Features Enhancing Home-Field Advantage
To intensify the home-field advantage and make away games more challenging, EA Sports is bringing back the Stadium Pulse Meter, a feature first introduced in NCAA Football 06. The Stadium Pulse Meter measures crowd noise, causing distractions for the opposing team, such as shaking the screen and making it difficult to read plays and preview selected plays in the huddle.
More Immersive Experiences
The Stadium Pulse and the list of toughest stadiums are just the beginning of what EA Sports has planned for College Football 25. The game promises to replicate the atmosphere of a live college football game, with features like:
- 169 themed events, such as the Penn State Whiteout game
- Over 200 chants, including Florida State’s war chant and tomahawk chop
Release Date
College Football 25 will be released on July 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. For a deeper look at what the game has to offer, check out our hands-on preview, where we explain why it’s more than just a clone of the Madden NFL games.
