EA Sports’ latest College Football title is the first such game in the series in 11 years. Their last title was NCAA Football 14, released back in 2013. The new title has turned out to be quite successful, breaking several sales records and getting a positive reception from players and critics alike. Now, the game just received a major title update on October 24, 2024, that fixes countless things and also adds a lot of new stuff.

For instance, players in Front End Rosters have had their Ability Loadouts refreshed. The devs have added a note explaining how these changes were based on current player performance during the ongoing season. However, the biggest additions are the 718 new NIL Players, updated uniform pieces for six teams, new uniform pieces for 40 teams, and the Competition Nissan Stadium.
