Unlocked Playbooks Keep Reverting to Default in Road to CFP
There is a serious playbook bug in Road to the College Football Playoff. I completed the objectives to unlock additional playbooks, and the game allows me to select the unlocked playbook in Advanced Settings before the game. However, once the actual online game starts, it automatically switches me back to my team’s default playbook. This defeats the entire purpose of unlocking playbooks. If I earn and unlock a playbook and select it before the game, that should be the playbook that loads when the game starts. I also don’t understand why Road to CFP restricts playbooks this heavily in the first place. Madden allows players to choose different playbooks, so why is College Football handled differently? Play calling and scheme are a major part of football strategy. I should be able to use the team I want while running the offensive or defensive system that fits my style. Please fix the bug where unlocked playbooks revert back to the default playbook, and please consider allowing players more freedom to choose their offensive and defensive playbooks in Road to CFP. Expected result: The unlocked playbook I select in Advanced Settings remains active when the game starts. Actual result: The game accepts my selection before the game but switches back to the team’s default playbook once the game begins. This is extremely frustrating, especially because you don’t find out it changed until you are already in a ranked online game.
Add Tennessee's Dark Mode & Smokey Gray uniforms to Road to the CFP 9/3
Tennessee needs the Dark Mode uniforms and upcoming Smokey Grays added to Road to the CFP. Other powerhouse programs like Oregon feature multiple uniform combinations available in competitive online modes. Tennessee deserves that same standard of authenticity and uniform variety in Road to the CFP. Suggested Fix: If uniform slot limits are an issue, the solution is simple: Replace the obsolete Orange Helmet option: Tennessee hasn't worn the orange helmet look with current jerseys since 2022. Swap in the Alternates: Use that slot to bring the Dark Mode threads into Road to the CFP, and integrate the Smokey Grays through standard updates. Fixing this gives fans the modern rotation actually worn on game days for online play. As of 9/3 these are still not usable in Road To The CFP.I just get very annoyed playing against Oregon and Ohio State
In Road the CFP, it would be so awesome to have a feature where you can pick a couple teams you DON’T want to play against. I think a max of two teams you don't want to play would be perfect. I main Oklahoma, so yes, it's not abnormal for me to only play tier ones, and I don't mind that; I just get very annoyed with literally only playing against Oregon and Ohio State. [Title edit - CM]
Post your highlights here
I hope that we can post more than just gripes about the game in these threads. I think the EA forum is the most professional of all the forums out there and it would be great if we could have more discussions and sharing. I'll start by posting three highlights from the last weekend. First one. This run was amazing. No one touched my HB. Even though he was in a pile, and he kept going. Awesome run for TD (18 sec.) I lost this game, but I thought I had it. Unfortunately, I just got a bad animation. Maybe I needed to pass lead better? Still working on that. Tough loss on last play of the game (8 sec.) This one. I admit I should have lost and I did. But wow, I thought I had it. Unbelievable ending, almost won, but lost on last play (29 sec.)Game keeps lagging
I am 0-4 because i cant complete a single game because either it starts off lagging or coming in the second quarter i start the lagging. at first i thought it was my wifi but i play any other games and have no problem at all. and its only on road to college to college football. it starts by not letting me pick a play, i get delay of games because i cant do anything. i tried deleting it and re downloading it but it still happens. i even deleted every game on my ps5 thinking it was a space or storage issue. but nothing.
Fix this
I am playing online. Winning 35-34. With one second left, my opponent paused the game, told me “you won’t get this win” then did something to trigger a “network connection loss” for me. It returned me to the main menu immediately and it gave me the loss. On the matchup history it still shows the score 35-34, but gave me the loss.
