It’s a bummer to see College Football 25 stumble out of the gate with server issues, especially after such a long wait since NCAA Football 14. EA must step up fast to smooth things out if they want to keep the fan base happy and engaged.

Oh man, it's a bummer that College Football 25's early access is stymied by server issues right out of the gate. Given the anticipation since NCAA Football 14, you'd think EA would have prepped better for this level of player demand.

Looks like EA underestimated how much everyone missed college football on their consoles. Here's hoping they can get the servers sorted before the official launch, 'cause nobody wants another SimCity repeat.
