More than 10,000 athletes have accepted an offer from EA Sports to have their likeness featured in its upcoming college football video game, the developer announced Monday.
EA Sports began reaching out to college football players in February to pay them to be featured in the game that’s scheduled to launch this summer.
EA Sports said players who opt in to the game will receive a minimum of $600 and a copy of EA Sports College Football 25. There will also be opportunities for them to earn money by promoting the game.
Players who opt out will be left off the game entirely and gamers will be blocked from manually adding, or creating, them, EA sports said without specifying how it plans to do that.
