6 thoughts on EA Sports College Football 25 from a Michigan football perspective

EA Sports College Football 25 has been out for 24 hours and the reaction has been positive. Michigan football fans seem particularly happy and I can vouch for that having played the game.

Many college football fans wondered if it would be Madden but with a few changes and it isn't that. I have barely gotten into the Dynasty mode, but as far as gameplay and some impressions of Michigan football on the game, here are six thoughts.

The atmosphere is awesome

EA Sports did a great job of making the game feel like the real deal. From crowd chants to different music, every stadium has its own feel.

One of the coolest things is how all the traditional in-game music is played for Michigan football. The turnover buffs are a really cool feature too and playing at the Big House in this game is glorious.

You can ground and pound

I found the running game mechanics to be very realistic. The blocking is very natural and sometimes, just like in real life, you have to be patient and allow things to develop.

Donovan Edwards is incredibly fun to play with though. The spin move is a weapon in this game and I'd reccomend using it with Edwards because it's deadly.

The zone-read with Edwards and Alex Orji is difficult to defend. That's what I'm hoping for during the real 2024 Michigan football season. Michigan isn't afraid to run zone-read stuff but they didn't want J.J. McCarthy to run and defenses knew that.

At any rate, Michigan football fans who want to "Smash" as Sherrone Moore says, will enjoy this game.
