Coach Suggestion Playbooks Show the Same Plays
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.).,Got the game and it’s forcing me to change my password then is “offline”
As the title states, I can’t actually log in online to get rewards and progress the game. I’m clearly connected to the internet seeing as I just downloaded it from said internet. It also keeps telling me to change my password when I log in (which I did). Help or I’m refunding the game.
College Football 26: Missing content
These issues are on PS5 console – College Football 26: EA Sports model is “EA Sports, it’s in the game.” So, why do we have so many missing items from the College Football 26 title. Here are a few items that are missing from the College football 26 title that can help the College Football sports title if added and drastically boosts sales: Have a real pregame show that’s uses an EA Table (similar to ESPN) that reflects the top 25 college football matchups. In the background of this EA table, you should have the College/University background that reflects the game of the week. For example, if Ohio State is playing at Michigan, Michigan University campus and fans should be in the background behind the EA Table screaming and cheering for their team as the announcers make their picks for the week. Have the announcers discuss which teams are favored in their matchups with odds, announcers pick for game winners (with mascot head for featured game that week), and discusses key matchups for top 25 teams. This should be an authentic experience and should last for 8-10 minutes. (Allow users to skip this feature). Next, At Halftime interview both coaches going to the locker room and what adjustments need to be made. Next, have a real in-depth halftime show the shows scores and highlight videos from around college football. The highlight videos should be similar to that of ESPN NFL 2K5 Halftime show. But just make it EA Sports College Football halftime show. In addition to this, show score and highlights from current game with videos. After halftime interview both coaches running back to the field discussing in-game adjustments. Also, throughout the entire college football game, there should be a ticker at the bottom of the screen next to the new EA Sports score bug that reflects all college football scores and updates around college football. When a big upset is brewing on the ticker the sports announcers should address it. Next, have a real post-game show that interviews the winning coach and the stars of the game on the football field. After this, interview the losing coach and the stars that did not perform on the field at the press conference where they are sitting at an EA press conference table discussing the miscues and what went wrong in the game. Next, have additional/multiple broadcast teams. Gus Johnson & Joe Klatt For noon Kickoffs (Fox’s Sports). Brad Nessley & Gary Danielson for 3:30pm Kickoffs (CBS Sports). Joe Tessitore & Sean McDonough (ABC/ESPN Sports). Along with the current announcers already in the game. Have sideline reporters (Holly Rowe & Laura Rutledge) on both team sidelines with interviews prior to the game, prior to halftime, after halftime, and after the game and throughout the game with injury updates.College Football 26: FIU Panthers Missing Uniforms
These issues are on PS5 console – College Football 26: I have patiently waited for 2 years to play with my Alma Mater FIU Panthers in their “Special Edition Black Miami Vice Uniforms” and for some odd reason EA sports has not added these uniforms in the 2025 or 2026 editions of the college football video game or is refusing to add these uniforms despite how many request tickets I put in to address this issue. FIU Panthers wore these “Special Edition Black Miami Vice Uniforms” in the 2023 and 2024 football seasons. EA Sports has a model of saying “EA Sports it’s in the game,” (but it's really not"). What I find troubling the most is that EA Sports continues to ignore the small college schools to simply focus on the larger programs when it comes to making updates. This is not fair to other college programs. EA Sports has updated many college football uniforms in the previous 2 titles which includes updating college football 26 team uniforms before the season has even started but yet they continue to ignore FIU Panthers uniform updates. How is this fair to the students and alma mater of the FIU Panthers community. It's not! If EA Sports continues to ignore my alma mater FIU Panthers with regarded updates, I will have no choice but to refrain from buying future titles of this game. Below I have attached photos of these in-game uniform combination. Please see attachments.I am being locked out of everything on UT as it never finishes the last game….

