This was a BIG problem in CFB 26 and even CFB 25, just go look at the HUGE forum post on CFB 26 where there were over 1000 replies with the same issue across both PS5 and XBSX, EA said it was a hardware issue ( it isn't) people bought new consoles because of this, and then obviously still had the issue. EA has absolutely no clue what is causing it, or are entirely incapable of fixing it without breaking the whole game.
This was and still is also a persistent issue on Madden 26, FC26, and NHL26 and even the newest Battlefield. totally random, both offline and online modes, and usually resulting in either dashboarding, or in some cases completely shutting off the console entirely. It happens fairly consistently and in some cases multiple times back to back. other times it does not happen at all, no one has been able to directly replicate the issue and find causation, people (EA specifically) have speculated things that are correlated to the issue, but others have said they have those same parameters , and do not experience the crashing. So again, I can only assume that they have absolutely no idea what is actually causing the crashes heck it may even be multiple different issues instead of one singular problem, that is a risk you run when you compile new coding(features) on recycled old outdated code, you run into directly interfering prompts that cause a crash, and again you can't just re-write it to fix it without ripping up the foundation.
it is unfortunate, because the issues have been widely reported, but from what I have seen, the dev teams from each game do not communicate on issues with each other, even after I talked to people directly at EA with their development team, and there was no attempt to collude to try and rectify the issue across multiple games.
