EA College Football is expected to be released on July 19, according to NFL content creator Dov Kleiman. Kleiman made the announcement on April 8, but did not provide a source for the information. While EA has not confirmed the release date, it is worth noting that the NCAA Football series is traditionally released in July, with official announcements typically made in April. For example, NCAA Football 12 was announced on April 18 and released on July 12.
The release date of EA College Football fits in well with the annual release schedule of Madden, which is set to be released in August. Given this, it would make sense for the college football game to come out about a month ahead of the NFL product. With the possibility of an official announcement coming soon, it would not be surprising to see the release date revealed on April 25, the day of the 2024 NFL Draft. Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of college football to the gaming world, especially with the inclusion of over 10,000 college players who have opted in to be featured in the game.
Players who choose to opt in to be included in EA College Football will receive $600 and a copy of the game in exchange for the use of their name and likeness. With 134 FBS schools, the 12-team College Playoff format, and likely inclusion of Ultimate Team, the game is shaping up to be a major hit in the sports video game market. The excitement surrounding the release of the game has been building over the past few months, with trailers being released and more details emerging. Fans are eagerly awaiting official information on the highly anticipated return of college football to the gaming world. Stay tuned for more updates.
