Fans spent a long, long time waiting for the return of college football video games, and while EA Sports College Football 25 instantly proved a smash success, it was still missing a number of features that had appeared over a decade earlier in NCAA Football 14. As the devs begin to lift the veil on College Football 26, they're already teasing some big additions that players have been clamoring for.

Alongside today's official reveal trailer, EA also published a blog post running down some of the new features coming to this year's game. There's a lot here, including over 300 real-world coaches, some 2,800 new plays, and enhanced home field advantage effects.
