Dear NCAA

Subject: NCAA 2026 Coaching Carousel Feedback & NFL Integration Suggestion

 

Dear And NCAA  EA Sports Team,

 

First, I want to thank you for bringing back college football with NCAA 25 — the excitement around this return is real, and many of us truly appreciate the work you’ve put into reviving a beloved franchise.

 

That said, I’d like to respectfully offer some feedback and a request regarding the Coaching Carousel feature, especially as we look ahead to NCAA 2026.

 

As it currently stands in NCAA 25, the Coaching Carousel feels a bit limited. While players can move between college programs, there’s no path for user coaches to advance to the NFL, despite seeing AI coaches make the jump. For someone like me—and many others—who loves to build dynasties, create legacies, and fully immerse myself in the career side of the game, this is a pretty big letdown.

 

It feels unfair and incomplete that AI coaches get this progression opportunity, while human players are locked out. We want to build our coaching legacy too — from a low-tier school all the way to the NFL sidelines.

 

So I’m asking, if it’s not too late, please consider expanding the Coaching Carousel in NCAA 26 to include:

 

  • Coach career progression into the NFL, not just for AI coaches but for players as well.
  • The ability to import your coach — not just your player — into Madden, continuing the career journey from NCAA to the pros.
  • Dynamic career paths that reflect real-world coaching movement, like OC to HC, or HC to NFL assistant roles and beyond.

 

 

This kind of integration would add immense depth and replayability to the game. It would give career-mode players a full-circle experience, allowing us to truly live the coaching journey from college to the NFL.

 

Again, thank you for bringing back NCAA Football. I’m excited for the future — and with just a bit more expansion to the Coaching Carousel, this game could go from great to legendary.

 

Sincerely,

A loyal fan and franchise builder
