The only thing more exciting for local college football players than being in EA Sports College Football 25 is knowing their rating.
The simulation video game, which released its deluxe edition Monday and will release to all consumers Thursday, has been on hiatus since 2014 due to lawsuits between the publisher, the NCAA and college athletes around compensation for their likenesses. With the athletes now able to profit off their name, image and likeness, that paved the way for the game to return. EA Sports College football 25 features 11,390 real players on the 134 Football Bowl Subdivision teams, some of whom grew up in MetroWest and the Milford area.
Each player is rated on a 0-100 scale in attributes like speed, strength, throwing, coverage, etc. Those scores combine for their overall rating, which shows how good a player is. Michigan cornerback Will Johnson and Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II have the best rating in the game at 96. The worst players in the game hover around the mid 40s.
