What is your gamertag/PSN ID? BuckeyeHolland7
Date/time issue occurred September 16th 2024 around 1:30 AM EST
What type of issue do you have? Crash/Freeze
Which mode has this happened in? Dynasty
Summarize your bug In a tie game, I got a false start with 9 seconds left. It triggered a 10 second run-off and sent the game to overtime. The view of the "coin toss" had a weird angle, after the coin toss the screen never changed. I watched for 20 minutes as both teams stood there clapping and pointing to the crowd. No button provided any feedback. Restarting my console allowed me to quick resume and get to the pause menu of the game but still couldn't resume play.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a tie game end with a 10 second runoff.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game is stuck after the "coin toss" and teams picking sides to defend in OT.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the game resume for the start of overtime.

The photo shows the view I had during and after the coin toss, where players clapped and jumped and pointed the whole time.

  • Ran into this last night.  The game went into overtime. For the coin toss it shows this view, and after the coin toss the game never resumed.  30 minutes of just watching each team stand there and hyping up the crowd from this exact camera angle.

    Pressed every button, restarted my console and it would quick resume to the pause screen, but still not resume play.

    I experienced a similar issue last night, but under slightly different circumstances, also without the option to resume the game in progress.

    Summarize your bug I played Ohio State in my dynasty. Good back and forth game. They're up 35-28 and I get the ball back with 1:45 left. I drive down and score with 30 seconds left, they don't get much so the game goes to OT. Herbstreit explains the rules, I'm away so I pick heads and win the toss and pick defend, OSU picks the wind direction. Game then freezes showing just the field with only crowd noise playing.

    Holding A does nothing, hitting start does nothing. Game just wouldn't respond. I know Madden saves after every play so if you force close application on Xbox, you load the game back up and continue the autosave of your franchise, and it puts you in the middle of the game, sometimes a play behind. I tried that but evidently CFB 25 doesn't have that feature or the glitch screws with the autosave, because it just loads to the dynasty screen with the game unplayed.
    How often does the bug occur? Not sure. This is the first OT game I've played in a while, but this is the first time I've experienced the glitch. I think I played an OT game a few weeks ago but I don't remember for certain. Based on other people I've talked to it happens sometimes but not every time and has existed since launch.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a dynasty game go into OT. Do it enough times and you'll eventually see the glitch
    What happens when the bug occurs? Game freezes with a view of the field and requires force closing the game.

    What do you expect to see? I expect the game to continue into the overtime period. Or in the very least I expect to be able to resume the game where I left off by resuming the dynasty autosave file like in Madden.
