LSU's "Neck" anthem will be included in the game, according to The Athletic's Chris Vannini and Extra Points' Matt Brown, who were both invited to play the game early alongside other reporters and content creators.
The chant has become one of college football's most iconic sounds, as opposing teams and fans alike can expect the not-safe-for-work saying each time they enter Death Valley. The video game will obviously refrain from the vulgar language, however.
Vannini also reported the studio recorded 41 real game crowds for the game over the past two years, noting he saw the sheet music for "Neck." Brown also confirmed that sentiment.
EA Sports released official gameplay for the first time on Friday, showcasing a plethora of new animations and features for the title that's set to come out on July 19.
