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.

Didn’t even realize that you can’t change recruits numbers when they sign with you as a true freshman. I have a QB that is locked in at #43 and can’t be changed. This is ridiculous…BUMP

It just completely ruins the immersion in dynasty mode, which is arguably the most important aspect of the mode. If I see a bunch of stuff that’s gonna take me out of the game, chances are I’m not gonna play the game. It’s been a few days now since I even touched the thing, and that sucks

unfortunately, dynasty mode got really old for me really fast. Without player customization, the entire thing just falls flat.

@btmnyj811 Not to mention the other major issues. Custom conferences, custom scheduling, polls and rankings, playoff seeding, sim stats, sim results and more.

This is EA we’re talking about here, you have to pick the thing that’s most important to you and drive the point home until it finally sticks. And even then, there’s a good chance nothing ever happens

@EA_Kent @EA_Shepard
Any update as to the dev team’s focus on this? Editing of ratings/abilities affects our replay ability and would be a stop gap for other issues that are currently wrong and presumably need a longer time for the dev team to fix (i.e. Sim stats affecting development of players, slider adjustments, overpowered lower tier teams).
This is one of the most commented threads on CFB forums. Input from the Devs / Project leads would be much appreciated.

it takes away from my Dynasty experience not being to edit the game generated players! WTH is wrong with this EA team. Why am I stuck with a LT wearing #17 and a receiver wearing #39. Cmon mannn! Fix this NOW EA.

This is a game killer for me. Haven't played the game outside of play now mode. I'm an offline player and I don't see the point of placing so many restrictions on my favorite game mode. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Let's keep this thread alive

It’s definitely not going anywhere anytime soon, I got way too excited for this game for them to just withhold a feature this important to the dynasty experience
