EA Sports ‘College Football 25’ fans rejoice in game’s long-awaited return: ‘Highlight of my year’
NY Post
It’s been on the sidelines far too long.
EA Sports “College Football 25,” out on Friday, is being dubbed the most highly anticipated sports video game of all time.
During the 2000s, it was ranked among the most popular games ever sold. But when new versions were discontinued in 2013 amid a nasty gridlock of legal battles, fans were devastated.
Now, more than a decade later, hardcore users are rejoicing in its return.
“When the clock struck midnight on the new year, all I could think about was that it was finally coming back,” diehard fan Richard Clemens, 25, of Norwalk, Connecticut, told The Post.
He added that next to getting engaged, playing the collegiate gridiron franchise again — one that ran for 21 years before being halted — is “the highlight of my year.”
