Game Crashing [Info Requested]
Hard crashes in menu and had it crash in play now right on the intro. This has happened since last College football 25, I am on an Xbox Series X. [CM - updating thread title and tags for clarity and visibility] update- issue still exists but what worked for me was trading in Xbox Series X I had gotten last year for an Xbox Series S haven’t had any crashes personally could be something with certain years of Manufacturer of Xbox Series X’s causing the crashes, my old console last year on CFB25 crashed even after the supposed fix, I hope this helps for people not getting any traction from EA, I know it’s not ideal but my faith in an actual fix is probably lower than 0%.RTG- Can’t regenerate health
i’m in my second season heading into the playoff and the game won’t allow me to spend any energy points on desperately needed health recovery. Tried starting game to “automatically apply points to health” but still started the game without any recovery applied. Currently heading into the semifinal looking like the glass bones guy from spongebob. I guess a tragic late season injury is part of my character arc?College 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!
Can’t Invite Dynasty Members
The game is glitched with dynasty invites. I can only invite one at a time (have to go out of the dynasty and come back EACH time) and it won't let me input gamertags almost at all. I may be able to get an invite through that I manually input the gamertags after 10 attempts. Anyone else having this issue? Also getting the screen that they have not connected to the game, but I’ve played against them in CFb26 already. 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️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.Custom Playbooks not showing certain formations and plays
There seems to be a serious issue in CFB 26 with some formations and plays not showing up with my custom created playbook when I go to use it in game. Sometimes only a few, out of all, the plays I’ve selected for a formation will show up, or entire formations will be missing from the playbook. I made sure I haven’t exceeded the allowed amount of formations, sets, plays in set or play count. Even when I go in and un-add then re-add certain plays they won’t show up. It’s gotten pretty frustrating when I’m trying to audible to a certain play or find one for a specific situation and it won’t show up when I know I’ve added it/set the audible for that play in the formation. In addition I can’t set my favorites because half of those plays won’t show up. I even went into my custom playbook and took out about 150 plays and 10 sets to see if over crowding the playbook was the issue and even with this, formations and plays wouldn’t show up. I’ve tried about everything possible at this point but it’s definitely a big issue affecting gameplay. Hopefully EA fixes this since it literally affects every play ran which is about 80-90% of gameplay. SimGuruRitzyEA_ElrynSooshiieDiscoTebowEA_WrenbrandedrespawnMaxisJoeNot letting me play
So on Xbox when cfb comes out for preorder those who don’t have it can do a 10 hour pre trial with ea play if they have it. So I pre ordered it and when I opened the game it told me about the trial. I said I wanted to play the full game but whenever I did that it always kicked me out of the server and kept bringing up the trial. It said I didn’t own it even tho I bought it and downloaded it. So I decided to just play the full trial and once I finished it kicked me out of the game and said I’m too early even tho I pre ordered it. When I opened the game it said play the full version or whatever and it just wouldn’t work. So I uninstalled and reinstalled and hopefully that works but if not then how do I fix this?Cannot download my TeamBuilder team: ERROR DOWNLOADING FILE TRY AGAIN LATER
I imported by 2025 team, spent hours making some updates, saved, submitted, but every time I search for it/preview or download, I get this error. Every time I go to my sharings and try to download it, I get this error. This is very frustrating, and I just really, really hope the only solution isn't to completely rebuild this team from scratch. Please help. Please. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER!!!Can't import Active Roster or TeamBuilder to Dynasty
This happened to me last year and it never was fixed. It's happening again in '26. I can't import active rosters to an online dynasty, or inport a TeamBuilder team to it. It just gives me an error that EA servers can't be reached. However, if I import active rosters to an offline dynasty it's almost instant. In addition to that, I can't use a TeamBuilder school for high school in road to glory. The status bar never fills and after several minutes it says server error. It's only every with an online dynasty or trying to import teambuilder teams. I've downloaded the teams, I can use them in Play Now, but that's literally it.CFB 26 RTG - Fix the Tape Score problem
Off to a rough start EA...RTG's tape score is god awfully bad and bugged. Showed 1000 point game and also moved up to four star. Once you go to next screen it shows below score of 4 stars. Points are not calculating properly but it is ruining the mode. Then again, I don't think anyone asked for this Tape Score crap. Why couldnt you just make the mode where you played high school games, get graded and receive official offers?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.For Those Experiencing Game Crashing...
...do you have a digital or physical copy? I've always bought physical copies, this is the first time I chose to download and I'm curious if users with physical copies of the game are having the same issues with the game crashing. I just uninstalled and reinstalled for the 5th(!) time...the game crashed on my first defensive possession. Not even 3 minutes into the first quarter (7 min quarters). I'm done.
