With all the new customisation features and over 1,700 head models added for the audience, it is a statement not to add the option for the coach creator.
It doesn't need to be a highlighted or pushed as a major feature, because it isn't. It's a baseline for equality.
With all the things they could do to fix issues in the game you decide to post about EQUALITY. Why not rainbow banners for pride month? In the attributes why not indicate the players sexual preference? What about their pronouns? That's just wonderful. How about just giving me a FB that doesn't dodge a LB so my HB doesn't take a five yard loss. OR the All American LT that stares at the DE all the way until he sacks my QB without engaging. How about they fix that stuff first.🙄
They added a wide range of clothing options and hundreds of new models.
You do realise there are multiple people working to develop gameplay, mechanics, quality of life, and yes presentation. Which, we had a full deep dive on.
What are you trying to say with your statements? By minimising equality and going to the extreme by saying "why not indicate player sexual preferences" you are perpetuating systemic imbalance and hostility.
I look forward to a comment from the CFB 26 team
With all due respect bro, there just aren’t any women that are head coaches or even major assistant coaches in college football. There are no women that are head coaches, offensive coordinators, or defensive coordinators at the FBS level. It just is not realistic and simply has no reason to be in the game unless they feel like adding it.
There is a growing trend of women getting into the industry, in position coach roles at the CFB and NFL level.
Changing perceptions takes time, but more importantly, action.
A relatively small effort to use existing audience models in the coach creator wouldn't make a difference to gameplay. But, it could inspire more people to get into the sport, making it better for all.
There are 150+ topics here, and only three have solutions. I dare not even look at the ratio on the CFB25 forum.
The deep dives bang on about community engagement and listening to the fans, but where is the action.
CFB26 development team, please respond as to why women coaches have not been added as a customisation option.
The gameplay released hasn't shown otherwise that women have been added. Hopefully this is updated before release.
They aren’t going to give you a reason. They didn’t even fix Champs league in their main money maker CUT last year. I brought it up multiple times and one intern got back to me and said they would pass the issue along to the team but it never got fixed. They definitely aren’t going to add women coaches this year. Perhaps next year and they can say it is a “new feature” but of course they will take away something else. You won’t get a reason
Adding one thing dosnt take away from another area, and would be a very easy issue to address. It's not a bug or gameplay mechanic, and it doesn't require any usage fees either.
It was an active choice they made when adding all the new coach customisation options.
