Player Styles Glitch
For some of the players that we are able to edit, primarily the AI Gen players, their styles revert back to their original ones. When I edit one player’s styles (ball carry, run style, stance, etc…), it reverts back once I exit out of my dynasty. Some of the players remain the same after i’ve changed them, but it’s always certain ones who do not.
Transfers and other feedback
This is from a purely sim dynasty player. I slow sim frequently but fast sim as well. I'm rebuilding Bowling Green and I have officially turned off the transfer portal. I got my first 5-star QB who didn't care about playtime all season. The season finishes and he decides he's transferring due to playing time, nothing I can do about that. The real broken logic is that bro was going to start the following season. Maybe make redshirts not want to transfer over playing time? Also, it was mentioned at some point that EA worked to improve the difference between low overall and high overall teams. So why did my perfectly healthy 90 overall team get absolutely destroyed by Akron AT HOME...? This happens honestly quite frequently. I've looked up the best playbooks and what not, adjusted my depth charts, i don't know what to do. So did y'all just lie about that? Sometimes, at least once per game in slow sim, my QB just... won't snap the ball and take a delay of game. Just stand there clapping for 30ish seconds. I've had this happen up to 3 times, could've happened more but I just restarted the game. It is literally impossible to recruit OLBs. I was able to recruit them earlier in the dynasty. But something happened and now it's impossible. Every single OLB hates my school due to playstyle. Not even one stars. I someone knows what's going on with this one and maybe give me a fix that would be great. Finally, the sack-fest. I built an elite defense, and it is nice to get 10-13 sacks a game but... it is quite ridiculous. Aside from these complaints which are extremely frustraing (except the sack-fest), I have actually been enjoying dynasty.
(GAME KEEPS CRASHING) CAN YOU PLEASE FIX ONLINE DYNASTY??
While playing my online dynasty, my game keeps crashing after about a quarter and a half of gameplay. My game was just fine until the update before the newest title update. I deleted the game and reinstalled it and it's still doing the same thing. I've never had crashing issues up until now. CAN YOU PLEASE FIX IT! For context I'm in my second full season, 6th game on the road at Oklahoma with my Teambuilder created team on the PS5 Pro. This is so frustrating.What's the point?
What is the point of these forums? EA doesn't seem to acknowledge anything we put on here, but let a content creator or famous person say something on twitter and EA devs quote tweet it, reply to it, or post it. There are meaningful changes that us regular people want that will make the game so much better and bring us back year after year. Do better EAStill no meaningful change.
Still no draft import…. At least just us import our cpu generated players. Plus no new equipment like one legged sleeves, ski masks, shirt and tape/shirt and shooter sleeve combos….. still no ability to just create your own recruit( again, just get rtg’s player creators and put it into dynasty…. Problem solved.) honestly this game is very underwhelming and I really am starting to not like that I spent this money for a game that is severely incomplete. So yeah im passing on madden until they get this right.
DealBreakers are broken
Devs, The dynasty deal breakers are broken. Week after week deal breakers are locked for things I have a better grade in. Deal breaker/ Championship Contender / Have: B | Need: C+. Player is locked. Play Style/ I average 150+ yards rushing with QBs and RBs, and Pure Runner, every RB archetype has an D grade. East/West Receiver (HB), nothing. Receptions: average 25+ receptions a game, every WR playstyle has F grade. TE receptions same thing. OL - Raw Strength/Well Rounded/Agile - Avg 400+ yard offense, C grade. OLB - Total tackles dont add up, says 0 but I have several players with tackles. So, F grade. Safety - Total tackles - 65+ thru 6 games. D+ grade. K - points per game - 0. My team average 50+ points a game and I kick field goals but not registering. Playstyle is a significant recruiting aspect but its broken which deal breakers lock you out of significant recruiting chances.
Sub issues
So, I am in my 4th season with Kansas. I have a Jr running back that is 83 overall and just signed a 5-star freshman RB that is 82 overall. I decided to have the freshman be my starter. However, during games I will get maybe 7-10 carries with him before he disappears for the rest of the game and the backup becomes the main running back. I’ve gone into my depth chart to switch things around and move the Jr backup down the list, thinking maybe they are doing it because he’s 83 while the freshman is 82. Well, instead of them putting the freshman back in, they just have the 3rd and 4th string guys that I moved up to the 83 overall guy’s spot and the freshman is still a ghost. Can someone tell me what’s happening and how to fix it? I don’t want to just turn off fatigue or anything like that because fatigue should be part of the game, but is this a bug or something?
Saturdays Under The Lights Dynasty
A new “no user switch” league looking for like minded users who want extreme realism as their experience. “No user switch” means allowing the cpu WRs to catch passes as opposed to switching players and manually catching. Our goal is to provide a realistic simulation of college football for all users — instead of “user skill” we value smart play calling and roster management. As we are a new league this year, we are looking for like minded individuals who have the same passion and vision to join our Admin team. Admins would be expected to be active in our server, build a media presence and support users when needed. If you are interested in joining Saturdays Under The Lights and want more information send me a dm here or add my discord bk#7689You have got to tone down the home field advantage......
