EA Staff (Retired)Hey Everyone,
Thanks for reaching out to the community and sharing the issues you've run into so far with CF.
I wanted to give a quick update the team has just released a new Title Update patch.
Check out the patch notes in our post here, or on our ea.com site; TITLE UPDATE AUGUST 8TH, 2024
Cheers!
The new patch is garbage. Can't do spin move as a d lineman hardly any more. When I'm in control of a player on defense. It won't let move on the direction I want to. They will shuffle there feet in the opposite direction.. even if they are supposed to blitz. Players run right by them. Computer defense players, will make in realistic interceptions. My wife receivers drop the ball way more. Worst update of any game I've ever had..
This new update has made the game unfun. The CPU defense is unstoppable and unrealistic. I want challenging not frustrating when playing the game.
Congratulations EA! I know y'all are patting each other's backs after putting out an update that fixed essentially nothing, meanwhile you have rendered offline dynasty essentially unplayable until the next title update which isn't due for like 2.5 weeks. I bet that if you guys broke CUT, there would be a fix pushed out the next day. I had almost forgotten why I quit buying your games, now I remember exactly why.

@EA_IlliumUnfortunately, the patch made things worse and, from what I'm reading here and on reddit should have been "rolled back".
The patch may improve a few things for the Online side of things but it broke several key component of the offline gameplay/gamemodes.
Can you let us know when is scheduled the next title update is planned for offline users?
CFB25 is, and will be a huge commercial success for EA... Let's just hope the post-release issues won't drive gamers away from buying the 26 version... Speaking for myself, let's say that things aren't looking great for now....
Good luck getting a response. EA hasn’t released a single comment about a fix since last week. Offline is completely broken so my copy is nothing more than a paper weight right now.

@adb609d8676a4f70i was told by an ea employee, i assume somehow with a straight face, that an update would be in "48 hours".... this was thursday afternoon. they care so little about their customer base that they will willingly lie
I’ve twitted, called, emailed and chatted, and can’t get an answer. Screw EA, will definitely not buy another EA product. I’m going to file a complaint with the BBB so EA will be forced to acknowledge their failed product.
I have been calling for a roll back of the patch for days now. What would hurt if it was??? Why not roll it back and take the time to properly test the next one??? Instead we are told the next patch will be at the end of the month. We have to wait until than to play and hope that patch fixes the bugs introduced by the last patch and not add many more.
Whoever is making these illogical decisions at EA really needs to get their heads screwed on straight or get replaced. Knowing EA as I do I will be shocked if anything positive happens.
You guys ruined this game beyond belief with the new update I was playing daily now it's so frustrating unfair and unrealistic that I can't even finish a game without some major bs you took my money then shafted me weeks after buying your product and then you didn't even fix the real issues. I'm honestly confused on why I ever even buy another ea game because every single one you guys release is a buggy unfinished mess full of cash grav micro transactions honestly I would feel ashamed if I was this terrible at my job
the fact that the scoreboard bug has yet to be fixed speaks volumes on what ea really cares about.
All sports games have been bad. EA should be ashamed of themselves that they supposedly take the time to do all this due diligence on the authenticity of the stadium etc and the gameplay is absolute trash. I like most others was so excited for this game to come out. I’ve been waiting all these years and finally we got the news it was back. After a week of playing this game my mindset began to change on it and its weaknesses became evident. Simple things like tackling, blocking, constantly the middle of the field is open. Terrible glitches like trying to sack the QB and my player goes right through the QB. How about QB’s having super human strength and breaking multiple sacks/tackles that are no where close to even realistic. Better yet throwing deep balls and having the ball go over the DB’s head but somehow the ball is picked off. The last game I played today it became unplayable so I just turned it off.
I can almost just deal with all the other issues, but please fix the blocking. There is no reason a 96 rated guard gets beat in pass pro 3 times in a row by an 83 rated defensive tackle. The CPU QB can stand in the pocket for 10 seconds if I rush 3, but in reverse my QB has to run for his life within 2.5 seconds...AGAINST a 3-MAN RUSH. It doesn't matter who I'm playing. Doesn't matter if I call max protect. Doesn't matter if I double the best d-lineman. SOMEBODY is going to break through and chase my QB in record time. Again, it does not matter who I'm playing even sub 80 rated teams. Also, I've never seen QBs get completely blown up and leveled trying to run screen plays like I have in this game. All CPU d-linemen get these speed and power boosts every pass play. The pass blocking is clearly just broken. Also kick and punt return blocking is a complete joke.
Are you guys gonna add a create a player feature, or will pull the typical MONEY GRAB and make us wait until CFB26 ?
Still no create a player smh
Game still plays like trash. We actually need an update a week to fix all the stuff wrong in this game. I threw down, and broke another controller this afternoon.
I hate that i paid 99 dollars for this garbage.

@EA_IlliumI loved this game when it first came out, now the cpu defense just destroys me. I can’t run, I can’t pass, just getting dumped on. Such garbage!!
Same. Plus the cpu completes 90% of passes and converts 3rd and long 80% of the time. The game play keeps getting worse
Complete garbage! I just wanna play dynasty and road to glory, but the cpu defense is so ridiculous all I get is sacked or picked every play!! Dudes wide open you throw deep and the cpu outruns the ball to either get a pick or knock it down. Also every tackle the cpu makes is a big hit that makes you drop the pass, it’s so frustrating and stupid
I have the exact same problems. I've been playing Road to Dynasty and most plays are like this -- given 1 terrible option for a play, try it though, RB takes the worst route in the world and is immediately tackled. Try a different play, QB is sacked within 1 second. Try again, get a pass off to a wide open receiver only to watch two defenders run faster than the ball and break up the catch or intercept.
I know I'm new at this game and am not great, but this is beyond realistic. It's not like I'm playing with a bad team; I'm using one that's ranked and has high team stats.
