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.

  • MAJOR NEEDS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL 27

    1. Field Rush After and High Score game (ex. Ohio State 57 vs 36 Michigan) Then a cut seen after the game like after the coach’s shake hands the cut seen would happen and the camera would pan over to a random side of the field close up and show a massive field rush.
    2. More realistic penalty’s and fouls like for ex. (A Corner back and a Wide Receiver the corner back would incomplete a pass then do an dance/celebration towards the wide receiver and the receiver would get mad or not and start fighting (kinda like in NHL) the corner back would/player would have the option either to say something disrespectful,Kind,Taunt, or fight back by pulling face mask and punches or pulling helmet off until stopped or severely injured.
    3. Road to glory positions we could have more position other than WR,Mike LB,CB,QB,HB We could have maybe A Few or one Special team’s position like Punter or kicker or blocker or even a kick receiver. We could also have positions like Tight end or safety or off lineman and for defense we could have a defensive tackle or def lineman, maybe even a punt returner or guard and let CB play Punt Return blocker.
    4. Open World (only college maybe high school if you have a ton of offers) if after the game we could move around the city go to the weight room lift or resistance training for speed points and strength to earn strength points and maybe going to classes and press meetings maybe even interacting with fans and signing autographs or pics(maybe in the game we could sign cameras and stuff for fans after high scoring games) We would also have maybe physical meetings with coaches and reporters, we also would like to have the option to see the college in person and review it and  see if we like what they have to offer other then a text. We also could have free roam in the college campus and dorms and classes. 

    5. Gear: We need more realistic graphics and gear more customizable things and cleats, gloves maybe hanging mouth guards more visor options and sleeves, leg sleeves we need even more realistic movement. 

    6. We need challenge calls.
    7.  We need more career injuries and higher/more serious injuries.
    8. we need a whole high school experience even maybe a home coming game or dance (JUST DANCE NO 1️⃣8️⃣+ STUFF) we also could use a free roam in the locker room and pre game warmup like practice on the game field.
    9. More open world things like a training camp or off season training camp for a college. “We could also use options for out pipeline”.
    10. Allow Road to glory have visits and get likeness from coach’s.
    11. Let road to glory also have walk ins and broadcasted to live TV.
    12. Let coaches have press conferences in dynasty.
    13. let us have  ski mask and go to New York for the  Heisman calibration and halftime shows (ex. Marching band, Drumline, Band Vs Band). 
    14. allow us to customize us  cleats in the color brand and allow us to have creativity allow us to also select more archetypes for positions allow us to also have more hat/college selections instead of having three hats to select from we could have maybe five or four. 


    15. Last one just saying, allow us to see our game, film and select maybe five or three of them that we like and then send them to the colleges.
