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.12Views0likes0CommentsDynasty Recruiting Position battle is broken and wont commit to either team
My dynasty glitches on recruiting position battle! I have went 5 weeks with 0 progression and my recruits are just stuck in a position battle with nothing changing. It happens to all the players in a battle they dont commit to either team and it messing with my recruiting class. 5 week stale mate with visits and actions doing nothing. I added a video so u can see me advance the guys in the position battle dont even show up on the recruit update and they are still stuck with no progression. Please fix and give me my players2Views0likes0CommentsI have been kicked out of back to back championship games in UT squads.
Honestly this needs to be fixed. Me and my teamates get kicked out of 2/3 games in squads and nothing ever happens. I never get compensation and ea help says the same bs on repeat. a little compensation would go a long way in believing this company would ever change.13Views0likes0CommentsDoes 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.22Views0likes0CommentsDynasty Manually Upgrading players glitch
There is a currently a bug where if you manually upgrade your players in the offseason in Dynasty it freezes after every upgrade and makes you go back to the roster and click the player again and do this over and over. It makes it take so long to upgrade players after they get their training every season. Hopefully they fix it soon.22Views0likes0CommentsCFB 26 Suggestion/Wish List
Just want to start this off with some gratitude that the game is back and here to stay. I think EA needs to realize that there are a lot of us who really enjoy and care more about the customization more than anything else. So that’s what I’m mainly talking about here. As far as player customization, EA should fix a few things: 1.) Please bring back the scrunch socks…why they took them out in the first place is beyond me. 2.) We should be able to change the color of our undershirts to match what sleeves we want to wear. I noticed this is a common complaint and it’s a valid one. 3.) Please add black socks to all schools. I’m tired of not being able to truly have a black out uniform because a school is stuck with the white socks option. Ex: Hawaii. 4.) Please fix the back plate exposed option. What I mean by this is the front of the jersey. The jersey number is not visible and the straps of the shoulder pads are showing. Nobody wears their jersey like that. If anything, the jersey is rolled up a bit so the stomach is showing but you can see clearly see their jersey number. 5.) I’m not sure if this is a glitch in the game but there are some cleats that have a different color than the one that is selected. For example, I want to have all black cleats and I wear the Nike Untouchables and they give a team color and black look. Some teams allow for them to be all black but most teams I have that problem with. So that needs to be fixed. 6.) Please add Create-A-Prospect for Dynasty recruiting. Miss being able to create dope prospects or myself and friends in the dynasty and being able to recruit them. 7.) Please add different leg sleeve options. They could have multiple options for leg sleeves such as the one leg sleeve for either leg and even add the half sleeve option where players have their tights half way up so they have a bit of leg skin showing. 8.) Turtleneck option would be awesome. Also, the “sheisty” look they had back in NCAA 07 would be sick. 9.) High School in RTG…Just bring back the NCAA 14 concept. That’s literally all we asked for. Playing moments in only a couple games? No thanks. Just bring back the option of importing whatever high school we want to play for and let us have the option of how many games we want to play and allow us to customize the schedule and schools we play. NCAA 14 had it perfect. Please. Those are my main issues about the game. I’m not complaining much about gameplay like everyone else. I keep my peace and mainly play RTG & Dynasty so customization is really what I’m looking for and care about. Most of these complaints could be solved with the updates they drop throughout the year and I don’t see it being that difficult for them to do. It’s really what we’ve been asking for.33Views0likes0CommentsTriple Option Offenses 26
I coach football in real life. In the 25 version of the game the triple option was bad but somewhat tolerable if you narrowed your play selection. HOLY CRAP IS IT BAD IN 26!!! rocket toss is a TOO (triple option offense) big play. The ball should be pitched later than in the game and the HB should be running full speed. With a proper block at split end the a back should have no problem hitting the edge untouched. Instead when I run it I have an OLB over the top outside of me containing and a FREAKING DT running down the LOS preventing a cutback. Absolute dog crap. Inside veer triple option is just a hair to fast on the initial read. What happens is I make my read but the QB is already locked in to give instead of the pull I wanna make. If you don’t press and hold the pull button immediately after the play then it will be an automatic give every single time. That read needs to be slowed down just a little bit. read key- the read key is totally random on his responsibility. Realistically teams tend to protect against the triple option by containing the quarterback rather than tackling the fullback. Typically your full back is going to have more than 15 carries a game an average about 3 yards per carry. The triple option plays are going to be your boom or bust plays. The read keys use no logic they simply just randomly pick bite or contain every play. These are just my 3 biggest complaints, but I could list pages of crap that they don’t get right. There’s even plays where it’s a full back dive to the left and the fullback gets the ball in the B gap on the right side. EA did such a sloppy job with the triple option playbooks. They thought adding a bunch of pass plays would make everybody happy but the reality that EA does not understand is the average player is not going to play triple option. The people who are going to run triple option on this game are high school coaches possibly players and division 2/3 coaches and players. The only people who are going to run these playbook on this game (except for the maybe 2%) are people who are familiar with how it is supposed to run, play, calling strategies, who to double team, when to replace the red key on quarterback pulls or bounce it outside, and how to Game manage this offense. I understand the EA wants to make the game inclusive to all people of different skill levels but frankly, the triple option offense is not for an idiot or a 10-year-old boy/girl. This offense is very sophisticated and requires advanced knowledge to run successfully. EA seriously needs to get on top of this. I know that only a small percentage of people are going to run this offense but that doesn’t mean EA should skimp on all of their playbook and tell us that the playbook got so much better when all they did was add stupid, empty, pistol packages and one or two shotgun formations to every playbook. EA should be ashamed of what they’ve done with these playbooks.46Views0likes0CommentsDynasty Bug
Within my Dynasty on College Football 26 with the Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors I’ve played three games nearing the end of the First Quarter and Third Quarter where the game; freezes, glitches, freeze, and shuts off back to the Main Menu of my XBOX Series X. Please provide a patch to fix this unfortunate bug!13Views0likes0CommentsUTEP update
UTEP doesn’t come out from the big entrance tunnel where the locker rooms are at. They come out from the stands through a tunnel called ‘The Mine Shaft’. With smoke and the head coach carrying a Pick. Please it would be amazing to see this entrance with an update in the future. And also the mascot Paydirt Pete as well. And throw in their military camo uniforms please.19Views0likes0Commentsanother 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.75Views1like0Comments
