Dynasty Mode is unplayable due to lack of player editing and more


-Limited editing
The fact that we cannot fully edit fake Non NIL players has killed the mode. That we can’t even at least change numbers is game breaking. Imagine putting a lot of time into a dynasty and have your 5 star QB come in wearing number 27. And WRs wearing 99. How out of touch do you have to be with college football to not realize numbers are a big deal. At certain schools, certain numbers are important. The EA generated names are some of the worst imaginable. Last names like Chocolatey and Baadknews. Thankfully we can change that absurdness. 

-lack of night games 

Not having progressive lighting in the game is mind bending considering the technology of the current console. But it not being in the game is fine. At least fix it to where all games that start at 6-7pm or later are just played at night. In 4 seasons I’ve played only 2 night games. Multiple 630-730pm start times played in broad daylight. Even though in the fall it’s actually dark at those times. That’s crazy that the entire season takes place in the summer time I’m guessing. 

-Non conference rival games not rotating 

I think this can be fixed in Dynasty but not in Road to Glory. I played a RTG as Florida and had to play every year at Florida State. EA is aware of this and hasn’t fixed it. 

-multiple recruiting glitches 

-poor poll and an logic which was somewhat improved in the last update. 

Until these things are addressed this game is good for nothing but online and offline exhibition games. I have no use for dynasty mode. The inability to edit numbers is maddening.

  • I completely agree to the editing of fake players, non-NIL.

    I have 4 OL recruits who got assigned jerseys 1,2,10,&11.  I don’t even want to use them now, like no OL in history wore those numbers.  My WR randomly changed numbers and I can’t change it back.

    If we can’t change how a recruits face looks, to me that is not the end of the world, but I need to change numbers if the assigned ones are this absurd.

    I haven't personally seen any linemen wear odd numbers in a game during dynasty. I have seen two QB's wear #20 though.

    Ips5, online dynasty and I'm in year 2034. 

    Not saying it's not a problem, but I haven't seen it.

    I was directed to post my list of issues from the general discussion board to your post (I believe). These issues I’ve found have happened in all modes, not just dynasty. You can just add it to your list and maybe EA will at least consider doing something about it.


    “I’ve tried to compile a list of the issues I personally have had, that I know many others have had, with CFB 25. This is to consolidate my previous post and to add new issues I have found. Please hit the “Me Too” button if you’ve had these issues as well so maybe EA will at least see it. This is in no specific order of severity.


    1. Frequency and amount of interceptions by CPU
    2. CPU defenders have unrealistic abilities regardless of player rating (vertical jump, receiving, tackling, speed, etc)
    3. Offensive line consistently does not block. They won’t even pick up an assignment. Many times they’ll stand up and do nothing.
    4. Kick Meter goes nuts even at home.
    5. Kick meter “tap and tap” doesn’t save
    6. Roughing the kicker called frequently on punts, when it is not user controlled. Unable to prevent it.
    7. Max protect pre snap action creates holding penalties.
    8. Less than 2 seconds to throw the ball before getting sacked due to above issues, no matter what pass protection.
    9. CPU coverage is impenetrable no matter difficulty level.
    10. no coin toss. Nearly 99% of the time, I am forced to receive the kickoff.
    11. After challenging a play, you are unable to pause the game, and unable to watch instant replay to see if the ruling was still incorrect to obtain a screen grab of the issue.
    12. The game does not show the review as the booth is reviewing, whether it’s a challenge or official review.
    13. Blocking on kick returns is non existent. Either call a fair catch or get leveled after a 2-5 yard return. (Ex: Alabama is unable to return a punt vs Temple)
    14. Receivers (5 Star/highly rated) will drop easily catchable passes in traffic AND wide open. No rhyme or reason. They play as if they are a 40 OVR.
    15. There are no tutorials, either on new features or old ones that have been upgraded.
    16. opponents (no matter the caliber of the team) will run a no huddle/turbo offense for an entire game without fatigue. It’s unrealistic to expect an FCS team to run no huddle every play against a top 5 D1 team.
    17. when switching players to make a sack, or to achieve a user pick, or make a tackle in open field, player will switch to a player out of the action area, which can cause huge plays, broken coverage, etc.
    18. CPU speed is faster than user speed, even when user is using a player with 90+ speed and/or acceleration and CPU can be 10 points lower than user speed.


    this is not including cosmetic/graphic issues”

    I hate it when edit players on your team other players on your roster numbers change. This is crazy and they say u can't edit because of NIL, but player numbers change. We should be able to edit everything about a player with NIL but there name and sponsor equipment. You can't change their gear from Nike to Adidas anyway so I don't see why this is a problem.
