Offline progression should not be monetized
The decision to add monetized progression pressure to Road to Glory is one of the most anti-consumer choices EA could have made with this mode. Road to Glory is not Ultimate Team. It is not an online competitive mode. It is not a card-collecting mode built around spending. It is supposed to be a single-player career experience where players create a character, build them through gameplay, and enjoy their own offline story. Taking that kind of mode and designing progression around paid boosts or paywalled advancement completely undermines the entire point of Road to Glory. This feels like EA looked at one of the few remaining places where players could simply enjoy the game they already paid for and decided it still was not enough. Instead of improving depth, presentation, immersion, teammate logic, coaching logic, practice variety, or the actual quality of the career mode experience, the priority appears to be finding a way to squeeze more money out of players who already bought the game. That is what makes this so frustrating. Players have asked for more meaningful single-player features for years. We want better stories, better progression, better customization, better AI, better presentation, and more control over how we play. Instead, we are getting monetization creeping into offline modes. This is not a small issue. This is a clear signal that EA is willing to sacrifice the integrity of single-player modes if there is another dollar to chase. Road to Glory should be balanced around gameplay, player choice, and fun. It should not be balanced around frustration, time-gating, or pushing players toward additional purchases. EA needs to remove monetized progression pressure from Road to Glory and recommit to making this mode a real single-player football career experience, not another revenue funnel.1.5KViews27likes190Comments“Cap Breakers needed” bug RTG

Platform: PC (EA Play Pro) Hardware: Ryzen 9 7900X, RTX 4090 32GB RAM Windows 11 Pro 25H2 The Ultimate Team Head 2 Head competitive submenu consistently crashes to desktop before it finishes loading. The crash occurs every time and prevents access to Ranked Seasons and the other competitive H2H playlists. Steps to Reproduce Launch College Football 27. Enter Ultimate Team. Select Head 2 Head from the Ultimate Team home screen. The game immediately crashes to desktop with no in-game error. Expected Result The Head 2 Head submenu should open normally and display the competitive playlists. Actual Result The game exits to desktop before the submenu loads. Working Modes: Dynasty, Road to the College Football Playoff, Ultimate Team Home, Ultimate Team Play a Friend, Ultimate Team Events Only the Competitive Head 2 Head submenu crashes. Timeline The issue started immediately after attempting to unlock Showdown Chemistry on the Myles Graham Ultimate Team card. The server returned an error, the unlock failed, and the 50 Skill Points were refunded. Every subsequent attempt to unlock Showdown Chemistry also fails and refunds the Skill Points. I cannot confirm the two issues are related, but the crash began immediately afterward. Troubleshooting Already Completed Reinstalled College Football 27 Reinstalled the EA App Reinstalled EA AntiCheat Cleared EA App cache Verified game files Removed Myles Graham from lineup Created a brand-new lineup Confirmed Play a Friend and Events work normally Confirmed Road to the College Football Playoff works normally None of these steps resolved the issue.

On PC through EA App - I can get my game to launch fine but any input motion from my controller on the main menu just continues to bring up the EA black flag cutscene and then nothing happens, just on repeat. It seems to be stemming from controller input as when I use my mouse it doesn't do it, but my mouse pointer is not visible and also let's be real it's nearly impossible to do anything on this game with mouse and key. If anyone has a possible solution to get the game to work properly with controller please help. I've tried both a SCUF Omega controller and PS5 DualSense Edge.708Views0likes73CommentsDepth Chart Bug - LEDGE4/REDGE4
I have done 3 EDGE playthroughs. Ended as 4 star once, 5 star twice in Heisman. Each time, I chose a school as a projected starter. Every time, I ended as a LEDGE 4, despite being the top EDGE overall and with coach trust higher than the other players. Also, I never got a position battle, so was last on the depth chart the entire freshman season. [Title edit for searchability - CM]3.6KViews30likes72CommentsConsole shutting down during bowl week 1

completed the following challenges properly, but they’re not tracking: Demarcus Ware (completed, but tackles track 5 tackles in challenge instead of 3 like the mission says) Drew Bledsoe (2nd challenge) Richard Sherman (when I scored a TD, it counted as points scored against me and lost the challenge)275Views4likes50CommentsRoad to CFP Defensive Playbooks Unlock Incorrect Playbook
Teams such as OSU, Oklahoma and UCLA use the 425 man pressure defensive playbook. However, in the objectives screen for those teams their playbook is listed as 425. I won 18 games with Oklahoma solely to get the 425 man pressure book just to get the 425 instead. It appears the correct new defensive books are not properly linked.

I'm really excited to play this game, but I've been having some issues. I finally have some free time, but it keeps showing the same message. Hopefully, I can fix it soon! College Football Playoff! Here is the error message I am receiving: Our servers cannot process your request at this time. Please try again later1.5KViews1like42CommentsCFB 27 TEAM BUILDER PRESEASON UPDATE FAILED
Right now as I type this message, I am looking at a TV screen that says, UPDATE FAILED. Update of your Team Builder Team failed, please try again later. We'll, I tried again later, 9 hours later and the same message popped up. I am entering the second season of my dynasty with my Teambuilder Team. This is the second year I have encountered some sort of problem with Teambuilder. EA what is going on with you all??? I have taken my time throughout the course of several days, to design my own university/college football team, stadium, logos, and uniforms. Some of us have paid a lot of money for this game. For you all to give a product with so many bugs and technical difficulties is egregious. I've been playing EA College Football since Bill Walsh College Football 93 on Sega Genesis. Now here we are 33 years later, when technology is the most advanced, and we can't have a proper Preseason update to Teambuilder. You all need to listen to the community and fix these issues/problems before you launch these games. Push the dates back to mid July again, just to make sure, problems/issues are ironed out. All the new uniforms, in-game adjustments, & weather are GREAT. However, what good this that to the Teambuilder dynasty community if we can't play our second season due to an update failure??? This is sad and unbearable.1.5KViews11likes40CommentsStandouts Diamond In The Rough Challenge IV
