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 logoFIX 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.Spring games & Mini games in dynasty
Can we get spring games added in dynasty? It’s a big part of the football season. Can add it in the menu where commissioners make schedules in the offseason, perfect for online dynasties. Also mini games like 7on7 & 2 minute drills would be nice to have to play in weekly practice as wellNeeds ACTUAL Roster Update
Please update the rosters to have players with their actual jersey number. If it’s a player likeness issue as to why we can’t edit numbers, then it doesn’t make sense that EA would have multiple teams with multiple players have the wrong number. Either let us edit them, to the correct number btw, or get your stuff together.Feature Request: Streaming games in Broadcast
TL;DR - Allow us to play games in the Standard camera view while simultaneously streaming gameplay in Broadcast view. My online Dynasty league loves the game. We all livestream our games to twitch so league members can watch. It would be so cool to be able to watch these games in Broadcast view like we are watching a real life broadcast on college football Saturday. While this is currently possible, it forces the user to play in broadcast view, which is not ideal and puts them at an objective disadvantage compared to Standard. What I’m suggesting is that a feature should be implemented to allow us to play in Standard view while simultaneously streaming the Broadcast view to 3rd parties like twitch. Broadcast view is so cool but its only current utility is watching CPU vs CPU because it’s so awful to play in. Please give us a reason to see it more often!Can the “Auto-Progress” button do one player at a time vs entire team
I think it would be a really beneficial and easy feature add to add a switch or slider that allows the “auto progress” button in roster management to progress only the selected player vs the entire team. this could be a very beneficial addition and increase the quality of life and player control over our dynasty rosters. Rather then spending hours manually doing players I don’t care about just to do the handful I want to control or delay takes a lot out of it for meCFB26 - Easy QOL Changes for Title Update
Hey all, Would love to provide some feedback on some low hanging fruit I think could be in a title update. Gameplay I play mostly Dynasty, never H2H, RTG, or rarely Play Now When using custom playbooks, kicking menu for kickoffs defaults to onside kick, it should default to the standard kicks When using custom playbooks, the kickoff formation the receiving teams is in always shows as onside kick in the kickoff selection screen even though they are in regular receiving formation You cannot audible as the kickoff receiving team if you accidentally select normal return and the kicking teams comes out in onside kick When the CPU kicks off there needs to be at least a 2 or 3 second delay to allow the user to select what player they want to be (especially true for onside kicks) The CPU Qb on AA difficulty still takes too many sacks. Needs to throw the ball away more Dynasty Please add what week the dynasty is in to the top of all pages in Recruiting Commissioner should be able to force wins and losses from the dynasty user page instead of having to navigate to team schedule for each user team Commissioner should be able to reset a played game like they could back in NCAA 14 Custom Playbooks Coaching Suggestions (aka Game plan in Custom Playbooks) is not working properly. The play limit for each scenario needs to be increased (I think the max right now is 15) and the suggestions should rotate
