Shiv Media Learn How to Prevent Manual Player Additions in EA Sports College Football 25
2 min readEA Sports has announced a groundbreaking decision regarding the upcoming release of their highly-anticipated college football game. In a move to respect players’ rights, the gaming giant will block gamers from manually adding players who decide not to accept offers to have their name, image, and likeness used in the game.
Players who choose to opt in, on the other hand, will not only be featured in the game but will also receive a minimum payment of $600 and a complimentary copy of EA Sports College Football 25. They will also have the opportunity to earn additional income by promoting the game.
The game will include all 134 FBS teams, including Notre Dame, whose participation was initially uncertain. Well-known analysts such as Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler, and Rece Davis will lend their voices to the game, adding to the overall authenticity.
EA Sports has been diligently working on this project since 2021 and has introduced a unique Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal system that has never been seen in a video game before. While the developers have not disclosed their exact method of preventing opt-out players from being added to the game, players will still have the option to create new athletes.
The National College Players Association has praised EA Sports for this initiative, calling it a significant step in providing opportunities for college athletes. This move comes after EA Sports faced legal challenges in the past for using players’ likenesses without proper compensation, an issue that has now been resolved with the approval of NIL deals for college athletes.
With these developments, EA Sports College Football 25 is shaping up to be a game-changer in the world of sports gaming. Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches.
