CPU TEAMS SHOULD MAKE THEIR OWN POSITION CHANGES
CPU Teams Should Make Their Own Position Changes With the advancements in AI, there’s no reason why CPU-controlled teams shouldn’t be making their own position changes in College Football 25. In real life, teams regularly move players to different positions based on their skill sets, yet in the game, the CPU never does this. This leads to poor roster management, where teams have glaring weaknesses at certain positions while being overloaded at others—something that could be easily fixed with logical position changes. For example, if a CPU team has a slow cornerback, they should recognize that he might be a better fit at safety. If they lack depth at center but have multiple guards with good awareness and strength, the AI should move one of them. This would create more balanced and competitive teams instead of forcing them to rely on bad depth chart decisions. It’s frustrating to see EA tout AI improvements while missing such a basic aspect of roster management. With modern technology, the game should be able to make smart, realistic position changes for CPU teams. It would add more depth, immersion, and realism to Dynasty Mode. Does anyone else find this an issue? What do you think EA could do to improve this?Kent State Blackout Uniforms | 4 Helmets
Silent Uniform Updates Have Occurred All Season XBOX Series X | Gamertag: prettyrickey2 | Kent State Blackout Uniforms | 4 Helmets (Photos Attached): This thread is for those of us who appreciate authenticity and attention to detail for the “Kent State Golden Flashes”! First, “ALL” Kent State Uniforms are in the game, except the New Black Uniforms and White Helmets {Black Decals Ohio State Outline with Jersey Number (on Right), Flash Bolt (on Left) and Black Single Stripe down the Center Shell}, debuted 9/28/24. Additionally, the Kent State Golden Flashes are missing their UA Logo on the back/front of the White Socks, as well as the absence of the Navy Blue Socks and Black Socks — “ALL” all with the UA Logo PLACED ON THE BACK. I am genuinely asking for EA Creators to update the official Alternate Kent State Black Uniforms with White Helmets and Black Decals.

College Football 26 Recruiting/Offseason Wish List
I made a Dynasty Wish List a few months back. But now I want to dive deeper in the recruiting and offseason aspects of Dynasty Mode. Recruiting First I love the variety of recruits that come through dynasties. 4000 plus a year is pretty awesome. That being said, I think there is room for improvement to this part of the game. Auto Recruiting is pretty terrible I don't use it too often, but recently, I have done some carousel dynasties where I start as a coordinator somewhere and let the HC handle recruiting. The AI logic for the user team is no where close to accurately filling in team needs. This needs to be tuned similar to how madden tuned its draft logic a few years back. Not just user auto recruiting logic, but the CPU team recruiting logic needs to be overhauled as well. Why does a team have 12 QBs on their roster? This is one example, but there are times where teams have tons (10+) good (80+) players at 1 position group. Most of those guys will never play for that team, but they can play almost anywhere else in the country. There should be logic to either prevent teams from over recruiting positions where only 1 or 2 guys play, or added logic for the guys bogged in the depth chart to transfer to another school. Dynamic deal breakers Piggy backing off of my last point (this was also mentioned in my dynasty mode wish list) a player's deal breaker should change throughout their career. Some of the top recruits and players (85+ or 4/5 Star) should have more than 1 deal breaker. This would add some depth and story telling throughout the dynasty. As guys improve, their deal breakers should change with them. Add Loyalty to Coach or to Program as a Deal breaker/player trait (more on this later.) Prospect Designs There is a ton of variety, I definitely, don't think I have seen the same player design repeated. But I have NEVER seen a player with long hair or dreads out the back of their helmets. Recruiting Hours I really don't have many specific things for this. The mix between being active and set it and forget it is nice, but I feel like it is lacking. I appreciate not having to make a phone call for every player each week, but there are still some things that I think should be a little more specific. The recruiting actions themselves are pretty bland and there UI does not really give a good tell as to how certain actions affect a prospects interest. I think there should be some freedom as to which pitches we target when hard selling/soft selling or swaying. Maybe each pitch should be 10-15 hours instead of 20-40 to hard sell or what not. Abilities There needs to be a revamp on which abilities prospects have. Most linemen have the same abilities or none at all, but there isn't a lot of variety. This goes for other positions as well. Visits Also mentioned this in my dynasty wish list, but visits could be overhauled as well. I actually like the visit system from older NCAA games than this one. Old games, you could chose a couple of activities for your recruit to do instead of just one. Need to be able to schedule complimentary visits within the same position groups. Offseason The Offseason is fine, but could also use some more improvements. Transfers We should be able to see the players who are potential transfer risks for all schools without needing a coaching perk. That is typically public knowledge throughout the season. We should be able to encourage transfers during the players leaving stage, not just at the end of the offseason. Too many players simply disappear from the game where the encourage transfer is now. If we have a young emerging player we want to start the following year, we should be able to encourage the capped out upperclassman to transfer at the beginning of the offseason. When encouraging transfers, we should be able to see their player cards. There is no option to see everything. Player caps and development trait are probably huge factors for players when encouraging transfers. Players should follow coaches in the carousel if there is a dealbreaker or real attachment to the coach that moves. This goes with the player loyalty trait I mentioned before. Offseason Development The better your coaching staff the more your team should develop. I'm sure this is how it is now, but there is no measurable way to see the development. Older games would show +# to each attribute. That should be added. Not just the + or Green arrow Players do gain/lose weight during the offseason. Allow us to have a training system that targets something for each position. Maybe we want our WR room to focus on Med Route Running, they should see a boot in that attribute. Maybe we want our DEs/Edge rushers to focus on Finesse, they should see a boost in speed and maybe they cut a few pounds. The redshirt freshmen should gain weight and see more improvement than the 5th string junior DT going into his senior year. Spring Game Set this up like a madden preseason game where each quarter different parts of the depth chart play. Even better, give us the option to customize how the spring game is played. 1 O vs 1 D, 1 O vs 2, 2 O vs 1 D, 3's vs 3s. Overall this is just a simple list, I'm sure I missed somethings, but feel free to let me know what you guys think. What else should be added/changed. What am I completely missing?
Could not enter dynasty mode
When playing in offline dynasty games, routinely when I finish the game and exit to the dynasty home page I get an error that says “could not enter dynasty mode - an error was found trying to enter dynasty mode” and the game automatically kicks me to main screen. I load back in and it’s probably 50-50 if the game saves or if nothing saves and I have to replay game. Extremely annoying I auto aim a lot of games because I play them 2-3 times and this happens. Can EA please fix this !

