New Details on EA College Football 25 Emerge as Michigan Ohio State Simulation Game Leaves a Bad Taste in Commentator’s Mouth

EA College Football 25 will be the best and most detailed football game ever! After all, it’s coming back after nearly a decade since its last release. NCAA Football 14 had former Michigan QB Denard Robinson on the cover. Since then, there hasn’t been a new edition of a college football game until this one. With over 10,000 college football players opting in for the game, it’s bound to be epic! The EA College Football 25 voiceover room has constantly teased fans with little updates. This time, another exciting one has surfaced, raising the game’s anticipation even more! 

Hayes Fawcett recently shared a video revealing a quick update behind the scenes from the home voiceover room for the College Football 25 game, captioning it, “The effort & detail being put into the game is TOP-TIER.” In the video, Chris Fowler gives another update on the highly anticipated game: “We’re deep in the fourth quarter in this process… Kirk [Herbstreit] and I have one more joint session where we kind of simulate the booth banter.”

The 61-year-old ESPN broadcaster announced that the voiceover recordings will be completed in a few days, before which he’ll record hundreds of player names. Chris Fowler teased fans, saying, “I re-recorded a bunch of the high-intensity calls to give more energy. I just didn’t like what I heard when they played back for me a simulation. Ohio State versus Michigan. Buckeyes score a touchdown on a 75-yard pass on the opening play of the game.” 

As a commentator, knowing how important what he says can be in enhancing the experience of watching football, Fowler explained, “You gotta have incredible energy mixed with surprise when you call that kind of play. Didn’t like what I heard the way the computer stitched the various little calls. It just didn’t fit.” He drew a comparison with an actual gave that has happened – one between the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners.

“I wanted it to sound like Xavier Worthy scoring against Oklahoma on the first play of the Red River game a few years ago. So, I listened to that callback. I wanted the game to match that level of intensity. So we went back and recorded a bunch of those kinds of calls,” the ESPN broadcaster explained.

It’s no secret how strenuous commentating for a high-intensity game can be. Considering that’s precisely what they’re recreating while working on College Football 25, Fowler admitted to being as drained and out of energy as he would be after an actual game. With another little update for fans to look forward to, the anticipation for the game’s release late this summer is continually increasing. Why wouldn’t it be, considering it’s also set to have Bowl games?

EA College Football 25 will feature all Bowl games

On Monday, the Pop-Tarts Bowl confirmed that EA College Football 25 will feature bowl season. College football reporter Matt Brown revealed, “All the bowls are (in the game), as I understand it.” However, it’s still unclear if these bowl games will be complete with official logos, authentic venues, and sponsor names. 

EA College Football 25 is expected to be released in July. From updated rosters to the transfer portal and extremely authentic voiceovers, this game will blow gamers’ minds. While the final launch date isn’t available, the game trailer, gameplay footage, and screenshots are expected to be released in May. So, hold your horses and get ready to experience the best of virtual college football gaming!
