Can’t recruit transfer portal players?
I can’t find ANYONE with this same problem. I’m in offseason recruiting week 2 out of 4. There aren’t any transfer portal players showing up at ALL. The screen just says “unavailable. Transfer portal will be available during offseason recruiting” even though I AM in offseason recruiting. I’m losing players to the portal and actually can’t get any players to replace them because it’s not letting me even see the transfer portal. I have no idea how to fix this and have never seen this bug before or anyone report it before.58Views0likes2CommentsFire the team that makes the game
Just fire the crew responsible for developing this game or just hand the right over to 2k . No real features what so ever n for the love of god never throw a low point pass in the redzone because its awful how bad u guys made that animation not to mention how good the cpu Ai players are but go to road to glory n see how bad your teammates are all u guys really did is improve throwing motions other than that the wr/cb battle is still 10/10 the cb getting a pick cause my wr doesnt wanna just even tho i press that button 5 times lazy team just copy n pastes the game from the previous year with better graphics but same bad animations how you guys are still able to be the creators of football games is wild can tell none of u even know football based on how bad your animations are as a playtester for this company i can say not a thing u tell them is actually implemented in the games our opinions dont matter to them they are still gonna let there team mess up n create crap when ultimate team came out thats when they stopped caring about the other game modes on the game you brought back the highschool experience but really shouldnt have even thought about putting it back on it’s completely worthless10Views0likes0CommentsLatest update feedback
I would like to start off by saying I’m appreciative of the work that went into this update. It’s great not having all those weird looking default guys running around the field. I’m really liking it. MOVING FORWARD If you guys could just fix Nickel double mug and nerf the onside kicks the game would be near perfect in my opinion. There are users that are stealing 2-3 possessions by onside kicking the ball straight ahead and the man on the line of scrimmage will not bend for the ball. The men on the second row take too much time to move forward. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO DISCOURAGE ONSIDE KICKS!38Views0likes1CommentA beginner's guide to Road to CFP
What's up newbies? I wanted to take a minute to give you some tips on the road to college football playoff mode in College Football 26 Many of you just got the game for Christmas and are finding it frustrating. Trust me when I say you are not alone. After playing both College Football 25 and 26 exclusively in this mode, I figured a couple of tips to help you get started to reach your goal, which is winning in national championship in this mode. 1.Road to CFP is hard. Sorry to disappoint you, but it's just a fact. Winning a Natty is much harder this year than it was last year. 2. Before you even get started playing this mode, practice. Practice with the team you want to use in a national championship game. Some guys like to use multiple teams throughout the season and then run to their favorite tier one team once they reach the playoffs. Others want to take one team and grind through an entire season. Either way, it's fine. Just make sure you practice with a team you want to win a natty with on heisman level. 3. When practicing, take some time to understand your team. your players, their strengths and their witnesses. This will save you much frustration as you grind through this mode. 4. Once you're confident, you're ready to play a few games. Just know this, the first four games in your season are a set up. Those four games matchmaking seems to give you someone that you should win against, even if you have a lower tier team play again say Alabama, Georgia or Ohio State. In my opinion, this is EA way of one, allowing guys to win the minimum number of games to either stay in that division or get promoted or 2 keep you at an even when lost record. Just know...the storm is coming. 5. Once you get past games 4, all hell breaks loose. This is when the toughest match making seems to kicks in and you'd up against more quality players. Games 4,5,6 and seven are hard. I would suggest once you're comfortable use any tier for games 1 through 4 and then for games 4,5,6,7, and 8, be more selective and pick your tiers sleection. Example select tier 2 3,4 or tier 5 when seaching for a opponent. It will take you some time to find games in those teirs, but be patient. You'll have much more fun this way versus banging your head against Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, Florida, or Indiana during these games. I've had season that a play Miami 4 times in the first 6 games. 6. Once you have grinded games 3 - 7 and you are in a comfortable position to make the CFP continue to be very selective on the teams you play. The reason I say this is because if you are lucky enough to make the CFP don't expect to see any mid to lower rank teams. In the three games of the playoffs you will probably only play against Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama , Texas , and you will probably have to beat any of those teams multiple times. I have literally had playoffs in which I had to play ohio state three games in a row. Last year, we saw so many different teams in the playoffs, now we only see maybe 4-6 different teams. 7. Once you make it to the CFP , just know the games in the college football playoffs are slower, meaning that your players actually run slower than they normally would doing the regular season. Certain routes, you may have to wait a tick longer for them to develop. This is why practice is important. 