Gamers Can Now Play With Former K-State Stars Like Felix Anudike-Uzomah In EA's College Football `25
When former Kansas State stars Felix Anudike-Uzomah and Ben Sinnott were in college, they were unable to see themselves on a video game.
At the time, the NCAA was pre-NIL. It was also trying to find a way for amateur athletes to monetize their likenesses, thus the popular college football game by EA Sports was discontinued.
Now, with athletes like K-State basketball player Coleman Hawkins making millions, the game is back. Players have returned but what about those who missed it?
According to a report by USA Today, the game has the option of featuring stars from the past. So Anudike-Uzomah (Kansas City Chiefs) and Sinnott (Washington Commanders) will make appearances on College Football `25 when it's released in mid-August.
The video game was discontinued in 2013 but current NFL players are available in "ultimate team mode."
