EA Sports is still planning on releasing their newest college football game next July and despite most fans expecting a delay as is standard in the video game industry, all signs point to this game being released on time. EA Sports will be waiting for your money with open arms, and they’ll get mine and many others.
As time passes more and more leaks are being revealed and the brilliant mind of Matt Brown over at Extra Points has provided some interesting tidbits recently in regard to how specific EA Sports wants to get with their in-game atmosphere.
According to documents I have inspected:
* EA Sports College Football is still slated for July 23 release
* EA is trying to get more school-specific audio assets (chants, cheers etc)
* School payouts range from a little over 100K to ~10Kand more:https://t.co/4ZYUnUJYGd

As stated in the Twitter thread above, EA Sports is looking for guidance from colleges on what cheers and songs are played during the game so that they can provide the most accurate atmosphere possible. This means when you play with Ohio State at home, you will likely hear the classic O-H-I-O chant.
The most interesting thing about this thread and article by Matt Brown is about the integration of spirit stickers and how EA Sports has requested more information on how they are obtained. This likely means that if you play with the Buckeyes everyone will have a blank helmet to start the season and as the season goes on different players will have different amounts of Buckeye leaves, which sounds silly, but makes me very excited.
As we get more leaks on what EA Sports has in mind for the return of its college football game, we’ll have it, especially when it comes to Ohio State.
