This will be long winded. I apologize. I play on PS5 and Im having issues with this game as well. Ive been waiting for 10 years to play and i am slowly losing interest in one of my favorite franchises all because EA and the Frostbite engine are the worst. They should have let 2K do a take on college football but they cant because EA has a monopoly on the sports gaming industry.

In CFB25 there are the classic new age madden bugs with gameplay. Players ignoring logic and wierd body glitches and the like. I love customization and changing things around to make things more interesting. And because of that i will often find myself navigating menus and trying to customize things as much as possible. When i do these things fairly quickly the game starts to glitch and/or shutdown. For example; In the offseason ill go to change the position of certain players and make a ton of moves, the game will crash if i take too long. Another issue ill face is that when i create custom concerences, ill take all the teams out of the independent conference and said independent conferenece will dissapear and the custom confernece menu screen will not show me the SunBelt conference but rather the SEC in thr sunbelt toggle option. I can still see the conferences in other portions of the game but the custom conferenece menus will no longer give me that independent section or sunbelt. Making it harder and impossible to create the custom conferneces i want because now certain schools will be blocked from me selecting them. Whenever i scroll through the different conferences it will not show any schools in the mid-american conference and every conference section to the right of that will be not be listed correctly. Mountain West shows up as the Middle American, Pac 12 will be the Mountain West, the SEC will be the Pac 12 and the sunbelt conference will be the SEC. But it stays true when you toggle from the ACC through the Conference USA. MidAmerican to Sunbelt is all messed up. It really ruins the fun and creativity of having the option for custom conferences in Dynasty mode and now i have to restart my Dynasty mode from scratch after so much progress. Why not have a create a conference option as well with the ability to select multiple schools at once to add to any conference you want instead of constant scrolling and selecting one school at a time out of 134 potential schools to realign? I feel like conference realignment was easier in the old NCAA football games. This game should have more room to add and delete or create your very own conferences without glitching the game so badly. Road to Glory mode havnt messed with to much but i wont be suprised if it does something similar. #fixthis #2kcoulddoitbetter #EAisruiningsportsgames #wemissthecreativity #ultimateteamisamoneygrab

Yes, there is a lot going on here... there appears to be three major bugs with custom conferences:

1. Like the OP says, once you eliminate a conference, the game doesn't know how to handle the renaming of the other conferences..... its like it's not detecting that you deleted the conference. Its not just independents, do this with any conference and it will break.
2. You cannot go below 12 team memebers and 2 divisions in a conference... once you do, you will never be able to add those divisions back. You can try editing the rules and adding the divisions back with 10 teams but it will not save the cchange and will revert back. You also cannot add an 11th team. You can try but nothing will hapeen and it will not save your change.... no error message.
3. Conference rules allow you to select up to 12 conference games but the game only allows you 9 locked conference games once cutom schedules stage starts. You then cannot make eny edits to your schedule because the rules for all of your conferences do not align with their locked schedules. Why allow us to do 12 in rules if the game only allows 9 in the custom schedule portion?

Please fix this ASAP for dynasty players!

Utah disappeared from my custom conference menu. Didn’t replace them with a teambuilder or anything. They were in the PAC-12 now I can’t do anything with them because they don’t show up. Basically have to put the conferences how you want them at the beginning of Dynasty or you won’t be able too at all

Yeah i have not played sense release week and i wont until many of the issues with game logic are fixed. It just makes me want to play ncaa14 and thats what ive been doing.
