In February 2021, EA announced that a new game is finally in development, tentatively titled ''EA Sports College Football''. They have secured the rights to use most of the NCAA FBS schools (most notably missing Notre Dame and albeit without the license to the NCAA itself). Helping the series return to production was a change in NCAA policy that took effect a few months later; while college players still cannot be paid directly by the schools, they are now eligible to accept "Name, Image, and Likeness" deals, which may allow the players to be compensated for being featured in the game. Per a June 2022 announcement by EA, the new game is scheduled for a 2024 release and will feature an "Ultimate Team" mode just like its ''Madden'' and ''VideoGame/FIFASoccer'' sister series.

* CharacterCustomization: You can create your own custom players or add your favorite players that were left out of the game for one reason or another while editing their name, appearance, and ratings. Notably, you can't just create a superstar and then add him to your team -- he goes into the recruiting pool and you have to recruit him like you would any other AI-generated player. So there's a real chance that you can create a seven-foot tall cyborg death machine quarterback, only to see him sign with your most hated rival.

* AcceptableBreakFromReality: As noted in the ArtisticLicenseSports entry below, the game's roster limits - while inaccurate - serve to prevent the player from turning the game into a total joke. Most reasonably skilled players will eventually reach a point where they're routinely bringing in the best recruiting classes in the country, and a 70-man limit is basically the only way to prevent them from signing all of the best players every year.

* RandomlyGeneratedLoot: The recruiting classes are made up of randomly generated players to recruit to your team. Everything from their names to their height/weight to their attributes are randomly created. They qualify as "loot" in the sense that they are valuable resources to add to your team.
