Reasonable Dynasty Complaints
While i'm grateful that we have college football in the form of a video game, I feel like there is a lot of room for improvement. From what I've seen online, the devs seem to listen to players complaints more than other big games. Hopefully you guys see this. These are some of my issues I've discovered with CFB so far. All of these are going to be focused on Dynasty mode since thats my most played game mode. First off is the unrealistic sim stats. It seems like every year my QB is at the bottom in terms of passing yards because every other QB in game has 4,000-5,000 yard seasons. Last year, only 6 quarterbacks in FBS passed for over 4,000 yards. The previous years are about the same. I know its a small detail but I feel like it kills immersion. Passing attempts are also extremely high per QB. Overall, there are a ton of examples in the season stats that are simply unrealistic. The same can be said for game stats. For example, most of the games I play always have an extremely skewed Time of Possession. In real life, most games finish near a 50/50 TOP split. The good news is that these issues seem to be an issue that can be fixed fairly easily by messing with their sim engine. Secondly is more of a request for future installments but during the offseason, players should be able to apply to job openings. My job offers in CFB 26 so far have been pretty terrible. Being able to apply to more jobs creates variety and honestly, the basic four offers players get to choose from feels a bit dull. The name generator in the recruitment tab needs some more variety. It feels like there’s so much repetition after a handful of seasons. I've seen about 7 different Manziel's and Rooks' in just 4 seasons so far. I also think having a limitation on recruiting for OC/DC's would also be awesome. I shouldn't be able to recruit defensive players if I'm an OC and vice-versa. Having more limitations like this in game would drive me to actually seek out a HC position more.another year, another half baked roll out - Teambuilder
Please for the love of football, fix the team builder experience! How can you add in the ability for us to create custom rosters, pipelines etc... for team builder... and then utterly fail to imagine that we might.... I don't know.... maybe want to use the team builder team and its accompanying rosters and other details.... in DYNASTY? Seriously? For the casual reader, these out of the box elements do not import with the created team. Instead it adopts the stats of the school you take over. Ex. You want to bring a new school into the Mountain West and so you choose to bump Utah State (a school nobody will miss). Your carefully created Teambuilder team has many of you famous alum, and stats from your created DII school. The Teambuilder import brings in the names but none of the stats, skills, traits you spent time adjusting to mimic your imagined roster. Also your pipelines don't come either. Last year they (EA) pooped the bed by not having Teambuilder ready for launch and then charging extra in the form of an online pass just to use a basic feature of the game... this year... they find another creative way to pop you in the backside by failing to de-bug the importing into Dynasty mode. How much do you want to bet that they are considering a micro-transaction fix to get your team correctly imported for you to play? Frustrating. EA... here is the situation .... in sports terminology... so maybe you'll get it... after a decade +1 year, you are down on the count 0-2. You might not get a 3rd pitch if you don't fix this problem asap. Sincerely, One of the many.

Dynasty Sack/TFL bug
There is a major issue in the current game, that i have noticed since launch. And have tried to tell as many streamers or devs as possible. But it has never been fixed. When playing games in dynasty, every time you get a sack on the QB, you are awarded a sack and a TFL. And in all cpu v cpu games simmed week to week, the sacks in those games do NOT count as a TFL. So you end up having players winning awards all the time, based on the fact they are now earning a TFL for each sack. Making the recruiting process so much easier. If you have a good pass rush, you end up getting so many players interested because your TFL numbers skyrocket. And the CPU can not keep up with you, as they are only gaining the sack and not the bonus TFL. I hope this is fixed in CFB26 but i doubt it as they have not done anything about it yet. Please if someone knows how to get this info to the CFB26 team.NCAA 26 beta
Users need to be able to see all recruiting stats instead of a select few. Would like to have a better juke combination selection or bring back 2014 double move. There is no way to find out how to view a stat for a long snapper. Off-season practice mode would be nice and players is not in full pads, but just practice jerseys and shorts like the old NCAA and Madden. Archetypes are not fully explained. Still not able to use or catch with a receiver once the ball is tipped. Not honoring your season goals should have more severe repercussions possible fired. Recruiting should add another recruiting tool, besides direct messages, family, and friends in the house. Add an additional section labeled NIL money that could persuade a recruit to commit to your school. Total the recruiting points at a maximum of 100 points when all recruiter development traits have been maximize. program builder in the coaching abilities, should allow coaches to spend points to increase teams, facilities, locker rooms, and travel arrangements to boost recruiting.I won’t buy 26 unless
