Deep Dive: How NIL & Transfer Portal Integration Transforms EA Sports College Football 25

EA Sports College Football 25 is set to release this summer, and NIL and the transfer portal will be two of the biggest new additions. However, we don't know how these mechanics will work yet. So today, we are speculating and giving our ideas on how these two new features should be included.

NCAA Football was an American football video game series developed by EA Sports in which players control and compete against current Division I FBS college teams. The series is a younger brother to the Madden NFL series.
In July 2013, the NCAA announced that it would not renew its licensing contract with Electronic Arts because of an ongoing legal dispute regarding the use of player likenesses in the games. However, this contract only covers the use of the NCAA name and related logos, not those of individual schools and conferences, which are negotiated individually or through the Collegiate Licensing Company. The CLC concurrently announced that it would extend its existing licensing deal with EA through 2017, ensuring that EA Sports could continue the series without the NCAA branding. However, the series was placed on hiatus in September 2013, following three major conferences pulling their trademark licenses from EA, and uncertainties surrounding the results of lawsuits involving the use of player likenesses in-game. However, EA Sports is still making an attempt to get the series back going.
Players' real names and exact likenesses are not used in the game. While the Madden NFL series uses real player names and likenesses, those players are compensated for the use of their image. Due to NCAA restrictions on the amateur status of athletes, names are not allowed. Additionally, current college players cannot be used as cover athletes. Instead, each cover features a player whose college eligibility ended the season before the game's release, wearing his former college uniform. The only two exceptions have been the Wii version of NCAA Football 09, which featured Sparty, the mascot of Michigan State University, on the cover, and NCAA Football 06 when Desmond Howard was featured on the cover striking the Heisman Trophy pose during his career at Michigan, despite not playing for Michigan for more than 15 years.
Although EA Sports does not claim that the players in the game represent real life players, the jersey number, position, height, weight, home state, and ethnicity are aligned with the real players. Fans of any particular team are sure to recognize their favorite players (for example, in NCAA Football 2014, University of North Carolina Tar Heels QB #2 would correspond to QB Bryn Renner). Actual usage of a player's real name would be in violation of the NCAA's policy regarding student-athletes. Amateur "roster makers" will often manually associate player names and will upload a roster file to the built-in roster sharing system. As of the 09 release, EA has put in the EA Locker feature which allows remote roster sharing online through either Xbox Live or PlayStation Network depending on the console.

I think it would be cool if for the transfer portal, the more you recruited a kid as a HS recruit the better your odds of landing him as a transfer vs the schools that didn't recruit him.
I'd also like some sort of morale/happiness/trust where if you start trying to over recruit certain guys they'll lean towards leaving to play somewhere. To change that you would have to start giving them a few snaps, or more NIL, to increase that and keep them out of the portal. This would help keep it interesting playing with the powerhouse programs if you can't just stack five stars, redshirt them and play them as a RS Jr. If you do it should take some work that might take away from recruiting elsewhere.

The transfer portal is the X factor in this game that can take it to the next level. Its a impossible situation so sounds like they could be doing the right thing and adding sliders of some kind. Also let me force players into the portal. In 14 was having to cut 97 overall QB's and just pretend they entered the portal because the flawed progression system. Hopefully the madden FA logic is used to judge player happiness and let me check on all CPU players as well.

I made my own WR from central California. I signed him to the University of Nevada. He started out on the bench, where he still currently is (damn work and sleep taking up my free time). So far the only NIL deal he has had was a 6 week contract from a local barbershop. This contract came in at just 3 weeks into the season, for a bench riding player. I took the deal of course. 2 free haircuts and some advertising of what barber shop I’m at. The deal also included all of the players for my specific position.

Bottom line: expect a difficult time keeping a loaded roster and becoming a dynasty

Good. Last game was too easy

[@cjboyer4355]

I imagine NIL will be used similar to how pitches like campus lifestyle, playing time, distance to home, etc use to be in the old NCAA games. The more you win the higher of a collective you have and if a player lists NIL as a high interest of theirs then that highers or lowers your chances of signing them but I don’t see you being able to offer them a said amount seeing how real coaches legally can’t do that anyways.

I hope they have cutscenes like FIFA had when you go to talk to them

They could have another coaching tree and label it Fundraiser or something similar
