The hit video game EA Sports College Football 25 has officially become the best-selling sports game of all time. NBA 2K21 was the previous holder of the title and held it for multiple years. College football is at its peak at the moment with the start of the playoffs and bowl games. Most fans expected College Football 25 to eventually reach this milestone, but not this quickly. Many factors explain why this game is so popular with fans.
The King of Sports Is College Football 25
As the newly reformed College Football Playoff kicked off this weekend, sales were expected to rise. The highly anticipated game was soaring in sales within the first few weeks, and for a good reason. Fans waited over 10 years for a new College Football game to be released after the massive success of NCAA 14. The mechanics of the game are far different from Madden, and fans noticed how EA captured the college atmosphere.
2K has dominated the sports video game market for the last decade, but this feat proves it is a new environment. The gameplay is completely different than that of Madden despite both being EA Sports games. The realism factor takes the immersion to a new level compared to other sports video games. While Madden may never compete with the new College Football series, Madden 25 has its own success.
The Future of EA Sports College Football
This is the first installment of a College Football game to be released in over 10 years. A game with such high expectations performed up to the hype. While there have been previous College Football video games, this takes the sport to a new level. EA Sports seems very active in the development of this series; the updates will continue to flow until the next game.
College Football 26 is bound to be one of the most anticipated games on the market. The improvements in the future are an exciting concept to think about since College Football 25 is already so in-depth. Publishers have kept a close eye on the success of the hit sports game, and we can expect either more competition or a monopoly on College Football games.
Potential College Basketball Game
Due to the massive success of College Football 25, 2K Sports has discussed a revival of College Basketball video games. As with the College Football game market, a College Basketball game has not been released in over a decade. NCAA Basketball 10 was the last released game, and fans are just as excited about a potential revival.
A College Basketball game with the combined effort of 2K and EA could dethrone College Football 25. These are only rumors, and nothing has been confirmed to be in development. The insider report is confident that it is in discussion, and it would make sense. The last game was released in 2009, and fans may not be as loyal to this franchise. If talks continue it would be very smart for 2K and EA to take advantage of this rise in the sports game market.
Conclusion
Long-time fans have expected the success of College Football 25, which is a game with many active players. A factor that makes a player return to the game is having a strong online and offline mode. The chaos of College Football is truly captured in this game and is fun to play alone or with friends. The only game I can imagine beating College Football 25 is College Football 26, or a new College Basketball game. Fans seem to have finally been listened to with 2K and EA Sports making big moves in the coming years.
