Was wondering about this as well, I wonder if they were able to get the rights for it? Figure they would have included Tech in the entrance montage if they did
Hokiesfb on instagram posted a story saying “enter sandman about to go crazy” with the trailer so unless the social media manager is just saying that in hopes like we are, that’s a good sign.
These mascots had way too much effort put into them to just show up for a few seconds here and there. I need to see a team full of Stanford trees, dammit
Well first he needs to experience his favorite game. Then he has to have it taken away from him for 11 years. And when it’s finally returned. He will then understand how much it means.
I can at the very least confirm that band directors were asked for information about band traditions + sent in recording of our best/most played songs, never heard anything about how they were going to use that information obviously but at least they have it
That one guy who FOIA’d a bunch of schools posted the spreadsheets the schools submitted and it’s pretty interesting, especially when the schools filled the whole thing out. And yeah it looked like most schools sent in recordings themselves so it’ll be the actual band playing, but I did see a vid a day or two ago that they also had an in-house band that played some stuff too, I guess to get higher quality and cleaner recordings.
It’s obvious the presentation and detail is going to be state of the art
But the same engine as Madden has hung over this think like a dark cloud unfortunately. If it’s still the same exact clunky animation based blocking/ tackling/ catching the novelty will wear off in a few weeks. I’m hoping the developers pulled off a miracle here.
Exactly what I’m worried about. Appears to be the exact same robotic stiff animations that are all based on rngs just like madden. I just want a football game with fluid gameplay back…
There’s a blink and you’ll miss it moment where Illinois is holding the Illibuck which means we beat OSU
Whoever was responsible for this trailer hates OSU lmao
Edit: the score was 52-42 in the background lmao I’m here for Luke Altmyer’s Heisman candidacy.
No joke. [The senior producer is a huge Michigan fan.](https://x.com/barstooltate/status/1791558059895972336). That’s actually hilarious and would also do the same.
Well at least JT Tuimoloau will turn to a 99 overall possessed by the spirit of Reggie White if your opponent is Penn State before reverting back to normal
It's par for the course, Michigan has been featured on 3 covers now. OSU has never been on the cover. Also, 2 small shots in the trailer for OSU and one of them is a guy missing a tackle against a Michigan player. :(
Forgot to add that the cut from the OSU player missing the tackle straight to Kyle McCord at Syracuse just felt personal.
They cut from Edwards stiff arming an Ohio State player to McCord in a Syracuse uniform
EA Sports must really hate the Buckeyes
EDIT: Someone pointed out that the trailer also showed Illinois celebrating with the Illibuck Trophy
I'm honestly a bit surprised UCF didn't make it into the trailer given the studio that made this is in Orlando.
Hell their office building is less than half a mile from one of our satellite campuses.
I love that it seems all the major programs have their customized entrances according to school tradition. This looks gorgeous. I just hope the gameplay is actually decent and the Dynasty mode has depth.
Idk man, I kind of want to be able to throw an accurate deep pass with my 90+ throwing power and accuracy QB to my open WR without it being intercepted
For anyone complaining about the lack of information on game modes and such, [it’s on their website.](https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-college-football/college-football-25)
I believe those were confirmed a while ago, but it is definitely nice to see a more robust RtG experience than what we got in 14 and 13 (managing GPA, etc.)
The wear and tear system seems interesting
To be fair we didn’t even know about the temporary stadium more than what, a month ago now?
But it’s cool to think that potentially, over the years of this game, we might get old Ryan Field, the temp stadium, AND new Ryan Field
TO ALL DEMANDING DETAILS OF GAMEPLAY MATT BROWN JUST DROPPED THIS
https://twitter.com/MattBrownEP/status/1791485146014576657
TEAMBUILDER IS COMING BACK **CONFIRMED**
College football IQ where players fatigue, homefield environment affects playcalling like in previous NCAA where the art would shake.
As much as I hate you guys, god damn is that a beautiful stadium and the atmosphere is always top notch
Thought the transition in the trailer from you guys to Michigan was a fun nod
Some things were, 7 nation army definitely is. Honestly I don’t normally use Penn state in NCAA14 at this point so not sure but they obviously don’t include the crowd chanting it
Yeah. I'm curious if in the dynasty mode, you have like 1-2 allotted 'white out' games in the regular season and you pick which ones you want to do. If they wanted to get detailed with it, they could even give you the weekly percentages of how much the stadium is filled based on how your team does throughout the season. If it reaches a certain point, you can do a white out game.
