"That sh*t is a remake of Madden": CFB fans draw comparison between Madden Re-Skin and EA Sports' College Football '25 after trailer hits the internet

The official trailer and release date for EA Sports College Football 25 was released on Friday. The game, which will be released on July 19, is the first video game based on college football in 11 years.

Here's how some fans have reacted to the trailer on social media. Some liked the trailer:

"Inject this into my veins!," wrote this fan

"Give me chills i need the game now," wrote another fan

"It's glorious 😍😍," wrote a third fan

The trailer has been criticised by other fans, though, who believe that College football 25 is just going to be another version of EA Sports Madden Series but for college football and not NFL

"That sh*t is a remake of madden with more pregame stuff wtf," wrote this fan

"It really looks like madden and some of the animations in there I hope it’s not like this on release," wrote another fan

"Madden with college teams 😂," wrote a third fan

"Madden 2.0 I fear." wrote this fan

However, these fans have rebuked those who have compared College Football 25 to Madden:

"People really saying it looks like a madden reskin … what did y’all want the football players playing basketball or some shi," wrote this fan

"all the people complaining when someone says "it's just another madden" are either to young to remember ncaa 2014, or lost all memory of what that game truly was. NCAA 2014 was one of it's own. Gameplay and everything was NOTHING like madden 14," wrote another fan

"It's football.... people expect "movements" and everything to be so different. IT'S FOOTBALL," wrote a third fan

Other fans think that College football 25 will be better than the Madden game that many are comparing it to;

"looks more realistic than madden 😭," wrote this fan

"Madden has had a 10 year head start and just got passed up in 2 minutes…," wrote another fan

Is College Football 25 too similar to Madden?

In recent years, EA Sports have been accused by fans of just rehashing their previous games for their annual releases, like Madden, F1 and FIFA/EAFC, and not doing anything to improve the gameplay.

Fans now think that EA Sports are just doing to rehash a Madden game in relation to game mechanics and player movements and package in under the College Football name.

However, there's going to be a similarity between the two games, as they are based on the same sport. While they are minor differences between college football and the NFL, the sport and how it's generally played is identical.

What sets college football apart is the fans' atmosphere on gameday, the history of many rivalries and the fascinating differences between programs that, unlike in the NFL, may never play against each other

These are just a few reasons why College Football is so popular, and they have been all put into College Football 25 for fans to play.
