Updates

To Whom It May Concern at EA Sports,

I'm writing to tell you exactly how disappointed I am in what you've done to College Football.

I started playing NCAA Football in 2014. The year after that, you stopped making it because of the legal mess around player likeness and players not getting paid for the use of their names and faces. Fair enough. I waited. Like a lot of fans, I was genuinely excited when the series came back.

I returned in 2025. The game is nowhere near what it used to be. The gameplay is garbage. The updates, when you actually bother to release them, are trash. I bought College Football 26 hoping it would be better. It was worse. Now you keep pushing out more updates, while the people who actually paid for this game sit there hoping each patch will fix the problems that are genuinely frustrating to deal with, and instead the gameplay gets worse with every one of them. When I first bought this, I didn't think it could get worse than what it already was. I was wrong. Since July of 2025, I have watched this game decline with every single update.

I want to be clear about something. I'm a welder. If I put out work at this level of quality and didn't fix it, I would be out of a job very quickly. My customers would go somewhere else, and they'd be right to. I don't get to ship a bad weld, ignore the complaints, and then ship an even worse one the next week while still collecting a paycheck. That's not how real work functions.

You should be ashamed of the product you've put out. You have a monopoly on college football video games, and you're using that position to sell a broken product to loyal fans who waited a decade for the series to come back. They deserve better than this, and so do I.

Fix it. Or at minimum, stop making it worse.

Sincerely

A concerned customer.

If the next game is as bad as this one, I think you will be losing more customers than you gain. Oh, and I think you should turn back the hands of time and put the game back to the way it was in July of 2025. Just saying.
