CFB 26 Dynasty - Crashes mid game
Hello all, I'm on Xbox Series X. Played CFB 25 with no issue. I've tried all the ''fixes'' posted on this forum to no avail. Pre-ordered CFB 26 and played the first season of my Dynasty with no issue whatsoever (Team builder) The crashes started to occur in the first game of my 2nd season. Restarted the game 5 times but couldn't finish... The crashes always happen after a turnover, during quarter breaks or in between plays (never during live game action). Brings me straight to the Xbox main menu. No internet connectivity issue. I read somewhere that certain people were able to stop crashing by skipping one game and moving on to the next... and that technique worked! ... for a little while... After skipping game 1 I was able to go through my 2nd full season without a single crash... until I got to the College Football Playoff. At Penn State in the snow... playing at Heisman difficulty with a small school... Big moment for the program... And then the crashes started to happen again... same thing during quarter breaks, after turnovers or touchdowns in between plays. It gets disheartening to restart every time... And I'm actually getting to the point where I'm thinking of skipping that game entirely and just move on to the next season and hope for the best... But how can that be the solution to this? I've seen a lot of similar reports on this forum with very little response from EA... even certain forum complaints being listed as ''resolved'' when all the EA dev posted was a list of questions with no actual solution. Seeing the sheer volume of similar complaints that have gone through, it seems pretty clear that the issue is not on our end. I'm hoping we will get an update or fix soon... Prior to these issues, this has easily been one of the best sports games I've played... But now I'm starting to doubt whether a fix will ever be put in place. I have not seen these problems being publicly recognized by EA and no timetable has been put forward. I recognized how complicated fixing such an issue can be... I'm just hoping EA hears us. Thanks y'all.CFB 26 crashes my console
EA this is absolutely tragic! I played CFB 25 and my game would crash half way through a game. Had my hopes up with CFB 26 and I have the same problem; my console crashes. We all pay $70+ and this is a constant issue. Very frustrating!! I love this game but it keeps crashing my Xbox. No other game does this, why…just why?!? It is embarrassing as a franchise that this is an issue. Please fix this or tell us how to prevent it. (Xbox S Series user)
Lot of people want Class Action Well ..
Starting a class action lawsuit — especially against a massive corporation like EA — is no small task, but it can be done if you have legitimate legal grounds. Here’s a no-BS breakdown of what’s needed and what you’re up against: 1. Legal Grounds (The “Why”) You need a clear legal claim. For EA and NCAA 26, potential claims could include: Breach of Warranty – they sold a product that doesn’t work as advertised. Fraud or Misrepresentation – if you can prove they knew it was broken and sold it anyway. Unfair or Deceptive Business Practices – many state consumer protection laws cover this. Violation of consumer protection statutes – like California’s Unfair Competition Law (EA is based in California). 2. Lead Plaintiff(s) You need at least one or a few people (like yourself) willing to serve as lead plaintiffs — basically the face of the lawsuit. This includes: Showing proof of purchase Describing the damages (time lost, game crashes, unplayable features, etc.) Willingness to be involved in the process (even minimally) 3. A Lawyer or Law Firm That Handles Class Actions You must have a class-action attorney. Find a firm that specializes in: Consumer protection Class action lawsuits Tech or gaming industry (bonus) Most offer free consultations and don’t charge unless they win (contingency-based). 4. Commonality (The “Class” Part) Your issue has to be widespread. You’re not suing for your own personal problem — you're representing a class of people affected in the same way. You’ll need: Forum threads Reddit posts Screenshots EA support responses Any mention from EA acknowledging the issue This helps prove it’s not just you, but potentially thousands of players. 5. Certification Before it becomes a full-blown class action, a court must certify the class, which requires: Enough people affected Similarity of the complaints Lead plaintiffs who fairly represent the class That a class action is the best legal route (rather than 10,000+ individual suits) This part is a legal hurdle, and where a lot of class actions die if not backed by a solid legal team. 6. Damages (The “What You Want”) You need to outline what the lawsuit is trying to get: Refunds Punitive damages (if fraud or deception is proven) Injunctions (forcing EA to fix the issue or stop selling it) Realistically, this often ends in a settlement where affected players get like $10-$50 — unless the case is egregious. 7. Filing the Suit If all the above is in place, the attorney will file the lawsuit in either: Federal court (most common for class actions, especially if it's across states) Or state court (if it’s based on a state law)TeamBuilder Proximity to Home
