No window after plays when playing couch co-op

I love the game first of all! Thank you!! So excited for another college football game. When playing single player everything works great, except a few marching bad issues. However my issue is when playing against someone co-op "couch co-op" as soon as you finish a play it goes straight to choose a play. No cool mini screen window like in single player and not even a visual behind the plays after chosen unless your the home team. So away team picks and just sits there on a black screen. So if you make a great play no replays at all you have to pause the game and watch it yourself which is very dumb.

This is very frustrating for I like to play dynasty and play as every team and love to play more realistic but I tackle a player than BOOM like right away goes to a black screen with plays. Only every once in a while does it show like a replay for an interception. But even on change of possession don't even see the teams running out and a bit cool commentary information about the game just goes straight to choosing the play. 

I thought this might be the case for the game but it doesn't do this in single players. PLEASE add that window or make the UI smaller for plays really takes the enjoyment of college football away and just choose a play run it then right back to the plays. I really wanna enjoy the beautiful world of NCAA 25 with friends and family not just run the play and that's it.

All other games you can see the crowd feel the moment, but not in co-op couch.  I also like to play dynasty mode and play offence only and choose all teams just to see who will win and makes for an actually enjoyment for me for even on hardest gameplay I usually always win so playing against myself makes for an entertaining season for I never know who is gonna win. And fun to watch the crowd, coaches, players, replays to feel like I'm in the game.. "EA SPORTS ITS IN THE GAME" but this is all gone now. PLEASE PATCH THIS!

Thanks

  • Nope, Like I said this only happens on couch "split Screen" co-op.  Playing with family member and they got a huge sack with a few minutes left in the game which caused a fumble and they recovered huge play in the game but couldn't enjoy it because it went right back to the playbook not even giving them a chance to do the celebration stick. Not even a replay lol just back to choosing a play. If I was playing online this be fine but dang I was happy for them but we had to hit pause in the game and watch the replay which to me is very dumb. Also the playbook still does same thing for away team when picking the play just a  blank grey screen.

    See Madden 25 did it right! They have see thru background for playbook so you can still see what's going on.. And after you make a tackle there is a orange bar to celebrate if you choose to within that time and you also get much more Action Replays and! Even if it's a standard tackle they still show a bit of visual instead of going straight to a blank play book screen.

    100% agree with you, H1ddenT! I always play my brother on couch co-op and the 2 player presentation is so frustrating. As soon as a play ends it immediately goes to the all black play select screen which covers all crowd, post-play cutscenes and replays. Totally removes any excitement or feeling that you're in the game. If there's a big play you can't even see it! The only replays you can see are for TDs and picks, nothing else. Like, why does it have to cut away from every play so quickly, and why does the opaque play select menu take up the entire screen? It shouldn't be hard to let post-play animations show (there's plenty of time on the play clock) and/or just make the play select screen smaller and transparent so you can see what's going on in the background. Madden does this right -- after the play they let it breathe for a few seconds so you can see the action on the field (and they show full screen replays of big plays!) and then it goes to the smaller transparent play select screen where you can see all the background of the game. It shouldn't be hard to fix this and would add so much more substance to couch co-op gameplay (and make it more like the 1 player experience). Hoping EA can fix this soon!!

    I am having the same issue. I just wished they add switch teams back into the options during the game for all game modes. 

  • Glad to see I'm not alone. Just be a nice feature for something already in the game and I know the creators should be glad we like to see the beauty of what they created.
