Lower rated teams playing like 99 every week.
Since the last update every lower overall team I have played most by 10 or more overall ratings play like they are 10 or more better. I know there should be upsets because they do happen. But not every time out. And it is happening in multiple leagues. I play Slow Simulation and Coach Mode.Accessories, suggestions
Accessory Update Suggestions for EA Sports College Football Jersey Cut Option: Add a jersey style with a front cut above the stomach/abdomen without forcing a visible backplate. This would let players recreate looks like Arch Manning’s jersey from last season, where the jersey was cropped in the front but the back remained clean. Numbered Wristbands: Add wristbands that automatically display the player’s jersey number, similar to how NBA 2K generates numbered accessories. This would add another layer of realism without requiring manual customization. More Sleeve Color Options: Expand the available colors for leg sleeves and arm sleeves so players can accurately match real-life team uniforms and individual player styles. Multiple Accessories on One Limb: Bring back the ability to equip multiple wristbands on the same arm and multiple bands/accessories on the same leg, like in the older NCAA Football games. This would greatly improve player customization. Guardian Caps: Add Guardian Caps as an optional accessory for practices and applicable game modes to better reflect modern college football equipment and current player safety trends.CFB 26 Ai is a flaming pile of garbage
I would like to know who decided that making a 90 overall on my team play like a jv high schooler while also making a mid 70 overall on the CPU play perfect defense the entire game was a good decision. It makes no sense for the CPU air to play perfect the entire game if you're not gonna make all ai play that way or even have ratings matter at all. Is there anyway I can get my team to play similarly to the CPU?New idea for Dynasty Mode for CFB 28
I have an idea that I think could make recruiting more immersive. Add a new coaching position called a Scouting Coordinator. This coach would have a separate pool of weekly scouting hours that is independent of recruiting hours and refills every week. Personally, I don’t enjoy spending a lot of time spending recruiting hours scouting every prospect after week 0, so this would let players invest in scouting without taking away from recruiting actions. The number of scouting hours could scale based on your school’s prestige (or NIL level). For example: A Prestige: 50 scouting hours per week (enough to scout another couple player) B Prestige: 40 hours C Prestige: 20 hours D Prestige: 10 hours F Prestige: 0 hours This would create another meaningful team-building decision. Bigger programs would have better scouting resources, while smaller schools would still need to be more selective with the information they gather. It would also make recruiting feel more realistic, since real college football programs have dedicated staff focused on evaluating talent.
Long Hair Styles/ Recruit edits in NCAA’27
Why aren’t there any long hair styles that hang out of the helmets in NCAA 27 dynasty mode and/ or Road to Glory? I understand the NIL ISSUES, but we should be able to fully edit a generated recruit’s hair style and body composition as far as muscular attributes!Ideas for Dynasty 28
Big on football realism in Dynasty for the most part they are doing excellent job at EA bringing the game back to life. Something cool that could be incorporated into future Dynasty / RTG modes is the use of actually having to send out scouts to review prospects. The ultimate immersive experience would be to set it up to have them gather game film for your specified recruit then have it so you can review the game film (simulate if that's to your preference). My ideas come from the College Hoops old recruiting system. This would be A++. Have the recruiting happen much more organic. Where certain recruits are matched up against each other (several star caliber recruits in each game). Organic recruiting you could have your sites on one player but notice another recruits performance that catches you off guard to spike your interest. This could easily be incorporated into RTG as well flipping the role from Team to Player. Pick your season highlights, combined with in person rating from scouts for overall star rating. Just some thoughts! We gotta keep making this game better & better!National Championship Win Changed to Sim Loss After Commissioner Advanced Week
Has anyone else run into this in an Online Dynasty I played and won my National Championship game. The game finished normally and I saw the final result, but before I got back to the Dynasty menu, the commissioner advanced the week. When I loaded back in, the Dynasty had recorded the game as a loss and awarded the championship to the other team. Is there any way for a commissioner to correct a National Championship result after the week has been advanced? Has anyone had success with EA restoring a Dynasty or correcting a game outcome in a situation like this? This is especially frustrating because it happened in the National Championship game after completing the entire season. Any information, workarounds, or experiences would be appreciated.Little Details For College Football 27 Dynasty

I can't get the 3k from players drafted or 1.5k from visiting player wins. I've stated another dynasty hoping this would've been patched by now but still nothing. Its very frustrating to get several years in a dynasty & can't really do much cause of bugs. Can I contact EA? I dont need the points refunded. I just want the glitch fixed.
