Here's the Best Way to Look at College Football 25 Player Ratings on PC

With a massive College Football Playoff game between Notre Dame and Penn State on tap tonight, the itch to look at how these teams look in College Football 25 might cross your mind. Up until recently, there was not a great way to look at the ratings in CFB 25 unless you were on your console. This has changed with the TeamCrafters database.

Since EA only publishes the top 100 players in their roster updates, we have not had an “official” way to get a great look at the rosters when we’re away from our consoles. This is annoying because you might be planning a dynasty or trying to figure out what players might be fun to build around, but that’s much easier to do if you can be at your PC or even scope things out on your phone. OS user jtrosclair put this database together a couple months back, and it’s now in a much better place as of late.

Here is jtrosclair explaining the process of getting all this info from CFB 25:

In case you were wondering, no, this was not just scraping an API from EA. Their API only has the top 100 players and nothing more, trust me, I tried.

Backstory: the ratings/bios were grabbed via an automated PS5 script and Chiaki using OCR to gather the ratings, As you will see it will be confused in some characters like the names and bio fields, but the ratings and abilities look to be in really good shape. This process took 3 weeks of leaving my PS5 on overnight, and various fine-tuning to the script as this is my first attempt with machine vision and data collection.

To update the database, jtrosclair still has to re-do the process, so one updating missing is Travis Hunter being a 99 overall. But otherwise, most of the ratings should be accurate. You can click on teams, individual players, and you can even compare players as well:

It should not be overlooked how helpful it is to be able to look at all the ratings for a player (including the abilities) in one spot:

While it’s early, I’m hopeful something like this will be in place early on when CFB 26 drops, but if not, this is still a dope tool to have for the rest of our time with ’25.
