Why I quit
This game is soooooooo bad. I get that its a game, but it can't make up its mind between gameplay vs. realism. My biggest issue has finally come to a head and had me retire my controller. The inability to make semi fast defenive adjustments makes the game unplayable. The only way to beat a 99-99 Wr is making good defensive calls and bringing complexity to the game. Its so frustrating that the tools are there, but the time constraints don't allow. There should be a 5 second-freeze before a player can snap the ball. It always both parties to make adjustments. I can't improve, my skill level is capped as I can't do anything but my base defense I pick.Encourage transfers
I can under state how disappointed that EA saw a need to patch a very fun feature in the game that allowed you to manually send players into the transfer portal. It was my favorite part of the game and I play dynasty mode 99 percent of the time. I will not be buying a copy next year unless this is rectified. I really wish another major game company would bring the competition because it’s been clear for a long time that they do not care about their customers.
Recruiting Mularkey!
So I'm playing a Dynasty with Vanderbilt it was a tough go for the first two seasons being the sissy team of the SEC but by season 3 I was a powerhouse - won the SEC and then the National Championship. I stacked on this with Back to Back Championships earning a three-peat as National Champions. I go to recruit this year and I've got 2 players in the entire country that have me as their #1 choice. They are both in Tennessee BTW. Seriously EA? It's not like I'm UTSA or Nevada - I'm a three time National Champion team, 4 time Coach of the Year in the premier conference in the country with the best Academics in the conference and only 2 people in the entire country put me at the top of the list. I'm not the favored destination in my own State. How about somebody put just a little effort into this game that isn't about some my team cash grab.Substitution issue
In my dynasty after I auto-reorder my players the running back is never my top one. It puts the last one in on my depth chart list. When I try to sub him out, the game won't let me and leaves him in. How do I get my best RB to come in the game and not my last one on the depth chartOnline Dynasty Weekly Summary Updates does not show for me.
I am the owner of the online dynasty with friends. If I am not currently logged in the dynasty when the week is advanced, I do not get the weekly summary update for recruits and potential transfers. Everybody else in the league gets them. The same thing happened to me in NCAA 25. Anybody else having this issue?Needs some work
More times then I’d like to admit I see my DL man in the face of a QB but scared to tackle. Does anyone else believe varsity setting is the real term for heisman? Idk maybe it’s me. I have really good games on the All American setting but I truly believe there is a slight issue with varsity setting. Can we please get some difficulty sliders for recruiting this is the biggest aspect of dynasty yet I can’t get a slight adjustment. Without the easy aspect of developers just cramming everything into one. Last but not least can we get a flag for hitting a defenseless receiver. My guy will be going up for a pass of course he’s going to drop when he gets his ankles cut out and lands on his helmet.Reasonable Dynasty Complaints
While i'm grateful that we have college football in the form of a video game, I feel like there is a lot of room for improvement. From what I've seen online, the devs seem to listen to players complaints more than other big games. Hopefully you guys see this. These are some of my issues I've discovered with CFB so far. All of these are going to be focused on Dynasty mode since thats my most played game mode. First off is the unrealistic sim stats. It seems like every year my QB is at the bottom in terms of passing yards because every other QB in game has 4,000-5,000 yard seasons. Last year, only 6 quarterbacks in FBS passed for over 4,000 yards. The previous years are about the same. I know its a small detail but I feel like it kills immersion. Passing attempts are also extremely high per QB. Overall, there are a ton of examples in the season stats that are simply unrealistic. The same can be said for game stats. For example, most of the games I play always have an extremely skewed Time of Possession. In real life, most games finish near a 50/50 TOP split. The good news is that these issues seem to be an issue that can be fixed fairly easily by messing with their sim engine. Secondly is more of a request for future installments but during the offseason, players should be able to apply to job openings. My job offers in CFB 26 so far have been pretty terrible. Being able to apply to more jobs creates variety and honestly, the basic four offers players get to choose from feels a bit dull. The name generator in the recruitment tab needs some more variety. It feels like there’s so much repetition after a handful of seasons. I've seen about 7 different Manziel's and Rooks' in just 4 seasons so far. I also think having a limitation on recruiting for OC/DC's would also be awesome. I shouldn't be able to recruit defensive players if I'm an OC and vice-versa. Having more limitations like this in game would drive me to actually seek out a HC position more.Recruiting needs work
I’m Florida in an online dynasty and this is ridiculous. No way should I be able to land HALF of all the 5 stars. Especially should not be able to land THREE 5 star QBs in the same class. The deep dive said they were aiming for not needing house rules, but now we have some for CFB 26.
