Player position changes screws up skill caps
I just noticed this but DO NOT CHANGE ANY PLAYERS POSITION AFTER THE SEASON. I had transferred a 5 star elite LEDG to REDG and they went from zero skill caps to so many skill caps like I basically recruited a 3 star normal rate player. Thanks a lot EA. This needs to be fixed ASAPwith fixing all previous position transfers. I don’t know how you would do it but give us a break. The game is not enjoyable at all in its current state. Ball snap issue even though there is a work around in most cases with OL options, can’t change existing player numbers, can’t do in season position changes, post season position changes screw up the player progression for worse, dealbreaker for playing style is way off, playing time deal breaker is way too strict for recruiting new players, can’t do free practice in dynasty with multiple users so can’t try out playbooks and make favorite plays, I don’t care about this as much but my son is young and plays on freshman to learn and he said he misses that the edge rushers were able to not go off sides in 2025 but now they do, I don’t know about that one being a big problem for most players but he wants me to bring it up because that’s a feature he wants turned on. Just seems like EA didn’t pay at all for beta testing and letting pre orders do all the heavy lifting. I will have to go back to 2025 because if you can’t change player positions without this huge penalty it’s not worth it. I screwed up about 25-30 players skill caps after the season as I switched a ton of new recruits and existing players and the whole first year was a waste.Jhanslip15 days agoNew Traveler1.6KViews12likes10CommentsPlaying Style Grades Incorrect
The playing style grades are completely broken. The stats are wrong, the grades and rankings are incorrect. This is causing players to transfer and missing out on top recruitis. Playing style rankings and the stats of other teams must be fixed. I shouldn't have to pass for 700 yards to have a decent grade.Reeves_iXi16 days agoRising Rookie267Views12likes9CommentsDynasty Trophy Room Not Working on PS5
Do trophies only appear in the trophy room if head coach in dynasty? I earned several trophies in my first season as offensive coordinator, including Broyles Award, and none are appearing in my trophy room. I was signed in and there were no issues otherwise. Trophy room is just empty, despite the alerts and banners to indicate all the new trophies unlocked. This was one of the best updates to the game this year, so I’m disappointed it appears to not work.eba8283c20cbf06215 days agoSeasoned Novice787Views7likes11CommentsCustom Playbooks Not Working
When creating a custom playbook, the "Coach Suggestions" section in-game always present the same pool of plays, regardless of your star ratings/selections in the "My Gameplan" section in the custom playbook menu. Obviously, spending lots of time on creating a custom playbook with unique ratings for the coach suggestions, and then for it not to work is quite frustrating. Let me know if I can provide any more details! I've tried raising and lowering the adjustments, even going as far as having several plays at "100" or "5 stars" and the same 15 plays appear for each situation (1st down, 2 & long, etc.). Seems like others are having this issue too. I’ll continue testing and trying things out, but this definitely seems like a bug/issue.greenfcr16 days agoSeasoned Traveler478Views7likes8CommentsTeam Builder MySchool Grades for Facilities and Stadium Atmosphere are BROKEN
I am not sure if this is limited to just this grade template, but I believe the MySchool grades for the "Untapped Potential" template are fundamentally broken for online dynasties. I created a Team Builder school using the Untapped Potential template. According to the website, this is supposed to grant a Stadium Atmosphere grade of A, and an Athletic Facility grade of A+. Screenshot #2: When I load into the new dynasty, everything is correct. Stadium=A, Ath Fac=A+. Then you start advancing, and the problems begin. Screenshot #3: This is the transfer portal week 1, year 1. My Stadium grade is now D+ (90k fan UCLA stadium), and Ath Fac grade is now C+. This issue persists no matter how many years you advance, or how many games you win. I did multiple other tests where I did force wins for 2-3 seasons and the same thing happens. Stadium never improved over D+, and the highest the Athletic facilities got was B- as a 5* prestige school with multiple championships. THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM FOR THE COMMUNITY: Doing some sleuthing online, it appears that I am not the only person with this problem. Here are some examples of other Online Dynasty Team Builder users experiencing the EXACT SAME GLITCH. Reddit User #1 Reddit User #2 EA Forums User #1 This is a huge, Dynasty-breaking issue for those that compete in 32-man online dynasties with Team Builders. I've seen very little exposure of this issue amongst the Dynasty community and want to be sure it is written somewhere so that it can be known and addressed. I fear, though, that this is something that won't get addressed until CFB27 (if at all...).132Views6likes5CommentsCustom Playbooks/Coach Suggestions Don’t Work In Dynasty
I created a playbook and rated the plays in gameplan for every situation. Coach suggestions are the same 6 plays over and over, regardless of down/distance/situation. Also it defaults to suggesting Onside Kick every time. Makes the game unplayable until this is patched.184Views6likes13CommentsField goals
I tried kicking a field goal and after hiking the ball and setting the power meter, the ball was snapped but the kicker never kicked the ball. The O line and D line kept blocking each other and the play never completed. This went on for several minutes before I left the game and restarted it. It has not happened with every field goal so it doesn’t seem to be a global glitch. I was playing a Dynasty season game as Akron vs Toledo in Week 5 in PS5. I took a video of it but the file is too big to post. Happy to email it to EA if provided with an email address.5263014813146bda16 days agoSeasoned Novice423Views6likes7CommentsUniversity of Hawaii Proximity to Home Grade
