College football 26 issues

I would like to start by saying I am very pissed at this game. I wanted it to be everything ea marketed it as but it’s just not. There were some quality of life improvements and some graphic improvements but that’s where the positives of this game stops. The gameplay is extremely buggy and feels extremely numb. The CPU difficulty is OP and broken to say the least. You can have the best roster playing against the worst team in the country and still loose because the cpu is just that good at knowing everything you are doing and knows perfectly how to stop it. Blocking, tackling, and playing any sort of defense is garbage. Great offensive lineman are getting beat by sub par defensive ends to get straight to the running back/quarterback on nearly every play which is just really unrealistic. Tackling and playing the pass is so numb it makes me want to quit playing the game. The short version is that ea’s frostbite gameplay engine they used in this game need to be thrown out and replaced with something that actually works. Content creators get flawless gameplay while normal people get a really crappy game. I have been playing this game for about 3 to 4 days now and it has left me pissed beyond belief. Currently I have been experiencing a lot of gameplay crashes where I will be trying to kick a field goal and as soon as I initiate the kick nothing happens except the whole team just starts attacking each other and bugs out to where I have to restart the game. All in all very very disappointed in the game and pissed that ea has taken about 10 steps backwards in a game that was supposed to be so much better than last year. EA please do better!

    All they did was change esthetics and minimally changed gameplay just enough to have people purchase the game.  I will never buy the again unless they fix the CPU team, no matter who is playing, completely overpowering whatever team they are playing.  Most annoying lazy coding ever!!!!

  • Why can I not edit any players (to include non NIL) in online Dynasty mode with Teambuilders?  I have a "private" online Dynasty league because I'm testing stuff and this year I CANNOT edit any players with info (numbers), gear, etc.  Is this something they removed?

    Well-written and spot on, but wishing EA will do better is pointless. If one wishes to see how communism destroys creativity, one needs to look no further than the products produced by EA Sports! No competition means people have no choice. MLB the Show is another example of a lack of competition stifling creativity in the video game industry. When 2k was making baseball games, the competitive edge between 2K and San Diego Studios fostered creativity and produced innovations that led to better games each year. Now, there is no rival to MLB The Show and each year, it is nothing but a copied, pasted, and polished product. However, one can only polish the same **bleep** so many times before crap lands on everything. Madden/College football and MLB The Show are crap-shoots, and until consumers come together and boycott these companies and products, they will never change because the name of the American money game is this: Maximum profit with minimal effort. That is, these video game producers collect millions (sometimes billions), by having their programmers copy and paste for a bottom line. The problem is that this maximum profit/minimal effort mentality corrupts everything it touches. Thus, the programmers themselves say, "Hey, Im not getting paid what I think I deserve, so I am going to extend just enough effort to get by...". And because of that mentality, which is common place these days, we see games released with more bugs than a New York roach motel, and, consequently, producers have to provide major incentives for the games to be fixed in a short time after release (i.e. overtime). Ultimately, true creativity takes hard work and maximum effort and many times, ctreativity may not deliver a big payday. Generally, American consumers (myself included) are lazy, which is why products are created by someone else and bought by us. Therefore, we have products reflective of our sloth. EA Sports is a company full of fat, lazy executives who care about one thing: Getting fatter and finding more ways to rest their fat butts upon the backs of others. 

    This may have been too philosophical, and I am sorry. I am simply fed up with corporations and the general lack of creativity everywhere. I mean, how many damned Batman or Superman movies are they going to make? Kryptonite is the only thing that can kill Superman...how many variations can be derived from that plot? The bottom line is monopolies are not good and should be eliminated or at the very least, heavily regulated! Take care and best wishes!

  • EA has totally let us all down game played well for a few days now I can’t get thru 1 game!! It’s not even the fact it’s doing this it’s the fact EA has totally let us know about this issue and has no addressed it at all and has the nerve to drop an “update” that fixed nothing good job EA with killing your brand this game is **bleep** and next year I’m sure sales drop !!

    **bleep** right! So much to hate about this game. Every running play up the middle is guaranteed for about a max 2 yd gain. I like how my kid can block my FGs 95% of the time too.

    Amen, I'm in dynasty with Utah. Two of the best tackles in the game. Each game I am sacked at least 5 to 6 times and hit while throwing the ball probably around 20 times per game. Meanwhile I have got one sack in the last 5 games. What a joke. The update better address this. It really isn't fun when it's so one sided even if the teams are equal or even if I have a better team.

  • My game won’t stay connected to EA server long enough to play a complete game. Only happens on CFB 26 No one can tell me why.
