The EA Sports College Football 25 news is coming in fast and furious today as the team updated their website and posted a new Campus Huddle with additional details. The gameplay will feature a new Wear and Tear system, pre-snap recognition and HFA. Team Builder will make its return as players can customize their program and utilize the website. The team also mentions Team Builder content can be used in offline Play Now and private Dynasty modes, but nothing about online modes unfortunately. As for cross-play, the FAQ states only Road to the College Football Playoff, College Football Ultimate Team, and Play a Friend will be supported. That too is a bit of a bummer since Online Dynasty isn’t on the list.
