EA Sports College Football Is Reportedly Headlined by Dynasty Mode

The widely loved Dynasty Mode is reportedly being built as the “flagship game mode” for the new EA Sports College Football.

“[Dyansty Mode] is where a LOT of the energy is being spent on development right now,” according to Extra Points’ Matt Brown, a reliable reporter on EA Sports College Football. EA vice president and GM Daryl Holt previously said Dynasty Mode is something the development team is “passionately focused on.”

An NCAA Football staple, Dynasty Mode allows players to control both the on- and off-field actions associated with running a college football program, from playing games to recruiting and developing athletes.

The news comes on the heels of an ESPN report that EA Sports College Football will pay athletes to use their likenesses. It will mark the first time real players are officially represented in a college sports game, thanks to the 2021 Supreme Court ruling that permits collegiate athletes to profit off of their name, image, and likeness (NIL). The issue of NIL was, in part, responsible for the discontinuation of the series following the release of NCAA Football 14 in 2013.

EA Sports College Football is scheduled to return in Summer 2024, 11 years after the franchise’s previous entry. Holt has said it will be “distinctly, uniquely college football,” not just “a clone of Madden or something else.”
