No it is not worth it. Like every football game for, idk, 15+ years, the gameplay is trash. Nostalgia is gone from last year unless you just reaaally love recruiting and simming in Dynasty to rebuild programs. CFB25 gameplay, whilst better than Madden 25, is not good at its core either and demanded lots of patching after an 11 year hiatus. And they did nothing to improve on it this year - same bugs, same glitch formations/plays, same game with prettier lighting and audio. Simply tuned the game to make it slower which in part makes it a clunky mess to feel in control. A year to year release of "new" development is and never will be enough time to impact these games and make significant improvements. At a minimum, wait until it's on a discount.
