After a decade of fans begging for EASports College Football, it will return this summer thanks to Name, Image & Likeness.

Video games produce some of the best childhood memories and one of the most talked about games by far is EASports College Football. Over 10 years ago you could take any major university and create your dynasty and take them to the mountaintop of College Football.

You can watch Chris detail his time working on the game below.
