Persistent Position Reset Bug in RTG Mode of EA Sports College Football 25

Issue:
I'm experiencing a frustrating bug in the RTG (Road to Glory) game mode of EA Sports College Football 25. Despite successfully completing position battles for a starting spot, my position is reset, preventing me from playing.

Details:

East Carolina University:
- Chose the Underdog path.
- Simulated most games as a bench player.
- Transferred to James Madison University after the first season.
James Madison University:
- Earned HB1 through practice and position battles.
- Broke records and named best running back in college football.
- Despite accomplishments, I was reset to HB3 at the season's end.
- Transferred to Mississippi State.
Mississippi State:
- Earned a starting position (HB1) by the 3rd or 4th game.
- Minimal playtime until becoming a starter, then broke records.
- Reset to HB4 before a crucial game against Ole Miss in week 12.
- Simulated the game (which we lost), earned HB3 the next week.
- No playtime in the SEC championship against Georgia, resulting in a loss.
- Minimal playtime in college playoffs despite winning HB1 position battles.
- Ended the season with 1,400 rushing yards but offered a bench role.
- Transferred again as a Junior, with limited interest from schools.
UNC Chapel Hill:
- Joined as a 3rd string running back.
- Worked up to HB1 after 3 position battles and 4 weeks.
- Reset to HB4 immediately after winning the HB1 battle before the next game.

Impact:

The random resetting of my position has significantly reduced playtime and enjoyment.
The bug persists despite accomplishments, coaching points, practices, and game performances.

Question:
Has anyone else experienced this bug? This issue has made the RTG mode unenjoyable, and I’m curious if there’s a solution or workaround. I am likely going to avoid this mode until this is fixed since I am only waisting the few seasons I have left in this career.

I have had a similar experience with my wife receiver for usc. I was the #1 receiver at the end of my freshman year with all American selection but sophomore season was pushed all the way back to #5 receiver. I think the RTG was done sloppy by developers to get people to play dynasty where EA makes there money. Not a care about players who want to just play career mode for fun

Same Problem as a HB. My Coach Trust is off the chart and about every 4-5th game I dont get any playtime and am back to HB3 and it takes a couple weeks of position battles to regain the starter tag.

I had a similar experience. Received minimal playing time my freshman season (RB for Nebraska) Started to get slightly better but only recicved a slight bump in carried attempts. Despite all this broke all records and even won the Heinemann. Team was playing in the Rose Bowl and did not receive any play time the second half despite having a strong game in the first half resulting in us losing a close game. Sophomore season started and I was RB3 and had to have 3 battles to get back to RB1. Despite reclaiming RB1 I still receive 5 carries a game where the RB2 and RB3 receive more than be despite being less successful than I am.

@old_khakis Same issue. Worked my 3-star rb up from rb3 at bowling green to rb1 at UNC. I got to finally play 1 game as the starter (won and rushed for 110 yds), and now I’m rb4 the next week with a position battle to be rb3, despite having 20,000 higher coach trust than any other RB. Waste of several days of play.

Same issue as well. Started as an underdog walk on to Oregon and had to work up from WR6 to WR1. Got dropped back to WR6 when the playoffs started. Coach trust miles ahead of WR2. Gonna have to hang the game up until it's fixed.

@old_khakis I just led northwestern being an underdog to the cfb playoffs, got all excited and got hit with the betrayal of them making me a third string, there’s no way I can win now and I can’t believe EA would ever let something like that be in there game, I feel betrayed and I ask for 200 million dollars for the damages EA has done 😡

Same issue here. I took the underdog path at Notre Dame as a QB and worked my way to QB1. In my Sophomore (RS) year we lost the 1st game, but when I took QB1 in game 2 we went undefeated and won the Natty. The reset to QB3 at the beginning of my Junior (RS) year didn't make sense, but I dealt with it. We lost game 1 when I was still waiting to get the position battle prompt, won game 2, and then I got QB1 for game 3. We're now 5-1 and they randomly reset me to QB3 right before a game against #4 ranked Boston College. We're ranked 3 and I don't want to leave it to chance that the game will simulate a win. This makes this game mode nearly unplayable.
