After an 11-year hiatus, EA Sports is back with College Football 25 for this season.

For the first time since 2013, there’s a college football video game for the masses to enjoy, and fans have noticed many things about the new game.

EA Sports College Football 25 granted fans of the one-time NCAA Football franchise a way to enjoy simulated college football in every fashion imaginable.

One of the best things about the game is the many entrances for the teams.

The popular game did not feature Virginia Tech’s “Enter Sandman,” but it did feature something that sounded exactly like it, which is described as “generic rock music.”

There have been issues with licensing and rights, which is not shocking given Metallica’s history. Back in 2000, the famous rock band was the plaintiff in a groundbreaking lawsuit against the file-sharing site Napster, where they became the first artist to file a suit for unlawful use of digital audio and copyright infringement.

EA Sports did not want any of those problems, so they did their due diligence in creating the game and made sure to pay for the rights to other things in the game, like the use of authentic uniforms, as well as athletes’ names, images, and likenesses.

However, as you see above in the video for Virginia Tech, there is clearly no agreement in place with Metallica over the right to use “Enter Sandman” for their legendary entrance.

Shedeur Sanders Disapproves of EA Sports College Football 25’s Ratings

In the new release of EA Sports College Football 25, ratings are shown for all players, and Shedeur Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes does not agree with one aspect of it.

He and Carson Beck of the Georgia Bulldogs were awarded a 93 overall rating.

He stated, “I mean, I don’t believe in — it’s a tie, I don’t believe in ties when it comes to quarterback. When it comes to quarterback ratings, I don’t believe in ties. It’s either a winner or loser, like let’s just get to the point,” per ON3.

Despite his disagreement, he still played the game and defeated teammate Travis Hunter recently by 40.

VIDEO: Cameras Caught The Incredibly Sad Reactions Of Duke Star Kyle Filipowski & His Girlfriend While Leaving The NBA Draft After Going Undrafted

While Wednesday night went well for thirty new draft picks, some were left disappointed. One such player is Duke’s, Kyle Filipowski, who had high hopes of finding his new home in the NBA. Instead, he went back empty-handed.

The 7-foot offensive center was present in the Barclays Center green room with his nearby ones waiting for his name to be called out. However, in the pool of talented players, Filipowski couldn’t make the spot. This does not mean he has missed the opportunity this year. The 20-year-old might not have made it into the first round, but the second one is still left.

One of the saddest moments from the event shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) was Filipowski hugging his girlfriend. The young athlete looked disheartened by the situation while she tried to console him.

The Blue Devils’ standout put up 16.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in the 2023-2024 season. Filipowski did display his shooting skills, but that wasn’t enough for the Duke man to engage in a contract with any franchise.

The short video soon circulated on the internet, reaching the NBA community, who didn’t hold back from reacting to his mourning moment.
