Create-a-Recruit (or Create-a-Player) Addition to CFB 27

One feature I’d love to see added is Create-a-Recruit (or Create-a-Player).

Imagine being able to create your own high school recruit outside of RTG with customizable ratings, position, hometown, height, weight, equipment, and appearance. To avoid any NIL issues, the game could restrict the use of real player names. You could even place reasonable limits on attributes and overalls during the recruiting process so the feature stays balanced.

Once the current NIL players have graduated, this feature would open up an entirely new level of immersion and storytelling.

College football is all about stories, and Create-a-Recruit (or Create-a-Player) would give players the freedom to create their own outside of RTG while still respecting the NIL era.

I think it would add another dimension to Dynasty and keep people playing for years.

    Don’t have to imagine it. We used to be able to do it for years and years. Ever since 2005 we were able to do it. 

  • This is a MAJOR loss. Creating yourself and your friends is a level of immersion that nearly had me decide to give up entirely. I just got a ps5 and the game. Complete let down on that front. Then I had to join ps plus as if I’m playing online when I only added a created UTA team. I’d rather being to play at smu or ole miss with my friends. It’s a sad realization that all the greed they still can’t deliver for the people who actually give everyone something to be greedy about.

  • Subject: Bring Back Full Player Creation and Editing in Offline Dynasty

    I’ve been playing NCAA Football and Madden for decades, and one of my favorite features has always been creating myself, my friends, and custom rosters.

    Why has EA made something that used to be so simple so unnecessarily difficult?

    I want to create players, edit their appearances, names, equipment, positions, and ratings, and use them in an offline Dynasty. I also want the ability to edit fictional, computer-generated recruits after they join my program.

    Instead, I’m forced to use TeamBuilder, which requires a Cloud Dynasty. After buying the game, I’m now being prompted to pay for PlayStation Plus just to play a single-player Dynasty with my custom school.

    I have no interest in competing online. I simply want the customization freedom that older NCAA Football games provided.

    I’m asking EA to:

    • Restore full Create-a-Player functionality.
    • Allow complete editing of fictional players and generated recruits.
    • Allow TeamBuilder schools in Offline Dynasty.
    • Stop making online subscriptions necessary to enjoy custom single-player experiences.

    I understand there may be licensing restrictions involving real college athletes. But those restrictions shouldn’t prevent us from customizing fictional players.

    Please give longtime Dynasty players back the freedom we once had.

  • I would love this I am trying to make nfl players back on their CFB Teams but can't on Alabama! EA_Shepard​ , may to ask your team that we get the Miami Hurricanes' Throwback Jerseys in the next Title update? Adidas revealed them this season and I want to use them (There are two throwbacks: Home and Away) (and I'm back!)

    Demaurezb99​ It never hurts to ask. There is a lot that goes into getting that content from teams. Here's hoping, but I can definitely send that over as a request for sure.
