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.).,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)Constant Crashing on College Football 26 PS5
For the last 5 days, I can’t play a game during dynasty. It crashes when the game starts and anywhere in between the end of the game. This is really really frustrating and making me not want to play the game. I do enjoy the game but this needs to be fixed. I tried all the troubleshooting such as clearing the cache and restoring data and that still didn’t work. If anyone has any extra ideas, I’m all ears but this is a real pain to try to playTeambuilder - facemask bug
Transferred team over from 25 and everything went smoothly. On import none of my chrome facemasks came through. They were the right color but no chrome. Went back into teambuilder, edited them back to normal, saved and redid with chrome. Still nothing, none of my other teams imported with chrome facemasks are working either. Really taking some luster off some uniformsCollege football 26 issues
I would like to start by saying I am very pissed at this game. I wanted it to be everything ea marketed it as but it’s just not. There were some quality of life improvements and some graphic improvements but that’s where the positives of this game stops. The gameplay is extremely buggy and feels extremely numb. The CPU difficulty is OP and broken to say the least. You can have the best roster playing against the worst team in the country and still loose because the cpu is just that good at knowing everything you are doing and knows perfectly how to stop it. Blocking, tackling, and playing any sort of defense is garbage. Great offensive lineman are getting beat by sub par defensive ends to get straight to the running back/quarterback on nearly every play which is just really unrealistic. Tackling and playing the pass is so numb it makes me want to quit playing the game. The short version is that ea’s frostbite gameplay engine they used in this game need to be thrown out and replaced with something that actually works. Content creators get flawless gameplay while normal people get a really crappy game. I have been playing this game for about 3 to 4 days now and it has left me pissed beyond belief. Currently I have been experiencing a lot of gameplay crashes where I will be trying to kick a field goal and as soon as I initiate the kick nothing happens except the whole team just starts attacking each other and bugs out to where I have to restart the game. All in all very very disappointed in the game and pissed that ea has taken about 10 steps backwards in a game that was supposed to be so much better than last year. EA please do better!GAME 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 timeTeambuilder Dynasty crashing
When my first Teambuilder Dynasty kept crashing in Week 1 of the second season, I thought it was an issue with that dynasty being prior to the most recent patch updates. However, after grinding through another season (in a new dynasty) and getting excited about my team yet again, my game crashes right before I can celebrate a huge top 10 road win. “Maybe it’s a one off” I thought. Nope the game crashes over and over again. Now I’m left waiting for hopefully an update that will allow me to continue my Teambuilder dynasty instead of playing a cruel version of “Edge of tomorrow” repeating the same game only to never see the end of it. please help EA, Many thanks.
Team Builder Fixes
Please update the following issues with Team Builder: Imported logos that look fine in the teambuilder site appear compressed and repeated in-game. (This one is well-known, just including it here to build a comprehensive list.) A suggested work-around is to open the particular graphics using the built-in Adobe Express and make any kind of edit and re-save. This works, but requires the user to submit the team, recognize the graphics errors, go back to teambuilder, edit the graphics using the method above, re-submit the team, check again to see if it was resolved. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Super frustrating. The front bumper image import on helmet designs is ALWAYS off-center to the right (see attached). This problem existed in the 25 team builder, as well. Can't believe that hasn't already been corrected. Also, why is there no up/down and X/Y adjustment options for the front and back bumpers? Would be nice to be able to duplicate graphics on both jersey shoulders and on the hips of pants, rather than having to pay attention to the X/Y and up/down settings on one side to match. When duplicating primary helmet graphics, they do not line up symmetrically on both sides of the helmet. Typically, the one that duplicates on the left side of the helmet is positioned closer to the front than the original. This usually requires the need for two custom layers (one for each side). When using an imported team in-game, the splash screens feature a scrolling hashtag related to whichever team the user replaced. So my created Bulldogs, have a hashtag that says '#feartheturtle' when I replace Maryland in the Big 10.Crashing constantly on ps5, contacted EA and no fix
Has anyone else’s cfb 26 been crashing multiple times when you try and play the game, it just freezes and continues after all the troubleshooting and everything. This happened a lot for me near the end of cfb 25 and now has continued into 26 and EA have given me no answers when I contacted them, there’s nothing we can do is what they said, at what point do you think customer satisfaction is a priority
Crashing on PS5
The farthest I got was one drive before I punted before it froze. It freezes every single time I try to play the game even in the menu to pick the teams. This is beyond ridiculous. Most of the time I can't even get one play in before it freezes. It's unplayable. Can we get a refund? Any talk of a patch to fix this?Defensive RTG Teammate Grade Bug
Teammate grade evaporates rendering all defensive RTGs unplayable, the weighted scores for each action seem way off balance and good/great defense rewards don’t seem to be firing 100%. You can barely play RTG after one bad TEAM defensive game, a grade of F means you will be on the bench for 95% of each game going forward. Please fix so we can actually play the game. Missing out on massive progression opportunities, feels like I’ve wasted my pre order skill point bonus b/c I can’t see the field.Coach Suggestions Not Working After Rating Plays on Custom Playbooks
This is occurring on every mode, or every mode I tried including Dynasty, Play Now, & Online Head to Head. My hope is that this is a first patch fix because folks are putting in hours and hours working on rating plays in custom playbooks only for it to have no positive effect during play calling. On '25, I made a custom book and rated every play for every situation(1st down, 2nd and short, 2 minute offense, etc) The result was... When using Coach Suggestions, it worked perfectly giving me an array of plays for each situation. Even if I had a bunch of plays rated for one situation and some higher than others, it did a great job of mixing them up, like it was algorithmic based or something. Whatever it was, EA knocked that feature out of the park, it was fantastic. I did the same thing on '26, and took my custom book into multiple games in multiple modes, and it appears to be just suggesting the same exact plays every time, based on the highest rated plays. Can we get this resolved?
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)