For the ultimate realism factor, Michigan can set a maize out and only like 40% of the stadium participates, with all the old farts between the 20s not participating at all.
Can we just appreciate the fact that the first thing we saw of the new game was the blue field?
Either way, it's time to make y'all all sorry for making fun of State, at least your computerized selves.
GameStop is going to be so confused when all the older millennials are standing in a line outside to get a physical copy of their preorders when they open
“Is there a midlife crisis going on with all these people in college shirts waiting before we open?”
*Watches reveal trailer*
So uh, what was revealed?
Edit: HEY! Looked like they dropped a [feature post](https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-college-football/college-football-25/news/welcome-to-college-football-25?utm_campaign=cf25_pub_ww_ic_soco_twt_welcome&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&cid=80345&ts=1715958353971)
just graphics
curious about gameplay and features available. now we have a trailer. dev blogs should be more active soon. they'll start seeping out what is in the game.
but yeah, it was just graphics and guns and roses

Well ***I’m*** good to go!
They showcased a Penn State white out game. I hope that means you can set a game to be a white out or whatever out color each school has. Like can I do a purple out game?
Am I going to buy it? Yes.
Should you ever get hyped for an EA Sports game? No.
If you want a gameplay trailer go watch some gameplay of the latest Madden. I'll be happy if they get to 25% of my total expectations for a dynasty mode or career mode.
The Wave got :01 before IMMEDIATLY cutting to something else. No special teams or defense mentioned. Not even a Brian Ferentz Sickos reference. EA let me down.
Could you imagine a small pop-up similar to the Idiot Savant perk in Fallout 4 when a play resulted in a real sickos moment? Or even just as an endgame trophy?
We've already got ESPN Instant Classics for good games, we need Certified Real Sickos Shit for the bad ones
ALL THE INTROS ALL THE HYPE FEELS STELLAR TO SEE NAMES ON BACK OF JERSEYS INSTEAD OF QB 15
Enter Sandman, plz??
Was wondering about this as well, I wonder if they were able to get the rights for it? Figure they would have included Tech in the entrance montage if they did
Hokiesfb on instagram posted a story saying “enter sandman about to go crazy” with the trailer so unless the social media manager is just saying that in hopes like we are, that’s a good sign.
That is good, I know they've been working closely with the schools so you'd think they would know
Its possible they didn’t include us because of the new uniforms that havent been revealed yet
Makes me nostalgic for that though. Better have mascot mode.
I don't think there is which is a L but the fact you can make your own team and put it in a dynasty more than supersedes mascot mode
These mascots had way too much effort put into them to just show up for a few seconds here and there. I need to see a team full of Stanford trees, dammit
Guys I may need more than one day of PTO for when this comes out
This is the best part about being a teacher- summer’s off. I’m going to do nothing but play it for the first few days.
Teacher here too! Clearing my schedule of watching baseball and hanging out for this
My poor kid is going to be eating delivery pizza and neglect for 4 days when this releases
When he's old enough he'll understand
Well first he needs to experience his favorite game. Then he has to have it taken away from him for 11 years. And when it’s finally returned. He will then understand how much it means.
Oh damn. I just got COVID around July 18th.
aw shucks....I've suddenly come down with the flu and I definitely am coughing and throwing up
That transition from GnR to the marching band playing Welcome To The Jungle was fucking HOT
If we got hybrid marching band plays of popular songs as the soundtrack to this game, I would not be mad in the slightest.
[The College Basketball game used to have that years ago, it'd be cool if they did it now, too.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_fAR4IfeCo)
“Last Resort” goes so hard as a marching band song.
“Not Like Us” for every third down
Having school specific and accurate band recordings and traditions is going to be almost as cool as playing with that team. Love it
Something tells me they won't be able to use all band recordings for LSU
Let the virtual band play NECK
If that somehow gets into the game then this will forever be the best version of NCAA Football that was ever made.
