Co-Op Experience Issues

I know some of this has been brought up in other threads. But I wanted to share some issues we're having. We've been troubleshooting various factors for a few hours and it's frustrating.

Attempting to play co-op against CPU, Exhibition and Dynasty:

User logs in, opens Play Now or Dynasty file under his account.

On controller select screen User 2 logs in and joins User 1.

When the game starts, play calling is now controlled by User 2.

User 2 subsequently controls the QB on offense.

*in Dynasty, neither player is assigned to QB, which causes confusion and changes. And worse, neither User is assigned to kicker or punter, so CPU will instantly kick or punt without User control.

This occurred on XBox version of the game. We tried various factors, using custom playbooks vs default, signing User 2 in under his XBox account vs as a guest, various controller assignments.

Additional minor issue: User players locking on defense during hurry up offenses (we have the workaround of clicking L3 and R3).

Also, mentioned in other threads, player indicators being too hard to differentiate from one another. The inner circle glow isn't prominent enough.

Hopefully other people are having these same issues so EA can fix it, or there's some solution someone has that can help us. We play individually, but we like to play a co-op Dynasty together on weekends, we were on 14 for years, and this is really making it virtually unplayable.

Please EA, look into this.

  • Having this exact issue on CFB26. Did you ever find out the issue or a workaround?

  • @Darksim15 On Playstation here, we did a 2 player Coop offline dynasty and didn't encounter the first issue you described:

    "User logs in, opens Play Now or Dynasty file under his account.

    On controller select screen User 2 logs in and joins User 1.

    When the game starts, play calling is now controlled by User 2.

    User 2 subsequently controls the QB on offense.

    *in Dynasty, neither player is assigned to QB, which causes confusion and changes. And worse, neither User is assigned to kicker or punter, so CPU will instantly kick or punt without User control."


    100% agree with your other two points:
    - User players locking on defense during hurry up offenses (we have the workaround of clicking L3 and R3).
    - Also, mentioned in other threads, player indicators being too hard to differentiate from one another. The inner circle glow isn't prominent enough.
