College football fans, media react to news that EA Sports is bringing back NCAA Football
Big news broke on Tuesday, when EA Sports announced that it’s working on bringing the popular NCAA Football video game back to life. College football fans and gamers are excited about the news.
There was plenty of reaction on social media following the big announcement.
EA Sports’ NCAA Football video game was always one of the more popular sports video games on the store shelves, but because of legal issues, the company stopped making the game for nearly a decade. The last version released was NCAA Football 14, which hit stores in 2013.
Right now, there is no date set on when the game will actually return, though it’s unlikely to happen in 2021. The company said conversations started over a year ago and development is just getting underway.
Regardless, fans are still excited about the news. Here’s what they had to say:
Still one of the greatest plays in NCAA Football history 😂
