Modern Gaming Issues Have Hit EA Sports College Football, as Gamers Predicted Server and Space Issues
New game, old problems. Fans of EA Sports' latest take on college football have been hoping for a touchdown on day one of its release.
With EA Sports College Football 25 nearing its release, many fans of the iconic series are eager to return to the action after an extended hiatus. EA Sports has managed to overcome a host of legal issues surrounding player likenesses and college team names to finally bring the game to life after its last outing with NCAA 14 back in 2013.
However, fans of the game were cautious about its release, wondering if the game could perform to expectations in the early days of its release considering the high levels of anticipation it has garnered – which they believed would translate to an overload of players that the game’s servers may not be able to handle.

Created entirely from scratch, the new title in the franchise was announced back in February 2021, with EA Sports investing a lot of time and effort into delivering an experience that would resonate with its players by recapturing the magic of previous titles.
With a host of obstacles in the company’s way, it has successfully managed to navigate its way to a title that is all set to bring some of America’s favorite college football teams to current-gen consoles, allowing players to become a part of something greater than themselves while enjoying a game of American football.
EA Could Not Overcome Some of Modern Gaming’s Problems
While EA Sports’ efforts are nothing less than commendable, the new game’s release had its players raising some valid concerns about common issues that plague games of its size and scale when they are released.

Many players took to Reddit to ponder about whether the game will actually be playable the minute it is released considering the immense strain that massive player counts can put on the game’s servers, a problem that has been encountered with releases like Helldivers 2.
The post below exemplifies this, although many players responding to it have expressed confidence in EA Sports – a reputation that the company has certainly earned.
While there was some confusion about the release date in the initial parts of the conversation, many players were quick to clear that up while continuing the discourse on the game’s playability on release.
Other responses to the post seemed to have a clear plan of action in mind for enjoying the game while bypassing any potential server problems altogether.
Other players were not as optimistic, however, pointing to Madden 24, another title from EA Sports that was unplayable for a short while after its release.
Others hoped that EA Sports has learned from its past mistakes and has set things up to work well this time around.
There were also concerns about the new title’s download size, which had some players wondering if there would be a day-one patch.
The early access launch of the game has proven that not even Electronic Arts’ beloved series can escape modern gaming issues.
Fans of EA Sports College Football 25 do not have to wait too long to find out about its performance on its official launch, as the game inches ever closer to release.
They would certainly hope that the game lives up to their high expectations, in both its gameplay and performance, hoping that EA Sports rises to the occasion.
