No official release date has yet been confirmed for EA Sports College Football, although Darren Rovell did recently say on Twitter that he’s spoken to an insider at the company who has suggested that the targeted release for EA Sports College Football is 2023.
What about the name change though? Why did NCAA Football need rebranding?
With the ever shifting landscape of college football and an ongoing fight for college athletes to be able to profit from their name and likeness; the new name should allow EA Sports more creative control and freedom for the future.
The current structure of college football is subject to change, and should any major changes occur in the next few years, or if the licensing structure shifts at all in the future; by avoiding the NCAA branding altogether, EA Sports is well prepared for this and able to pivot if necessary.
EA Sports College Football will be the first college football game from EA Sports since 2013’s NCAA Football 14.
