Dynasty Frustrations

I had written a longer, more well though out overview of Dynasty but it keeps getting incorrectly flagged – even the forums don't work properly. With that, I'll just summarize my biggest gripes.

• The menus and UI are still terrible. It feels dated, flat, and has a very generic/stock template look. It's not a modern living hub that emulates anything that we see in today's CFB/sports media, but rather feels like a basic health insurance portal. On top of that, it's all entirely still so slow and laggy. Editing players and equipment is also the most nonsensically sorted, slow experience in the game. The post-game recaps, confetti notifications, full-screen updates - it's just all fluff to me.
• There's also just very little holding Dynasty together. There's no: top 25 reveal, weekly recap, playoff bracket reveal, top 25 stadiums, pre-game presentation (Game Day) or pre-game screen, recruiting pipeline map, custom conference map or dynamic element to moving teams around, instant classics, neutral site games, custom playoffs, SoS rating, etc.
• Recruiting needs to be simplified. I'm completely over the tedious activity system which is just padding the time it takes to slog through this. Persuasion system is still illogical.
• Commentary and overall presentation are still lackluster as ever. Every game feels and looks identical and it just has this very janky, unfinished flow. The commentary is filled with errors or irrelevant information. Where are the other score bugs and graphics packages?
• Coach Carousel still has issues. It's totally unpredictable what job you are going to get even if you're the top candidate. Coach progression needs to be streamlined – the overlapping and interlocking RPG tree has to go.
• Bugs including: recruit search function soft locks the game, coach pipelines don't register and they don't show for assistants, teams still hoard a dozen HBs or sign transfers when they have 90+ players at the same position in the same class, conference patches look horrible and are incorrectly colored, players T-posing in graphic wipes, wrong info popping up in screen wipes, horrible replays, broken challenge system, no user awards given (undefeated coach, breakout seasons - yet no awards, not even on this lists?), etc.

Overall, there is just so much further to go with this game and there's an extreme lack of polish and features at every turn during the experience. It feels so surface level like it's purpose built to tread water and be just viable enough to float the consumer base for a few months. At its core, it falls flat and packaging what's here via multiple menus, button click padding, charts, buzz words, some newish visuals, and what amounts to RPG/mini game mechanics doesn't hide what it's lacking. If you peel back the layers even a little, it’s so obvious there is just not much here to keep you coming back.

CFB 28 needs to be a complete revolution to sustain any kind of momentum for the franchise, because a lot of hype and interest was basically destroyed with the micro transactions upheaval, followed immediately by the dynasty bugs and realization that this isn't much of an update from 26 or 25 for that matter.
