Anyone care that EA Sports just announced a new college football video game, first in 10+ years, to be released this summer?

Yes. It's been in the pipeline for at least a year. We talked about it on here. They received recordings of the Southerners and should have a good rendering of the stadium.

I'm kind of concerned because a lot of schools have posted graphics confirming that they will be in the game but nothing from JSU yet

I'm not sure it's a given that everyone will be added to the game.

Cockygeek is correct. We will be in the game. Question will be what players will be in the game. Players will have to opt in at the going NIL rate or just be replaced by generic players.
I saw a post from Eastern Washington with four different covers for the game for them. Wonder if we’ll get covers for each school.

Just some social media interns having fun. EA has said that FCS teams will not be in the game.

In 2001ish, my son & I set up a Dynasty team using JSU, replacing Vandy in the SEC (of course). Our QB was Reggie Stancil, and naturally he won the Heisman. At the next Gamecock football game, I walked up to Reggie during warmups & said "congratulations!" He asked for what, & when I told him he'd won the Heisman in my son's Dynasty team, he flashed the biggest grin.

I saw a post from Eastern Washington with four different covers for the game for them. Wonder if we’ll get covers for each school. Just some social media interns having fun. EA has said that FCS teams will not be in the game. According to Matt Brown of Extra Points, who has become sort of the default expert reporter when it comes to NCAA Football 25, all the bolded statements above are correct: - JSU is definitely IN THE GAME.
- Players will have to opt in at the specified NIL rate. No individual bargaining. Safe to say most JSU players will opt in. Only ones who wouldn't are 5-star prima donnas and/or guys getting some real crappy advice from their agents.
- Any non-FBS graphics are 100% just social media interns having fun. EWU is not in the game because...
- Only FBS teams are included. It will include transitional teams, though. KSU definitely made the cut. I believe Delaware may have as well.
As for the "official" graphics... there are a VERY limited number of them out there so far. They were not just P5 teams, but POWER P5 teams. (Think Bama, Michigan, UGA, as opposed to Mississippi State, Vandy, and Purdue.) There is/was a rumor several weeks ago that the official announcement (this was only a "teaser") may include custom graphics for ALL FBS teams who have confirmed their participation in the game. This would indicate that JSU would receive those graphics as well. The official announcement is set for May. (The May announcement, at least, is confirmed by EA Sports.)

No sooner did I write this than I had an article come across my phone's newsfeed which suggested there may have been a change in the non-FCS plans. So take the "ONLY FBS" statement with a grain or two of salt. There's still a LOT of uncertainty here. In fairness, the article I read did not quote any named or unnamed sources within EA. They simply jumped to a conclusion based on posts from EWU, EKU, and other FCS programs, especially Gardner-Webb, who stated EXPLICITLY "We are IN THE GAME" in a tweet, only to pull that tweet down a few hours later. I'll say this with near 100% certainty, though... Only FBS teams will have their actual stadiums, mascots, and fight songs included in the game. FCS teams will have to suffer the indignity of what we had to endure in NCAA 13, playing in a generic stadium with some hokey generic fight song playing. For NCAA 25, Jax State will have Burgess-Snow, Cocky, and the Southerners IN THE GAME.

If you can't win multiple championships with Arkansas-Pine Bluff, then what's the point?

I could actually see FCS stadiums, jerseys and logos, but generic players weigh just “QB” or “WR” on the back of their jerseys to avoid the additional NIL costs. Maybe they even replace the numbers with position abbreviations to avoid any potential NIL confusion.
