EA Sports CFB 25

Transcript

00:00 EA Sports is finally bringing back their NCAA football season

00:05 with the addition of NCAA 25.

00:08 There's been a flurry of activity that has popped up over the last few days.

00:13 There's probably going to be more as it gets closer to the release of the actual

00:18 game, but this came out today.

00:21 First thoughts, A, I'm very glad that Powder Blue and Ole Miss is going to be

00:25 featured in this game, which we knew they would.

00:28 But Ole Miss has never had Powder Blue as an option because in 1995,

00:33 when Tommy Tuberville took over, right before the college football craze hit,

00:39 Ole Miss went to the Navy helmet.

00:40 So the Powder Blue has never really been an option until now.

00:45 But per Pete Knokos, starting today,

00:48 players can opt in to appearing into the upcoming NCAA football game.

00:53 All athletes who opt in will get $600 and a free copy of the game.

00:58 That is a pretty good deal.

00:59 Now, people are going to look and see the $600 and all that, and it's like,

01:02 oh, the players deserve so much money.

01:04 And they look at the value of EA Sports and all of that, and

01:09 they're like, the players are getting ripped off.

01:11 Well, nobody's buying this game because of the players.

01:14 You could have quarterback number three play quarterback at Ole Miss, and

01:18 it not even look anywhere resembling what Jackson Dart looks like.

01:22 And people are going to buy this game because of the Ole Miss stuff,

01:25 because of the band playing, because of the noise, the ancillary stuff.

01:29 Being able to take Kennesaw State on a dynasty to a three-peat win in

01:34 the college football playoff, that's the reason people are going to buy this game.

01:40 Do not make any mistake.

01:41 The players will be cool, but this is not maddened.

01:44 This is not about being a special player inside the game.

01:51 It's about being in the game.

01:54 Being a part of this will be more beneficial for

01:57 a player than a player actually trying to dominate their own prize.

02:02 That's the reason NCAA football and EA set it at $600, and you can opt out at it,

02:06 because it's just not worth paying more money than that.
