"Still can't get white people right" "Solid af": Fans react to EA Sports College Football 25 character comparisons to real life

EA Sports College Football 25 brings a fresh touch with realistic player likenesses. This means game lovers will see faces, names, and attributes that resemble real players, rather than the generic versions from past games.

The game also introduces unique running styles for different player types, adding more realism.

However, it's not an exact match between the virtual and real-life players. An Instagram post by ‘College Football Edits’ compared the game’s characters to their real counterparts, sparking fan reactions.

One fan humorously commented:

"Lmfao they still can’t get white people right."

While another praised the effort, saying:

"No scans, solid af."

One fan said that QB Carson Beck resembles a character from the movie Friday The 13th:

“Carson Beck Look Like One Of The Teenagers You’d See On Friday The 13th..”

“Was it not possible to just show their actual college photo in the card ?” one wondered.

“Tbf most of the time players are wearing helmets so I don’t give 2 sh**s as long as it somewhat looks like them,” another fan wrote.
