Honest Road To CFP feedback.
I'll start by saying EA has done a great job bringing college football back to game. Thank you for the hours of work and dedication. With that said here is some honest feedback from a longtime football gamer... The defense in Road to CFP does not exist. I have literally seen highly rated linebacker stare directly at the qb and allow a slant to go right passed them without even moving. The defense needs to go back to what it was in 25. Not having the ability to select my uniform is undoubtedly the biggest let down in 26. Can we at least select a home and away uniform before starting a season and that be loaded based on being home and away? Stadium Pulse well .... sucks. You can't do anything with it. That mixed with poor defense almost hands the home team a win. Top that off with being able to see home vs away, you'll see everyone running to LSU for their road games in no time. Lastly, interception have been needed into the ground. Im almost 75 games in and I have less then 5 ints but probably twice as many drops or "out of reach" messages. Please fix because if teams can't play defense everyone will be using LSU very soon. thanksPunting online play
Despite being able to punt at full power I can't punt past 28-30 yards or so. I know very few ever punt but this is unrealistic to be able to punt only 30 yards if i hit full or near full power. Anyone else experience unrealistic short punts? Please address this love the game overall but this is a problem. IWhy saved depth charts need to carry over into Road to CFP games...
Couldn't believe it when I saw it... Entire defensive positions...left empty. Are you serious??? Give us control over who sees the field BEFORE online H2H games launch. And while you're at it...get rid of this "generic defensive playbook" y'all got us running with. If you're forcing us to use each team's default offensive playbook (which I fully endorse btw), do the same on the other side of the ball. I'm trying my best not to be a "Negative Nancy", but these type of decisions are are baffling. How did nobody catch this in the "exclusive" beta??? Also, line stunts DONT WORK when you set them in the play call screen. Lastly, weather and different kickoff times in Road to CFP games. Please and thank you. I'd ask for 4 min quarters, but there are more pressing issues with this game mode.Defensive playbooks don't match offline
I posted earlier that the FSU Road to CFP defensive playbook doesn't match it's offline version. Then I did a little digging and realized that EVERY school has this same generic defensive playbook, regardless of their native version offline. Umm...what??? I've gone from feeling like this was a simple oversight to realizing this was deliberately decided. So now it begs the question...for what? I don't ask this flippantly, I truly believe we the players deserve some sort of ack and explanation. Cause this is a bit wild.Line Stunt issues
Specifically in Road to CFP games, when you set them up in the play call screen, they're not carrying over to the play. Now, you were able to bypass this by going into your defensive line audibles and call them from there, but after the recent update it appears those are gone now. So basically, Road to CFP...doesn't have line stunts. Good job. 🤦🏿♂️ 2. You truly can NOT see the play art for different line stunts regardless. You darn near need a microscope to see the play art. Ummm...what??? How are we supposed to decide how to attack the blocking scheme if we can't even see how the line Stunt will react. (If it even works) Not tryna be funny, but FrFr...this is kinda silly.Onside Kicks
Let's discuss Onside Kicks... I had someone call an unexpected onside kick on me last night. No big deal, but I tried to call a timeout and nothing happened. I tried to call an audible, nothing. Then he kicked it to the far sideline and my player ran ahead and tried to block the defender instead of going for the ball. The kicking team recovered it. 😡 In the future, I hope EA will add audibles or timeouts so we can adjust if we make the mistake of picking our kick return too quickly.Stadium pulse, bad idea!!!
I want myself an the opponent to have equal opportunities to win in the same game. Stock plays don’t work vs good players especially those who spam blitz every play and use lsu or other top tier teams EA there were so many different avenues you all could’ve took to have stadium pulse and still be fairly competitive like visual effects- Ex: play art doesn’t show or hot routing to a post but play art if shown shows the incorrect route or on 3rd/4th and longs you cant audible. stadium pulse not that effective to players as you non playing ppl think hand and sign signals are a thing. look if stadium pulse was a way to make players hate cfb 26 after buying it just to make sure we buy madden it worked cause screw this non competitive gameRoad to CFP Progress Reset
I have 4 lifetime wins so far, which is enough to get to the "Freshman Division" and get the Next Level trophy. However, my progress reset in the middle of my games. Does anyone know what causes this?? At the moment, my W/L Record in the top-right corner says 0-2 but when I queue up a game, it displays my lifetime record of 4 - and forever. I'm not a competitive online multiplayer guy. I just want the trophy and to move on from this mode. Can EA help me with this bug?
