EA Sports has teased the return of the beloved video game for the last few years. EA hasn’t released a college football video since since NCAA Football 14, which was released in July 2013. Things will get interesting to see how EA presents the game. A lot has changed in the college athletics landscape since 2013, like the transfer portal, conference realignment and NIL.

Name, Image and Likeness will be a factor in the game as student-athletes have the opportunity to market themselves in the game. NIL has also been a hurdle for EA as the players have went back-and-forth on what they want for being in the game. Student-athletes that opt-in are expected to receive $600 and a cope of the video game.
