EA Sports College Football is coming back and current and former college football stars are overjoyed.
It’s Christmas in February with the announcement from EA Sports that their popular college football video game is making a long-awaited return.
While there is no return date yet, it’s not expected to come out this year and developments in the ongoing name, image and likeness litigation is going to determine just how great the gameplay will be. However, don’t let that ruin your excitement because EA Sports is back in the game of making college football games for the first time since NCAA Football 14.