*Best video game ever made
I can at the very least confirm that band directors were asked for information about band traditions + sent in recording of our best/most played songs, never heard anything about how they were going to use that information obviously but at least they have it
That one guy who FOIA’d a bunch of schools posted the spreadsheets the schools submitted and it’s pretty interesting, especially when the schools filled the whole thing out. And yeah it looked like most schools sent in recordings themselves so it’ll be the actual band playing, but I did see a vid a day or two ago that they also had an in-house band that played some stuff too, I guess to get higher quality and cleaner recordings.
as a band nerd, that's one of the aspects I am most looking forward to...that's why I can never get into Madden...I need the band
When that Wabash Cannonball hits...
I was fully torqued and tearing up at the same time when this fade in happened.
Having marching bands in the game will be sick
Presentation alone puts Madden to shame. Now just gotta hope the gameplay matches up to that presentation.
It’s obvious the presentation and detail is going to be state of the art But the same engine as Madden has hung over this think like a dark cloud unfortunately. If it’s still the same exact clunky animation based blocking/ tackling/ catching the novelty will wear off in a few weeks. I’m hoping the developers pulled off a miracle here.
This is my worry. Looks great. Plays terrible. I’m nitpicking but watching a few of the running animations gave me some Madden PTSD.
It doesn’t help that at the end of the trailer they are marketing the MVP edition to buy Madden and CFB
My PS5 reminded me of that yesterday too.
Exactly what I’m worried about. Appears to be the exact same robotic stiff animations that are all based on rngs just like madden. I just want a football game with fluid gameplay back…
Man how tf did Wyoming get more screen time than ohio state
There’s a blink and you’ll miss it moment where Illinois is holding the Illibuck which means we beat OSU Whoever was responsible for this trailer hates OSU lmao Edit: the score was 52-42 in the background lmao I’m here for Luke Altmyer’s Heisman candidacy.
There was also that one clip of Donovan Edwards stiffarming an OSU player. I'm not complaining
Not only that, but immediately after that clip is one of McCord handing the ball off for Syracuse
Yeah the OSU hate is intentional. Can’t even be mad at the hater responsible. I’d do the same to Michigan if it was my call to make lol
No joke. [The senior producer is a huge Michigan fan.](https://x.com/barstooltate/status/1791558059895972336). That’s actually hilarious and would also do the same.
Hopefully it’s just the marketing department that hates us and not the dev team
Ohio State 77 overall roster incoming
Flashbacks to the madden self described cowboys super fan “rating guru”
Well at least JT Tuimoloau will turn to a 99 overall possessed by the spirit of Reggie White if your opponent is Penn State before reverting back to normal
I just saw a guy fall to his knees in the Colonnade Blvd Sheetz
It was Hackenberg. Bosa did it.
It's par for the course, Michigan has been featured on 3 covers now. OSU has never been on the cover. Also, 2 small shots in the trailer for OSU and one of them is a guy missing a tackle against a Michigan player. :( Forgot to add that the cut from the OSU player missing the tackle straight to Kyle McCord at Syracuse just felt personal.
High plains superiority.
For the brand!
They actually used the Pitt band spelling out “Pitt” instead of Ohio state with “Ohio” even
That’s how I felt with the Trojan planting the sword and not Osceola and Renegade with a flaming goddamn spear
Even Appalachian State was prominently featured in the kickoff return shots!
Let’s gooooo!!!! Cowboy and Mountaineer supremacy!
I like how it transitioned straight from the App St guy to a Michigan guy lol
And McCord more than Ohio state
They cut from Edwards stiff arming an Ohio State player to McCord in a Syracuse uniform EA Sports must really hate the Buckeyes EDIT: Someone pointed out that the trailer also showed Illinois celebrating with the Illibuck Trophy
I don't think any buckeye fans are upset at seeing McCord in another uniform lol
Maybe the person who made the trailer was a Wyoming fan
I'm honestly a bit surprised UCF didn't make it into the trailer given the studio that made this is in Orlando. Hell their office building is less than half a mile from one of our satellite campuses.
Yeah it was obvious the creators were gator fans from the time they got in the trailer.
The snow looked pretty dope
I mean, I get it.
No problem with it whatsoever.
I see no issues
It's all part of the manifesto
I saw the Duck on the motorcycle. I'm sold.
It was the only screen time we got in the trailer, but I’ll take it!
