EA Sports College Football 2025 had its early release yesterday, and the majority of the reactions have been very positive.
Thanks to social media we have been kept up to speed with what different people are seeing in the game, including some Clemson Football players who are represented.
When we got a sneak peek of the graphics a month ago, Walker Parks commented that he thought EA Sports had not accurately portrayed his size.
Based on what we saw yesterday, they appear to have rectified that concern.
They fixed Walker Parks lol https://t.co/jH49UCcxc7 pic.twitter.com/w6WBrogfaS

Like Parks, Peter Woods isnβt sure the game has accurately portrayed his likeness, specifically his face.

There are also a few other comments about the likenesses of other players.
Cade Klubnik β¦ the faces being a bit off seems to be a theme. https://t.co/0V5ynpMmqF pic.twitter.com/wl1C32Obmm

These opinions are valid, but frankly, they are a lot closer than what they used to be in the old versions of the game. Briningstool does kind of look like Justin Beiber, though.
TJ Moore seems to be pleased with his rating of 80. That is a decent rating from what I have seen, especially considering he is a true freshman who didnβt even get on the field as an early enrollee.
He is, however, disappointed that EA Sports got his number wrong.

Another freshman, Tavoy Feagin, is similarly disappointed that EA Sports didnβt nail all the details. In his case, they have his position wrong.
@EASPORTSCollege 68 Saftey???

Feagin will definitely be lining up at cornerback this fall unless EA knows something we donβt know.
Jon Blau from the Charleston Post & Courier shared this touchdown celebration by Phil Mafah.

Not bad, but I do hope some better ones simply havenβt seen the light of day yet.
The rest of us who didnβt get the early release of the game will be able to play starting this Friday, July 19th. This is the first new edition in over ten years and the first to include the names of the athletes on the roster.
It does not, however, include the coaches.
So coaches arenβt in the game. But the coach you get with Clemson, Garrett Renedo, won national titles in 2016 and β18. His alma mater is Texas, though. pic.twitter.com/R17QUxVKxC
