More details. Not expected to come out this year. it’s in early development. And of course no actual player likeness will be used.

Re: EA Sports College Football to return
They probably SHOULD do this so they don't lose another gigantic class action lawsuit lol. But to answer your question if they made the QB for Clemson a tall white guy with long hair, that's gonna get them sued. You can't make a character look exactly like Trevor Lawrence and just name them something else to get around paying royalties. The character models can't have any similarity to the players or else they'll lose another lawsuit.
OR.... they could, ya know, pay the athletes their fair share to use the real likenesses?

I believe the way around "likeness" is the fantastic online community, right? No less than 20 people are going to have the entire 2022-2025 class of players ready for download on day 1.

And that's what's going to get them shut down again, even if they didn't produce it themselves. I imagine they will at least early on really restrict roster customization (or sharing) which is going to drive people away.
