The hit game College Football 25 has officially broken the all-time sales record for a US Football game. Clear differences are seen in both EA Sports games, Madden 25 and College Football 25. With the decade-long hiatus of any College Football video game, fan excitement with the release is at an all-time high. Consistent updates on bugs and rosters make College Football 25 a game that keeps players coming back, but the gameplay is essential.
A top reason for the success of College Football 25 is the gameplay. The atmosphere is completely different than Madden and fans have noticed. NCAA Football 14 had a formula that worked, and EA Sports has taken advantage of the established game. The realism is so in-depth with a large number of features, graphics, and new NIL rules making it an exciting experience for fans.
The game modes Dynasty and Road To Glory are insanely popular and are a large part of the success. In the middle of the Football season, fans typically prefer either the NFL or College Football. Road To Glory has had a more positive reaction compared to the Madden Superstar Mode. The fast-paced season makes Dynasty Mode more entertaining and easier for the player. While Road To Glory is limited to 4 years and Dynasty is 30 years it is still a must play.
Madden 25 had an uphill battle competing with College Football 25, but the sales of College Football 25 are unprecedented. The highest Madden installment in sales is Madden NFL 07, which has been a fan favorite up to today. When looking at sales for all sports video games, NBA 2K has had more success than EA. While the future of Madden is in the air, EA College Football should continue to have success.
EA Sports holds 3 spots in the top 10 of best-selling sports video games. The top spot is currently held by NBA 2K21, and College Football 25 is sitting at the 2 spot. Many believe that the game will eventually move up to the number 1 spot. A statistic to note is neither NBA 2K25 nor Madden 25 has made it into the top 10 in sales among sports video games in the US. The Football season is reaching its peak, and people are bound to try College Football 25.
The success and hype behind College Football 25 is a rare sight in sports video games. With the expansion of the College Football Playoff, the excitement has never been higher. Fans have expressed their enjoyment with all College Football 25 has to offer, and the game will continue to expand. Many may have expected the game to have this level of success, but as developers have more to work with anything can happen in the future. Madden has a long road ahead to compete with the new College Football series, but EA Sports is not complaining. College Football 25 is one of the greatest sports video games ever made, and the sales prove it.
