Beyond Disappointed so far
Man, I love this game, I love College football, and I play this game so much its criminal. But there have been so many things that make this game hard to stay invested in like its just, ugh sometimes I wish 2K got these rights because this game coming back made me so happy and I peeked at mid year of CFB 25, its been all down hill. Where do i begin.
Die hard TCU fan, only play with them, they have not been touched, they have one of the best uniforms, "Blood Frog" that has been left out for a full year now. It was dawned against ok state halfway through last year and still it is not here.
The rosters man, the rosters. Just let us edit them on our own and not be able to share them. Like this is ridiculous, had a brutal week, with work deadlines, spent every break I had going to CFB Direct and refreshing it. Nothing, I am hoping I wake up to a wonderful update in the morning but I doubt it. They got us to buy it now they dont care. And the things they do fix only benefit CUT and Online modes, I havent played a single person in CFB 26, I just play dynasty and the hoops youve gotta jump through to make it feel okay. I tried team builder, spent massive amounts of time creating the perfect team, perfect roster, and none of those players records count in with the OG players, theres no work arounds for malpractice in ratings. Like I cant imagine rice fans, those guys must be hopeless, my team barely gets touched I cant Imagine how the even smaller schools deal with it. ugh
Custom Playbooks, Regular Playbooks... THE PLAYCALLING DOES NOT CYCLE PLAYS MAN FIX IT.
The same celebration after every game, NATTY Celly is boring takes 2 seconds, feels worthless to win, I quit everytime I win a NATTY and restart. No storming the field, nothing dynamic, no difference in an overtime win vs a blowout. Its just all so meh and lazy. I was sold on the devs, they did a good job of saying they would listen and this is the first bad thing I have said about the game since it came back because its new but even the things we were promised havent delivered.
If you cant put out a quality game every year then DONT, dont be money grabbers Id rather pay $200 for a game for two years than deal with a half assed game that is so broken at launch, so depthless and so empty in the promises that were made. Im sure some of the staff is trying their best, but the business model pigeon holes them, I am sure they are spending half of their time probably more developing next years game when they should be focusing on making this one everyone already paid for playable.
Give us more customization man, rosters for sure, but season types, let me make a conference, let me change the Playoff structure, go back to the four team, BSC, let me make a 24 team, control auto qualifier. Let me design jerseys in game, add on to my jersey sets so I dont get sick to death of them 4 years in when my team switches jerseys every 2 seasons anyhow. Let me build onto my stadium, let me create a play, a formation, a scheme, let me override things that are stupid that happen in the sim, give me God Power. Noah Fifita, Dante Moore, Marcel Reed, and DJ Lagway All transfer to BAMA let me reverse it man, let me move them to where they should be. Let me create traditions, develop rivalries, make a trophy for the rivalry. Let me change my school pipeline, let my Pipeline for my coach actually matter. Let me do anything creative at all. Dont force me into the same mode you are stuck in because your bosses only care about profit, if you cant create the game I want, let me have the power to fix that, give me more control, I dont have many more years of playing video games left, let me enjoy the game for my favorite sport how I want to.
I appreciate any dev that takes the time to read this, I thank you for your hardwork, I know its not your fault, but please try a bit harder to break the mold. Ill still buy and play the game, Ill still be held hostage waiting for updates, maybe thats the problem, I love the game, and when I am done with this Ill shift over to NHL 26 and play tha until the new game comes out but please do something. Thank you for your time
(Other users let me know your wishlists, Ill live vicariously through any ideas until we get an update)
