CFB 26 crashes my console

EA this is absolutely tragic! I played CFB 25 and my game would crash half way through a game. Had my hopes up with CFB 26 and I have the same problem; my console crashes. We all pay $70+ and this is a constant issue. Very frustrating!! I love this game but it keeps crashing my Xbox. No other game does this, why…just why?!? It is embarrassing as a franchise that this is an issue. Please fix this or tell us how to prevent it. (Xbox S Series user)

    Platform: Xbox Series X

    Purchase: Digital bundle of NCAA Football 26 + Madden 26 ($149.99)

    Issue: NCAA Football 26 crashes every single time I try to play

    I’m absolutely fed up.  I’ve been trying to play Game 1 of Year 2 in my Dynasty — and the game *crashes without fail* every single time, specifically at the cut scene between the 3rd and 4th quarter when the Michigan crowd starts singing Mr. Brightside. I’ve tried 12(!) TIMES now. Each time, the game crashes straight to the Xbox home screen, and I have to completely restart it.

    Here’s the kicker: I had ZERO ISSUES in Season 1. Played every single game, won the Natty, no crashes, smooth gameplay. Now, after one or two updates, suddenly the game is completely broken. And I mean literally unplayable.

    I’ve done every troubleshooting step imaginable:

    --- Hard reset

    --- Cleared cache

    --- Uninstalled and reinstalled

    --- Checked other games (no issues at all)

    --- Followed every EA and Xbox support recommendation

    **NOTHING FIXES IT.**

    This is unacceptable. I paid $150 for this bundle and your game doesn’t even work! This isn’t about game mechanics or preferences — the product is BROKEN. I’ve poured HOURS into this Dynasty. I renamed and customized 25 recruits, redesigned gear, built up my roster — all of it, now completely unusable.

    Something needs to be done immediately.

    This is unacceptable EA, such a broken product & they dont seem to care. This should not be happening on a 1 year old PS5, id ask for my $$$ back but we know they won't give a refund.

    Im playing offline, cant imagine how frustrating this would be if it were an online dynasty.

    Be better EA

  • This has been happening to people for over a week. For me it’s been happening for about 5 days. Can’t play dynasty at all. Looks like there’s an update coming tomorrow. So hopefully it’s fixed. 

  • Here’s what I’m noticed I have cfb26 on Xbox and ps5 I started off with Minnesota (ps5) everything ran smooth year 3 first game it crashes, switched to my Xbox did Auburn 2 seasons no issues year 3 1st game it crashes. My cousin on ps5 1st dynasty kanas year 3 crazy switches to wazzu year 2 1st game crashes it seems to be that year 2/3 is when it crashes. It’s just crazy & disgusting how a company like EA can put out a game like this with no care for the consumer. I got the update today thinking it’ll make the game better load up n get my 1st crash on my Xbox so now idk if it’s a coincidence that it’s year 3 or if the update has something to do with it but it’s frustrating a company can be this negligent to a serious issue as that’s just makes the game completely unplayable!!
