EA Sports College Football 25 may not have appeared at The Game Awards, but it's done something arguably better.

The Deseret News ran simulations of each of the four first-round games on College Football 25, and according to the video game, it’s a good thing to have home-field advantage in the opening round.

EA Sports College Football 25 has officially become the best-selling sports game in U.S. history, surpassing NBA 2K21, according to Circana. The game ranks among the top 50 best-selling video games ever and leads 2024 sales despite Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 dominating recent months.

In Road to Glory, players juggle the priorities of college life, making decisions about when they should train, study, or work on their brand.
