Every Michigan State player to reportedly be in this year's college football video game
The entire Michigan State football roster is expected to be in this year's EA Sports College Football 26 video game.
Justin Thind of 247Sports reported on Thursday that he has been told that every scholarship player on the Spartans' roster will opt to be in this year's game. That was not the case last year, with a number of players electing to not be included in the video game.
Here's what Thind wrote on this subject:
"A source tells Spartan Tailgate that no Michigan State football scholarship players are expected to opt out of their inclusion in the game. Last year, over a dozen MSU players were missing from the game upon its release, with some starters - like Cal Haladay - never making it in, not even after the midseason updates. This time, the game is set to launch with the full Spartan roster barring an unforeseen surprise."
Thind additionally noted that the increased payout to players from $500 to $1,500 and improved opt-in process played a role in the increased numbers of "real" players in the game.
EA Sports will officially release this year's version of its college football video game on July 10th (or on July 7th for deluxe edition preorders).
