College Football 25 Is Mid. NFL Conference Championship Preview

Since I have another topic to talk about for the Pro Bowl, this is the only time I will get this hot take in: EA Sports College Football 25 is mid. I understand people were excited for the return of the college football video game that it was the highest selling sports game ever in the US surpassing NBA 2K21 and second-best seller of 2024 behind Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. I also understand people were thrilled that the likeness of current players was in the game instead of generic players even though none of the coaches are in it. And yes, it's neat that different teams have their own pregame introductions, turnover rituals and celebrations. But if you take off the nostalgia glasses, you'll see this is a meh game for something that came from a AAA company.

For instance, I finished the FVB Sports FBS Playoffs last week and during those simulations, I got annoyed with how repetitive the commentary was. What made it worse was they rarely said the players, teams and bowl game names compared to NCAA Football 14. And speaking of repetition, there are way too many crowd shots of the same models doing the same thing. This may come off as nitpicky but let's just be real here. The lackluster graphics combined with the limited customization, repetitive crowd shots, cheerleaders looking the same on both squads and upside-down fields makes this an easy pass for NCAA Football 17 on the Xbox 360. There was nothing really that blew me away compared to other games that came out last year. Now if you excuse me, I got some playoff stats to collect and maybe 3 more AI written posts to do.

THE GAMES

Washington Commanders   24

Philadelphia Eagles             17

Commies QB Jayden Daniels is a lock to win Offensive Rookie of the Year but with the way Dan Quinn turned this franchise around, he should win Coach of the Year as well (And Sam Darnold should win Comeback Player of the Year and offensive linemen should get their own award).

Buffalo Bills                22

Kansas City Chiefs    10

We got another game where people accuse the refs and NFL in general helping the Chiefs win. Here's the thing, Patrick Mahomes is the face of the league so he's gonna get calls that lesser QBs won't. That's the case in every sport where the top players get star calls while the others can't catch a break. The best way to combat that is to play a perfect game with no turnovers, no penalties and scoring on every drive. Hopefully the Bills can shut down Taylor Swifts' team. 

LAST WEEK: 2-2

PLAYOFFS:   5-5
