As we approach three weeks until the long-awaited EA Sports College Football 25 video game is released for the world to play, many former Alabama standouts were never featured in the gaming franchise due to a hiatus that lasted over a decade.
EA Sports NCAA Football 14 was the last major college football video game to come out, as the franchise dated back every year since 1993. Alabama has been featured on the game’s cover twice over the years, with Shaun Alexander headlining NCAA Football 2001 and Mark Ingram II gracing the cover of NCAA Football 12.
Since the video game’s end (before the 2014-15 season), Alabama has won three national championships and gained three more Heisman Trophy winners in addition to Alexander and Ingram. However, as previously stated, fans never had the opportunity to use these players in a college football video game and had to wait for them to reach the league to play EA Sports Madden NFL 15-24.
We’ve created a traditional 85-man roster of former Alabama players who weren’t featured in the NCAA Football video game franchise due to the 10-year hiatus. The selection process only revolved around their performances while donning the crimson and white, not in the NFL, even if they transferred. The Alabama/outgoing transfer players who will be featured in NCAA 25 won’t be on this roster.
Attached to each player in parentheses are the years they would’ve been featured in the game (only when they were a starter/had a significant amount of snaps) if it existed. That said, although the game comes out in the summer of 2024, it is called “25” due to the season ending that year—the same thing happened for NCAA 14, which was released in July 2013. In other words, NCAA 14 revolved around the 2013-14 season and this roster will combine players starting from the 2014-15 season all the way up until this past one.
THE DEPTH CHART IS ORDERED ALPHABETICALLY.
