EA Sports’ Latest Announcement on College Football Video Game Leaves Fans Unhappy

College football and video game fans will have to wait a little longer for a new game from EA Sports. It was recently announced that the upcoming video game EA Sports College Football won’t be released until the summer of 2024. It was reported that the game was set to be released next summer, but after not having a college football video game for nine years, EA Sports wants to make sure it puts out the best game possible. 

EA Sports vice president and general manager Daryl Holt told ESPN that compensating players that are in the game is an issue they are ironing out. “If you look back on where we were talking in 2021, that road was blocked,” Holt said. “I think I even said something to the fact that we were passengers on this journey, just like anyone else. Well, the road’s open now, but it’s still under construction.”

The reason there hasn’t been a college football video game since NCAA Football ’14 is players weren’t compensated for being in the game. The rise of name, image and likeness (NIL) has opened the door for EA Sports to bring back something fans loved for many years, but those same fans aren’t happy they have to wait another year and a half to get their hands on the game.

EA Sports’ college football video game series will return in the summer of 2024, EA Sports’ VP and GM told @mikerothstein.

A Plan

EA Sports could literally just re-skin Madden in generic stadiums and we’d be happy for year 1 of EA Sports College Football

Bring Back MVP NCAA Baseball

EA delaying “NCAA Football” until 2024 pretty much guarantees that the game will be a disappointment. People will expect to see an extra year’s work of quality that will not be delivered.
