EA Sports ‘College Football 25’ fans rejoice in game’s long-awaited return: ‘Highlight of my year’
NY Post
It’s been on the sidelines far too long.
EA Sports “College Football 25,” out on Friday, is being dubbed the most highly anticipated sports video game of all time.
During the 2000s, it was ranked among the most popular games ever sold. But when new versions were discontinued in 2013 amid a nasty gridlock of legal battles, fans were devastated.
Now, more than a decade later, hardcore users are rejoicing in its return.
“When the clock struck midnight on the new year, all I could think about was that it was finally coming back,” diehard fan Richard Clemens, 25, of Norwalk, Connecticut, told The Post.
He added that next to getting engaged, playing the collegiate gridiron franchise again — one that ran for 21 years before being halted — is “the highlight of my year.”
Cynthia Marie Franco was finally able to catch her breath as she frantically ran into her private spa studio in the Hollywood Hills, after finishing a lengthy facial at a top actor’s home, which backed up her tight schedule.
When it comes to investing, Jill Silverstein’s got it in the bag.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
