Players take control of a high school athlete working to attract the attention of top college programs. But it's not just about scoring touchdowns—choices in academics,social events,and off-field interactions also shape your legacy.
Before the season starts,your coach introduces you to your recruitment board. You must select a Top 10 schools list,which can shift dynamically based on your performance. You can commit or decommit at any time,but your final decision happens at the end of the season,complete with a school hat-pick ceremony.
How Schools Evaluate You
Your recruitment depends on several evolving metrics:
Tape Score: Earned by completing gameplay "moments" during high school games. Higher scores unlock better offers.
Projected Role: Starter,backup,or bench player—each school's depth chart affects this.
Coach Prestige: Graded from F to A+,impacting development and team success.
NIL Potential: Reflects Name,Image,and Likeness deals available at the school.
As gaming celebrates the old while charging into the new,two standout experiences are catching the attention of fans this year. Blizzard's World of Warcraft Classic celebrates its 20th Anniversary by bringing back iconic quests from its early days,such as "Speak with Ziz Fizziks",while EA Sports revamps Road to Glory mode in College Football 26,offering players a more immersive journey from high school stardom to college recruitment.
Though these games live in different genres,they share a deep love for storytelling,progression,and player choice. Here's a breakdown of both experiences and why they matter to their respective communities in 2025.
