EA Sports College Football 25, developed by EA Orlando and published by EA Sports, officially launched on Friday. Schools like UCLA, Mississippi State, San Diego State and Colorado hosted launch events. After an 11-year hiatus, the beloved game is back, thrilling fans worldwide and lighting up social media with hilarious memes.
On launch day, Microsoft's servers crashed, prompting a fan to share a meme of WWE star John Cena with the caption:
“Online Servers rn.”
Another fan posted a Hulk Hogan meme:
One shared a penguin wearing an Alabama Crimson Tide hat:
An excited fan tweeted:
“Everybody…We made it.”
Not all reactions were positive. A frustrated Texas fan tweeted about inaccuracies in the stadium designs:
“Fix Texas state and Oregon state’s stadium.”
Another pointed out compatibility issues with current Xbox consoles, but ended on a hopeful note:
“SO...how many complaints (do you not care about with the purchase of this game) where the current XBOX console is 'Not Compatible'? In the end, I'll enjoy the game and appreciate that your group created something worth my time. BUT...see above complaint.”
Fans tweeted more memes on X (formerly Twitter) as shown below:

College Football 25's fresh game modes
The video game has five exciting modes: Play Now, Dynasty, Road to Glory, Ultimate Team and Road to the College Football Playoff. However, unlike NCAA Football 14, players can't play high school games in Road to Glory. Instead, they start by creating an athlete, choosing a position (QB, HB, WR, MLB or CB), and selecting a star rating from 2 to 5 stars.
In the game, users have options to manage their team efficiently. They can "encourage transfers" if the 85-player limit is exceeded. Additionally, they can offer 35 scholarships and easily free up an offer by removing an athlete from the recruiting board.
