'College Football 25' Release Date Listing Might Cause Serious Confusion

People might run into a little confusion when they pre-order "College Football 25."

The first college football video game by EA Sports in 11 years will be released July 19th, but there is the opportunity to get early access for a little extra money.

That's where my confusion started, and it's still not crystal clear what's going on.

"College Football 25" release date….not listed as reported on the PlayStation store.

After a *VERY* stressful and expensive Tuesday afternoon, I decided to treat myself and uplift my spirits with a couple beers and by pre-ordering "College Football 25."

There's nothing that can get your day turned around quicker than locking down the most-hyped football game in memory. There was just one thing I noticed that hit me like a bag of bricks.

The advertised early release date is July 16th. That's not the date I was given for the release after my payment went through.

I was given a release date of July 15th - a full day earlier than what has been publicly advertised. Turns out the listing on the PlayStation store openly states the same.

You can see the listing below.

So, when does early access for the game actually happen? Is it July 15th or the 16th? Depending on where you look, either answer is correct.

This isn't the kind of confusion fans need or want. We need concrete plans that are locked in and ready to roll. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and right now, it seems like we're flying blind. What if I make plans on the 15th and the game does come out then? What if I clear my schedule on the 15th and the 16th turns out to be correct? It's absolute chaos.

I've reached out to EA Sports for further clarification. Selfishly, I hope the 15th is accurate. No matter what, I can't wait. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
