Issues I've noticed in NCAA Football 25
1. The simulations are completely unrealistic. Upsets are far to frequent compared to reality. 2. The rankings system is badly flawed. Multiple multi-loss teams still ranked in the top 10 early in the season. A 7-4 team ranked #1 while there are other SEC and Big 10 undefeated teams. 3. Details in the Red River Rivalry are BAD. First off they list that Texas won the game in 2023, not Oklahoma and flipped the score. The fans are on the wrong sides of the stadium. That is one of the most electric and loudest games I've experienced, the rattling the QB and play call/audible issues should impact both teams instead of neither. 4. The likelihood for 4 and 5 star recruits to choose smaller, less prestigious schools happens far too often. I'm sure there is more but those are what I've seen with maybe 10 hours of gameplay.
Recruiting quality of life improvements
When recruiting, I will set my prospect list to certain search criteria and filter them by pipeline and it's very annoying that when I do this and then click "team needs" my prospect list will reset to default and I have to set it up again. Please find a way so that when you click "team needs" it doesn't rest the board. Also, I find it to be frustrating that when you're looking at recruits it doesn't tell you if you've previously scouted the player or not. Countless times I've readded players I've already scouted that I don't want and I have to go back and search all over again. The game tells you if you've scouted them and they're bust or gems, so why not let you know if they've been scouted by the binocular icon if they're neither a gem or bust? Please add that feature!
My Wishlist for CFB 27 Team Builder
This is what I want to see added to CFB 27 Team Builder 1: Unlimited Create a team on the website. 32 should be updated to 64 or give us the ability to buy DLC and get 120 Team slots like the OG NCAA Football 14 allowed you to do. 2: Allow all created teams on the website to be submitted on to the consoles and be used in all game modes (Play Now, Dynasty, Road to Glory) It is so frustrating to create 32 teams on the website but can only download 16 on the consoles. What about the other 16 teams? 3: Add more layers for the equipment and the field. It would be cool to place sponsors on the field like Verizon or Wal-Mart on the field. 4: Stadium Creator would be awesome 5: Add more generic stadiums. That was so needed compared to CFB 25. Maybe a Dome or smaller stadiums like high school stadiums. 6: Endzone art in the National Championship Game. The OG NCAA football 14 you had that in the game. When you submit the teams their endzone and field art is downloaded so why can't you use it the Natty? 7: Team Entrances before the game: The cut scene of the game just starting is not very immersive. The old NCAA games had this and even Maximum Football has this. 8: More helmets, jerseys and pants choices as well stripes. Bengal stripes, camouflage. 9: Create a sign. Once again, the OG NCAA 14 had this feature. 10: Create a coach. Once again, the OG NCAA 14 had this as well the older versions of the game. 11: More of the team's colors and logos throughout the stadium. 12: Save all created teams on the website from 25, 26 and 27. Don't have to import 26 teams to 27 like you had to from 25 to 26. 13: Add a trophy room in Team Builder 14: Go back to playing offline. 15: Make the Team Builder website available months before launch. We need more time to create the teams, search for logos, search for letter fonts and not have a week or a few days before launch. 16: Treat Team Builder like the other game modes and give updates. Nothing is never added to Team Builder and that is supposed to be one of the pillows or core value of the game. 17: Create or borrow a mascot from the teams on the game. 18: Add more customization to Team Builder and make it stand out more than 25 and 26 (which 26 was a great update but we need more) 19: Stop placing a cap on how many teams you can create on the website. maximum football is unlimited. 20: Make Team Builder great again.
Member of the Development team
Hello. My name is Anthony Scafachi and I am the Admin for one of the largest fan pages on Facebook with nearly 74,000 members. I also host a successful podcast called Balls Deep which is about the page we run and the EA College football game. We are trying to get a member of the development team to come on the Podcast for an interview. Is there a way to reach out to the development team to see who would like to come on and have some fun? Thank you. You can reach out to us at [edit: email address removed] or message me on Facebook. Thank you AnthonyEA Please add custom playoffs
For years, one of the most requested features among dedicated sports gamers has been a fully customizable tournament or playoff mode in college football games. While other titles have explored this concept, it’s still missing in a meaningful way here.Growing up, my friends and I would fill whole paper notebooks to create full tournament brackets—sometimes 12, 32, even 64 teams—just to simulate what the game itself couldn’t offer. That demand hasn’t gone away; if anything, it’s stronger now. Adding a customizable playoff/tournament mode (12–64 teams, flexible formats, seeding control) would immediately increase player engagement and replayability. This is the kind of feature that keeps friend groups playing consistently, creates organic competition, and drives long-term retention. From a business standpoint, more time spent in-game translates directly to stronger player loyalty and higher lifetime value. From a player standpoint, it unlocks one of the most desired and social game modes that has been missing for years. This isn’t just a feature—it’s a core experience that would keep players coming back for the long run. Thank you.
TeamBuilder in Game Logos
Rather than rendering a large logo that looks out of place compared ot the original teams, it would be awesome if you could render a helmet image like the regular teams on in game menus like the Play Now screen or anywhere the helmet is rendered. It would look much better IMO. Mockup below:
