TeamBuilder Stuck in Restricted Builder Tier – Need Backend Review
Hello My NCAA Football 26 TeamBuilder account is stuck in the Restricted Builder tier. May I please have this reviewed by someone with access to account entitlements? On the TeamBuilder site, my created team only shows: Preview Edit Delete I do NOT have access to: Publish Visibility Team Details Import Roster Duplicate Because of this, I cannot publish my team, and it never appears in NCAA 26 for Dynasty Mode. I've verified that all of my roster information meets the requirments such as the number of players in each position and the team, as well as no dual numbers on the same side of the offense or defense, and the team will not load to the game. This appears to be a backend entitlement assignment problem, where my account was placed in the Restricted Builder tier instead of the Full Builder tier. I am requesting that an EA Community Manager or staff member escalate this to the appropriate internal team to: 1. Verify my TeamBuilder tier 2. Reset/reassign my account to the Full TeamBuilder tier 3. Confirm that my account can publish teams and make them available for Dynasty download I have attached a screenshot showing the restricted interface. Any assistance from EA staff who can forward this to the correct internal team would be appreciated. Xbox Series S USER ID Showdawg89 Thank you :-)1View0likes0CommentsEA PLAY and Trial issue

From other posts I have read I have done the following: -uninstalled and reinstalled. Restarting. I am unable to un link my EA account. There is no "upgrade options". Please help!13Views0likes0CommentsCfb 26 ultimate team error

I was playing this game three days ago then all of a sudden I can’t log back in the ultimate team. I don’t know what the problem is so I don’t even know what I gotta do to fix it please fix this situation because I’m losing daily progression.16Views0likes0CommentsCollege 27 and beyond
Ok so I replied to a previous discussion talking about some potential gameplay and dynasty features that should be added. Now I want to expand on how to make future college games even better: it all comes down to these main topics: gameplay, presentation/equipment, and immersion/customization. I think EA devs really do care about making a good game, but we need them to improve on these. gameplay: respectfully, gameplay in EA football simulator games (Madden and CFB) is just not as great as it could be. Maybe trying a new engine instead of the frostbite engine would help. Gameplay needs to be more realistic for those who choose to play simulation style games. Pass protection is one thing that is severely lacking right now and offensive line play is not great. Please make offensive line play more realistic and allow players to make even more adjustments to pass protection. Receiver play is also very strange to me. They do a terrible job of stacking defenders and going up to make catches. Aggressive catches that should be 50/50 are more like 10/90 if even that. I’m not saying the receiver always has to come down with contested passes but the contested specialist archetype is kind of pointless right now because they won’t catch it anyways. Defensively, some upgrades are much needed for more realistic defensive play. Defenders need to be better in zone coverage and need to travel with receivers near their zones instead of just leaving them wide open because they’re not in a small zone bubble. These are just a few improvements that need to happen for gameplay. I could think of a few more such as the “no eyes no picks” feature needing improvements to make it so qbs don’t throw 5 interceptions a game when trying to layer a football in between zones. There is more but I need to start talking about other aspects as well. presentation/equipment: presentation is really important for the game because it adds needed depth to the game that makes it fun. First, it’s time to start using AI commentary. Commentary in the game is pretty dry and gets old after a few play throughs. There are content creators who have made demos of what it would be like if there were AI announcers and it is awesome. There’s so much energy and creativity with every line and it doesn’t dry out. Additionally, we need pregame shows like college gameday where other games could be previewed and expert picks are made. I also believe we need a playoff selection show and awards ceremony where the finalists for awards can go and receive their awards when they win in real time. Equipment is also very important because the players in current games just don’t look real at all and the style looks bad. We need more equipment options and improvements to equipment models. There are guys on media who have made amazing images of what equipment could look like and it would make the game look so much better. Along with equipment, player builds needs to be better. Every player looks like 30 year old men with unrealistic hair styles and body types. We need customization for non nil players that are similar to 2K where we can edit all the face details like hair, eyes, mouth, facial hair, etc. we need to also be able to customize body types similar to how Madden 20 worked where you could edit arm size, chest size, belly size, rear size, thigh size, and calf size. Please bring this back and expand on it a little bit to make every player feel different. Immersion/customization: Our dynast/RTG is our world so we need full customization (for non nil situations of course) to play the game how we want