Online dynasty
The recruiting in this game is so bad. In a dynasty between me and my brother there was a five star gem me and him were both going after. I am UAB He is FAU I was number one on this recruit in the preseason he was number three. I had a one star pipeline my brother had A zero. I had a week 8 visit that gave me plus 4 arrows my brother had a week nine visit in a game he lost and gained no arrows. I had a all a+ pitch my brother did not. we are both a three star team prestige and my brother does not have a single thing better than me. Then the portal hits and magically I go down to number 2 and he goes to number one. Execpt my brother i literrally locked out of him because of pro potential so he has no hours while I have a all a+ pitch and a better pipeline and visit and he still goes to my brothers team while still be locked out.Major Update On Gameplay On Dynasty
Ok lets start with this y'all say Y'all want the game to feel real and make it more like today college football in real life ok im with that. 1.First thing first before the season start can we have the teams at least to top ten schools can compete for a championship in the game cuz u know every team change every year so i want to see the too 10 schools they think can win it all. 2.Ok u know teams gone play each other probably two times out the year at most or maybe even 3 times sense we got the college football playoff so im saying when we play had up again can we bring up the old game we played head to head before we play again with the score and who did they thing last game or if we play 3 times in the season can they bring up both games we played and say we spit the wins or we took both wins or ect CUZ THEY NEVER BRING IT UP IF ITS SUPPOSED TO FEEL REAL. 3. For the conference championship to all winning teams can they get recognized by winning the conference championship or if they won both can we say that too not just the national championship if they won both they should be recognized for both championships SO IT SHOULD BE THEY PLAYING THE DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPION AND THE WHATEVER CONFERENCE THEY PLAY IN TOO GETTING SAIDFake Jet HB Seam is messed up
Has this been happening to anyone on Xbox? Anytime I run the Fake Jet HB Seam play, which is one of my favorite plays, the receiver goes past the LOS when motioning and gets me a 5 yd penalty. At first, the motioning receiver would motion to the tight end and get stuck until I burned a timeout or i got a dead ball penalty, now this. These bugs and glitches are insane!Dynasty Cannot pair with other players
In online dynasty all of a sudden we can not play any user games this is crazy and a shame all them money we pay for theses games and always some issues this need to be fixed as soon as possible also , u cannot even play against friends due to error messages., 👿😡👿Dynasty completely BROKEN
I don’t know where to start with my frustration. I play with Miami and my stadium atmosphere hasn’t moved even I won back to back national championships. THAT NEEDS TO BE PATCHED IMMEDIATELY!! Not only that but how come Miami only has ONE team color?!? Please fix these issues as primary color orange secondary color green or black.Custom Head Coach Causing Server Error
I run an online dynasty and we are in season 5 about to start season 6 and I have a few new people I recruited to join, but in the last few days any time any of them try to join and make a custom HC they get a server error message when they try to sign the contract. I got on a burner account to try it out and it kicked me with the error as well. I wanted to know if there. is a fix to that? I created a brand new league and there were no issues with making a custom HC so it has to be something with old leagues
Why don’t some phys traits match archetypes?
As said above, there are some physical traits that make no sense. For example, “Zone” CBs. Why on earth do zone corners NOT have the best zone physical ability in the game (Robber)? But the “Field” archetype has both Robber and Blanket coverage traits. EA devs really have no idea what they are doing, year after year. This stuff is crazy bro…it’s really not hard to check your product. Do any of y’all actually play your game or do you just whip up some nonsense and say “oh well, these people will still buy it,” because you are the only company that makes these games? This is why there should be no such thing as creative licenses. Y’all really need a competitor so you can stop putting out this trash every year.
Has EA abandoned this game?
I thought the news of the sale of EA could be promising. I had hoped. I guess that was a wrong assumption... After seeing a title update to Madden set to drop tomorrow, I am starting to believe they are just abandoning this game. I cannot remember the last quality update. They added uniforms and equipment, but have done nothing to address any actual issues since the first title update, really. They have actually created more issues and glitches. It seems every time they add something, it messes up something existing, and then they choose to just leave those things broken. I have lost hope that any existing issues will be fixed, and I firmly believe we will not get any further updates for this game. I don't get why EA would add anything new at this point when they can't even get the things that were already in the game at launch to work again/correctly. They COULD fix most issues with a small patch, but choose not to. They chose to release the first roster update in October after the season was halfway finished. That is how little they seem to care. I truly just wish the things that were added to the game this year simply worked. EXAMPLE: I wish in Dynasty, I could go into recruits(once they are on my roster) and actually edit the styles tab. Throwing styles, running styles, stances, etc. Instead, this has been broken for months, and they choose not to put out an easy fix/patch(hasn't worked for the majority of the life of the game at this point). You edit the styles to what you want, and once the week advances, it just randomizes everything in that tab. HAHA. Each week, my Freshman QB has a different throwing style and stance. SUPER REALISTIC!!! If they can't fix something this small, that is a huge embarrassment for EA and the College Football 26 team. It was in the game at launch, and lots of these were newly added to the game this year. Why add something that doesn't work? Somewhere, they added something to the game that broke this feature in a patch or title update, chose not to fix it, and just decided to leave it. PLEASE EA, just stop adding new things until you can get your game to work with the features it currently has. No sense adding a feature that probably took a lot of time to build, and then just breaking it a couple of weeks later and leaving it broken for the life of the game. It is lazy and honestly just shows you and your team don't care. It is sad to see the Madden team still pumping out updates, and the College Football 26 team just giving up on the game already, with a little over 2 weeks left of the regular season. I expected more in year two. Just more effort. Instead, we got fewer title updates, fewer roster updates, and fewer fixes. At this point I guess we will see if they even put out a college game next year. Nothing surprises me at this point.Can I get an admin or Dev to explain this to me please…
