Food for thought CFB 27...
Find out how often teams sub in a live game for positions like HB, LB, DB, DT and boost the back up ratings. In an online/offline game those heavy sub positions will automatically sub due fatigue and then switch back to the starter after 1 play, couple plays/series. Keep limited access on playbook in hurry up but be able to scroll thru different formations is good as is. Find the balance for no huddle teams/look over teams to make it fair. Add a cut scene where a playera helmet comes off and he has to come off for one play. On time out add a cut scene of a live game huddle and females trainers running out with the Gatorade bottles. Add a cut scene on an upset win but only on big upsets, fans rush the field and take down goal post.Get away from ultimate team....
Ultimate team takes so much space for the game. People really want ranked online head to head. Find a way to make it easier for people find online dynasty leagues which is still competitive but you can relax on your ranked record. And if there is a menu of leagues to join instead of just post messages on your home screen that be cool. Find a way to put unranked matches back into this i.e a lobby just for unranked inviting and ranked matches are matched make as is.Going fwd CFB 27
Keep classing passing. You only have a few seconds and it's been classic passing as an option for 20 years. Fix the kick meter to something simpler, these guys make 60 yard FGs no problem real life. The only time the kick meter should be difficult is like game winning kick or late in the game. Love the mini games-allow those to play with friends online too. Allow custom playbooks in online head to head. Allow uniform selection for home team online head to head and force away team to wear white. Just gray out anything white for home team. Bring back 5 min quarters online head to head. Bring back the lobby to allow unranked games to play anyone not just people on your friends list. And make the ranked matches done thru current match making. Start a scheme in addition to an offense/defense type. You could pick spread, air raid, run n gun, triple option, ace pro years before. Now step that up and put in addition. I.E mesh concepts in a spread offense, Oregon duck spread, Twist blitzing LBs on defense, T80 cut offense (similar to Jordan love at Utah St), Mike Leach air raid etc.
Very Disappointing Game
Can we get consistent roster updates... so many players changed numbers or positions. Player ratings and team ratings need big adjustments after wk 1 of CFB. There are players who are two way and we are not able to use them. Players still missing from game, face scans, etc. Really ruined this game to boost Madden.Formation Specific Play Additions
In the formations Gun Slot Rt & Gun Wide Slot Rt, there is a couple Counter Y play and variants, but I can’t help but notice in Gun Slot Left, & Gun Wide Slot Left there are zero Counter Y plays, this play is a staple in just about any offense that carries these formations in their playbooks, but CFB26 only has them in Slot Right and variants instead of both Slot Right and Slot Left. Additionally there needs to be more “air raid” passing concepts and run plays and variations in these formations, specifically the formations (all Gun) Wide Slot Right. Wide Slot Left, Wide Slot Right Weak, Wide Slot Left Weak, Slot Right. Slot Left, Slot Right Weak, Slot Left Weak, I apologize for the repetitiveness but these are all formation in game that need to be upgraded/improved to all have “Counter Y,” HB dive, inside zone split, Wide Zone, Strong toss, RPOs, Speed Option, Power Read with the TE lead blocking, HB Base, Stick, Flood, Verts, Curls, Slot Cross, Double Post, PA plays for each new run added. Basically give them the treatment Gun Y off Trips, that formations carries just about everything you need, I know they’re similar, but I like using the TE in the “Slot” alignment better, on top of real life teams use ALL of these plays and More, this is one of the most versatile “Formation Families” in real life, but in CFB 26 were limited to only a handful or two of plays specifically for Tennessee and Wake Forrest’s playbooks, but the reality is every major spread teams carries this “formation family” being able to run some of these plays would be a fantastic improvement to the usefulness of these formations. please CFB26 gods, add these things, I’ll make a spreadsheet of what needs to be added, I’ll join the dev team for free, this needs to be improved, but all things considered, playbooks are incredible this year. Well done overall!Arkansas errors
When playing with Arkansas the Helmet logo is wrong, looks like it isn’t positioned on the helmet correctly with the razorback looking like it’s hunched over instead of being straight back looking. Also the field goal post pad should say HOGS on it instead of secondary logo. Also coaching gear for Arkansas should have the original Arkansas razorback logo on it instead of secondary logo
Women in Coach Customisation Options?
With all the new customisation features and over 1,700 head models added for the audience, it is a statement not to add the option for the coach creator. It doesn't need to be a highlighted or pushed as a major feature, because it isn't. It's a baseline for equality.
Unlimited Team Builder teams created and downloaded in CFB 26.
You can only download 16 teams on the actual game but create 32 teams on the website. We need unlimited teams that can be created and downloaded. Bring back the option to buy 120 slots and download them to the game like you could in the OG NCAA Football 14 Team Builder which is absolutely the GOAT. It would be cool to have that 120 team option so I can create two teams from each state and make some great tournaments. We also need to be able to place more custom layers on the uniforms and the field because 5 isn't enough.FIX THIS POS GAME.
Every single update so far has ruined an aspect of the game. They either make cosmetic updates or make a gameplay update that fixes something and ruins 5 other things. Still have yet to even bother with the overall differences. It makes no sense to me that my 94 overall defense can't stop a 62 overall offense and they play against me as if they're Ohio State or Bama no matter what kind of adjustments are made. The no call DPIs when my receivers being contorted 5 yards before the ball gets there, DB hands glitching through my receivers torso to make a pick, tackles being missed because the game decides not today, my QB throwing the ball straight to the ground 3 yards in front of him and not to mention the blocking assignments being absolute trash. It's outrageous and I'm honestly so disappointed I spent $70 on this piece of **bleep** they refuse to make better.
The #1 hope for the future. Export/Import.
- This is about EA brining back (what I think) is the best overall MAJOR feature that could bridge more customers for CFB AND MADDEN. The export draft class feature - Anybody that has played the older NCAA & Madden games often reminisce on the features from those releases. And as much as I want to criticize not having them all, I am happy to have a game to play in 2025. However, some of them absolutely boil my blood. Bringing this back would COMPLETELY CHANGE the potential for more immersion and longevity in gameplay! I can’t express enough how much better the games would be with this. The ability to see random players that balled out in your dynasty, scatter across the draft and have different careers. The Heisman winner falling in the draft, but the underrated guy that was injured ends up a pro bowler! I mean, it changes everything! Real players or not! EA as a company has one job. To make money. If they had it their way, ALL the fans would but the deluxe MVP bundle every year. My point is, if they want that, then the best way to do it is to make BOTH GAMES more playable long term & as immersive as possible. BRINING BACK THE EXPORT DRAFT CLASS feature would ABSOLUTELY BOOST sales of the MVP bundle. Now, obviously there is a hurdle with the NIL thing but yet, on RTG you can create whoever you want, and take them into Madden. And if you tel me they can’t find a way to make it where the feature only works with NON NIL players later in the dynasty, you’re mistaken. They already have it wear the NIL players are tagged and unable to be edited so they could do the same thing when making them YN-exportable. By the time the dynasty has previously recruited players ready to be drafted, most NIL players would be gone anyway. side note. In the older games, there use to be a feature when you start the dynasty, thst let you auto generate random player names and likeness, this also could be re added. There are several ways they could bring this back.
