This is really great! But we'll still be able to edit rosters and equipment right?

I think it's safe to assume that equipment editing will be in.

Absolutely no idea if we'll be able to edit rosters though, or share them for that matter.

EDIT: I'm trying to log in to read the rest of the newsletter, so I don't know if it mentions this yet, but Matt said on Twitter that the deadline to opt-in and be included is April 30th. If they opt-in after that, no guarantee they make it in, but the devs will do their best.

He also just confirmed that real coaches will NOT be in the first game, but that doesn't mean they'll never be in.

According to the Athletic article, players that don't opt-in will be replaced by generic players similar to the Barry Bonds/Jon Dowd situtation.

The service academy players *ARE* expected to be in the game, they're working on a legal way since they can't be paid NIL money.

Players will *NOT* have face scans, due to the insane amount of players they want in. So they'll be digital recreations based on photos.

"Sources familiar with the proposed contract tell Extra Points that the base contract will pay athletes $600 for usage of their digital name, image and likeness in the video game, along with a copy of EA Sports College Football 25 on a system of their choosing. This contract offer will be sent to all 85 scholarship football players on all 134 FBS programs for next season."

85 man rosters!! Limber up ladies and gentlemen!