Why are there stats that we can upgrade that aren’t even listed on the depth chart? For example…I upgraded a running back’s route running and it upgraded: short route running, medium route running, and deep route running. Can you guess which of those isn’t even listed on the depth chart for a running back? That’s right…DRR is not listed. It goes from SRR, MRR…to REL. there’s literally no DRR. But it’s listed in the upgrade screen. Does that stat do anything in the game for a running back? Can they run deep routes? If not, then you are kinda screwing us when a running back is in the slot. This needs fixed. Next…why aren’t archetype attributes listed for all positions in recruiting? If I’m recruiting a contact seeker, why aren’t are his stiff arm stats listed? Why are his trucking stats not listed? Those are his main archetype stats, right? Why do I care about his catching or juke and spin move? He’s a contact seeker. His job is to seek contact…not juke or spin away from it. So, his trucking and stiff arm should be listed there, right? What about strength?! How about backfield threats? Why do I only see the regular catch stat and not contact catch or any of his route running? How am I supposed to recruit a dude for that archetype if I can’t even see the stats that matter for him? Fix your game. This is bad.Auto-Generated Recruits in Dynasty Mode Need Major Overhaul for Realism
Recruiting is the foundation of long-term immersion in Dynasty mode, and right now, the system in CFB 25/26 doesn’t reflect real college football in any meaningful way. This post breaks down where it misses the mark, based entirely on real recruiting data from 247Sports, Rivals, and On3—while also recognizing that previous games and mod communities handled this far better. Position, Size, and Speed Mismatches • Offensive Linemen: The game frequently generates 5-star OL recruits at 6’1”, 260 lbs. → In real life, Power 5 OL recruits are almost always 6’4”–6’6”, 290–330 lbs. • Edge Rushers & Linebackers: Many edge players are 6’0”, 215 lbs with 4.3 speed. → That’s not an edge profile. Elite edge recruits are 6’3”+, 240+ lbs, and move with power, not DB speed. • Tight Ends: Top-tier tight ends are often just 6’0”–6’1” in the game. → Real FBS-level TEs are usually 6’4”–6’6”, especially among 4- and 5-star recruits. If you go on 247 sports and look at the top recruits for that position not a single one is under 6’3”. • Speed: Too many recruits across all positions are clocked in the 4.3–4.4 range. → That level of speed is rare even among elite receivers and DBs. In the game, it’s overrepresented and shows up in unrealistic places. Geographic Distribution Is Off • Real-world recruiting is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and California. → In-game, top players come just as frequently from low-output states like Vermont or Idaho. That undermines the concept of regional pipelines and realistic talent hotbeds. Positional Accuracy Gaps • Defensive Backs: In real recruiting, nearly all top-tier corners and safeties are Black. → In-game, entire classes of DBs are often white, which doesn’t reflect modern recruiting reality. • Kickers & Punters: At the FBS level, these positions are almost entirely filled by white players. → Yet the game regularly generates Black specialists, which doesn’t align with actual rankings or rosters. What NCAA 14 + CFB Revamped Did Right The most frustrating part is that this issue has already been solved — by the community. The CFB Revamped mod on NCAA 14 completely fixed the recruiting realism problem. The modding community created incredibly realistic, in-depth recruiting classes that reflected actual trends in size, speed, geography, position, and appearance. Classes were balanced, believable, and rewarding to recruit from — because they were based on how the sport actually works. These were created and shared for free, by people who simply cared about the game. I just want to hold EA Sports accountable to deliver at the same standard that a fan community reached with a 10-year-old game and no budget. What Would Fix It 1. Update the recruit generator to reflect: • Realistic size and weight by position • Appropriate and rare elite speed • Geographic recruiting hotbeds • True positional archetypes 2. Apply race-based trends where it’s clearly backed by real data (for DBs and specialists). 3. Give users the ability to edit recruits or import custom classes, as we could in older titles or via Revamped. Final Thought I enjoy the gameplay. It’s fun. College football being back is something I’m genuinely excited about. But the auto-generated recruits are so disconnected from reality that it breaks any long-term investment in Dynasty mode. Recruiting is what defines the future of your program. It’s the core mechanic that gives Dynasty its longevity. And when it doesn’t even loosely reflect how recruiting works in real life, it becomes hard to take the mode seriously over multiple seasons. Nobody’s expecting perfection. But right now, this part of the game simply doesn’t work. Either fix it—or give us the tools to do it ourselves.Dynasty playoff stadiums
I know in real life and currently in the game every playoff game past the first round is at a pre selected bowl game. Could we have an option in the dynasty settings where we can change this to where we’re at the home stadium of the higher seed for more rounds of the playoffs? Or we could have a slider that you can select how many rounds of the playoffs that you want at home stadiums, up to including the national championship game. For this game we wouldn’t need to adjust much audio from commentary, if any. Id be cool with just leaving the commentary as is until cfb27.
