Although there may not be many foreigners playing EA Sports College Football 25, this PS 5 game is likely to be one of best-selling games this year. This release of this game ended the blank of people’s lack of new licensed NCAA titles for decades. But after the release of this game, I wonder if players are still satisfied with the answer it gave to people?
Some people may say that this game is Madden NFL. I want to say very loudly that this is definitely not a copy of Madden NFL. This game can be said to be a brand new game with brand new mechanics and systems, so it differs from Madden NFL.
In addition, there are 134 teams in this game, and each team has a unique style. This can be done, which is simply amazing. In this game, you can find thousands of actual players, and then find their unique abilities to help reflect their personal playstyle.
Perhaps, for a player, the most important thing is different schemes and playbooks, which can test your football acumen well. Compared with high-stakes professional leagues, these characteristics of college games are creative offenses and big blowouts. These can be explored in depth in Dynasty mode.
In the mode you choose, you will be head coach or coordinator of academic institution of your choice. Your goal in this mode is to lift coveted Heisman Trophy. If you win championship, your mission is completed, and you can get some rewards, most of which will include College Football 25 Coins, and some additional rewards will vary depending on the event.
We need on-field action and spreadsheet exploration to achieve this goal. In addition, we have to create a shortlist of prospects to track every season, note that it is required every season. Then we need to use and consume points to observe and attract them. This is because each player has a distinct personality. Some people want to be starter and core of the team, but some people just want to stay at home.
So you need to think about how much effort you are willing to invest in inviting players to join our team. Sometimes we can’t attract the players we like, even if we have a perfect plan, but it doesn’t matter. This is considered being accumulated experience.
Use everything we have to work hard for us to win championship. This is a very common way to play games of this type, and this game is no exception. Before you step on the court, there will be a new throwing mechanic that requires you to grasp the timing accurately, otherwise you will be easily picked off. This kind of game experience cannot be experienced in other games, which is also the reason behind the success of this game.
We can also notice a fact that all of this is closely related to the player health system. This system may be very real to us, but how cruel is it to the players? For example, if your star quarterback is injured in the shoulder, you can clearly find that their throwing power is diminished.
At this time, we need to change our game strategy. At this time, we need shorter throws to make up for the poor condition of our quarterback, or we have to rely on running back to find a suitable position in defense. We need to change our strategy flexibly during the game, so that we will have more options.
The game is based on the best sports game presentation on PS 5, with brass bands stomping on field in the minutes before kickoff, mascots playing in the crowd, and a picture-in-picture playcalling screen that strikes a balance between form and function. This visual may be shocking to those who don’t play the game often, but it will become boring if you see it too many times. But overall, it’s not a big problem.
The game has many advantages, but it’s not perfect. Road to Glory mode, where we no longer play as a head coach, but as a player on the path to college football greatness, is an RPG-style game, but there is no real context and storylines to connect the player to the game.
Although we can choose our position, background, and abilities, it’s obvious that this is not done with much care. The existence of this system does not do a good job of connecting the player to the game.
The same is true for Ultimate Team, which is underrated here. Madden NFL’s structure is almost identical to Ultimate Team. There are not only many single player challenges to complete but also multiplayer matches. But there are some legends of the game and a constant procession of superstars, which makes it even more attractive.
There is no problem with the function of this mode. Although Dynasty mode meets the needs of team building, it still has shortcomings. Although you can customize the game to your needs, we can’t edit players or export your college contingent to Madden NFL 25. Maybe this function will be launched later.
It is worth waiting for EA Sports College Football 25 for ten years. For example, all-encompassing Dynasty mode is very attractive to some players. But Ultimate Team may be a bit redundant, and Road to Glory may take more time to explore the fun.
