“At the end of the day, everybody’s team is somebody’s favorite team. We need to make sure that every team’s represented authentically, right?” said McLeod. “FAU has to have as much love and attention as our Florida State fans do as Texas does? Texas State, you know, Alabama, South Alabama. So that’s the biggest thing, which is expectations.”
Fan-favorite modes Dynasty and Road To Glory set a new standard for college football greatness for fans ready to construct their own powerhouse program as a created coach or vie for the Heisman as a player, while the all-new Road to the College Football Playoff and College Football Ultimate Team™ bring fresh online experiences and ways to play.
Fans will be immersed into the most iconic settings, stadiums and traditions of college football, from The Big House to The Swamp, Tuscaloosa to College Station, and everywhere in between.

The sights, sounds, fight songs, mascots, commentators, and unique touches that make up college football gamedays across all 134 FBS universities, bowl games, and the College Football Playoff will come to life.
“We’re college football sickos. I think that the biggest thing is that we’ve immersed ourselves within the college football ecosystem. Whether we’re watching games, we’re attending games. We have people on this team who are traveling to Wyoming to watch games, and we’re lucky to have UCF in our backyard. We’ve taken a bunch of team members to UCF. We went out to a space game,” McLeod said. “We immersed our team in that atmosphere, mainly because our whole presentation mantra hasn’t been about broadcast presentation. It’s more been about beyond broadcast. It’s about feeling that pageantry being on the field. So what better way to do that than to immerse our team actually in those events.”
