COLUMBIA, Mo. — The game is coming.
EA Sports’ eagerly anticipated college football video game will be available to the public next week, bringing an NIL-updated version of the game into the world roughly a decade after its last edition.
Missouri, naturally, is in the game. Those who download it will be able to play with a current roster at Memorial Stadium, turning the Tigers into a college football dynasty — if they’re good at working the system, that is.
To generate excitement — and, it must be noted, disagreement — in the run-up to the game’s release, EA Sports has teased some schools’ and players’ ratings, a system of evaluating and quantifying skills and traits to determine player or team quality.
