EA Sports College Football 25 Gets New Update

Highlights

• The latest patch for EA Sports College Football 25 fixes bugs like disappearing scoreboards and player freezes in Dynasty Mode.
• Update 1.008 allows players to change positions of freshmen recruits.
• A major update for the game is expected to coincide with NCAA season, enhancing gameplay realism and fixing technical issues in the game.

Patch 1.008 for EA Sports College Football 25, also known as the August 19 Title Update, is now live. EA Sports College Football 25 was released on the Sony PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S systems on July 19.

The latest entry in the long-running EA Sports College Football series has received several updates since it launched. Update 1.007 for EA Sports College Football 25 dropped on August 8, adding new shotgun formations, adjusting AI behavior, and making various other tweaks to the game. Developer EA Orlando, which also created the Madden NFL franchise, has seemingly focused on dealing with technical issues in its newest patch for EA Sports College Football 25.

In a post on the official EA community portal, the EA Sports College Football 25 team highlighted four of the bugs that were fixed in the title’s 1.008 update, including one that caused scoreboards to disappear during games. The latest patch also addressed other problems that popped up in the offline version of EA Sports College Football 25‘s Dynasty Mode, such as freezes. Dynasty Mode gives players the ability to create their own college football program from the ground up.

While a post regarding update 1.008 for EA Sports College Football 25 has yet to be made on the game’s Campus Huddle blog, other changes not specified by the development team have been spotted. According to ComicBook, people are now able to change the positions of freshmen that they recruit in EA Sports College Football 25 thanks to the August 19 Title Update.

EA Sports College Football 25 reportedly attracted 5 million players in its first week. The Frostbite-powered title has also generated $500 million in sales, but it still faced issues like most modern releases. For instance, following the game’s launch, many discovered that Ohio State Buckeyes running back Quinshon Judkins was overpowered in EA Sports College Football 25 due to his Platinum-level 360 skill. Judkins was considered so broken that several competitive communities called for a complete ban of his team in matches and some even dubbed him as the best player in the game. Fortunately, update 1.007 rebalanced Judkins’ spin move, making him far less powerful.

A major update for EA Sports College Football 25 is expected to be released alongside the start of the next National Collegiate Athletic Association-organized season. This year’s regular season will run from August 24 to December 14. Meanwhile, the postseason will begin on December 14 and end on January 20, 2025.
