Mississippi State quarterback Mike Wright said aloud what many were thinking when it was announced that the EA Sports “College Football 25” video game is coming out this summer.

“The day ratings get released,” Wright posted on X, “this app is going up in flames.”

The full reveal of the game, after an 11-year hiatus, is set to come in May, according to EA’s official website.

Players can already opt into an NIL deal to be featured in the game.

With that comes a compensation of $600 and a free copy of the game.

Is there excitement among players about the opportunity to be featured in the game? It appears so, but it’ll likely come with some drama.

Players won’t be assigning their own ratings – which is a good thing, but something sure to spark debate.

Games similar to “College Football 25” usually assign ratings on a scale of 1-99.

As Wright noted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, former Oregon quarterback and Heisman trophy winner Marcus Mariota was only a 90 overall.

First-year coach Jeff Lebby made a splash at receiver through the portal.

The Bulldogs added UTEP transfer Kelly Akharaiyi who ranked fourth nationally with 21.52 yards per catch last season.

As fun as establishing the run may be to some, the virtual sphere is one where vertical passes are frequented. Akharaiyi will be a threat.
