Football-loving video gamers are in for a treat this year.
For the first time since 2013, EA Sports will release a new edition of an NCAA football video game. The NCAA's Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) rules allow players to earn a profit for being in the game, reactivating the "College Football" series.
On Thursday, EA Sports revealed the cover athletes and a July release date for the highly anticipated return of College Football 25.
In addition to that announcement, the company also revealed that gamers could get both College Football 25 and Madden 25 in one bundle for a discounted price. The Sporting News breaks down the benefits and rewards of that bundle below.
