Does it feel real yet?
Look I know I’m late to this party but it will make sense, I think. NCAA 25 has been the biggest let down since I realized college football was the biggest scam on TV. As someone who has kept their Xbox 360 running for almost 2 decades solely so he could play NCAA14, I was ecstatic when EA announced NCAA 25. Unfortunately, it’s been all downhill since. Firstly, you can absolutely get bent if you think I’m going to buy a $600 console so I can play your $70 game. You don’t want to release on PC in the current gaming environment then so be it. Spin it however you want, I don’t care it’s your loss. However, to not release the game on older generation consoles is an absolute disgrace. I hope this new generation of games fails for that reason alone. Secondly, I’m not sure EA has a single person coding this game that has ever watched a single down of a football game. There is no comparison to the real world game and what happens when playing this game. I am 100% heisman difficulty no matter the game mode but in Road to Glory it is infuriating to watch my lineman stand up, turn around, and flip the bird to my QB or RB when the ball is snapped (that’s when the play starts, so we don’t confuse the coders and programmers). Should they get beat more often than normal, of course it’s the hardest difficulty. For a computer controlled player to not perform an assignment all together is ridiculous. They just stand up and stand still while the now super human defenders DC Flash passed them allowing an average of just shy of 2 seconds for the WRs/TEs to run routes and guess who will be open. Then I’ve got God’s gift to defenses in Superman like DBs. Full sprint, stop on a dime like they know the route, high jump 360 somersault interceptions while my WR never turns around. If I'm lucky sometimes I can just bang the ball off my RBs facemask as he stares at me like he lost his parents in the grocery store. Im not asking to win games by 100 points. I simply want to be able to know that when I play the game it will feel like a true game as much as possible. No one who has ever suited up for a football game has gone out and just stood there. If they miss a block fine go find someone else. If the QB is running for his life then you should probably move the F around and come back to him as a potential receiver. You can keep your NCAA 26 because I know you won’t fix the game play aspects and you already released the game to only new generation consoles. As ridiculous as it sounds I am sad to say goodbye to a game that I’ve played since the release of Bill Walsh football in the 90s. I hope better days are ahead for those who refuse to accept the idea that this game takes a certain individual to enjoy it and is just not that good. There are changes that are positive for sure. Enjoyed the new recruiting process but it didn’t take long to learn the pattern and then that positive disappears. While there are other positives, they just don’t hold up against nor negate the overwhelming and egregious amount of negatives. If you made it this far I appreciate it. I just needed to say my piece so that I don’t break my setup here. Maybe I’m the only one who feels this way or who has as much of a problem with it. I just think people should know that this game isn’t good. It’s just the first time some people have actually seen it so they have no baseline. Others have waited years to play it again and can’t let go of the nostalgia of it. All of this is my own opinions of course.Playing Levels
Am a new gamer. I find the Basic level to be too easy and the second level to be too difficult (stopping the passing game). Past versions allowed me to play a portion of the game at one level and the other portion at a different level. Does College Football 25 allow that? Has anyone else noticed the profound jump from the first two levels?Missing coins college kickoff and rush event. CFB 26
A played over 30 games in the college boosted, kickoff event and college rush event. I have not received any coins from this event at all any other event or head to head games and play. I get coins right away for the victories. I need to know what is going on With this and if this fix or somebody can help me out please I’m getting a character packs, but not the coins. I can’t build a team up or get what I need because EA is giving me zero coins and just to brush off.
WHY ARE THE DEFAULT PLAYBOOK SETTINGS SO STUPID???????? Who programs this stuff?
WHY DOES CHEW CLOCK STAY ON FOR THE NEXT POSSESSION? WHAT IF THE GAME SITUATION HAS CHANGE? IM TIRED OF CHEWING MYSELF OUT OF A FINAL DRIVE. ARE THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THIS GAME THAT DUMB???? WHY DOES THE SHELL COVERAGE STAY THE SAME FOR THE ENTIRE FORMATION FOR EVERY PLAY? IN WHAT WORLD WOULD I WANT TO RUN EVERY PLAY FROM THE SAME DEFENSIVE SHELL? AGAIN. I ASK. ARE THE PEOPLE MAKING THIS GAME REALLLLLLLY THAT DUMB????? I hate it herePhysic ignored
I doubt anyone from EA actually reads these comments as we as consumers don't actually see changes. That being said, have any of you game designers actually watch a game of football? The physic that is being ignore in tackling alone is mind boggling. Tacklers hitting ball carries from the side and knocking the ball carrier backwards? LBs that are at the LOS faking a blitz but can still cover the seam route on the hash 20 yds. down field? LB that intercept Post patterns that are 15 yards past their current position? ILB tackling jet sweeps for a negative gain when the speed stats are 20 points different? Players phasing through other players to make plays? Seriously get your **bleep** together!!!Playing Style stats are blatantly wrong
In dynasty mode the stats associated with the play style dealbreakers are wrong, usually by a lot. My TE is leading the country in catches with 26 after 3 games. The dealbreaker claims to be receptions and shows I have 43??? No idea where that number came from but my grade is a D+. Meanwhile Ball State has an A+ grade, I checked their stats and they have 3 TEs with a combined 23 catches and the play style screen shows they have 148 receptions. This is just one example, the average yards per game gained and allowed are all incorrect as well. If a feature is this bad you should have the option to turn it off
Online Dynasty - Removed User Still Showing up as Active?
In my online dynasty, we had a user (playing as Kentucky) who was somehow removed from the league without him actually leaving. He’s no longer on our members list but it still shows Kentucky as a user team in schedules and for the custom coach. We’re now having issues with it cause people in the SEC can’t play their games against Kentucky since it’s treating it like a user vs user game. Has anyone experienced this or know what to do to remove the active status at this point? Thanks!How do I get a refund for CFB26?
I bought this game when it came out. I was not happy with a lot about the game. I gave it some time and there has been a title update already. I’m still not happy with the game. I am especially upset about the blocking logic and the computer ‘cheating.’ Some examples of my frustration are… Zone plays to the right and no one blocks the edge rusher. Non-read runs where my backside tackle leaves the DE alone to go get the alley defender. It’s even worse because I’m using the wide formations. Run plays where a shaded guard bypasses the man shading him and the 2nd level defender to go get a safety 10 (even 20) yards off the ball. It even shows that as his assignment in the pre-play graphic. Glance RPOs, stick RPOs, and other give/pass RPO plays where o-linemen do not block down defensive linemen to get 2nd or 3rd level defenders instead. Iso run plays…my sniffer on the play side often runs through a backside gap when his assignment is the play side linebacker. Power and counter plays…the first puller wraps up to the second level and the second puller tries to get the first threat. Enough about crappy blocking logic. I have my speed threshold set so that faster players are significantly faster than slower players. My 96 speed HB gets walked down by backside linebackers with speed ratings in the 80s. I have so many complaints, but this is long enough. I want my money back for this game.Road to glory is HORRIBLE
(Road to glory mode) is terrible . As users we can’t get full control of the playbook/ play call during offense , no cuts scenes to feel more intune with the user created player. Too much simulated gameplay . No high school start to fulfill the real life college football player journey smh . We need a PATCH to correct some of these issue . This game is still 2 years behind next gen standards. Developers sucks .just overall LAZINESS
