Ineligibility of academics won’t let me spend xp to be able to play

Hello EA team,

I’m experiencing a major gameplay-breaking bug in College Football 26 (Xbox Series X). In Road to Glory mode, my player has been made academically ineligible, but the game will not allow me to spend XP on academics to fix it. I’ve now missed three playoff games, and the system won’t let me recover GPA or interact with the academic progression at all.

 

I’ve seen many others report this same issue online. I’ve tried restarting, reallocating energy, and balancing my XP, but the game is stuck in a loop where I’m locked out with no way to recover.

 

Please escalate this issue or provide an ETA on a fix or patch. I love the game, but it’s unplayable right now in this state.

  • Im experiencing this same issues as well. My academics were all the way before playoff time then dropped out of no no where and won’t allow me to spend in academics. I’m playing on PS5

    I’ve been above a 2.0 gpa all season long and won basically every award possible for my senior season. Now I can’t play or boost my gpa for weeks in the game at this point and will have to sit the entire playoffs because someone thought it would be fun to see hours of work on a game mess up due to not “studying enough” in a video game. I say the conference title, 2 bye weeks, and none the whole playoffs. How was I eligible the last week of the season but not after? I spend all this time to finally be in position to finally win a title after 3 years of only practicing and now I can’t ever do it. Someone needs a reality check to at least turn this dumb feature off in the settings. Horrible you can’t and have to see your play benched. Do better as an organization.
