It's coming back: EA Sports announces return of college football video game

[JonLP24]

In a move that's already lighting up the gaming world, EA Sports announced it would be rebooting its popular college football video game that had been discontinued since 2013.

According to ESPN, a return date or date to announce when the return will happen hasn't been set. The game will not be available for the 2021 college football season, however.

"As we look for the momentum that we're building on in sports, it all starts with the passion of our fans and the opportunities of what they are interested in," EA Sports vice president and general manager, Daryl Holt told ESPN. "I don't think a visit where I go outside wearing a piece of EA Sports branded apparel, that someone doesn't go, 'Hey, when is college football coming back?'

EA Sports has partnered with CLC, a collegiate licensing company, so that it could include the FBS programs, uniforms, traditions and playbooks, according to ESPN. More than 100 teams will be available.

2. EA would have to rush things to cover my college alma mater.

Our first game this season is on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Go Pirates!

3. Cool. I've been running NCAA 2014 for seven years now.

Unlike Madden it has a true “Coach Mode”. I just snap the ball after calling the play and audibles. I don’t have to control individual players with carpal tunnel inducing hand motion.