Summary: When playing as the University of Hawaii in dynasty mode, any prospect outside of Hawaii is rated as a "F" proximity to home grade. However, if you play as a California school, like USC, prospects from the state of Hawaii have a B+ proximity to home grade for USC. This should be the same grade going each direction, and when playing as University of Hawaii in dynasty mode, the proximity to home grade should be scaled like every other school based on the proximity of recruiting areas to your school. Current Behavior: When playing as the University of Hawaii in dynasty mode, any prospect outside of Hawaii is rated as a F proximity to home grade. Expected Behavior: When playing as University of Hawaii in dynasty mode, the proximity to home grade should be scaled like every other school based on the proximity of recruiting areas to your school, with a suggested mapping of those grades below. Suggested mapping: Below is a sourced list of other schools and their proximity to home grade for prospects from Hawaii to use as a baseline as to how Hawaii should be rated for proximity to home relative to different recruiting areas. I started a dynasty with each of these other schools and looked for prospects from Hawaii with a proximity to home dealbreaker and logged the grade the prospect had relative to the school. Results below. Recruiting Area = Grade (Source School) Hawaii = A+ (Hawaii) Southern California = B+ (USC) Northern California = A (Stanford) Oregon = B- (Oregon) Washington = C (Washington) Arizona = C+ (Arizona State) Nevada = B (UNLV) Idaho = C+ (Boise State) Utah = C+ (Utah) New Mexico = C- (New Mexico) Colorado = D+ (Colorado) Wyoming = D+ (Wyoming) Southwest Texas = D+ (UTEP) North Texas = F (SMU) East Texas = F (Houston) Don't have a school to test with in these states, but suggested based on states around it Alaska = C Montana = D All other states = F136Views5likes1CommentHit stick is not counting in Challenges
I've big hit the QB for a sack and it didn't count. The Hit Stick Challenges are absolutely broken. Even if you swap to Aggressive Tackle, nobody big hits, and if they do, it never counts. I've sat here for an hour now and can't get my team to Hit Stick anyone. If you're going to make Hit Stick Challenges fix the Hit Stick first pleaseWackyGrass8 days agoSeasoned Rookie84Views4likes1CommentDynasty Stadium Atmosphere grade not working
I havent seen anyone mention that stadium atmosphere is staying the same for all schools in dynasty. User schools in rebuilds stay at a d or F regardless of stadium size, attendance, team prestige. Cpu teams also stay the same as day 1 of a dynasty start teams that drop to 2* staying in top 15 of stadium atmosphere. If you watch any youtube videos of dynasty gameplay you will also see that the grade never changes. This is an issue for team prestige if the team prestige grade is tied to all school grades like last yr plus the obvious gameplay issue of not having dynamic home atmospheres for good teams.Zympothetic10 days agoSeasoned Newcomer183Views4likes8CommentsFIX THE CUSTOM PB DESYNC ERROR
come on guys. It didn’t work last year and unranked play now but now it doesn’t work in dynasty either? That is a dealbreaker.. So you give us the ability to make a custom playbook…. But we can’t use it in unranked, we can’t use it in road to cfp, and we can’t use it in dynasty now either?

I have seen that the custom playbooks are not working correctly. But was disappointed that a Fox was not coming on the next update. I see advertisements about the extra playbooks coming but nothing if the playbooks are going to be fixed. The custom playbooks does have something buggy going on with them. The default to onside kick and the coach suggestions do not work has been mentioned before. I have trouble finding a play when the playbook gets too large. CFB25 wouldn’t let me rate anymore plays at a certain point but that hasn’t happened in CFB 26 as of yet. Also, when I select a stunt on the custom playbook I think it breaks the favorite mechanic. I have not tried it on a non-custom playbook as of yet. But during a game I lose the ability to favorite a play. I will double tap the button to add it to favorites and when I use a stunt it will no longer work, it will just select that play. I use that to put my favorite plays on top of the favorites category, so the best are seen first. I really liked the coach suggestions when I have all my plays rated for situation. That gave me a mix of plays to call to keep my opponents guessing but now I have to look for them and really cannot remember them all. Lastly I tried free practice in dynasty with my team and custom playbook. It did not give me the option to respot the ball, etc. at the pause menu. I think only half of what is usually at the pause screen was there. I love using the custom playbook and tweaking it until it’s perfect but for now it doesn’t work and it needs some attention.dsmckaughan2 days agoSeasoned Newcomer52Views3likes5CommentsThey ruined this game :(
The last game was so much fun and free, everything in this game feels stiff and scripted and there’s nothing you can do about it. Can’t score on any type of run in the red zone against a better team because the o-line doesn’t know how to block, can’t throw it because my receivers drop 75% of passes the other 25% of the time the cpu perfectly times the swat for a pbu. Defense is impossible to get a stop in any kind of zone because my corners are trying to cover the opposite half of the field for no reason or they just watch the receiver catch the ball no matter when I press square or triangle. Just awful, had such a good product last year and then released this sloppy piece of garbage they should’ve just had a roster update and waited to release another game.Treyman86 days agoSeasoned Newcomer31Views3likes2CommentsRaw Strength OL costs too much to upgrade compared to other OL
The raw str archetype for OL costs 10-15 to upgrade things like blocking whereas the agile/well rounded/pass protector OL costs 3-6 to upgrade blocking. This cost is too much even when compared to other main stats for the other 3 archetypes.ixigaaraixi9 days agoNew Rookie40Views3likes1Comment
