Biggest risers, fallers in EA Sports College Football 25 player ratings update

As we near the halfway point of the 2024 college football season, EA Sports has revealed the first major update to its player ratings in CFB 25. Let’s take a look at where things stand now.

College Football 25 has returned for the first time in more than a decade, and EA Sports announced recently that its release has performed even above its own expectations, with some 6.5 million unique players up to this point.

And now, for the first time ever, players who are featured in the game are allowed to take home some money as part of the new NIL environment.

That’s in addition to EA factoring the on-field performances of players into their ratings for the first time.

Let’s check in with those players who have risen and fallen the most so far in the 2024 season.
