A travesty!

CFB25 isn't a good game. It's just the first in ten years so everyone is excited and over hyping. It's a nice base start to bring the series back, but it's not a quality game so no surprise it's not on the game of the year awards.

Hopefully, this base game will expand and they can fix the numourous errors in gameplay and the barebone modes that are just bland and boring. Perhaps next year the game will reach the level to be considered for awards.

I enjoy the game. I am still playing it today and am having a lot of fun with it. I've played probably around 20 years of dynasty to this point across 4 dynasties.

That said, the game is far from without flaw.

- Custom conferences are a mess
- Sim stats still need a lot of tuning
- There's a heap of missing QOL things like being able to look at team cards, player stats when looking through various menus like awards as an example
- The game is terrible at giving the player any idea as to how a majority of the mechanics work or what certain symbols mean
- Recruiting was weak at launch but has gotten better yet still has plenty of room for improvement
- QB logic is years behind where Madden has gotten it to

The game is fun and what it does well it does well, but my love for college football carries a lot of weight with my enjoyment with this game. If they can fix many of the issues above next year, it'll be a great game. I'm glad the game is back, it's fun, but it has too many issues that can be considered "major" for me to think it's a snub for it not to be mentioned.

this is insane considering they have top spin on the list and that isn't even the best tennis game that came out this year. WWE could have been put under fighting game category. And there are enough racing games that come out every year that could have been a category by itself. I mean to not have College or Madden on the list is crazy.

Makes zero sense to me.

Especially since CF 25 is still apparently the #1 selling game of 2024 so far(as of late October, not counting the MVP bundle sales).

I have a very hard time beliving it's the number 1 selling game *Unless you mean in the US.
