More news on EA Sports College Football 26 is starting to roll out as we approach the summer. This time, Senior Writer for The Athletic, Chris Vannini reports that college football players will be compensated “more than double” for their likeness in the game.
CFB 26 Players Compensation
One of the main reasons the CFB series was discontinued for so long was that players were not paid for their likenesses in the game. However, after 14 long years, EA struck a deal to include players NIL’s in the upcoming football title, and the series could resume.
On Tuesday, Chris Vannini broke the news that if players choose to opt into CFB 26 their compensation will be increased from the initial $600 to $1,500. This increase could be due to the first game’s success or the fact that some groups opposed EA’s compensation stating players deserved more.
It’s great that college athletes are being paid more for their likeness in the game. One user on X commented that “I know it doesn’t seem much, but $1,500 would basically get me through a semester.”
More news on CFB 26
In an interview with The Athletic, Daryl Holt talked about the upcoming CFB game and teased some big things coming.
“We’ve got a lot of things still to come,” Holt said. “We release a game, we understand what’s important to players and what they play and what they would like changed, improved, or added. This is a game for fans built by college fans ourselves, and we want it to be that type of relationship to understand what’s important to them.”
With such a great return, fans can expect much more from College Football 26, such as a deeper Road to Glory, new gameplay mechanics, and more. In addition, Holt hinted at the possibility of the game coming to other platforms “We’ll look at other opportunities, other platforms.”
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson discussed the possibility of the Madden NFL series coming to Nintendo Switch 2, so EA is very much looking into releasing its football games on more platforms.
