Updated Teams Ratings& Rosters!!!
When will the updated team ratings and players rosters happened??? Alabama is ranked #14 but there defense is 96, while Florida State who beat Bama has an offense rating of 83?? There are more examples but this is a general one everyone saw what happen on the field. Please adjust the ratings for the all teams we are in week #4 and paper ratings need to be adjusted to match on the fiedl Madden does it if I'm not mistaken so why it hasn't happened yet for NCAA? AND PLEASE ADJUST MAN TO MAN COVERAGE IN ROAD TO CFP IT GOT BETTER BUT ITS STILL TERRIBLE!Kickoff Desync Issue + People disconnecting WiFi after scores to win.
I made it to the Heisman division, and I think people are forcing themselves wins with glitches. DAE have the issue where almost every single game, you get DeSynced at the opening kickoff? Or just straight up disconnected and end up receiving a loss? I’ve also played 2 guys who take the lead on me playing as LSU, and then disconnect from the game. For some reason, this counts as a loss for me. WTF.Desync Issue
Literally all day the game has been desyncing (I know that’s not a word) all day on college football road to the playoff mode. Every time the game starts I get ready to kick off the ball it does it. Also, for the better part of the day everybody on the team on my team, and the opposing team is wearing #56EA Please Give an option to forfeit a season in Road to CFP
When it's clear, I am overmatched and been prematurely promoted to a class me and my team cannot compete on, I should not have to suffer through grinding through 6,7,8 games just to being demoted. I knew before the season started that my skill level was not up to the division I was promoted to. There is no way I'm m good enough to be playing on all american, but here I am, suffering on this level. I know i'm not good enough to play on that level , but yet , and still i'm forced to grind through twelve games before I can escape the madness of playing at this level. We should be given an option to abandon and forfeit the rest of the season. We credit with the losses. There is zero incentive for grinding on a level that you're just not good enough to play on.Uniforms & night games
I know I’m just one fish in a HUGE OCEAN but I seriously will un-retire from Madden & not buy this next year IF I CANT CHANGE MY UNIFORMS , & TIME OF DAY , I love this game but I hesitate to play cause I’m constantly in the same uniform, I see the same non aesthetic sun light like come on now my brain needs something different, i want night games so I can see the light show!!!!!! I DON’T PLAY DYNASTY & RTG BORING ASF !!!!Playbooks and Plays Organization
I want to thank EA for making so many new plays! They are great. Unfortunately, it is causing a new problem for me, finding the right play at the right time. I would love it if we could organize our own plays. I like the way you can get to plays using "Concept" or "Play type" but I would love it if I could add my own categories and add/remove plays.Retired from this game
Update is trash! Sluggish & not fun anymore! Waste of money honestly! One of the top players in the world and it was a chore achieving that! Ashamed that this game series is already washed! Following the steps of call of duty…no one is playing that because of the Devs and unrealistic things happening in game! Disappointed EA. GIVE US WHAT WE WANT!Please remove stadium pulse from Road to the CFP
Stadium Pulse needs to be removed from Road to CFP ASAP. With people being able to choose any team, stadium pulse is being abused to give people a way to make games unfair and arcade-like. I thought it was a way to make games more realistic, but it doesn’t. Real kickers don’t miss 18-yard field goals on the road because of noise. It happened to me although the kick meter displayed perfect accuracy. Also, people with offenses that are based around pre-snap reads (eg. Veer and Shoot) are completely screwed when playing on the road. Please remove it so that online games are about who’s better, not who picked the loudest stadium.Matchmaking needs adjustments
I understand that it's still early and more players will join once the real College Football season...but dang all I play is top 25 teams. There is no way anyone should have to play 8-10 top 25 team just to make the CFP. For reference....The most top 25 teams a College football champion has played is 4(bama in 2020),4 top 25 teams in one season, not 8,9 or even 10. EA needs to adjust or stop filtering out lower tier teams. This would add more variety in matchmaking and bring back some of the fun we've lost from 25.Another review after the latest title update
