NC State Players Can Opt to Be in EA Sports’ College Football 2025 Today

As someone who grew up playing EA Sports’ NCAA Football video game, call me ecstatic that it will be returning this summer as EA Sports College Football 25.

The reason the game is making a comeback is because of the new landscape of NIL.

As of today, NC State football players, as well as players from all 134 FBS schools, will have the opportunity to opt in to being in the game.

Every player that opts in will be paid $600 and will receive a free copy of the game. Players will remain in the game for the entirety of their collegiate career, and will be paid annually, unless they choose to opt out.

Players will also have the chance to make additional NIL money. According to ESPN, there will be:

There will also be more than 100 additional NIL opportunities for athletes to work with EA Sports. These could include social media posts, on-campus promotions, advertisements or even being the game’s cover athlete. (ESPN)

Who do you think will be the highest graded players on NC State’s roster?
