Many fans are excited about the upcoming EA College Football 25 game, which will feature multiple cover athletes, according to a report from college football licensing insider Matt Brown of Extra Points. The game is set to be revealed in May, and it is said to have multiple versions, including standard, digital deluxe, and possibly a collector’s edition. Each cover athlete is a current college football player from a different power conference, marking a departure from previous versions of the NCAA Football franchise that featured just-drafted collegiate players on the cover.
The cover athletes for EA College Football 25 are expected to play different positions and come from power conferences such as the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big Ten, and SEC. Based on this information, fans have started making educated guesses about who the cover athletes might be. Some popular picks include Carson Beck from Georgia as QB, Ollie Gordon II from Oklahoma State as RB, Luther Burden III from Missouri as WR, Travis Hunter from Colorado as DB, James Pearce Jr. from Tennessee as a defensive lineman, and Wyatt Gilum from West Virginia as an offensive lineman.
One notable omission from the potential cover athlete list is Shedeur Sanders, who is considered one of the most famous college football players. While Sanders is a popular choice, his status as the top QB is not guaranteed, and securing additional rights for his likeness may be more challenging. It is unclear if EA will include any linemen on the cover, as they are not typically featured on sports game covers, but the multiple cover athlete approach may offer a chance for a lineman to be represented.
With most fans purchasing digital copies of games, it is expected that the multiple cover athletes will appear on one cover rather than each player getting their own. This could potentially tie in with EA’s Ultimate Team mode, allowing fans to build their fantasy lineup around one of the cover athletes. As more information is revealed about the game, including playable modes and potential updates, anticipation for the release of EA College Football 25 continues to grow.
Despite the limited information available, the anticipation for EA College Football 25 is high among fans, with many eagerly awaiting additional details about the game. Set for release on all platforms in July, the game is expected to mark a significant return for college football in the video game world. The addition of multiple cover athletes from different power conferences adds a new twist to the franchise and creates excitement for what EA has in store for players and fans alike.
