More broadcasters will be in the booth when EA Sports College Football 25 takes place this summer.
ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit is returning to the college football video game franchise for its first release since 2013. He will be paired with ESPN colleague Chris Fowler to appear at the game. In most sports video games, there is only one broadcast team calling the game. But Herbstreit acknowledged that other teams will be featured when the new college football video game is released.
“Chris and I won't be playing every game,” Herbstreit told USA TODAY Sports. “We will have different broadcast partners for each game. Depending on the size of the game, we will decide who will be covering the game.”
Herbstreit confirmed that various announcers would appear in the video game, as there had been speculation that various other announcers would appear in the game. Herbstreit mentioned that in a previous interview, but would not confirm whether it was true.
Darryl Holt, vice president and chief operating officer of Electronic Arts, said that while details about the game, including the announcer, cannot be revealed yet, “we should have a full look at the game in the coming weeks.'' Ta. ”
“The people we announced are the ones to watch,” Holt said. “This is the return of college football. It's not just a one-year return. So there's an element that establishes the foundation and it's the first release of what we wanted to get right and focus on. So, from there. Let’s start.”
“That doesn't mean there aren't open opportunities for us to continue thinking about the sport, the game and how we represent.”
Holt said that when the series was announced, “I got a lot of phone calls asking, 'Can I participate in the game? Can I do the voice? Can I be a commentator?' There was,” he added.
“That was a big surprise,” he said.
ESPN's Reece Davies, Desmond Howard, Jesse Palmer and Kevin Connors previously confirmed they would play a role in the game, but declined to say what it would be. Ta. Former ESPN college football analyst David Pollack said he will also be at the game. There is also speculation that Fox Sports will also be attending the game, with the college football broadcast team of Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt potentially participating.
Having different announcers calling the actions in sports video games is something you don't often see these days. NBA 2K has a group of announcers who appear at games in various combinations, but Madden and her MLB The Show has one commentary team.
In the last edition of the game, NCAA Football 14, ESPN was the only network with a pregame show, halftime show, and in-game updates in Dynasty mode. Previous versions of the game also included “College Game Day”.
A release date for EA Sports College Football 25 has not yet been announced.
