CFB 27 Rosters — Continuing the Push Toward Authenticity
Thank you to the EA College Football team for the recent roster update and addition of 1,900+ players. We appreciate the continued effort to make CFB 27 as authentic as possible. We understand players must opt in and complete the licensing process before being added, and that freshmen, transfers and late roster changes may miss initial deadlines. One important question: Is CFB 27 currently limited to 85 players per team? If so, we hope EA considers expanding that limit where necessary. The goal shouldn’t be 105 players for every program, because not every team has 105 scholarship players and specialists. Instead, each roster should represent its actual eligible scholarship players, transfer additions and specialists who have opted in, whether that’s 85, 90, 95, 100 or 105. We also encourage EA to use official team rosters as the primary reference for jersey numbers, height, weight, true positions, transfers and players no longer with the program. Since users cannot recreate missing real-life players, continued roster updates are critical to accurate personnel and depth charts. The 1,900+ additions were a huge step forward. Please continue building each program toward its actual eligible player pool to improve roster accuracy, depth-chart authenticity and the overall Dynasty experience.
Just a thread of whacky occurrences in the game. 🤷♂️

I pray that some Game Devs actually take the time to read this: It's really an absolute effing shame that after all the work and enthusiasm people put into their dynasties with recruiting and building up players, that we can't proceed to export them into Madden. I don't understand why it is so hard. And before you give us the "contractually we can't cause of NIL and the NFLPA contracts" nonsense I'm gonna stop you right there. Shut the bleep up and listen. Code the game so that the first five years of a dynasty player export is not an allowable option. Then in year 6 and beyond every offseason you are now allowed to export players into the next game. This will ensure that no real athlete is brought into Madden thus no contracts are being broken AND us players get to continue playing. Cause let's be real...we don't want this as an option to draft Carson Beck. We want to bring that gem 3-star we recruited back when no one believed in him (or us) and bring him into the league. This should be absolutely doable. Using the NIL issue as a reason not to export players is just a lazy excuse. Fans of the game would absolutely understand the five season wait to get around NIL if they could then export their generated players instead. Also, from a financial stand point it will only boost sales to Madden because people will actually have a reason to buy that game again outside of online play. Last thing: Make Dynasty Mode 50 years. What are we really doing with this 30 year nonsense? At the very least make it 40 so that we can recoup the first five years we essentially would lose while waiting for the exportable player option to trigger. Yes, I know 40 would give us an extra 5 years....cut your consumers a break, jeez.What we need in CF27
College Football 26 was another huge success compared to CF25. But there are many changes we would all like to see for CF27. First things first, transfer non-NIL players aka computer generated players to Madden. THIS IS HUGE and should be a MAJOR PRIORITY. In dynasty we work so hard to build up our players with amazing stats and awards and at the end of their college career they just disappear and are forgotten about. I understand with NIL you guys can’t do that, which we understand, In dynasty year 2031 or 2032 all the NIL players should be graduated and off the game. This simple fix will GREATLY increase the value of not only College Football 27 but Madden 27 as well. There is nothing like rivalry games in college football. Trophies are on the line, bragging rights are on the line, rivalry games are what makes college football special. This should be reflected in the game, more intensity is needed, harder hits, dramatic broken tackles etc. We would also like to see a longer sustain in the “stadium pulse,” once you get a three score lead, the crowd virtually disappears and you lose your home advantage. In College Football 25 during dynasty, we were given a chance to increase or decrease our home stadium ranking depending on home winning streak or home losing streak. In College Football 26 nothing changes, i could be on a 45 home game winning streak or a 33 home game losing streak and the ranking would still stay the same. For example I’m currently using Michigan State in my dynasty and I’m on a 30 home game winning streak but I’m still ranked at 24. This should be another easy fix because the stadium ranking would change in college football 25. Just like in real life if an in unranked team beats a highly ranked the crowd storms the field aka “Pitch Invasion.” Whether if it’s a major upset, monumental rivalries, or historic wins adding “Pitch Invasion” at the end of the game would be a huge new feature. In College Football 25 on offense if I motion a player (RB, TE or WR) I could hike the ball whenever I was ready, but in CF26 on most plays I have to wait until the player is set before i could even hike the ball. This is very annoying because with motions we create mismatches and delaying the snap of ball takes away our advantage on offense. Again this wasn’t an issue in CF25 so please fix this. I believe first down celebrations wasn’t a thing in CF25 but was added in CF26. The animation is pretty cool but if I’m in a 2-minutes offense or just playing fast, this animation slows me down every time. This feature should be optional whether we want to turn first down celebrations off or on. Defensive players should be eligible for the Heismen Trophy. Again in CF25 there was a possibility I could win the Heismen Trophy as a defensive players whether if it’s 30 plus sacks or 20 interceptions I would be concerted as a finalists. In CF26 i could have 40 plus sacks and not be concerted as a finalist at all. This should be a simple fix as well. I noticed in the off season during the coaching carousel we get very limited head coaching positions offers, but if you look at “all head coaching openings” there are plenty of school looking for a head coach but we don’t get those offers. This should be another easy fix. Also if we do accepted head coaching job at another school we should be given the option to bring our coaching staff with us as well. If I take a 1 or 2 star school and turn them into a 5 star powerhouse over time, we should be given the option to improve the staduim or customize it. And lastly, custom playbook has limited options for formation substitutions. I understand we have to based our custom playbook off an actual playbook. For instance let’s say I used the Michigan University’s playbook and I want to add different formations for example I want to add the “wishbone” formation to my custom playbook. In the “formation substitutions” section I can’t do that because the “wishbone” formation is not part of Michigan’s playbook.Instant Commit no longer works!
I have the dream school and this is the second season in a row without a single instant Commit preseason. I normally average 3-4. Cand find any info if this was from an update. Anyone else having similar issues? It's not my school and I am only talking about 1st choice players. Nothing has changed so it must be an update right?
College Football 27 Team Builder choices
I just tried out the New Custom Stadium choices in Team Builder for College Football 27 I am not one bit satisfied with the choices I have in the Team Building site. With the Stadium choices they give you its not enough. You dont get any choices of accessories from Track & Field tracks devider walls for the Endzones, position of stands on the field etc etc. I have alot of custom Team Builder Teams, I want to be able to choose what Stadium I want & Stadium accessories to add to the Stadiums I choose. I dont like what the Devlopers have to offer in Stadium choices for College Football 27. There nedds to be more Team Builder Stadium accesssories to choose from in this seasons College Football game.
