CFB 27 Wish List / Suggestions For Dynasty & Presentation

  • I like a lot of these, but one thing I would like are new features in road to glory like:

    1. New positions like safety, defensive edge, and throw out there kicker.
    2. Option where you can talk to your coach.

    I think they should take inspiration from fifa/FC games where a player can spend money on things like houses, home workout equipment and other things that can boost the player mentally and physically.

    Another couple of overall suggestions -- started to list them as bug fixes but at this point in the year/lifecycle of the game I think the bait has pretty much been cut on CFB26:
    * Fix downfield blocking. When a runner/receiver/punt returner is into the secondary and beyond, his teammates should not be blocking guys in the back -- both because it'd be a penalty and because most of the time it just means they're pushing the defender toward the ball carrier (and in this universe that means the defender is given a burst of speed toward catching the player).
    * Very minor, but opposing cheerleaders and fans should not be having anything like a positive reaction when my team scores. Lots of times as I enter the end zone I've seen opposing cheerleaders raising pom-poms and their fans acting like they'd scored.

    Just thought of another downfield blocking example that makes no sense:
    * On kickoffs, why does it so often happen that there are free runners coming at me as the returner and then I look up and see 4-6 of my "blockers" in the other half of the field, with 2-3 of them mauling the kicker? (This seems like the same mis-mapped route for AI players that has blockers on RPOs charging toward the secondary or the goal line before I can get a pass off.)

    The one major thing that I would like to do is to be able to have full control over the the ratings from the top the number one School in the country all the way down to 127 I believe I should be able to set that at the end at the end of the year or throughout the year. We should be able to have whatever bolt whatever bowl games that we want instead of having them predetermined I would rather just have them all at large and just pick the best teams for the bowl games I would like to be able to redefine the playoff system to where when your conference and you’re in plus or -2 or four teams, I would like to to be able to play the national championship game and whatever bowl I want randomly you know pick whatever bowl the playoff shouldn’t. I don’t want the playoffs in the same stadiums every year I wanna be able to choose where the playoffs are and how many teams are in the playoffs and who gets in

    They really need to overhaul the coaching carousel cause it’s still garbage. There are quality, defensive coordinators, and offensive coordinator that don’t get head coaching jobs. The computer just turns around and gives it to fictitious made up characters. I also should have the ability to pick whatever coach I want to be an offensive and defensive coordinator I should have full control over that now whether they show up or not and accept the job who knows but I should be able to to hire or offer the job to whoever I want  on top of that, if you leave your program, I don’t see why the computer won’t try to hire the coordinators to take over for you or vice versa. Your coordinator and your coach leaves you should you should be offered the job.

    I do like the aspect of bringing the FCS teams in now I could go a step further and say that I would like to see these FCS teams eventually join the FBS if they’re good enough

    I would like the ability to create new conferences with these FCS schools when they decide to move up bring back the whack bring back the big east in football why not

    I also would like the ability to assign points to my offensive and defensive coordinators myself that way they’ll grow within my program and fit in better

    Why is no one talking about pipelines? This system really needs a revamp, and it wouldn’t take much to make it better.

    What if any state could become one of your top 10 pipelines, but you actually had to earn it? Each state would have requirements, with high-competition states like Texas, Florida, and California being harder to unlock (ex: one 5-star and four 4-stars). Smaller states with less talent would have easier requirements.

    Once you earn a pipeline, you don’t necessarily keep it forever. There should be maintenance requirements over time. Recruit well and that pipeline gets stronger (ranked 1–5). Slack off and it becomes at risk of being lost.

    This would make pipelines dynamic and strategic: do you focus on dominating a few big states, or spread out and manage up to all 10 if you’re good enough?
