College Football NCAA25 is Broken

I have been playing EA College Football NCAA25 relentlessly over the last 2-3 weeks. As much as I'm happy college football is back in the video game space, it is sad to see that as you play more of the game, it just feels like an enhanced Madden reskin. Here are the noticeable issues and things that need to be fixed in updates ASAP, otherwise EA will continue to keep their reputation as a company that can care less about the customer base....see below:

- AI logic blocking, both pass protection and up field

- LB's and DB's not reacting to QBs scrambling until they are 5+ yards past the LOS

- CPU pass coverage prevents medium to long passes, if you try they are intercepted or nearly intercepted 95% of the time

- Play Action is impossible. Always leads to a CPU sack

- AI logic on pass catching and DEF zone coverage. Too many times the defenders don't flow toward traffic

- DEF man coverage just leads to streak 75 yard TDs for fast receivers 

- Defenders take terrible routes to ball carries as they blow by them to he never seen again

- Heavily animation based and not physics based (as claimed). I see the same animations on tackling and from my WRs. I can tell when the ball is going to be dropped based on the same animation they use to catch a ball 10,000 times by now.

- Commentating is getting repetitive quick and contradicts things they say only seconds away from one another

- Dynasty simulation logic is trash. Way too many huge upsets 

- Low tier Conference winners getting top 4 spots in CFP bracket with ease

- Glitch where I need to constantly reset my kicking to "Tap and Tap"

- I don't get frequent points to upgrade my staff or coach abilities

- No where to decide how to develop talents in my players, it's all just decided by CPU

This list can continue. Did you all even have the developers talk with players, coaches, or have people test this game for thousands of hours before releare? Probably not, only care about the money.

Please send out updates and fix all of these things. 

Thanks!

They need to stop gettin all these content creators play the game first but test all modes. I think EA only lets them play play now. They can’t touch dynasty or other modes outside play now and i feel this is why a lot of * is so glitched…..who actually tested dynasty mode???

But they wanna promote by streaming Shedeur and Travis playing the game. I don’t give two * about watching 2 men play a game. Should’ve took that time to finish testing.

Not to mention they have a good skeleton to work off of from Madden. Sure Madden has many issues itself, but between that and NCAA14, they weren't starting from scratch. 

They had plenty of time to have real gamers and fans try this game and provide results.

Recently I have had WRs start sprinting the wrong way right as I'm about to throw it to them, I've had CPU players of mine take horrific routes to tackle a player running with the ball, and I've seen the whistle blow while I'm mid run with the RB.

Soooooo many glitches and things that need fixed. Hopefully EA actually cares and comes out with a few updates over the next 2 weeks. 

I couldn't care less about updating the team and players ratings, give me solid gameplay updates.

The glitch in Dynasty where the kicking always resets back to Tap and Hold is quite annoying.

I agree, especially with the content creator comment. They are in ea's pocket. Shame, I actually believed them. I'm looking at you Boudreax

Hey Everyone, 

Thanks for reaching out to the community and sharing the issues you've run into so far with CF. 

I wanted to give a quick update the team has just released a new Title Update patch.

Check out the patch notes in our post here, or on our ea.com site; TITLE UPDATE AUGUST 8TH, 2024

Cheers!

The new patch is garbage. Can't do spin move as a d lineman hardly any more. When I'm in control of a player on defense. It won't let move on the direction I want to. They will shuffle there feet in the opposite direction.. even if they are supposed to blitz. Players run right by them. Computer defense players, will make in realistic interceptions. My wife receivers drop the ball way more. Worst update of any game I've ever had..

This new update has made the game unfun. The CPU defense is unstoppable and unrealistic. I want challenging not frustrating when playing the game. 

Congratulations EA! I know y'all are patting each other's backs after putting out an update that fixed essentially nothing, meanwhile you have rendered offline dynasty essentially unplayable until the next title update which isn't due for like 2.5 weeks. I bet that if you guys broke CUT, there would be a fix pushed out the next day. I had almost forgotten why I quit buying your games, now I remember exactly why. 

100% agree. They did something to the passing in the game. Since the update all my passes are short or short and low. Which as you can guess create INT's big time. I even had one play where my guy just threw it directly to the CB. I played two seasons in dynasty on Varsity before the update. Lost 1 game and won the natty in 2 seasons. Had a QB with 6000 yards a WR with 3000 yards and 35 TD's. I have been playing football games for 30 years. After the update I can't even score 20 points. My defense can't stop anything and I have lost 2 games in a row. I can't run the ball nearly as well and passing is broken. I'll read the D and have a guy open. My QB can't throw it to him though. It's like they played with the button sensitivity or something. Maybe I have to just get used to it but it's a totally different game now. Maybe I'll just take a break and wait for another few patches. Kind of disappointing though as I had been having a great time with the game until the update. Now it's like chewing glass.
