Juice Williams, Illinois was fun as hell.

Was my go-to along with Washington State and UVA when I was in a P5 mood.

Where are all the idiots on here that said it was smart for Arch to opt out? 

Considering the bag EA just probably dropped to get him in, it was smart

There’s no way they offered him extra cash to opt in, I don’t think they’re allowed to and it’s not like even the cover athletes got more money than anyone else in the game. He just changed his mind.

Wait, you don’t think Quinn was paid extra for being on the cover? And you think Arch filmed and posted an EA commercial for $600?

Jesus dude. I know the meme around here is that you are wrong about everything but holy shit.

I was pretty sure that part of the deal was every player had to get the same amount of money. 

Your streak continues

Players who opted-in for College Football 25 receive $600 NIL checks, while several high-profile athletes landed more lucrative deals that include branding and trailer-appearances for the title ahead of the game's summer 2024 release.

Actually not true, they have different tiers of money for the athletes who they consider "influencers". The fact that Arch did this with Eli means he got a heck of a lot more than the initial buy in. He may have been negotiating with EA the first time around, or it may have been a pretty genius marketing stunt by EA.

I think Arch genuinely turned them down initially, but EA stayed on him (maybe even reached out to his uncles) until he reconsidered. An extra bag could have been thrown in as well.

Pretty sure the deal was everyone had to be compensated for their NIL. Pretty sure capitalism won and some players(higher profile) were offered more money.

Just like the NFLPA requires every player to make the same amount of money from the NFL.

Apparently this was a staged event. Genius move by EA. Also disclosed - Quinn and Travis Hunter got 6 figs for the cover.

They nailed our inability to cover the middle of the field on passing plays. 

It's in the game.

Maybe the game does a location check and issues a trigger warning if it detects the player is in College Station.

Rest easy sweet prince! Huge shoutout to EA for keeping those servers open for the last 11 years and to Operation Sports for having guys create the current rosters every year that were available to download thru roster share.

Series X, purchased in large part for this game.

Oh, I bought mine three months ago, 100% for this game.  I've had some fun dicking around with MLB The Show, FIFA or whatever it's called now, and Mortal Kombat.

But today's the big day.

I sure hope EA nailed this one.

Damn wish I had X, but I have the S. It's got 1TB so I'm good.

LOL at Tech fans thinking anyone gives half a shit about Tech.  Hell, the only two reasons anyone outside of the SW has ever seen a Texas Tech game aren't on your schedule anymore.  You think you're not getting enough attention, now, lol...?

The most unrealistic part of that video is Texas playing @ Tech.  That ain't ever happening again.
