Now, with new NIL rules in place, EA Sports has revived the beloved franchise, promising to pay athletes for the use of their image and likeness.

Earlier, rumors swirled about a summer 2024 release date to be July 19th, and now there’s concrete progress as the date is nearing closer. ESPN broadcaster Chris Fowler just announced he’s finished recording his voiceover for the game. This news is quite a treat for football fans who were waiting for some updates on the online game series.

Chris Fowler fueled the excitement of several college football fans with his recent Instagram video. “That’s a wrap! for my part of the voiceover work for the EA Sports College Football Game,” he declared. Fowler went on to describe the marathon recording process as he stated, “I’m talking more than 115 hours over about two years. It was a wild experience.”

Earlier rumors hinted at multiple broadcast booths in EA Sports College Football 25, and Fowler also confirmed the same. “Kirk  (Herbstreit) and I did some joint recordings on the final session covering some analysis in the booth,” he said. He also hinted at the depth of in-game analysis, listing the many scenarios he covered. “I got done reading more than 700 player names in the game. It is an incredibly detailed process,” Fowler said. Fowler also ended the video with a juicy hint that EA will soon reveal much more about gameplay and cover athletes before the end of the month. 

EA Sports College Football 25’s new teaser fuels hype

EA Sports just dropped the teaser for the long-awaited College Football 25, and the tagline says it all: “Yeah, It’s Really Happening.” This sneak peek has fans buzzing, as it offers a glimpse into the fabric of College Football 25, promising more reveals in May. Now Chris Fowler’s commentary adds to the hype, hinting at a massive upgrade over NCAA 14’s repetitive commentary. It looks like Fowler and Herbstreit won’t call every game, meaning each matchup will bring fresh broadcast voices and perspectives. Also, with 700 player names, the commentary will likely feel real, and not like those generic names in other online sports. 

Rumors even suggest the return of the beloved “create-a-player” feature from the NCAA 14 series. This reboot isn’t just about fresh gameplay and commentary as EA Sports aims for inclusivity, launching on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PC to reach the widest possible audience. Now, even if your team isn’t a powerhouse, you can achieve victory in College Football 25.
