MMOexp：College Football 25 A Mixed Review

With the release of College Football 25, excitement was high among fans, some even going so far as to invest in new consoles just to get their hands on the game. As a long-time football video game enthusiast, I have experienced both highs and lows with this latest installment. While College Football 25 excels in on-field action and presentation, several off-field issues diminish the overall experience. Here’s a detailed look at what works, what doesn’t, and what might be improved.

On-Field Excellence

College Football 25 stands out with its impressive graphics and gameplay. EA Orlando has clearly put significant effort into making the on-field action as realistic and engaging as possible. The visuals are striking—players’ sweat, exceptional lighting, and detailed animations all contribute to a more immersive experience. Unique team intros, mascot celebrations, and cheerleader performances add to the game's personality, capturing the essence of college football's pageantry and tradition.

Gameplay has also seen notable improvements. The game runs faster and smoother than its predecessors, with quicker plays and more nimble player movements. The revamped passing system offers a learning curve but rewards precision with a better mix of throw arc and accuracy. For those preferring the familiar Madden controls, they are still available. Throw power now impacts ball speed and force, while pump fakes have been enhanced for more realistic play.

The addition of new features, such as 12 hot route options for receivers and improved custom stem options, further enriches gameplay. A small but significant quality of life change allows the game to automatically run down the clock when taking a knee in a mathematically over game.

Underwhelming Modes and UI Issues

Despite the strong on-field performance, College Football 25 falters significantly with its modes and user interface. The game offers several modes, including Play Now, Road to the College Football Playoffs, Road to Glory, Dynasty, and College Ultimate Team. However, many of these modes feel underdeveloped and lack depth.

The UI, in particular, is a major disappointment. Key information about player wear and tear and stamina is poorly displayed, often making it hard to discern what’s happening on the field. The automated hat count from Madden is missing, and stamina indicators are represented by small, unclear icons. The UI issues extend to the in-game commentary and bugs, such as persistent hot spots in drills and inaccurate commentary, which detract from the overall experience.

Road to Glory, while offering some fun with mini-games and player progression, becomes repetitive quickly. The lack of meaningful in-game cutscenes and limited play call options can make playing as a quarterback feel restrictive and frustrating.