Recruiting bug needs fixed IMMEDIATELY
Lost a 5 star gem WR with elite development because I accidentally untargeted him while looking at other recruits on the prospect list. I targeted him again, it took away the offer I gave him, and since he previously committed, it doesn’t give me the option to offer the scholarship again. We have advanced the season in hopes that he would show up on my roster, but to no avail. National signing day, everybody else was signed, and he was only still committed, still with no ‘offer’, and even though obviously I offered him early in the recruiting stage. I essentially wasted a ton of recruiting hours and out an elite 5* gem WR on my team. Unreal that’s a thing that can happen. Incredibly frustrating that you can very easily ‘untarget’ a committed recruit accidentally in the prospect list and are not able to do anything about it- you’re essentially hosed. Please get this fixed.
Online Dynasty Player vs Player Game Crash and Records 2-0 Final Score
Product: EA SPORTS™ College Football 25 Platform:Xbox Series X Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X What is your gamertag/PSN ID? Date/time issue occurred 7/29/2024 - Roughly 3:30pm Pacific What type of issue do you have? Crash/Freeze Which mode has this happened in? Dynasty Summarize your bug I was playing a human vs human game in an Online Dynasty when the game just dumped me straight to the main menu absent of any input from me. From opponent's perspective the game said I conceded. Team Schedule is now showing the game completed with our stats and score per game quarter intact, but it shows final score 2-0 when in reality we were 35-28 in the 4th qtr. There doesn't seem to be any option to replay the game or change the result. Incidentally caused my coach to get fired in an online dynasty that we're trying to take seriously. 6/6 record... How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Test online Dynasty player vs player games for aberrant disconnects and menu drops. Review online Dynasty game results for 2-0 final game scores and compare against game stats and per quarter scoring breakdown. What happens when the bug occurs? Online Dynasty player vs player match ends abruptly with one player sent back to CFB 25 main menu and the other player seeing a message to the effect that their opponent has conceded. Dynasty then records incorrect game result with a weird 2 to 0 score. The particular scheduled game in question can not be replayed and the incorrect game result can not be modified. What do you expect to see? Online Dynasty player vs player games should resolve without EA server disconnects or software crashes. In the event of either a software crash or a connectivity issue that ends match gameplay prematurely the match in question should be replayable. Crashes and disconnects should not default to unalterable game results.

I'm not the only one who has run into this particular issue. https://www.reddit.com/r/NCAAFBseries/comments/1eekpga/dynasty_user_game_crashed_to_main_menu/Suggestion
I like the game but have a few suggestions for updates or next years game first add the spring drills from the PlayStation 2 games it helps smaller schools develop their players. 2 bring back crate a prospect for dynasty modes it's in road to glory which I don't like or play. 3 in tesmbuilder have the 1aa schools listed instead of having to create them . Other suggestions include the ability to upgrade facilities and coaches encouraging players by telling what skills to improve in the off-season
