Dynasty and Road to Glory join a new College Football Playoff mode

With the release of EA Sports College Football 25 just two months away, we've now gotten our first glimpse of what the game looks like in action, thanks to a real trailer released by publisher Electronic Arts on Friday morning.

Going from Guns N' Roses' original recording of "Welcome to the Jungle" – a typical hype-up-the-fans song – to a marching band version is a very nice touch in this trailer. And it plays over footage of time-honored college football traditions from around the country: unique team entrances (with, for the first time, real names on the back of jerseys), mascots that drive everyone crazy and crowds singing fight songs. It's clear that developer EA Tiburon has put a lot of effort into bringing college football's game day atmosphere to life in College Football 25.

EA also revealed the first details about College Football 25's modes and gameplay, confirming the return of fan-favorite series and career modes – Dynasty and Road to Glory, respectively – as well as a new competitive online offering called Road to the College Football Playoff. In that mode, players can choose a school and work to win a national championship by advancing through divisions and gaining ranks. In a way, its existence can be seen as a nod to the 11-year gap between EA's college football games: The College Football Playoff wasn't a thing when EA released NCAA Football 14 back in 2013. And, yes, EA's microtransaction-based fantasy team setup, Ultimate Team, numbers be a big part of the game, especially now that EA can use the real names of the players.
