EA Sports released a five minute "deep dive" for the upcoming EA Sports College Football 25 video game and they did Tennessee Vols quarterback Nico Iamaleava dirty. 

The deep dive, which is narrated by ESPN College GameDay host Kirk Herbstreit, shows various features (which are awesome by the way) that will be included in the new game when it's released later this summer. 

Unfortunately for Iamaleava, the deep dive shows him in some less-than-ideal situations. 

At the two minute mark of the video, we see Iamaleava throw an incomplete pass due to the intense crowd noise at Georgia's Sanford Stadium. The next clip shows Georgia's Carson Beck completing a pass while dealing with crowd noise at Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium. The clip is used to illustrate the difference in how a young inexperienced quarterback (Nico in this case) will handle loud crowd noise as opposed to a veteran quarterback (Beck in this case). 

Later in the video, around the three minute mark, Iamaleava is shown throwing an interception at Sanford Stadium. 

EA Sports is obviously making the point that an inexperienced quarterback is more likely to struggle in road environments than an experienced quarterback. 

But come on, EA Sports, did you have to use Nico in two examples of a play going wrong? 

They could've gone with a more inexperienced quarterback instead. Maybe someone like Texas quarterback Arch Manning…oh wait, he didn't opt-in to the game. Maybe that wasn't a bad idea after all. At least he wasn't done dirty by EA Sports this week.
