EA College Football 27 officially releases world wide tomorrow. But we have an idea of what Texas Longhorns fans can expect when they digitally strap on the Burnt Orange and play as the Horns in the game.
The official Texas Longhorns social media accounts have posted video showing many of the special touches EA created for the Horns when you play with UT.
The game features many traditions associated with Texas football in an around Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, from the tunnel to Bevo to the cannon.
There is a lot more “helmet off” interaction with players, so you can see their faces more. One thing EA got right is Texas will wear their home jerseys at LSU in November. The Tigers are the only big time program that wears white at home. Kinda like the Dallas Cowboys.
Other Texas gameplay action includes:
Obviously, there’s a heavy dose of Arch Manning.In the first version of the game, each player got a standard NIL payment of about $600 each. But Manning held out for more from the video game maker.
EA relented, thanks in large part to Manning’s popularity. Manning was paid more than any player for the use of his likeness. Arch and his uncle Eli did a promotion video announcing his inclusion into the game.
Fast forward two years and Manning is a big part of this year’s edition of the game presentation of the Longhorns.