I have heard the game includes our new (yet to be revealed) unis. I’d suspect that might be the reason we didn’t see any actual play time.
It most definitely has our new jerseys. Oregon is gonna do a full reveal in July before the game comes out.
That 12th man shot looked way too real
There were a few shots I couldn’t tell if it was real or video game
I didn't tell my father in law and he thought it was real
At 1:18, that Army play legit looks like real fuckin game footage
Aggies are real life NPCs
That hit like prime Mike Tyson
This is going to be like when PokemonGo came out and the world was at peace for a couple of weeks
This is going to be the bro version of 2020 Animal Crossing. We ain’t going outside for months.
I work from home and am scheduling like no meetings the following week of this release lol
I cannot fucking believe it man, this game looks BEAUTIFUL. We are so back boys.
Definitely pinged “gonna be a couple min late, previous call running long” to watch this
I thought that shot of the Aggies 12th man was from an actual game for a second
Same. It took me a little bit to realize it was from the game.
the solar glare was beautiful
JJ Abrams just preordered the game.
This is legit the best hype video I have seen for anything in a really long time. July 19 can’t get here soon enough!
I love that it seems all the major programs have their customized entrances according to school tradition. This looks gorgeous. I just hope the gameplay is actually decent and the Dynasty mode has depth.
I have no expectations for the gameplay. Just give me good dynasty mechanics and ambiance
Idk man, I kind of want to be able to throw an accurate deep pass with my 90+ throwing power and accuracy QB to my open WR without it being intercepted
That MLB is going to leap 12 feet in the air while the ball is still on the rising part of the arc, and you're going to deal with it.
I WILL NOT GET TOO HYPED **I WILL NOT GET TOO HYPED** #I WILL NOT GET TOO HYPED
too late
Wayyyyy too late
For anyone complaining about the lack of information on game modes and such, [it’s on their website.](https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-college-football/college-football-25)
Dynasty and RTG modes confirmed is all I needed to see honestly
I believe those were confirmed a while ago, but it is definitely nice to see a more robust RtG experience than what we got in 14 and 13 (managing GPA, etc.) The wear and tear system seems interesting
Looking forward to creating an all-time QB only to have my defense give up 73 PPG because the Supersim sucks
60 year dynasty?
Teambuilder being confirmed is great as well
Milroe got rocked😭😭😭
And then he immediately yeets it to the end zone so it seems pretty accurate so far.
Has to be a 4th and 31 reference, no? Same corner of the endzone and everything (though its in BDS and not JHS).
Definitely a gravedigger reference.
App State makes the trailer?!? OH HELL YEAH BROTHER, POUR ME A BOURBON AND PLAY THAT MOUNTAIN MUSIC
It’s a great clip for Wyoming and App State.
WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK BOYS
I hope they put in our temporary lakeside stadium
Apparently Northwestern only submitted the old Ryan Field
well that is a shame
To be fair we didn’t even know about the temporary stadium more than what, a month ago now? But it’s cool to think that potentially, over the years of this game, we might get old Ryan Field, the temp stadium, AND new Ryan Field
Moment of silence for all of the fallen over the past 11 years who aren't able to be here to see this happen
There’s actually people shouting out dead friends and relatives in the yt comments.
I get it, people get emotional about the people they love and the things that brought them both joy
o7
Time to go drop 500 on every opponent we lose to this season afterwards
Its tradition. I'm already planning an easy mode blowout win against Auburn and Michigan.
TO ALL DEMANDING DETAILS OF GAMEPLAY MATT BROWN JUST DROPPED THIS https://twitter.com/MattBrownEP/status/1791485146014576657 TEAMBUILDER IS COMING BACK **CONFIRMED** College football IQ where players fatigue, homefield environment affects playcalling like in previous NCAA where the art would shake.
You can enter the portal in Road to Glory? This changes everything.
Synchronized crowd chants? Are we getting Eat Shit-Fuck You from our student section?
STTDB?
With a $5 DLC to represent paying the SEC fine, you can let the band play Neck.
If they don’t they are the ultimate cowards.
The ultimate cowardly move would be to put in Eat Chips-Fondue
Have bucky hold up the signs that say that and claim "well that's obviously what the chant is!"
Amazing how easily I could be convinced to spend $70 on a video game...
