So we can supposedly edit fake players that are on the roster before starting dynasty, but we cannot edit random recruits once dynasty starts. This makes no sense and you need to patch this and enable this option in the game.

EA, don't screw around. You have a great game. We know all about the NIL crap. But there is NO REASON why we can't make edits (including RATINGS) to incoming recruits in dynasty mode. I along with many others demand that this be put in the game, or you will have people demanding refunds and/or canceling EA Play. Your choice. 100% agree (CM: Posts shared in a row have been merged. Check out this post for tips on how to edit and add more to a post.)

I agree and it doesn't make any sense not to have this in game not to mention other issue with uniform selection. I feel this is the day customization died. I hope more people are up in Arms about this issue. If not they will remove other things.

@DANGERGOOSE1 The attributes are there to be edited, but they are greyed out. There is no way to edit the player at all from what I am seeing. If they are NIL fine, but if we get a recruit and want to edit their overall higher or lower we should be able to do that. Why is the feature in the game but we cannot use it at all, its like its there as a tease

@aenima6969 Agreed. Especially when the screen to set up the dynasty has an option for allowing ratings editing and the options are allow all users, commissioner only, or off. @8lr31kgu1q8f Seconded 100%. Unfortunately I saw the screenshot of dynasty setup options with commissioner option to enable ratings editing and bought the game and foolishly started it before waiting to see what people online were saying. That's on me but I'm still not happy. What exactly are the "ratings" that I'm supposed to be able to edit using that setting. I'm hoping enough people make threads on here and tweet to their account as well as the main devs that they patch it in like they did with Madden 25 (2014).

Hello everyone! I’m new here and I also agree with the fact that is very disappointing start to NCAA 25. I understand that they are trying to use the whole “ NIL” reasons of why they didn’t give us player editing… but first and foremost, most of players who are in the top 100 of the best players in college football are more than likely not even gonna be there after the first two seasons of dynasty as is…. That’s why being able to create our own recruits and have a chance to recruit them was such a enjoyed feature because it actually brought real immersion and a different type of satisfaction to be able to accomplish that. I still remember creating my own recruit and if I didn’t get him, I was more motivated to try again. It’s the joy of being to see and create different outcomes happen right in front of us when comes to this game that made ncaa 14 a revered game due to its Imaginative style and even allowing us to truly take control of the schools we wanted to take on. I personally have never made 99 overalls for my schools, if anything I’d do it for the schools I’d play against. That said, if I want to do so, it’s my choice because I’m the one who is on dynasty offline majority of the time and I also paid the money to do so. Dynasty becomes really stale after year 6 because now you only have the cpu generated recruits and a lot of them look like they should be worried about their families instead of actual high school recruits. And I’m offline more times than not, so I enjoyed the sandbox approach to the past ncaa games and being able to edit and play as I please. It’s what kept the game fresh and enjoyable to play. I just feel like it’s a major disservice to everyone who waited for 11 years for this game and for those who didn’t even get to see the game just for us to not even be able to create our own recruits and edit them. Plus, I’m a college athlete myself and the number one thing we all talk about is either” well, if I don’t get the right rating… then I’ll just do it myself” or “ I’m gonna put me and my family/ friends in the game and play/ play against them”… it’s a just one of the few topics we talk about when it comes to stuff like this and to see it missed like this is very disappointing.

@petro1319 The challenge is what you make it as a player. The real reason player editing is important is based on dynasty longetitivity and correction. When I see 3 and 4 QBs in recruiting classes with 95 speed I want to correct that, when i see multiple RBs with numbers in the 80s or WRs with numbers in the 90s or 70s or the fact that the base roster has some players at the same position with the same number (there are 2 WRs on South Carolina with #19) or I see a school with 6 QBs and 5 are true freshman and at least 2 could play another position; I would really like to be able to do that. In Madden I have the ability to change any players position, name, Ht, Wt, ratings, traits, development trait and even their appearance.

If the college players have been paid for their likeness what does it matter what I do with their ratings once I've paid for the game. Don't you think some of these same players would like the ability to make their virtual avatar a 99 and go to town against their rivals exactly how a random person wants to create themselves, without the guard rails of RTG and do the same in dynasty mode. What about the people who don't like the rating systems that sports game dev teams often use and want to create greater separation between teams?

I guess it's all to each their own. Personally I feel like I wasted money on a game I was really excited to see return and I'm ultimately let down with the product in its current state.

@btmnyj811 The reddit thread, this thread here and people voicing their opinions on Twitter is great. I hope something comes out of it.

I know some people have inquired about refunds, I don't know if I'm there. I willing to give them time to fix the things that are broken, however if it doesn't happen in a reasonable amount of time the game is useless to me and I probably won't be able to get a refund so I guess I'm just stuck with a product I'm dissatisfied with.

The most aggravating part is the silence from EA. It is blatant. At least tell us if it is in the works of getting corrected. This game has almost no replay ability without editing of non-nil players or recruits. Max XP on coaches is bad too.

I think no comment is the comment. I believe it was the 1st Madden 25 or Madden 14 that had the no editing player equipment or something like that and the community quickly revolted. They made a statement pretty quickly stating that they would be fixing it, at least I think they did. When sim stats are a mess in Madden (not that they still aren't to this day), they typically make a statement saying they're aware and working on it. For whatever reason this hasn't gotten the same response or attention. I don't think it's a concern for them.
Madden had a crippling bug for years where offline franchises would just crash after a certain amount of seasons. Ot took the community doing a bunch of testing to figure out what it was and this occurred in multiple releases. I want to be optimistic but I don't know that this will get fixed. If it does we might have already crowned a new National Champ by then.

One would hope so, but we’ll continue posting on here regardless

Has there been any news at all from EA about if they have non-NIL player editing (numbers/ratings) in the works?

There was something that wasn't put out by EA, but a third party, that they knew of the issue and would fix it at some point.

We should also be able to edit player abilities in offline dynasty. I don't understand why we're not allowed to edit players in offline game modes when it has no impact on anyone outside of our own homes. After five seasons all of the NIL players are gone, so it makes no sense to not be able to edit our new recruits.

Would you happen to have a link to that? Would be greatly appreciated!
