I think I have watched the trailer for the new college football team about a dozen times now. I am so very, very excited for this to come out in the world. I had my doubts. You can go back and read about said doubts. I had heard rumors for years and years, to no avail. And there was hiccup after hiccup when the game was officially announced. I didn't know if the players would give approval. When they did I thought the universities might have some issues. Then I thought EA was going to try and pull something.

But it is really real. It is coming. They have a trailer. The cover athletes have been announced, the cover has come out, the players have talked about it and we have live footage of the actual game play. And the trailer makes this game look as amazing as I have always remembered it being.

This looks like an actual football game. It does not have the video game stuff that I have grown accustomed to. I'm sure that once I play it some stuff will come up, but I don't even care at this point. They have the team entrances down pat. They have the rivalry trophies. They have the players' names on the back of their jerseys. They have the uniforms looking as clean as ever. Chris Fowler's voice is doing the voiceover for the trailer. They play some Guns N Roses to get you all pumped up. Hell, even when they show Wyoming kicking the ball off, I got major goosebumps. I did go on the Playstation website to do a possible pre order, but they only do it digitally. I'm so hype for this game, I want the physical copy. I want to see the players on the cover. I want to hold the actual game in my hands. I want the disc that lets you play the game. I want to see the inside of the game. I want the paper that comes with the physical copy. I am even contemplating buying a new Michigan themed controller. It has the design of the helmet on the controller. I know that is opulent, but at this point, all of that goes out the window when I am thinking about playing this video game.

July 19th cannot come quick enough. I am not going to wait in a line or anything, that is not me, but I plan on playing this game on that date. I will go to multiple stores if I have to. I will find this game. I am not a video game guy, but college football is another animal. This is the only video game I have ever truly cared about in my life. It is the only one that I have ever been good at in my life. I cannot wait to create a player. I'm going to build a dynasty out of Michigan in franchise mode. I will recruit and use NIL with the best of them. I will challenge my son to games. My wife used to play a bunch, and she has mentioned playing around with the game here and there.

This trailer is the best trailer to come out in a long, long time. It has me super excited, as well as millions of other people. So, we just need the 19th of July to come. Until then, I will be watching this trailer a million more times.
