College Football 27 Wishlist/Must Happen!

Now that the 2025 season is over and EA is likely to start working on College Football 27 in the next few months, here are the things I feel '26 dropped the ball on that need to be fixed to make the game actually fun and user-friendly again, because too many things frustrated me with this version. 

  • Team Builder teams should continue to be allowed in exhibition games, and we need more custom stadium options for crowd sizes in the 50-100k range. Plus, custom stadium entrances for the Team Builder team so they feel authentic. Honestly would be cool if you could do stadium builder. 
  • Create your own conference feature. I would love to be able to create a conference for my Team Builder teams. Like taking FCS teams/conferences and putting them in FBS.
  • Allow Team Builder teams to be used in offline Dynasty mode and Road to Glory. This is a must, I can't tell you how annoying it was to make several online dynasties to play every team builder team I made in a college season. 
  • You should also be able to add Team Builder teams to dynasty mode without taking away other teams. Just allow us to add them to conferences. 
  • Bring back the old format for dynasty mode from NCAA football 09-14 for online and offline play. Allow users to control up to 5-10 teams in a dynasty mode as different coaches and be able to leave a team every offseason or when your contract expires for a new team. Also, add real-life coaches to the game on the sideline, coaching the teams. 
  • Have real career milestones and achievements in player profiles. Similar to NBA 2k, where they show if the player led the conference in something, the awards they've won (Heisman, bowl game MVPs, etc.), or if they won a championship (conference, national, or bowl game). 
  • Remove NIL in exhibition play so we can edit the players on our favorite teams. If I want to edit my roster, it shouldn't matter that the player has an NIL deal; the fans don't care about that. Just give them their money, but leave us out of it! 
  • Add historical championship teams or all-time great teams as options to play like this year's Indiana team or the all-time great USC teams. How cool would it be to play with Reggie Bush, Matt Ingram, Joe Burrow, or Vince Young in their college uniforms?! 

All in all, just make the game user-friendly again! 

Thus far, that's all I think, but please add on!

    I want them to implement a customizable post-season for Dynasty Mode. Since it's what everybody is talking about, anyway, let us experiment:

    - size of playoff, or go back to BCS format

    - qualifiers for playoff games

    - start date of season, schedule of playoff games, eliminate bowl games or make them playoff games or play-in games for the playoff

    - let us try out:

    -- the format Josh Pate just suggested (Thanksgiving Weekend being conference championships and bowl games for non-conference champions to get a 13th game) 

    -- or what Joel Klatt suggested (conferences have play in games on conference championship weekend with the conference's 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5)

    -- or giving the Group of 6 their own separate playoff alongside the Power 4 playoff

    While we're at it, add the ability to customize the league altogether. Think the Power 4 should break off from other conferences and form their own league? Want to add a Division 2 team to the FBS?

    And one more thing: have some sort of weekly recap for how top 25 or other conference teams are doing. I listen to a ton of football podcasts and I like knowing the landscape of the sport while I follow my team. Let me do that in the video game, too.

  • Agree with almost every thing you said. Regarding dynasty format to 09-14, you can control more than 10 teams and change teams/schools every season in the coaching carousel. Some of my best dynasties are offline where I user 10-12 teams and create the outcomes I want and different coaching builds as well as many different play styles. 

  • These are some MAJOR TTHINGS '27 should add:

    1. Allow users to use their own custom playbooks in online play and every other area of the game.
    2. When a user is using their own playbook in practice it should apply to the whole practice and not switch to the default when it's user offense vs cpu defense or user defense vs cpu offense 
    3. During dynasty universities should be able to promote OC's & DC's to HC'S from the same school
    4. The A.I. needs to improve the job offer when Dynasties have 6 or more users
    5. The O-Line needs to eliminate the (stupid plays: Like a Guard not blocking someone in front of them to climb to the second level)
    6. The A.I. needs to be fixed with spins/stiff arms/jukes. Players should spins to space, shift arms so they can stiff arm and be more responsive to controller jukes

    Those are my top adjustments

  • Things I want to see in college football 27:

     the ability to move NIL players positions around like in madden because EA doesn't always put the college players in the right positions. Like for an example they will put DE in a LB spot or a WR as RB and vice versa. This is ridiculous and frustrating.

     

  • I agree with all of the above. In addition In dynasty mode I would like to see the Head Coach job offers be opened up to be able to apply to any team for a job. The job offer model is broken. I have a HC with 15 seasons and 15 Nattys being offred crap jobs with no ability to apply to any other openings

    also allow us to create new conferences or even better create our own play off brackets size

  • Allow users to change team pipelines in Dynasty not the prestige level but maybe replace a hawaii pipeline with an Arizona pipeline. still limiting to 10. or assign pipeline points and allow players to create their own pipelines with a limitation by points allowed. On has 40 pionts and may only want 5 pipelines so i can make all of them prestige of 5 instead of 10 pipelines where some are useless

  • Please ad a feature to recruiting to where we can scout and recruit players from future classes. Would be great to build relationships in future classes and if or when we move to a new team we can use those relationships and gain to recrute better at new school.
