Main-menu difficulty level changes dynasty difficulty level.
Issue has been present since launch. I think this is an old bug that Madden has already squashed: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Madden-NFL-23/Difficulty-in-game-options-overriding-difficulty-in-all/m-p/11859880#M16646
Behavior:
- Create a new dynasty, set the difficulty to Freshman, Varsity or All-American.
- Exit the dynasty and set your difficulty in the main menu (outside of Dynasty) to Heisman.
- Close the game on the PS5
- Open the game, load your dynasty.
- Your difficulty in Dynasty is now Heisman 😢
This can be reproduced every time in offline Dynasty.
- Online dynasty is affected but not with the same steps, it seems to happen randomly or maybe post-patch.
Solution: When a difficulty, sliders or other settings are made in Dynasty they need to stick. Dynasty should be treated as a container, separate and isolated from the main menu's settings.
For example, if my main menu difficulty is All-American, my kid should be able to create a dynasty on Freshman difficulty and have it stay that difficulty.

- Close the dynasty,
- Set your main menu difficulty to something else, All-American for example:
- Exit CFB25 on the PS5.
- Open CFB25 again, load your dynasty:
- Your Dynasty difficulty now matches your main-menu difficulty.
