ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit will be one of several of the network's personalities to appear in EA Sports' College Football 25 video game this summer, and now he's sharing some notable updates about what fans can expect from the game when it hits shelves.

Herbstreit shared more information about the broadcasting situation in the new game, noting that there could be different broadcast teams in the game, depending on what teams are being used and where games are played.

"In the past, the same two or three people called every game," Herbstreit said on The Pat McAfee Show. "Now, I think there's gonna be different broadcast booths for different types of games that you play in."

Herbstreit also hinted at a potential release date for College Football 25, noting that he believes the game should be available to the public at some point in July.

EA last issued its popular college football video game more than a decade ago, back in 2013, after which the company announced that it was discontinuing the game.

That decision followed a court ruling that forced EA Sports to pay compensation to athletes who had previously been included in the product but were not paid.

Then, after the creation of the new NIL rules two years ago, EA went public by announcing that the game would return at some point in the future.

That point is getting nearer every day, as college football fans await its summer release.
