The crowds in College Football 25 will be unlike any other sports game.
College Football 25 developers have gone above and beyond to make the crowds as dynamic and true-to-life as possible. Get ready for student sections that are louder than other fans, more likely sell-outs for undefeated teams, real-game audio from 41 different games, and so much more in College Football 25. Here's the full breakdown of crowds and environments from today's Sights and Sounds Deep Dive.
College Football 25 crowds: Everything you need to know
EA Sports College Football 25 developers put in the extra hours to ensure every team is correctly represented with fan traditions, chants, hand signs, and everything else that goes into making a home stadium dynamic. And, according to developers, the game is even going to include real-world audio from 41 different games, thanks to a partnership with ESPN.
"Remember that OT game from 2022 between LSU and Alabama? Yeah, we were there. And we got all of it."
Student sections and fluctuating attendance
This sort of effort also extends to other things like fight songs, coordinated crowd color themes, and so many other aspects that make crowds feel as realistic as possible. Now, if you are on an undefeated run with a smaller school, your stadium will steadily increase in attendance as the season rolls on, resulting in a more powerful crowd noise meter. This will be at its loudest in front of your team's student section who, "stands the whole game cheering on their team."
