College Football 26 Wish List
I know I'm not the first or only one to make one of these but I wanted to go ahead and make one.
DYNASTY
- Add a Create A Conference feature. As a WVU fan myself I've always thought it kind of weird they are in the Big 12 ever since the Big East collapsed. I normally put them in the ACC because it makes more sense to me. But it would be nice to recreate the Big East.
- Add a Custom Recruit or Edit Recruit feature. I know you can do it now but only after they've been signed to your team.
- Add historical records for teams, conferences, awards, champions, etc. Also add audio for when records are broken.
- This may be hard to do but a feeder system feature would be cool. Something like the best non-power conference team gets to replace the worst power conference team every season.
- Make it easier to find a school's rivals.
- A more in depth Top Stories section. Include shocking upsets, injuries, and maybe an NFL tie-in. Not NFL stories per say but maybe something like a player decides he's going to stay for another year or a top player decides not to go to the NFL.
- Ability to set what time and weather a game is played at. I haven't played NCAA 14 for a long time but I remember a feature where you could select that location's current weather.
- Bring College Gameday to Dynasty. I know I'm not the only one that would love to see Pat McAfee and the crew in the game.
ROAD TO GLORY
- Personally, I would like it if when doing something on the Weekly Agenda it would only cost 1 action no matter what it was. I understand they want to make you balance everything like a collegiate athlete would but it's also a video game.
- MAKE THE UNDERSHIRT MATCH THE SLEEVES. I don't know why they didn't include this but it drives me insane when an undershirt is white but I have green sleeves or whatever.
- If you earn enough Coach Trust to become the starter and win the position battles, you shouldn't be sent back down the depth chart the next season if there are players with a higher overall than you. Maybe if they sign a transfer player better than you I can understand it. But if it's the same players you shouldn't have to redo all the position battles.
- Limit the school choices when picking a school. A feature I liked in NCAA 14 was you weren't able to pick whatever school you wanted to after your high school season, thus forcing you to choose between schools that were actually interested in you. Maybe they can make it to where based on what star rating you pick for yourself they can simulate some high school stats and make to where only 6-7 schools are interested in you when you go to sign with one.
- Bring back the dorm room background with team banners and your awards on a shelf.
- Add the ability to choose whatever position you want to play as. Personally for offense I like to play as a tight end and for defense I like to be an edge rusher.
- I think everyone who's played enough RTG can agree that we need to earn skill points faster. It's rough playing an entire season and only being able to go up maybe 2-3 overall at the most. Not saying we should be a maxed out 99 after one season but if I start as a 79 overall Freshman I think it would make sense if after one season I could be a 84-86 Sophomore. Especially on the defensive side as a CB. You can play a really good game at that position but because you hardly have any stats you don't get XP to get skill points.
GENERAL
- For teambuilder add a create a stadium feature. I like being able to create my field but I should also be able to make my own stadium. I don't want to have to go through and find a stadium with little to no branding when I make a custom school.
- FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY BRING BACK THE FIGHT SONGS. The drumline is cool and all but it gets very annoying after a while. Especially if you play Dynasty like I do and only play big games and spend the rest of your time recruiting. You already have audio files for every fight song so this shouldn't be too hard to do.
- Add custom facemasks to the game. Maybe not necessarily custom facemasks but just more of them. For instance, Schutt and Riddell seem to be making almost the exact same facemasks but just in their own style (ex. Schutt's EGOP III-NB-VC and Riddell's *-SF-2EG-HP) and it bothers me when I see a facemask I really like the look of but I can't wear it in-game. An example would be this year I'm noticing that a lot of players with Riddell Axiom helmets now have top bar facemasks. Also when you pick a helmet, make it to where only facemasks that fit that helmet will show in the list.
- Add a temperature feature so that I can only wear sleeves if it's below 40 degrees or something like that.
- Add in dangling mouthpieces or mouthpieces that are shoved into the bars of a facemask. Also make it to where as a player is walking off the field after a bad play they undo their chinstrap.
- Add another untucked jersey selection. Several players choose to wear their jersey in a way that only their backplate is showing. That should be on here as well.
CFB to Madden Player Export
- This is really only geared towards Road to Glory but I still wanted to include it. If I go though a 3-4 year long college career, get to 99 overall, max out my abilities, and win multiple awards and championships, why am I a 65 overall in Madden Superstar? I could understand getting knocked down to a 75-80 overall like most of the top rookies are when Madden comes out. But 65? Really?
