In addition to the excitement of seeing these stars play the new game, EA Sports will provide a walkthrough of various modes. The Arizona State vs. Florida State stream, featuring Chad Walker and Ben Haumiller, will showcase dynasty mode.

Dynasty mode has three pillars: Build Your Coach, Build Your Program, and Deliver the World of College Football. Players can progress their coach by playing games and achieving various goals.

LeBron James will be using Ohio State in his stream. Despite never attending college, he has always supported the Buckeyes, Ohio’s most successful college football team. Given Akron's recent poor performance, it's no surprise James chose Ohio State over the Zips.

This streaming event is happening as the game is about to be released. The 11-year wait for a new EA Sports college football game ends on July 19.

Shilo Sanders cracks LeBron James joke about NFL draft

In an interview with Vegas Sports Today, Shilo Sanders was asked about his brother Shedeur being projected in the top 10 of next year's NFL Draft by some publications.

When asked about Las Vegas and the Raiders, Shilo confidently responded and joked about his father's influence in the draft process.

"You know I'm going to the league, also, right? A cool little package deal [with Shedeur] would be cool," Shilo said with a smile. "If my dad can LeBron James that thang, that'd be great. I'm just playing," he added, laughing.


Shilo was referencing how LeBron James’ son, Bronny, was picked by the Lakers at No. 55 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. Although Bronny wasn't expected to go in the first round, he was still chosen by his father's team.

The Colorado safety is confident he'll make it to the NFL on his own merits, but he couldn't resist making a timely joke about Bronny's career beginning in the NBA Summer League.
