjoying 3 months of gamepass that came with the console.

Already pre ordered just waiting on the 19th…apparently I missed out on the early access.

I clicked the gaming and technology section think I would make a CFB25 thread since I’ve never seen one…and I see OP delivered over a month ago.

I’m pumped for this game and dynasty mode 100%

Yes, it’s on my bothers me that it’s not gonna be able to physics based engine and will use the same engine as madden. But, it’s going to be incredible. Just to have a new college football game. Yall see the dynasty deep dives video they dropped on Tuesday? It was absolutely awesome.

This is going to be a great game

could be a legitimate GOTY contender
