EA sports college football 25 roster news…

I hope but realistically doubt we can edit rosters.

I'm guessing we'll be able to edit, but not share rosters.

Looks like Arch Manning is opting out so we are going to have to create a new 3rd string QB for Texas

This article was on ESPN. It says that he doesn't want to be in the game until he is "the guy" at Texas. Sounds like if he'll probably be in 2026.

Arch’s response as to why he’s opting out: he wants to “focus on football”… How in the world does agreeing to be included in a video game take ANYTHING away from his football career??

See, I just don’t understand why any of these kids would opt out. You get to be in a major video game, the college version of Madden, that hasn’t been released in 11 years, and you make some money and get a free copy of the game in the process. And that’s literally it. It takes NOTHING away from you (not your money, not your time/focus, nothing). Why would you turn that down?

And like I said in an earlier post, with the ability to create/edit players being taken away from us, this means Arch Manning will not be in this years game in any form or fashion, official or otherwise. We are literally blocked from having him, even in created player form. What happens if Arch becomes the starter at some point in the season? That would instantly render the Texas Longhorns roster completely irrelevant in the game, as they’d be missing their quarterback. And for sports gamers like me, who like to have complete roster immersion, and have everything as up to date as possible, it’s a MASSIVE blow to the enjoyment factor of the game, to the point where I’m questioning buying the game altogether…

That's arrogant.

Is ANYONE REALLY surprised that a "Manning" wouldn't opt in?

Peyton seems like a fun guy who would have opted in. Eli on the other hand...