Player “Styles”/Animations won’t save for offline Dynasty
idk if it’s a combination of bad animations the game can’t load, or if i’ve hit a limit as to how many players i can edit for the current season. But i genuinely spent a good 30 minutes just trying to change a WR’s running style to traditional, only for it to basically refuse to auto-save. I exited dynasty and tried again, restarted the game, then eventually my console all with no luck in solving my problem. I’m just trying to figure out if it’s a bug, or if it’s an issue with my game, or save file? or if it’s simply a matter of i’m not allowed to change any more animations’ of playersCollege Basketball 27 Cover Athlete idea
Georgia State University guard Jacob Meyer deserves to be on the cover of EA Sports College Basketball 27 because his career represents everything that makes college basketball exciting — hard work, confidence, big-game performances, and the ability to rise at every level. Meyer first broke out as one of the top freshman scorers in the country at Coastal Carolina, averaging 15.7 points and over 5 rebounds per game while scoring in double figures 28 times and dropping a career-high 32 points in the Sun Belt Tournament. After transferring, he continued to prove himself against tougher competition with multiple standout scoring performances and elite three-point shooting, helping his team break program shooting records. Now at Georgia State, Meyer brings experience, leadership, and an electric scoring ability that makes him one of the most exciting guards to watch heading into the new season. His journey through multiple programs shows resilience and adaptability, while his clutch moments and offensive firepower perfectly fit the fast-paced atmosphere EA Sports wants to capture. From breakout freshman star to proven college basketball playmaker, Jacob Meyer has earned the spotlight and would be the perfect athlete to represent the next generation of college basketball on the cover of EA Sports College Basketball 27. Also Believe Elliot Cadeau brings a different but equally important dynamic — elite playmaking, speed, court vision, and national recognition as one of the most talented young guards in college basketball. His flashy passing ability and fast-paced style make him the type of player fans want to use in a video game, while his leadership and basketball IQ make teammates around him better. Together, Meyer and Cadeau symbolize both the grit and the creativity of college basketball today. EA Sports should want cover athletes who not only produce on the court, but also bring energy, personality, and excitement to the sport, and both players perfectly embody that next generation of college basketball stars.

Tahaad Pettiford adds another level of explosiveness with his scoring instincts, quickness, toughness, and ability to completely shift momentum in a game. His fearless style and highlight-producing talent make him one of the most exciting young players in the country. Together, Meyer, Cadeau, and Pettiford represent the future of college basketball — skill, energy, personality, and competitiveness — making them the ideal athletes to headline EA Sports College Basketball 27.Commissioners managing online dynasty’s
EA, please make a College Football Dynasty Companion App for online dynasties. The main thing we need is the ability to advance weeks from our phone and handle recruiting without having to be on console. For online dynasties, especially with multiple users, it would make the mode way easier to manage. Features that would be huge: - Advance week from the app if you’re the commissioner - Do weekly recruiting from your phone - View prospects, boards, visits, dealbreakers, and scholarship offers - See user readiness status before advancing - Send league messages or reminders - View schedules, standings, rankings, stats, and team needs - Commissioner tools like force wins, user management, and league settings A lot of us play online dynasty with friends, and the hardest part is keeping the league moving when people are away from their console. A companion app would keep players engaged all week and make online dynasty way more active.Acquiring appropriate level coaches in dynasty
I am a head coach with level 100 all the ceo, program developer and elite recruiting perks and I still cant get coaches higher then level 20 and always a c or d grade. EA do better. In NCAA 27 allow us to shop coaches so we can better match coaches to our evel and style of play. Im forced to picm a low level coach that doesnt have my same offense or defense. This makes no sense tyhat we cant shop assistant coachesTeam Desparity in OVR challenges
Please stop leveling up low talent teams. I have an 99 OVR team with numerous National Championships and I still have problems simulating against a 75 OVR team. The talent on my team far exceeds the inferior team but yet my team will struggle against a 75OVR team. in simulation. So I play the whole game and I end up blowing them out 150-7. There is no need for me to have to play them but EA makes the inferior team beat my superior team if I simulate. Its a waist of time to be forced to play these obvious inferior teams. EA do better in NCAA 27.Bring back Dynamic Recruits
