What have critics said about EA Sports College Football 25?

EA Sports College Football 25 has received rave reviews from critics since it was released to the general public on July 19.

Here's a look at what some of them thought of the game:

1. The Washington Post

"There’s no question that College Football 25 is worth buying and is a welcome return to the franchise," said Herb Schribner.

Schribner gave it three and a half stars out of five. He praised the game for its wildly entertaining offensive plays and immersive scheming. However, he criticized the difficulty and unpredictability of recruiting players for your program.

2. Forbes

"EA delivered a much deeper experience that easily carves its own identity in every way possible," said Brian Mazique.

Mazique rated CFB 25 8.5 out of 10. In his Forbes review, he stated that the game isn't merely "Madden" in collegiate uniforms but rather an impressive offering in its own right. He expects that future editions will only get better.

3. Screen Rant

"College Football 25 will be a must-play for hardcore college football fans, and the excitement of the new drop helps players ignore some of its flaws," said Sean Migalla.

Migalla gave the game a four out of five rating, which translates to "Excellent" on Screen Rant's review metric. He gave EA props for the innovation and steps taken to make the game more immersive, and according to him, "it's one of the best-looking football games players can buy."

However, its UI needs improvement and some tweaks could be made to the game modes to make the franchise even better.
