The anticipation for the release of College Football 25 is palpable, but with that excitement also comes a lot of nerves. Will the game live up to the hype? Will it be a rehashed version of Madden with NCAA schools slapped on? Will it feature all the bells and whistles that fans have been hoping for, such as Dynasty mode with a transfer portal, NIL contracts, realignment options, and more?
One of the biggest fears surrounding the release of College Football 25 is the possibility that not every school will be included in the game. For diehard fans, the thought of their alma mater not being represented is a devastating blow. This could potentially be due to EA Sports offering minimal compensation to players, leading schools to opt out of the game. But fear not, there are ways to cope if your school doesn’t make the cut.
One option is to try bribing a school official to get your alma mater included in the game. While this may seem like a long shot, stranger things have happened in the world of college sports. Another option is to relive your college days by dusting off an old version of the game and immersing yourself in the nostalgia of playing as your favorite team.
If all else fails, you can always riot or streak through the quad in protest of your school’s exclusion from the game. Who knows, maybe EA Sports will take notice of your passion and reconsider their decision. And if all else fails, there’s always the hope that there will be a create-a-school feature in the game, allowing you to customize your own team and live out your college football fantasies.
Ultimately, if your school doesn’t appear in College Football 25, try to find solace in the fact that the game may not live up to expectations anyway. Sometimes, it’s better to save your money and enjoy the schadenfreude of watching others complain about glitches and bugs in the game. After all, a disappointing game release can sometimes be just as entertaining as a successful one.