Same as last year... Teambuilder school still carries over the location of the replaced school. Recruiting is a fairly crucial aspect of college football and "proximity to home" is related to replaced school. The game still doesn't actually recognize your created school. Yes, you can set pipelines of the school now and the coach, but it's not changing the core problem of the game not acknowledging it's a different school. Not a big deal if you don't mind replacing a school from the same area, but not everyone wants to do that. I don't. This worked two generations ago.Custom Playbooks Not Working
When creating a custom playbook, the "Coach Suggestions" section in-game always present the same pool of plays, regardless of your star ratings/selections in the "My Gameplan" section in the custom playbook menu. Obviously, spending lots of time on creating a custom playbook with unique ratings for the coach suggestions, and then for it not to work is quite frustrating. Let me know if I can provide any more details! I've tried raising and lowering the adjustments, even going as far as having several plays at "100" or "5 stars" and the same 15 plays appear for each situation (1st down, 2 & long, etc.).,Input lag and blocking AI
I've been having alot of issues when I'm the ball carrier or a defender when I use the right stick to make pass rush move or a juke my player just doesn't react. It's extremely frustrating as a defender when you try to get off a block and you can't. Also this is the worst blocking I've ever seen in a football game. I've lost count at how many times my blockers run right past the defenderGAME CRASHES OVER AND OVER AGAIN
this is the 3rd day in a row I can’t play a single game in dynasty on Playstation 5 without the game crashing .. Everything is updated on the game and system and it still crashes every single time .. i spent way to much money on the early release just for me to be able to play for 2 weeks and now I can’t do anything i’m so frustrated i was curious if anyone else keeps having these issues even with last years game and wanted to take legal action against EA sports, something drastic needs to happen, I can’t even get a refund for this game they need to be held accountable by law this timeWe just want a realistic timeline for crashing fix
Please give a realistic timeline for when the game crashing during every game is going to be fixed for console. Both Xbox and PS5 (tons of people) are reporting it. We know you’re gathering data. We want to know if a patch is coming today/tomorrow, etc. Everything worked fine until your first update. Just revert the patch. The game is literally 100% unplayable. Not unplayable from a “fun” point of view, but like it literally does NOT WORK at all. Please provide more detailed update on where we are in process.Game is still crashing
Last years game ( CF25 ) was doing the exact same thing CF26 is doing. It would crash to the dashboard every game. CF25 was fixed for me with a update. Probably around 2 weeks after it came out I think. It has never crashed again, I can start CF25 up right now and play for hours and hours and will not crash one time. WHATEVER WAS DONE TO CF25 LAST YEARS NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CF26 THIS YEAR. You fixed the same problem last year. What is taking so long to do it this year. This is crazy. Fix the crashing. Do what you all did last year, can't be that much different. i'm on xbox x series. I'm NOT playing online. Its happening in single player games. No other game I own crashes to the dashboard. None. Just CF26.This game has so much potential, but EA needs to fix it asap
not only is it crashing in dynasty but now also RTG which makes it completely unplayable. I have never seen a game so bad to where I cannot even load into an offline rtg game without it crashing. Yet we have 0 idea when it will be fixed. I will never pay for an EA game again if this is the new standard. Is there a solution coming?Game stuck on super sim
I’ve had this issue for a few days now. On my dynasty, I like to recruit and do all the other off the field stuff, and watch the games with slow super sim. Before the game, when the marching band plays, it gets stuck on the marching band sometimes, and I can’t press any buttons to get past it. I can see the band marching but it doesn’t stop. I have to shut the entire console down for it to reset. This has happened multiple times. There’s also been 2 different occasions where the same thing has happened. Before an extra point the game got stuck, and I could not press any buttons to get it unfrozen. I could see the fans moving, but it wouldn’t unfreeze until I shut down the console and had to play the game again. And this has happened before OT too. After the coin toss I could see the players wandering around , but it went on forever and there was nothing I could do about it. Please fix this EA, I’m begging you.“Concrete wall” in the middle of the field disrupting gameplay
Playing as Colorado St in my online dynasty vs BYU at home and this continues to happen for this specific game. I have never seen this happen before. I tried to change jersey colors and restart the game multiple times to see if the issue was fixed, and it’s still happening. The game is unplayable because you can’t see half the field due to this obstruction. The CPU offense throws to players on the other side of the “wall” and you have no idea where the ball is going due to the obstruction in the middle of the field. I am playing on PS5.
