Bring back encourage transfers

Dear EA Sports Team, First off, thank you for bringing back college football gaming with College Football 26. As a longtime fan of Dynasty Mode, I’ve spent countless hours, days enjoying the depth and strategy of team building, recruiting, and player development.

One feature I truly loved and deeply miss is the "Encourage Transfer" screen during the Players Leaving stage of the offseason. It gave users a meaningful way to shape rosters not just our own, but across the NCAA landscape. It felt realistic, strategic, and immersive, especially when trying to create more dynamic and balanced teams throughout the dynasty, and customizable getting to choose which players to put in the transfer portal which I loved so much with my creative mind and modding like brain ability.

It may seem like a small feature, but for many of us, it added a personal and creative control layer that made Dynasty Mode special. My Mind has always worked in creative ways, and this allowed me to use that for good.

Despite all the pushback or even mockery I might face for saying this, I do believe God is in this. And I have been consistent with that in the midst of the persecution I believe He listens, He cares about the things on our hearts big or small and that He canbring this feature back. I'm someone who is serving Him, and I know He cares about the things that bring joy and meaning to our lives, even through something like this game.

I respectfully ask that you consider bringing it back, whether in a patch or future update. I truly believe it would mean a lot to many fans who love building realistic and exciting college football universes year after year.  So with hope and respect, I ask that you consider bringing back the Encourage Transfer screen whether through a patch, update, or future title. It really meant a lot to us who love creating immersive, balanced dynasties year after year.

Thank you for your hard work on this game, and for listening to the community. Your efforts are appreciated more than you know.

Sincerely,
A dedicated dynasty player
In Jesus’ name, the name above all names,
Amen.

    It says during the Players Leaving week. if you read it again. Encourage transfer does zero good after the portal, after signing day. then it should just be called cut players, not encourage transfer.

  • I agree. Bring it back. I've spent many hours each season in both editions for players to continue there career. Its a big put off from playing the game. I've now gone to madden.

    Not happy

  • GO look at my recent post. I have been mentioning this for over a month since they changed it several updates ago!! Like and reply

     

  • Bring back encourage transfers. It doesn't make sense. You have it for one and a half years then take it away. It's not fun anymore. I wont be playing anymore until you bring it back....

  • This is my post I made 4 months ago after they took encourage transfer out option with one of there updates. ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

    They patched where you could switch characters and get any player you want in the transfer portal a few updates ago. I  Wish they would bring this back as it’s fun creating your own experience and scenarios in a offline solo dynasty. For example getting Jeremiah smith to go to a small school etc ….. anyone else notice this patch? In a video game you would think you would have full access to fully customized your league as you want to see it play out. The encouraged transfer option got moved to the end of the offseason now. Did anyone else enjoy or utilize this to fully customize how you wanted the transfer portal to play out and even being able to bring back seniors was cool after encouraging them to transfer before they could leave for draft. I like to user 10 teams in some of my offline dynasties and would mix up the talent pool across college football giving a awesome experience. I loved doing this in CFB 25. Anyone else feel the same or ever tried this? One of my favorite things to do in the offseason. Almost similar to  free agency in a madden game but for CFB. And yes is it completely realistic? Maybe not but in a video game in 2025 on a offline solo dynasty, you should have full control and customization of how you see your league playing out year to year. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK EA!
