By Ricky Frech

EA Sports College Football 25 is finally making its big comeback after over a decade of waiting. While developer Electronic Arts hasn't been actively working on the game all that time, the team has had a long time for new ideas to percolate that will help bring the old franchise into the modern era. One of the most notable new additions is the new Abilities system. EA Sports College Football 25 includes 80 new abilities, split between mental and physical. Players can have up to eight of them equipped at one time and they can be upgraded up to four times, giving the College Football 25 landscape plenty of variety. Below, we've collected every Ability that's been announced thus far and will update this list as more are revealed.
