EA Sports offered FBS players a minimum of $600 and a copy of the game to have their likeness included in it. It also offered some players NIL deals to promote the game through an ambassador program.
More than 11,000 players have accepted an offer to be in the game.
College Football 25 will be the first version of EA Sports’ college football franchise to be released since 2013 when the game stopped being made amid lawsuits accusing it of using players’ likenesses without paying them. The NCAA’s approval in 2021 of players being able to profit from their brand opened the door for the game to be made again.