I'll start by saying, I’m ranked in the 600s. Not saying that’s anything crazy, but it does mean I’ve spent a good amount of time with the game, especially grinding in the Heisman bracket. So based on all the hours I’ve put in, here’s my opinion of the game and what I’ve seen and experienced so far. Honestly, the update didn’t change much in CFP mode, aside from nerfing the PSU Wildcat play. Quarterbacks like Sellers can still run 20 yards backwards, zig-zag out of sacks, and somehow spin around to throw across their body to a wide-open receiver. Deep passes are still being exploited, especially with top-tier players like Smith, Williams, Anderson. And let’s be real—LSU is ridiculously overpowered right now. Even if you’re a solid player, the combination of their roster and cheesy plays makes it way too easy for anyone using them. Players are still throwing deep, switching to their receiver mid-play, and bumping defenders out of the way without drawing offensive pass interference. It’s wild. There are still a few cheese plays in the Texas and LSU playbooks that haven’t been addressed. For example, LSU’s 5 Wide All Go is still breaking coverage—even if you stop it a few times, eventually it’ll burn you. I don’t know if it’s LSU’s speed or just the play design, but defensive formations just can’t keep up. LSU can also walk up the field and kill stadium pulse just by running RPO Alert Bubble. Receivers like Smith, Williams, Anderson consistently beat press coverage, even against high-rated corners with strong press abilities. The game has basically turned into a pass-only experience. You can’t run the ball like you could in NCAA 25. Just look at the stats—most players are passing 65–80% of the time and running only 20–35%. If you check the top 100 players, their average rushing yards per game are super low. It’s clear passing is way too overpowered. If I run the ball 15 times in a game, my running back is dark orange. Meanwhile, I’ve seen receivers get targeted 10+ times over the middle, take huge hits, and still have high speed and catching ratings. And don’t get me started on dropped interceptions—there are way too many. I’ll have 8–10 passes thrown directly at my defenders and only come away with two picks. The only time I seem to get consistent interceptions is when I’m already winning big. Not sure why that is. Some receivers catch everything—double coverage, tight man coverage, it doesn’t matter. It honestly feels like Mario Kart sometimes. If you’re losing, especially at home, your team starts making insane catches in double or triple coverage, breaking tackles for huge gains. Even with 25 seconds left and three timeouts, players can drive down the field and score way too easily. It happens way too often to be coincidence. Defensive zones and pursuit angles are still questionable. Nothing really changed there. Man coverage is basically useless against top teams like Texas, Ohio State, Alabama, and LSU—you’ll get burned every time. It’s sad to say, but if you only play CFP mode, the game’s in a rough spot. On a Friday night, there are only about 6,000 players searching for a game in CFP, while CFB 25 has around 16,000. That tells you a lot. I think a lot of people have stepped away for now, waiting to see if things improve. It really feels like the devs dropped the ball on this one. And the scary part? They’re probably already focused on NCAA 27, which means they might not put much effort into fixing this version.Never Understood why
When you actually make the CFP and play those games you're team, especially on offense seems to play slower compared to the regular season. The throws you've made over and over again during the regular season seem to be overthrown in the CFP. Running Backs take longer to accelerate. WR can't catch the most simple passes. Even your star players seem to be playing like idiots. Not sure if anyone else has the same experience but its a real struggle for me. I use Oregon and I swear I can't get a win in the CFP after winning 7 nattys last year!!!Opponent ranking in Road to CFP?
I was so excited when I fired up CFB26 and in the first game my opponent’s record and ranking was shown before the game. Something I’d been missing so desperately! and in fact in one survey i wrote that I’d love to be able to see the opponent ranking after the game (and in the W-L history) but now rankings are completely gone i am sad please bring them back!!!!H2H online
I went from a top 30 player and beating people consistently on cfb 25 to not even being able to score. How does a dude that knows how to beat every zone in the game lose consistently. I’m sorry I’m too prideful and competitive to run metas and play with the best teams I rely on logical schemes and real life principles/manipulation of zones to beat opponents but because of stadium pulse and just broken defensive logic my style doesn’t make sense in a game like this. This is the worst competitive game ever. And I’m hurt cause I really played 90$ just to play 3 days early and to stop playing 2 weeks into the release LOL 😂😂. Who thought stadium pulse was a good idea like I just need to talk to dude and pick his brain 😂😂 as long as stadium pulse around I’ll stick to my roots in madden you can’t mess that up
