The Ohio State football team is prominently featured in the new college football game. Jeremiah Smith, Caleb Downs, and Ryan Day are all on the cover of College Football 26. Smith is one of two players on the cover of the regular game, while all three appear in the deluxe version.
It's the first time in the history of the video game that real-life coaches will appear in the game. For years, it has been fake coaches with fake names. Now, the coaches are getting compensated to actually be in the game, meaning you can fire and hire real-life coaches.
Day is one of the coaches in the game, and college football fans got their first look at what he looks like in College Football 26. In the first revelation, his likeness drew some mixed reviews from fans. Personally, I think EA Sports could have done better.
Ohio State football coach Ryan Day's look in College Football 26 draws mixed reviews from fans
Take a look at the screenshot from the trailer that was released by EA Sports promoting the new game and decide for yourself how much the video game version of Day looks like the real one.
The eyebrow area is what makes fans think that the developers of the game could have done better. He kind of looks like an angry lumberjack in that screenshot, which is obviously not at all how he looks in real life. Still, that's what EA Sports decided to do with his look.
College Football 26 comes out in July, so college football fans will have to wait a couple more months to play the newest version of the game. It looks like they have brought back the high school feature of Road To Glory, which is something I'm looking forward to very much.
It will also be interesting to see how many Ohio State Buckeyes appear in the game. Last year, there were some noticeable absences from players, including J.T. Tuimoloau. Fans will certainly be interested to see how many of their favorite players decide to appear in the new video game.
