What we need in CF27

College Football 26 was another huge success compared to CF25. But there are many changes we would all like to see for CF27. First things first, transfer non-NIL players aka computer generated players to Madden. THIS IS HUGE and should be a MAJOR PRIORITY. In dynasty we work so hard to build up our players with amazing stats and awards and at the end of their college career they just disappear and are forgotten about. I understand with NIL you guys can’t do that, which we understand, In dynasty year 2031 or 2032 all the NIL players should be graduated and off the game. This simple fix will GREATLY increase the value of not only College Football 27 but Madden 27 as well.

There is nothing like rivalry games in college football. Trophies are on the line, bragging rights are on the line, rivalry games are what makes college football special. This should be reflected in the game, more intensity is needed, harder hits, dramatic broken tackles etc.

We would also like to see a longer sustain in the “stadium pulse,” once you get a three score lead, the crowd virtually disappears and you lose your home advantage.

In College Football 25 during dynasty, we were given a chance to increase or decrease our home stadium ranking depending on home winning streak or home losing streak. In College Football 26 nothing changes, i could be on a 45 home game winning streak or a 33 home game losing streak and the ranking would still stay the same. For example I’m currently using Michigan State in my dynasty and I’m on a 30 home game winning streak but I’m still ranked at 24. This should be another easy fix because the stadium ranking would change in college football 25.

Just like in real life if an in unranked team beats a highly ranked the crowd storms the field aka “Pitch Invasion.” Whether if it’s a major upset, monumental rivalries, or historic wins adding “Pitch Invasion” at the end of the game would be a huge new feature.

In College Football 25 on offense if I motion a player (RB, TE or WR) I could hike the ball whenever I was ready, but in CF26 on most plays I have to wait until the player is set before i could even hike the ball. This is very annoying because with motions we create mismatches and delaying the snap of ball takes away our advantage on offense. Again this wasn’t an issue in CF25 so please fix this.

I believe first down celebrations wasn’t a thing in CF25 but was added in CF26. The animation is pretty cool but if I’m in a 2-minutes offense or just playing fast, this animation slows me down every time. This feature should be optional whether we want to turn first down celebrations off or on.

Defensive players should be eligible for the Heismen Trophy. Again in CF25 there was a possibility I could win the Heismen Trophy as a defensive players whether if it’s 30 plus sacks or 20 interceptions I would be concerted as a finalists. In CF26 i could have 40 plus sacks and not be concerted as a finalist at all. This should be a simple fix as well.

I noticed in the off season during the coaching carousel we get very limited head coaching positions offers, but if you look at “all head coaching openings” there are plenty of school looking for a head coach but we don’t get those offers. This should be another easy fix. Also if we do accepted head coaching job at another school we should be given the option to bring our coaching staff with us as well.

If I take a 1 or 2 star school and turn them into a 5 star powerhouse over time, we should be given the option to improve the staduim or customize it.

And lastly, custom playbook has limited options for formation substitutions. I understand we have to based our custom playbook off an actual playbook. For instance let’s say I used the Michigan University’s playbook and I want to add different formations for example I want to add the “wishbone” formation to my custom playbook. In the “formation substitutions” section I can’t do that because the “wishbone” formation is not part of Michigan’s playbook.