Love CFB, was so happy it returned. I ran 5 dynasties last year and have 3 so far this year with intent to add more later. However, I have to say that the absolute overpowered nature of home field advantage is going to drive me away from wanting to play this game. I understand that the home field team should have an advantage, and that's seen by the usual inability to audible, hot route, shaking icons, etc. But on top of that, when I play away, my line let's 3 man rushes get home unblocked. My defenders drop picks to their chest, bat them down, or let them go between their bodies, I get hit while throwing and the ball flops to a LB 45 yards away from the intended target not even the same direction, my best players get injured and often in moments where it means i'm taking an injury timeout to help my opponent drive with extra stoppages, I get Mossed on catches from the home team despite throwing into heavy coverage and i drop wide open passes thrown to my players. I throw a pass 10 yards down field and a lineman two inches in front of the QB picks it off almost off his hands. The home team will catch a ball while getting hit, hold onto and also break the tackle and go for a TD, they can spin multiple times in one spot or just **bleep** their body by half an inch and my defender will be on skates. It basically makes it almost a foregone conclusion that the home team will win unless you're 100x better than your opponent or have a team that is about 25 overall better. I don't mind losing because I got outplayed, but I hate losing because a bunch of unrealistic breaks happen solely against me the entire game. I've never been more frustrated in my life while playing a video game than when i'm playing on the road in CFB26. It really has to be toned down a little. Again, the other effects are already a huge disadvantage without all the extra shenanigans going on.2 Weeks Post-Launch, 3+ updates, still no fix to Dynasty Crashes
Hey EA_Kent EA_Barry, what happened? You have a game director saying on X that this issue has never been reported, meanwhile thousands of comments fill your forums, Reddit, X, etc. are filled with similar comments. I was told this update would fix it, as I was told with last weeks. Still nothing. 3 updates have gone by; I still haven't been able to get through a dynasty game. It's incredible the negligence and lack of clarity you have given to us. It is too late to get a refund, still can't play the game, this is horrible. One of the worst companies out there. Here's a fun game to play, O/U 10 days before one of these terrible community managers stops ignoring the issue that fills the majority of the Dynasty feed on here. We have all been scammed once again by EA.Postseason
Hello, my friends and I just finished our first season in dynasty. All things went well until the end of the season. You guys said you fixed the tiebreaker but my friend finished 4th in the big 12 even though he beat both the 2nd and 3rd team who had the same conference record. Same thing happened for me in the big ten but we were fighting for 13 so less stakes. Lastly, in the bowl games, it had Ohio state vs Illinois. And both my friend and I finished at 7-5 but didn’t make a bowl game. this is nitpicking but in the CFB bracket, It has marked around 8 teams as automatic qualifiers when it should be 5. thanks. I’m loving the game and all the work you guys put in.I have an Update on dynasty mode crashes
(see attachment) so one of the main devs is on twitter saying he has has no idea about the dynasty mode crashes despite so many people here and on twitter and reddit complaining about not being able to play a game without it crashing. all of these posts here and they’re still oblivious we have no chance and we can’t get a refund I can’t believe this is real lifePosition changes not recognizing recruits
Minimum position numbers are preventing me from making position changes even though I exceed the minimum as it is not recognizing the new players that I just recruited. for example, I have 6 WRs, I recruited 3( 3 from previous season) , I want to change one of them to TE as I actually only have 3 TEs. However the game is preventing me from changing as it says I only have 3 WRs. when I look at the depth chart is still isn’t showing the new recruits even though I am at National signing day and this is the time to change the new recruits position. how do I fix this?Ranking Logic is Broken H2H wins don’t matter
Ranking Logic is killing dynasties. 2 teams with the same exact record in the same conference with similar strength of schedule. The loosing team that gets swept remains ranked higher and gets in the playoffs and the winning team gets left out and ranked lower.Dynasty issues
Let me preface by apologizing if what I am about to write has already been addressed but I have some eye issues that will not allow me to read for long periods of time. So I will get to it: 1. My coach has hit level 100 and now I no longer receive any XP points? If so, why cap the coach? Building him up is one of the better parts of the game. Now I cannot unlock like 60% of the categories. 2. The rain nearly every game needs to stop. 10% would be realistic. Maybe be able to control the weather again. 3. Why can’t I take off the stadium atmosphere BS? At least give me the option off turning off all the route distortion. 4. How do I win a recruiting battle when it is down to two schools? Any recommendations? 5. Why can’t I snap the ball when in shotgun right after making a fake snap? That is all for now. Any input would be appreciated.Two-Way Player Stats are not accounted for in Dynasty
This was an issue that sort of went under the radar back in 25, but it's prevalent here in 26 now as well. When you play a dynasty game with a wide receiver at corner, or a corner at wide receiver (or even a kicker at quarterback), they have stats for both offense and defense for THAT SPECIFIC GAMES STATS SCREEN ONLY. But if you click back to the dynasty menu, those stats are gone for good. Meaning that the only stats that do show for those players is the side of the ball their position already plays for. The only way you can make them a Two-Way Player is if you change their position after the season. But even then, that defeats the purpose because their stats are still only going to show for the position they are already listed as. Not to mention they will take a massive dip in overall most of the time when you fo change their positions. I just want to be able to play a Two-Way player and keep track of their stats in my dynasty. Travis Hunter was literally on the cover last year and his stats only counted for Wide Receiver. If you see this, please fix this.
