EA SPORTS™ College Football 25

Accessibility Resources

Welcome to EA SPORTS™ College Football 25. As the ultimate college football simulation, you can immerse yourself in the iconic atmospheres of 134 FBS teams; complete with authentic stadiums, traditions, and rivalries.

Before you play this game, we want to make sure your accessibility onboarding goes smoothly. Being an in-depth simulation experience, players can expect a variety of different game modes each tailored to a specific and unique College Football experience. Customizable gameplay parameters are supported for rules, difficulty, and AI behavior. If you are new to the genre or returning to College Football after some time, we suggest diving into the Mini-games and Practice modes to hone your skills.

During the bootflow, players will be presented with Menu Narration and other accessibility settings. Within these menus, players can turn off screen shake, remove motion blur, apply full-screen colorblind filters, and make icons larger. Though control remapping is not available, players can customize certain kicking and passing styles. To ensure enjoyable gameplay for everyone, there is a comprehensive set of Player and CPU AI sliders that can be finely tuned with five distinct difficulty levels.