Ive played this game since the the very beginning and in the past recruits use to be dynamic and were able to go up and down the top 100 throughout the season (a 3 star could turn into a 5 star, a 5 star could turn into a 4 star). Can we please bring that back? It was such a nice thing and I'm sure I am not alone in saying I would love to see this return to the game. This is Day 1 of asking for this, hopefully a dev or someone who could make the suggestion can see this and relay it to someone who has any type of input.Add “Flex TE (FTE)” Depth Chart Position for Modern Offenses
Add “Flex TE (FTE)” Depth Chart Position for Modern Offenses Problem (What’s broken): The current TE depth chart forces one player group to handle two different jobs: - Inline TE (Y): attached to the line, blocks like an OL, plays in heavy personnel - Move/Flex TE (F): detached, plays in space (slot/wing), runs routes in spread/gun This creates: - Inconsistent personnel across formations - Poor role resolution (blocking TE in space, receiving TE forced inline) - Extra setup time and more in-game errors Core Idea: Create a separate Flex TE (FTE) position on the depth chart—similar to SLWR. How It Works: TE Depth Chart (Inline Y Role) - TE1 — primary inline TE - TE2 — secondary inline TE - TE3 — depth Flex TE Depth Chart (F / Move TE Role) - FTE1 — primary receiving/space TE - FTE2 — backup flex TE - FTE3 — depth Formation Logic (Auto Assignment): - Under Center / Heavy Sets (I-Form, Ace, 12/22 personnel): use TE depth chart - Gun / Spread / Empty / Detached Alignments: use FTE depth chart - Wing / H-back / motion-heavy looks: prioritize FTE Dual TE Usage (Inline + Flex in Same Formation): Some formations require both roles at once (one TE attached, one detached). This system supports both simultaneously. Assignment Rules: - Inline TE positions → pull from TE depth chart - Detached/slot/wing TE positions → pull from FTE depth chart Examples: - Gun Doubles w/ TE + Slot TE: - Inline TE → TE1 - Slot TE → FTE1 - 12 Personnel (1 RB, 2 TE): - TE on LOS → TE1 - TE off-ball/wing/slot → FTE1 - Ace Slot / Split Wing: - Attached TE → TE1 - Motion/Wing TE → FTE1 Fallback Rules (for stability): - No FTE available → use TE with best receiving traits - No TE available → use FTE inline (with blocking penalty) Unicorn / Every-down TE (Dual-Role Player): This system should support rare players who can excel both inline and in space—an “every-down TE.” Concept: - Equivalent to an every-down RB who never leaves the field - Can block like a Y and win in space like an F System Rule (Dual-Role Eligibility): - A player can be assigned to both TE and FTE depth charts - If ranked #1 in both → he stays on the field across all formations - Alignment changes based on formation (not substitution): - Heavy sets → lines up inline (TE role) - Spread sets → lines up detached (FTE role) Substitution Conditions: - Fatigue - Injury - Explicit package rotation (TE2/FTE2) Why This Matters: This mirrors systems already in the game: - WR vs SLWR - HB vs 3DRB / PWHB TE is the only skill position still forced into one role, while modern football separates: - Y (inline) - F (flex/move) This system also properly values rare “unicorn” players instead of forcing them into one role. Gameplay Benefits: - Cleaner role resolution (players stay in correct roles) - More realistic substitutions across formations - Less reliance on manual formation subs - Better CPU roster logic - Rewards elite, versatile players - Creates meaningful roster decisions (specialists vs everydown TE) Recruiting & Development Impact: Encourages clear TE archetypes: - Y TE: strength, run block, pass block - F TE: speed, agility, route running, catching - Everydown TE: rare blend of both (premium asset) Bottom Line: Modern football treats TE as two positions: attached (Y) and detached (F). Adding Flex TE (FTE)—with support for dual-role “everydown” players—aligns the depth chart with real usage, improves gameplay realism, and reduces unnecessary micromanagement.Would love this for cfb 27
I would love to have the ability to create prospects from scratch in dynasty mode. I don't know why this isn't a feature already. Also is it too much to ask to be able to import draft classes to Madden?? I understand there are licensing limitations, but make it happen already! Would be the best way to guarantee you got my money on both titles every single year.
Adding players to Madden draft classes
I feel that if you coach someone and they are auto generated and let’s say they’re a 99 ovr elite dev trait and they leave for the NFL, you should have the option to export that player to a madden draft class. That way you can follow that players career or even multiple. Like if you have a Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase kind of situation where they play together in college and the NFL. It can be a new level of immersion for the playerbase to get more in touch with both games. I understand there would be conflict in doing this with the current rosters with the licensing but if it’s only auto generated guys, I don’t see an issue.
