Clemson OL Walker Parks Doesn't Appreciate EA Sports Making Him Look Super Fat In College Football 25 Game
Fans finally got their first look at the upcoming "College Football 25" — the reboot of EA Sports’ beloved video game series which last released in 2013 — on Friday. But Clemson offensive lineman Walker Parks wasn't as excited as everyone else was.
That's because EA Sports did him dirty! The video game version of Parks looks, well …really fat.
Taking to social media, Parks called out the game developer: "Come on man I ain't that big."
Parks enters 2024 having played 2,107 career snaps over 39 games (28 starts). He's a two-time All-ACC Academic Team selection.
The fifth-year senior stands at 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, but the video game version made him look like he's pushing 410 instead.
"Let me talk to the graphic guy," Parks wrote on his Instagram story with a laughing emoji.
"College Football 25" will be the first version of the game to be released in the NIL era. Unable to use their actual names, past iterations featured loose representations of the athletes. But now, for the first time ever, the players can be compensated for their likeness in the game — if they opted in, that is.
The highly-anticipated game will officially be released on July 19, but those purchasing the deluxe edition or bundling it with "Madden NFL 25" will be able to play three days early.
Still a couple of months away from release, there's still time for the developer to make small tweaks — like maybe knocking a few pounds off Walker Parks.
