Hey football fans, The newest title update is now live for College Football 25! These patch notes are pretty meaty, so please take some time to check them out at the link below: College Football 25 - Title Update August 8th, 2024 Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to report issues here on the forums. We are still looking into some issues, and we will continue passing along your reports as they come in. We appreciate you playing College Football 25 and joining us here on Answers HQ!

The fact that you still cannot edit the ratings of fake computer generated players in dynasty is laughable. We should absolutely have the choice to do so, even if not everyone does it, we should still have the ability to do so in our own private dynasties that no one else will ever flipping know about. Jesus.

The fact that EA has had years to create a great game of football (nothing novel and no massive amount of creativity needed whatsoever) and created this mediocre at best product is ridiculous. The fact that they also created a new huge update and still miss the mark quite a bit shows how inept this company is.

"Pretty meaty"... just read through them. There are maybe two issues listed here that I had even heard about before this update. I am genuinely curious what goes in to deciding the priority workflow on these updates? NONE of the major complaints about this game are addresses or even acknowledged. Customer engagement malpractice.

There’s two noticeable glitches with this update for dynasty. Incoming freshman no longer show up for position changes at the end of the year. Scoreboard goes away in game. Do you guys actually test the update before it goes live ?

@EA_KentWith all due respect and I mean that, The point, Kent, is that these issues SHOULD have been tested before the game came out Its quite obvious that no testing or minimal testing was done in order to meet the deadline you set. This happens with every game EA puts out it seems. When someone pays $100 for a video game we expect it to work properly. We are aware there are some bugs here and there, but since everything went ONLINE, rather than offline releases, CD-Roms, Cartridges etc, down went the game quality when the games came out. Because why not just update it with patches! During my time at EA and speaking with many people when the office was in Maitland, we spoke a lot about how EA wanted to implement this model of release first and fix later. I questioned that as saying why would one want to do that? The answer was, well we have to put these games out every year, there isn't enough time. Well there was plenty of time to make this game. I think most people would have been happy to wait until next year for a PERFECT game. Since we are talking about NCAA Football 25 and not Madden or EA Sports FC here, examine all of the bug reports. Some are stupid and not pressing. Others are. I know that you looked at them and I know that your boss has it sitting in his inbox or with a Jira notification assuming EA still uses that, but is he really doing something about it? Or does there need to be another meeting after and another meeting on how quickly we can get this together. The real bugs, the ones people are saying are game breaking like Overtime not working for example, the game crashing or freezing during it. Simming Normal can create problems as well, there's no kick off in the second half and the team that had the ball at the end of the first half and was supposed to kick off has the ball where it left off! This ruins the game. All of this would have been noticed if the game was tested by someone who knows how to test the game. There was no Beta for us to play. I saw nothing around here in Orlando regarding hiring temporary testers to come in and play the game like you had done many many years ago with Madden. All of this would have been fixed if you had listened to what I said all those years ago on how to fix a lot of these problems. But apparently your execs know better than me. This is why people are pissed off... its like you do not care and a forum post is not going to solve the problems at hand. A semi finished game updated over the next 6 months to fix game breaking issues is not acceptable at all. There is no way that no one at EA knew about these issues. There is literally no way. I know how you guys work first hand.. The priority is Money, not customer satisfaction. The biggest release in recent memory.... what did you think was going to happen? A riot... well my friend, you got one. And no matter how much you pay bloggers and reviewers to review the game it give it rave reviews, the people have spoken. I like the game, but I'm afraid to play it because when it comes time to win an important game, Im worried the game is going to crash in OT, or something bizarre will occur at half time. Among other issues listed on here. Maybe tell us what the priorities are. What are you going to fix for the next update? More transparency would be nice for a change.Regards

I still can add the 4-2-5 to my custom playbook even if I make it the base for my defense

@lastrocks Yeah this was a huge whiff. The 4-2-5 is a defense that should have a number of defensive sets. In the game, the 4-2-5 is basically just the "Big Nickel" and it only has 2 sets. So basically you can't really play a 4-2-5.

Is the FCS fix the only thing that requires you restart your dynasty?
EDIT - Missed playbook updates don't feed in which I'm not concerned about.
Just making sure other gameplay/dynasty updates push into existing dynasties.

Exactly I don't know why it is that hard especially when you have it as a base package for a custom defense. I hope they address this during a server maintenance or something don't want to wait until another title update weeks away
