CFB 26 Server issues kicking you out of your dynasty games
I’ve been continuously losing connection to the servers on a lan cable and it made me lose 3 games progress three times in a row kicking my out of my dynasty making me restart the whole game all over again this issue happens all the time and it’s ridiculous EA you need to fix your server problem cause at this point it’s disappointing cause all new EA games have this issue starting from 2021 till now all of them have had server issues I’ve spent a lot of money on EA products and all have been below even the average standards when it comes to server problems and them being fixed4Views0likes0CommentsRoad to The CFP 27: Suggestions.
Thanks for bringing back College Football video games! Here are some ideas! 1. "The Tailgate" (Social Lobbies) Bring back Online Lobbies, but rebrand them as "The Tailgate." * The Vibe: A place for players to gather, chat, and challenge each other. The Banter: College football is built on rivalries and talk. Having a space to find opponents and discuss the week’s real-life games while waiting for a match would add a massive layer of community engagement. 2. Advanced Player Cards & Sportsmanship Ratings In NCAA 11, we had player cards that told you exactly who you were playing. Let’s modernize this for CFB 27 to help curb "toxic" playstyles and reward "sim" players. Sportsmanship Grade: Track things like DNF (Did Not Finish) percentage, frequency of going for it on 4th & long in the 1st quarter, and "Running up the Score" tendencies. Skill Profile: Display Win/Loss record, Favorite Team, and Skill Level. Pre-Game Intel: Display these cards during the loading/matchup screen. While we see pass/run tendencies now, seeing a "Sportsmanship: C-" or a "DNF: 30%" tells me exactly what kind of game I’m in for. 3. Enhanced Results History Currently, it’s hard to track your "rivals" or keep a pulse on your history. Username Visibility: Please ensure the Opponent Username is clearly displayed next to every result in the Recent Games history. 4. Home Field Advantage (HFA) Tweaks The Stadium Pulse/HFA is a great feature, but it needs a realism tweak to reflect how modern teams actually communicate. The Reality: Most plays are now fed in via sideline signals or the Coach-to-QB headset. Even in a deafening stadium, the QB usually knows the primary play call. The Fix: While HFA should still create a "rattled" environment, it shouldn't make the base play-art disappear entirely or be completely wrong. HFA should focus more on affecting player composure, timing, and execution rather than the QB simply forgetting the play sent in from the sideline. Closing Thought: These changes would move the online experience from a simple matchmaking queue to a living, breathing community.15Views0likes0CommentsCollege 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!3.7KViews10likes11CommentsWins/losses not progressing in H2H events and chime draft event
I can’t progress past one win or loss in the national honors h2h, the different honors school solo seasons and the chime draft event. I’ll get credit for first game and after the st it just overwrites my progress the next game no matter if it’s win or loss. Talk to support and they told me it’s a syncing issue and I have to post here to get the devs to fix it. I’m sure that will happen in the next 4 days before they remove the events.20Views0likes1CommentHow do I even open a support claim with EA?
This is so stupid how I keep getting the worst chatbot ever created that asks me the same three questions over and over again but I’m not finding any way to open a case with a simple click of the button. What are the directions to open a freaking case?83Views0likes6Commentscfb 26 pre snap bug where u can’t move or do anything
In Dynasty, RTG, Play Now, etc., for about a week now I’ve had this weird issue where I can’t hike the ball or do anything after picking a play. I get stuck in the pre-snap menu and can only view matchups and other pre-snap options, but the play never starts. It happens on offense and defense. I’ve tried changing settings, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, using hot routes, audibles, and different buttons, but nothing has fixed it. Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else.9Views0likes0CommentsA beginner's guide to Road to CFP
What's up newbies? I wanted to take a minute to give you some tips on the road to college football playoff mode in College Football 26 Many of you just got the game for Christmas and are finding it frustrating. Trust me when I say you are not alone. After playing both College Football 25 and 26 exclusively in this mode, I figured a couple of tips to help you get started to reach your goal, which is winning in national championship in this mode. 1.Road to CFP is hard. Sorry to disappoint you, but it's just a fact. Winning a Natty is much harder this year than it was last year. 2. Before you even get started playing this mode, practice. Practice with the team you want to use in a national championship game. Some guys like to use multiple teams throughout the season and then run to their favorite tier one team once they reach the playoffs. Others want to take one team and grind through an entire season. Either way, it's fine. Just make sure you practice with a team you want to win a natty with on heisman level. 3. When practicing, take some time to understand your team. your players, their strengths and their witnesses. This will save you much frustration as you grind through this mode. 4. Once you're confident, you're ready to play a few games. Just know this, the first four games in your season are a set up. Those four games matchmaking seems to give you someone that you should win against, even if you have a lower tier team play again say Alabama, Georgia or Ohio State. In my opinion, this is EA way of one, allowing guys to win the minimum number of games to either stay in that division or get promoted or 2 keep you at an even when lost record. Just know...the storm is coming. 