Play Count and sets count not working in custom playbook builder
When I try to make a new custom playbook the play count isn’t the same as the plays that are in the playbook resulting in issues when I try to add new plays. When I try to add a new plays to a formation it says they are added but when I switch formations and come back some of the plays that I have added get removed with the play count staying at the same number. I only had this formation and it says I had 37 plays when I only have 6. It also says I have 6 sets when I have only 1. Also, I figured out the play count is over by 31 plays (I tried removing all formations except one and when I did the count there always was 31 plays more in the play count than the real number of plays left.Transfer Portal leaves too many unsigned players
I lowered my max transfers per team to 14 and still had a ton of unsigned 3 and 4 star transfer players, including Avery Johnson fresh off a CFP run. the issue is that every AI controlled team loads their board fully with players that are two stars who they never offer. fixing that background logic could go a long way. Also if the AI were more logical, Iowa State could have replaced Rocco who they lost in the portal with Avery Johnson etc.My team is not fielding 11 players on offense or defense
After year 2 of dynasty mode on Xbox, my team doesn’t field 11 players in all formations on offense or defense. WR’s, RB’s, or LB’s are missing or a Punter will be positioned where the RB should be. This is unplayable. What is going on? Will it be fixed? It already crashes every other time I’m mid-game, so this has been a really poor experience.Desyncs a Huge Problem in Online Dynasty
EA, my 17 team dynasty has experienced 6 user games end in a desync in our first season. We are currently in week 9. Please tell me there’s a team out there working on this issue because it really is ruining the experience for all users involved. They all seem to be occurring with under a minute in the 3rd quarter. We all put a lot of work into customizing playbooks to ensure we are building the best possible team, so telling everyone to just use standard playbooks is not a reasonable solution. Also, if this is going to be a continued interruption can something at least be made to return the game back to the point of interruption? In Madden if you are playing the CPU it can return the game back to where you were, so I know this technology at least partially exists. Even if it’s allowing the commissioner to customize the start point. Something needs to be done. You are ruining a great product with the inability to play it.Defensive stunts not working
I’m playing on PS5 and when I play offline I can use defensive stunts with no issue. However, in dynasty and play a friend online the stunts do not work from the play select screen. I can add one at the line but the stunts are limited to 4 options and half the line. Is anyone else having this issue and can we get this fixed.Online Dynasty Disappears
I have 2 dynasties that I am the owner of, I played just fine this morning. I logged back in this evening and both dynasties I own do not show up for me. the dynasty that I’m not the owner of shows up just fine. the dynasties still exist because other people are in them and can see them, even shows me in the dynasty (of course because I’m the owner). How do I get my dynasties to show back up? This is ridiculous.Online Dynasty Game Crashing Constantly
I have tried to play 4 games of an online dynasty in college football this weekend. Every single one has crashed. I get to the second or third quarter and then it crashes. My internet connection is good. No other games give me issues. I've cleared the cache. What a waste.An Open Letter, re: NCAA Football 26
Dear EA, I'm writing this after my 35th+ attempt to complete a single game in NCAA Football 26. I've tried everything - different teams, game modes, saved files - and yet, every single time, the game crashes during gameplay. I am one of THOUSANDS experiencing this issue. For me, the pattern is consistent: the crash always occurs during a deadball situation - timeouts, between quarters, or after a play ends. Not once has it crashed mid-play. One time I was able to get deep into the third quarter, but I had to simulate the rest of the game just to avoid another crash. I’m convinced if I hadn’t simmed, it would’ve crashed again. In Year 2 of my offline Dynasty, after 19 attempts, I'm finally 1-0. 15 attempts later, and I'm still 1-0 because I cannot get through my second game of the season. Year 1 went completely smooth. During the offseason, I brought in 25 high school players and 10 transfers. As an invested fan of the game, I spent hours changing the names and gear of every single high school commit (I never touch attributes). Gameplay outside of the on-field experience has been solid, with no major issues. However, the core of the game is PLAYING THE GAME! And it's clear the gameplay is broken and no one is communicating any solution on how to fix it. Let me be very clear: I bought this game to play it, not sim my way through seasons. Right now, I physically cannot finish a game. EA_Kent and any other EA representatives: You owe the community a direct response. This is a widespread issue. I see others reporting it. And still - it's radio silence. It’s disrespectful to the loyal fans who waited over a decade for this franchise to return, to those of us who pre-ordered it before the 2026 release, and to those of us who spend their hard earned money on a product that they cannot enjoy. This matter deserves regular updates! This matter deserves information! This matter deserves an apology! And I even believe this matter deserves some type of compensation (gamer points, a discount towards a future purchase, something). Trust is broken with one of the most passionate fanbases in sports gaming and the lack of information and is incredibly frustrating. I'm not asking for the impossible. I'm asking for transparency, accountability, and a timeline for fixes. Acknowledge the issue. Communicate your progress. And please-don’t gaslight our community by pretending this isn’t a real and repeated problem. We paid full price for this game. At a minimum, we deserve the ability to play it. EA, fix this. And talk to us. -A Fed Up Fan.Continous Crashing During Gameplay

I hate what has happened to this game. The computer has entirely too much control over the outcome of the play. I rarely play against human opponents so im not talking about ultimate team. There wasn't an ultimate team when this game and madden were good. The game looked wonky at times but played way smoother than this. Im tired of juking an Ai defender just for them to still tackle me as if the juked animation never happened. Im tired of the computer deciding if im going to get a first down or not no matter what I do. Defensive lineman with 70 speed or catching my rbs with 94 speed. I've moved sliders and everything I can think of (and Ai can think of) to make this work. I cant understand how an fcs linebacker with a rating of 64 can completely dominate against a pulling guard with 97 impact blocking. Heisman and All American dont truly make the game more complicated, it seems that the ai is allowed to react unrealistic. Defenders that dont have quick jump are using it just to stop a play. This is completely unacceptable. The team at fc 26 at least tried to show they fixed their issues at a technical level. I just dont understand why you guys refuse to do so.
