EA SPORTS College Football: Release date, Ultimate Team & all you need to know

EA SPORTS is bringing back their College Football franchise, so here’s everything you need to know about the return of this fan-favorite series. 

EA SPORTS’ last iteration of its fan-favorite college football series was all the way back in 2014. The game, titled NCAA Football ’14, marked the end of the franchise after multiple lawsuits were filed over athlete likeness, which resulted in a massive payout to players featured.

But, now almost 10 years later, we’re on the verge of finally getting another installment of the iconic sports franchise.

However, there will be some notable changes as the game returns to consoles.