5. Once you get past games 4, all hell breaks loose. This is when the toughest match making seems to kicks in and you'd up against more quality players. Games 4,5,6 and seven are hard. I would suggest once you're comfortable use any tier for games 1 through 4 and then for games 4,5,6,7, and 8, be more selective and pick your tiers sleection. Example select tier 2 3,4 or tier 5 when seaching for a opponent. It will take you some time to find games in those teirs, but be patient. You'll have much more fun this way versus banging your head against Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, Florida, or Indiana during these games. I've had season that a play Miami 4 times in the first 6 games. 6. Once you have grinded games 3 - 7 and you are in a comfortable position to make the CFP continue to be very selective on the teams you play. The reason I say this is because if you are lucky enough to make the CFP don't expect to see any mid to lower rank teams. In the three games of the playoffs you will probably only play against Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama , Texas , and you will probably have to beat any of those teams multiple times. I have literally had playoffs in which I had to play ohio state three games in a row. Last year, we saw so many different teams in the playoffs, now we only see maybe 4-6 different teams. 7. Once you make it to the CFP , just know the games in the college football playoffs are slower, meaning that your players actually run slower than they normally would doing the regular season. Certain routes, you may have to wait a tick longer for them to develop. This is why practice is important. 8. If at any time, you find yourself down ten or fourteen points in the game, be patient, don't back out and quit the game. EA thinks they are slick but if someone jumps mo out to a quick lead the logic shifts and the losing team becomes almost unstoppable. You can ask around but unless a miracle happens if someone is up 10-0 or 14-0, I'd bet my lifesaving that within 5 plays the losing team will score. 9. The 4th quarter is pure madness. Again EA thinks they are smart, but in the fourth quarter all kinds of craziness will happen(especially in a tight game). I've seen 28-35 points scored in the 4th quarter alone in the CFP. EA is creating manufactured drama to try to make the game feel more exciting but we all see it and know its trash. If WE were creating the excitement vs the logic of the game dictating it, this would be different. 10. Lastly, when you need to, just put the controller down walk away. Like I said, winning a Natty is crazy hard now. Even the top player have said so. This game/mode is rage inducing and well...sucks compared to what we had in 25. Sorry but just being honest. Try to have fun if you decide to play. I hope the above helps someone. Oh and cover 4 shaded down helps against crossing routes ✌️795Views2likes7CommentsAll Time Teams/National Champion Teams with Coach Selections or Correct Coach
Now look I know we aren’t getting this in CFB 27, but maybe in CFB 28? I’m a fan of the NBA2K All Time teams and I think they’re pretty cool, but I know that it’s hard to do 130+ teams but I would like something like that in the game. I want others opinions on this too could there maybe be National Champion teams with correct-ish playbooks for the year that team one the National Championship. For instance say you want to use the National Champion team from a 70s Oklahoma Team you could run an Option Playbook or a 2019 LSU and you can run Coach O’s playbook. Stuff like this makes a game more interesting to me because you can settle what teams really were better than others to your friends. This would also expand playbooks even more which I’m a huge fan of more plays and formations. What’s everyone else’s thoughts on this?7Views0likes0CommentsEA play glitch on college football 26
I recently downloaded college football 26 off of ea play on the Xbox store but every-time I go to load into the game it says college football on ea play has expired but when I go to the store it says it’s still on ea play and any other platform I check to see if it’s still available on ea play it says it is and the message pops up every single time I exit a practice or a game and I can bypass it to play by entering the store then immediately exiting but other than that it’s very annoying and it takes the enjoyment out of the game if yall at EA could get on this problem and fix it I would really appreciate it cause if not I will be deleting the game I’ve also reported on Xbox too but nothing has been resolved178Views2likes3CommentsUnnecessary punts
When doing slow sim CPU vs CPU, when one team is ahead and takes a knee, instead of running out the clock the CPU will run an unnecessary play as well as leaving time behind and punting the ball when they could have just ran out the clock to the the game. It's like the CPU is giving one last for the losing team to win unnecessarily.6Views0likes0CommentsSo sick of this…
EA you guys better be working to improve this game DAILY. I’m so sick of trying to play RTG as a player on defense and have an offense that has a 94 rating not be able to put up more than 10 points/game. I’m tired of the wonky mechanics of being in position to make a play only to have some weird “glitch” where I press Y to play the ball and my player doesn’t react. I’m tired of running away from a blocker only to have my player engage and turn his back to the play. I’m tired of the way the camera moves that I can’t adjust bc I have my stick pointed and then the camera rotates and now it’s in a different direction. You can’t just charge $90-100+ and have bs like this. It makes the experience so disappointing. Just let us go back to playing a high school season - get rid of teammate grade and go to individual. Why would I be sat in a game where I have multiple interceptions and tackles all bc my teammates give up plays? It doesn’t make sense. A major patch needs to be implemented to get rid of this trash. The “moments” were an interesting idea but how am I supposed to complete a moment without the opportunity to achieve the objectives? NCAA 14 was such a good blueprint to build off. but seriously a 94 offense can’t score more than 10 points per game when facing teams that are 79 overall? What a joke.243Views5likes2Comments
