For the first time in over a decade, EA Sports has released a college football video game. Whether you’re a die-hard Georgia Bulldogs fan looking to win a national championship, a grinder working their way through Dynasty Mode as a MAC coach or even Patrick Mahomes, “EA Sports College Football 25” is essentially Christmas in July for gamers and sports fans alike.
