College Ultimate Team (CUT) was first introduced in NCAA Football 14 as Ultimate Team and functions much like Madden Ultimate Team (MUT), as EA Sports revealed that current and past college football players will be available in CUT.

Some of them are currently in the NFL, like former UGA Tight End Brock Bowers, who was drafted by the Las Vegas Raiders this year. This group also includes current NFL stars like Patrick Mahomes, Davante Adams, Christian McCaffrey, and Joe Burrow.

More interestingly, the blog post mentions two programs coming to CUT: ICYMI and Legends; the former program will feature players who contributed to iconic moments in past seasons and helped their team excel on the iron, while the latter focuses on legendary All-Americans and see how they fare against the current stars of collegiate football.

This announcement is part of EA Sports’ weeklong set of reveals for College Football 25 ahead of its release next week. Yesterday, the developer provided a new look at gameplay featuring two Play Now matches between college football content creator James “BordeauxYT” Bordeaux and cover athlete Donovan Edwards. Throughout the week, the developer will reveal the launch roster and the new additions to fan-favorite game mode Road to Glory on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

College Football 25 will be released for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on July 16 for those who pre-order the Deluxe Edition or MVP Bundle, or July 19 for everyone else.