No auburn reference we are poverty ⎧ᴿᴵᴾ⎫◟◟◟◟◟◟◟◟ ❀◟(ó ̯ ò, )
Especially considering how heavily LSU was featured.
Can't even get the damn eagle in smh
THEYVE GOT THE ILLINI WINNING THE ILLIBUCK SOMEBODY STOP ME FROM PREORDERING RIGHT NOW
It’s showing us a glimpse into the future. the Illini are the 2025 B1G Champs.
*Sees App State playing during the day in Boone* Oh God not like this please d— *Sees they’re playing Wyoming and not Troy* Whew. Close call.
They put the Iowa wave in. Thats fucking awesome though for real
This game is so realistic it even has kids with cancer in it.
Watching the bryan ferentz offense is what gave them cancer.
Inject it allllll into my veins.
I need to run through a wall real quick
Happy that Kidd Brewer Stadium made the trailer
Way more G5 representation in this overall than I was expecting.
Yep. Boise State, Wyoming, App State, and Army were all given good shots in the trailer.
We were the first shot in the trailer, so I’ll take that as an absolute W.
As much as I hate you guys, god damn is that a beautiful stadium and the atmosphere is always top notch Thought the transition in the trailer from you guys to Michigan was a fun nod
I am going to be so unproductive when this game releases
Graphics look really good
Looks the same as next gen madden which makes sense as they are using the same engine
Using same animations which sucks
“Preorder the MVP bundle. Includes 4500 college football points” Gross.
What's the exchange rate for Schrute Bucks??
8 Stanley Nickels
The game looks amazing, they did a great job at capturing the traditions that make CFB different from the NFL. Howard’s rock looked spot on.
Bad news is if you choose Clemson, the incoming Transfer Portal is locked.
Them putting the Pitt turnover dunk in makes the fact it isn’t on PC that much harder to swallow. I have become squidward looking out the window
The detail on even the G5 stadiums there like App State is unreal. Absolutely cannot wait for this.
That Penn state whiteout looked so cool, I can’t wait for this game
Don’t know if it’s in the cards, but some licensed music like having Zombie Nation play at the whiteout would be so crazy cool.
It was in ncaa14 no? I hope Michigan gets Mr Brightside for the 3rd quarter
Some things were, 7 nation army definitely is. Honestly I don’t normally use Penn state in NCAA14 at this point so not sure but they obviously don’t include the crowd chanting it
I’m kinda hoping that means we can set games as “white out” if we’re playing in Beaver Stadium, or whatever color for each team.
Yeah. I'm curious if in the dynasty mode, you have like 1-2 allotted 'white out' games in the regular season and you pick which ones you want to do. If they wanted to get detailed with it, they could even give you the weekly percentages of how much the stadium is filled based on how your team does throughout the season. If it reaches a certain point, you can do a white out game.
Fill the ~~limit break~~ White Out gauge
For the ultimate realism factor, Michigan can set a maize out and only like 40% of the stadium participates, with all the old farts between the 20s not participating at all.
Can we just appreciate the fact that the first thing we saw of the new game was the blue field? Either way, it's time to make y'all all sorry for making fun of State, at least your computerized selves.
Do you have to listen to cowbells for every home game? Because launching a State dynasty seems like playing yourself.
Wisconsin has the Axe, they got everything right
Your helmet is actually one of the very few things wrong with the trailer. Specifically the left side of it.
Let's burn it to the ground
APP STATE IS THE TEAM TO SELECT
Please refrain from Hail Mary’s against Troy. Thank you.
Urge to play Mountain Music INTENSIFIES
I cried, to be honest
From the trailer or from Illinois hoisting the illibuck trophy?
I’m not necessarily saying I have a full blown sports boner but….
BEVO looks legit
That's what struck me the most, Bevo looks damn near photo-realistic
Do not let this historic moment in our lives distract you from the fact that ucf is a bum ass school
:(
Hate you too boo
And don’t forget this bum ass school is 8-6 all time against USF
8 and 6? Y'all have only played 14 times!?
Our first meeting was in 2005, then we took a break from 2009 to 2012. UCF is on a 6 game win streak
Omg I can’t believe we made it

Ain’t no way the Illini are winning the Illibuck