to. Let us choose the weather we want to play in. Let us edit everything about the non nil players, let us add conferences, allow us to add team builder teams without replacing real teams. Add commitment flips that we can turn on or off depending on how we want to play. Add a feature for offline dynasty to force commitments for players who want absolutely stacked teams. Allow us to override players who lock us out because of deal breakers. Allow us to make custom playoffs for people who want 4 team playoffs back or maybe they want a full NCAA tournament. Maybe they want 8 teams or 16-20 teams. Maybe they want to change playoff criteria and they should be allowed to. Bring in a social media tab where we can keep up with all the news going around. Make coaching carousel better and allow players to mass exodus and follow their coach. Add spring games and off season features to make the off season feel alive rather than a bunch of buttons being mashed. Add position coaches. Make a ring of honor for all legendary players so they don’t just disappear and never mean anything again. Allow us to import non nil players to Madden, allow us to save highlights and have player highlights saved to a highlight tape in the ring of honor so we can go back and watch legendary moments from out favorite players. There are so many things that can be added to make the game dynamic and stop it from drying out. This is our dynasty, our road to glory. We should be able to play the game how we want to play it. If any devs are reading this, thank you for your time and I’m rooting for y’all going forward, but we need more from y’all to warrant us paying $70 every year, respectfully. You guys have the technology to do these things and you guys have my full support if you are actively trying to do them. As long as you guys are trying I will continue to support these games. Thank you.39Views0likes0CommentsDeluxe Edition not giving Bonus Coach Points
My cousin and I upgraded to the Deluxe Edition this weekend after seeing it on sale. We have yet to receive our 100 Coach Bonus Points. Why is this taking so long EA? Are you even listening to your players or is this just a money grab again?14Views0likes0CommentsDynasty
So I played Dynasty for the first time last night. The only thing I had played up to this point was RTG. I play in the closest thing you have to first person point of view. I want the feeling of being on the field. In Dynasty and I looked for this POV and was disappointed when I couldn't find it. I will never play Dynasty again until you add this POV.8Views0likes0CommentsUpdates
To Whom It May Concern at EA Sports, I'm writing to tell you exactly how disappointed I am in what you've done to College Football. I started playing NCAA Football in 2014. The year after that, you stopped making it because of the legal mess around player likeness and players not getting paid for the use of their names and faces. Fair enough. I waited. Like a lot of fans, I was genuinely excited when the series came back. I returned in 2025. The game is nowhere near what it used to be. The gameplay is garbage. The updates, when you actually bother to release them, are trash. I bought College Football 26 hoping it would be better. It was worse. Now you keep pushing out more updates, while the people who actually paid for this game sit there hoping each patch will fix the problems that are genuinely frustrating to deal with, and instead the gameplay gets worse with every one of them. When I first bought this, I didn't think it could get worse than what it already was. I was wrong. Since July of 2025, I have watched this game decline with every single update. I want to be clear about something. I'm a welder. If I put out work at this level of quality and didn't fix it, I would be out of a job very quickly. My customers would go somewhere else, and they'd be right to. I don't get to ship a bad weld, ignore the complaints, and then ship an even worse one the next week while still collecting a paycheck. That's not how real work functions. You should be ashamed of the product you've put out. You have a monopoly on college football video games, and you're using that position to sell a broken product to loyal fans who waited a decade for the series to come back. They deserve better than this, and so do I. Fix it. Or at minimum, stop making it worse. Sincerely A concerned customer. If the next game is as bad as this one, I think you will be losing more customers than you gain. Oh, and I think you should turn back the hands of time and put the game back to the way it was in July of 2025. Just saying.20Views0likes0CommentsCollege football 26 bug
I have ultimate on xbox and own CF26, every time i open the game it says EA PLAY TRIAL This Trial can only be played on the account that downloaded it. Please sign back into that account and restart the game to continue your progress. I have tried restarting my entire console, re-download the game, and sign out and back in. Nothing works and now I can't play a game I own.164Views4likes0CommentsWould love this for cfb 27
I would love to have the ability to create prospects from scratch in dynasty mode. I don't know why this isn't a feature already. Also is it too much to ask to be able to import draft classes to Madden?? I understand there are licensing limitations, but make it happen already! Would be the best way to guarantee you got my money on both titles every single year.10Views0likes0CommentsCan’t play college football says I ran out of trial time
