JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The most anticipated video game in years is on the way this week. EA Sports College Football 25 launched Monday afternoon for those who purchased the deluxe edition and comes out Friday on store shelves.
Thanks to name, image and likeness and a blanket licensing deal, this is the first time that actual players have been included in the game. And more than 100 players who played high school football locally are in the game. Players who opted into the game received $600 and a copy of the game.