We all know this game is flawed from the coaching carousel to the massive amount of patches to the fact that instead of making a game full of immersion for dynasty players off-line that is, I don’t know about online. I don’t play online, but the Sim logic is off. The coaching carousel is broken. Everybody complained about the recruiting being being off. I think it’s worse now than what it was before when the top programs year after year are just ridiculously signing 35 players at a time what’s the point they can’t use them no school ever over recruits can’t change coaching pipelines like you used to they for some reason stop that TeamBuilder is broken. You can’t play off-line team builder penalties are hit and miss. We all know the top 25 logic is busted. We all know the CFP logic is busted when you’ve got six schools from one conference making the college football playoff. This is ridiculous so you have to bend the rules to get there to wear theirs and even amount of different conferences in it 2014 as flood as it was the coaching carousel was better I like the way that you can go in you don’t have to search for your stats or your records. They’re all out there out front. The layout for finding school records is there and you don’t have to go searching for it or trying to find out What some of that stuff when you’re reading it in my school it makes absolutely no sense when the other, the other game showed you your your school and showed you what conference you were in and if you had a conference championship, it put the years on it that said you won The trophy room the ESPN Classics. There was just parts of this game that was of 2014 that was so much better than what they got now it feels to me like they did barely enough to get it out the door and then oops start making patches. Give us the ability to edit coaches You can in 2014. You can edit every coach deleting and starting them at level one I miss Lee Corso telling me who he thinks is going to win the game bring that back I for one don’t care about NIL players. They’re only there for four years and they’re gone and then you’ve got a game you can do absolutely nothing with if you’re playing dynasty so until they decide to fix a lot of of the issues that were on this game, I will not be buying the next one unless they fix it.Free Practice not working in one Dynasty save – server error on PS5
In one of my Dynasty saves in College Football 25 on PS5, Free Practice will not load. Every time I try to access it, I get this message: “Our servers cannot process your request at this time. Please try again later.” Then I’m returned to the main menu. I tested an older Dynasty save I hadn’t played in a while, and Free Practice worked fine there. When I returned to my main Dynasty, the issue was still happening — even after advancing the week. Things I tried: Restarted PS5 and game Verified EA account is linked Loaded older Dynasty (Free Practice worked fine) Advanced week in current Dynasty (didn’t help) Saved under a new file name (didn’t help) This seems to be a bug tied to that specific save file. I’ve attached a screenshot of the error screen.LOFF DYNASTIES!!

I just bought the game on sale a few weeks ago so that I could create my team and play with them on Dynasty mode only to find out you can only do it online and not offline. I thought the reason was because the game pulls the data from Teambuilder online, but that is not the case. After I already started my Dynasty online with my team, I made some uniform changes in Teambuilder and published it. However, none of the changes I made affected my current online Dynasty. So what is the purpose of forcing us to only use our created team in online mode? It makes no sense at all.Coach Profile Run/Pass
Please add the Run/Pass coach philosophy to coach profile for ‘26. Every other NCAA game had this. We can’t have our 97 overall running back getting 12 carries a game and the only way to run more is using an option playbook. Playbooks don’t determine how often a run or pass play is called. We need more control over this when simming games. If I want my team to run the ball 75% of the time I should be able to set up my coach to do that.Improvements/Ideas for 2026......
Fix sim engine so stats are realistic. Specifically rushing stats and odd schools winning Natty. Fix CPU recruiting logic. Every team over recruits certain positions and end up with like 8-9 QBs and 5 are sophomores. They should spread out recruits and balance rosters. Make roster cuts before portal recruiting. Reevaluate schools pipelines. many are incorrect. Lock in top 5 pipelines but let the other 5 be static. Let user build and maintain new pipelines. Use coaching ability etc. Put formation subs back "in the game." Put recruiting map back "in the game." We grew partial to it over the years. Fix coaching carousel!!!! It's truly worthless right now. Was one of the highlights in past versions. Make a "National News" page. Make a place that's easy to see/find top 25, awards leaders, coaches on the hot seat, stats leaders, etc. Make non NIL players more customizable. Let us change skin tone, face etc. Bring back create recruit. Reevaluate features from past versions and bring many back. Make game more customizable. Sliders for making recruiting easier/harder etc. There are lot's of good things to leave alone. I personally like that it's hard to win big and hard to recruit to non powerhouse school. I enjoy the player progression and development traits system. I enjoy the coaching abilities. I think gameplay is very good and easily tweaked with sliders