8. If at any time, you find yourself down ten or fourteen points in the game, be patient, don't back out and quit the game. EA thinks they are slick but if someone jumps mo out to a quick lead the logic shifts and the losing team becomes almost unstoppable. You can ask around but unless a miracle happens if someone is up 10-0 or 14-0, I'd bet my lifesaving that within 5 plays the losing team will score. 9. The 4th quarter is pure madness. Again EA thinks they are smart, but in the fourth quarter all kinds of craziness will happen(especially in a tight game). I've seen 28-35 points scored in the 4th quarter alone in the CFP. EA is creating manufactured drama to try to make the game feel more exciting but we all see it and know its trash. If WE were creating the excitement vs the logic of the game dictating it, this would be different. 10. Lastly, when you need to, just put the controller down walk away. Like I said, winning a Natty is crazy hard now. Even the top player have said so. This game/mode is rage inducing and well...sucks compared to what we had in 25. Sorry but just being honest. Try to have fun if you decide to play. I hope the above helps someone. Oh and cover 4 shaded down helps against crossing routes ✌️556Views2likes4CommentsCollege 27
With College 26 being a complete mess, my expectations for College 27 is very low. My advice is DO NOT pre order/purchase the EA Sports College 27. The company wants all the money with very little effort. We saw the down grade from '25 to '26. How is this right? We should have been able to hear the laughs from EA. '27 will be worse. The lagging, the massive bugs that were never fixed throughout the year. I couldn't play offline and still gather rivalry trophies. That should have been a given. Also, why couldn't I play any desired game in the week of my dynasty mode to upset any team. I can in NCAA 14. Maybe, just maybe EA Orlando, formerly known as EA Tiburon should go back and get Director Jeffrey Luhr and producer Jason French. Let me say it like this, Because we would have a great complete and desirable College football experience and that's what EA doesn't want the consumers to have. they would have to stay consistent. Why work that hard if mediocracy is banking them. I am out, no more money for a game that just isn't good. A disappointment is coming in '27. STAY FAR AWAY!38Views1like0CommentsKick Meter Issues
When I play dynasty mode, the kick meter does not work properly. It has a delay when pressing and holding, which almost always leads to a missed FG, kick out of bounds, or crazy punt. I checked the kick settings. Changed from tap and hold to tap and tap. Nope. I thought it was my controller, nope. I restarted the game, Xbox, everything. I reinstalled the game. Nope. It is very annoying.69Views2likes2Comments14 is better honestly.
Graphically it may be more pleasing but the gameplay is bad. Very bad. Main reason? AI Adaptive AI and Rubber-Banding During close games, the CPU seems to receive unfair stat boosts, such as increased accuracy, faster reactions, and perfect coverage reads. This creates a “scripted” feel, where victories and defeats feel predetermined rather than earned through skill. The adaptive system affects Dynasty mode competitiveness, making long-term planning and recruiting less meaningful. This reduces the satisfaction of building teams strategically over multiple seasons. The CPU often performs perfectly in the fourth quarter regardless of prior game play. Offensive and defensive AI sometimes makes impossible reads, which reduces realism and diminishes the strategic aspect of the game. I play on Heisman. Adjusting Heisman difficulty to rely on realistic CPU strategy rather than behind-the-scenes boosts would be some constructive criticism. I honestly dont know if I will be willing to check for improvements next year.30Views1like0CommentsGot banned for cheating apparently after I spent 100s of dollars
Spent hundreds of dollars on ultimate team and I get banned for cheating apparently know reasoning from ea just a ban I go to support they haven’t reap and a week it says a warning penalty but I can’t access no online modes and help is not responding any suggestions38Views0likes4CommentsWhat If Dynasty Allowed Offseason Archetype Drift? (Balanced Idea)
Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about a way to add long-term development depth to Dynasty without breaking balance. Concept: Archetype Drift (Offseason Only) Allow players to change a player’s archetype one rung per offseason (e.g., Backfield Creator → Dual Threat) to reflect coaching development over time. Safeguards: Only one rung per offseason. Costs 50% of offseason XP. Attribute caps do NOT change. Cannot gain more ability slots than currently have. Cannot exceed current highest ability tier. This would allow identity evolution without raising ceilings or creating ability inflation. It uses existing XP and archetype systems and would make long-term development feel more realistic. Curious if others would want something like this in Dynasty.17Views0likes0CommentsThe CPU play calling logic is exhausting!!!
Every year we are told teams will have true to life play calling and every year it progressively gets worse. Online leagues are not fun because of how pedestrian the CPU play calling logic is. CFB 25 gameplay was almost perfect and it feels like 26 was made worse intentionally. Please rebound for 27.9Views0likes0CommentsMissing ultimate alumni content
I'm missing 1 objective on the ultimate alumni week 1 objectives. I believe it's the pass for 300 yards objective. Its not showing up on screen and I have 6 of 8 objectives complete but a can't get 8 of 8 because it's no there. Is there anyone else who is having this problem43Views0likes1CommentRoster update not in Dynasty Mode
I know this has been going on since the roster updates and it’s absolutely unacceptable that there is no solution. The updated rosters should be able to be used in Dynasty. I know there are a lot of people that share my frustration when trying to optimize our usage of this product. Please provide a solution to this problem so everyone can enjoy the product, not just the people that buy all of the micro transactions.23Views0likes0Comments
