Why is there no create a player
All i ever wanted to do is create players or edit rosters and then play a dynasty wit them to export them to madden like the good old days. What the heck we need create a player at a minimum shoot yo...

@ReddHeadd221 Dunno if its factual, but the answer I have seen most about this question is that they removed it due to NIL deals. The lawsuit that shut down the NCAA Football series centered around players not being reimbursed for their likenesses. The argument goes that if they had create a player in College Football 25 would be circumventing any player that chose to opt out of the NIL.
@chirop1 This is 100% correct. The legalities surrounding this are a lot more complicated than many know as well. A lot of people on here are trying to make it surface level and say "but it makes no sense, EA just fix it!" It isn't that simple, and so far, none of the 'lawyers' that are hitting up this message board are providing any solutions. Shocking...
However, it doesn’t make sense to me (a non-lawyer) how we can create a player in one mode (RTG) but not another (dynasty). How would the legalities change based on the type of mode you’re playing?
And, there have been licensed sports games that allow you to create players and edit rosters for many years now. Madden releases with these features every single year. Why is Madden able to include this customization but CF cannot?
If there truly is a reason, that’s fine. But many people are simply asking to know if this will/could be patched. I know that it would take time to implement, but it would be nice to just know if there’s a possibility and if they have any intentions of adding it at some point.
My best guess as to the reason you can't do it in dynasty but can in RTG is simply volume (a single player vs the possibility of many players). But again, this is a guess as I am not a lawyer, but as I have mentioned before in other posts, if people don't think that EA hasn't thought about this or attempted to come up with a solution pre-launch, then that is very shortsighted. There are two different questions here - why isn't it in the game, and can it be patched. I would have to imagine that the answer to the second question is absolutely yes, it could be patched, IF there were ever a solution to the legal issues surrounding.
And the reason they are able to do it for Madden is EA has an agreement with the NFLPA which represents all players - there is no such organization for NCAA football players. Each school has jurisdiction over their own decision to be represented in the game (there were talks a year ago that Notre Dame hadn't even decided to be in the game), as does each player. This is similar to why Bill Belichick has never been in Madden, because he has never signed off on it - there is representative group for coaches like there are for players, thus each are responsible for granting their own rights.
