College Football 25 review: A campus legend makes a triumphant return

EA Sports College Football 25 launches July 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Our review says it's a must-have for sports fans who play video games.

As I said in an earlier preview about Madden, College Football 25 likewise excels at presenting a modern game that is more about shoves and shivers to the body than concussive blows, for obvious reasons. In any event, the early goings of Road to Glory are a clever preamble of earning your coach’s trust and respect, which ends in a promotion up the depth chart, which is won through a mini-game challenge. And when you’re committed to signing autographs at a car dealership when you really should be recovering from the last game — I came back from Georgia at “severe” risk of injury and only had one hour to knock that down to “high” — you’re really going to understand that the life of a campus superstar isn’t all hot girls and fawning alumni.
