EA Server Disconnects Causing Loss
The server will boot me out of a game I'm winning. I come back and there is a loss. Screwed up an undefeated season. What causes the server to boot? Why is it not considered a DeSync? It has happened multiple times. Nothing to do with my internet connection. I would like to know how to solve this problem or at least make EA aware of server issues.
Win and Losses
Can this bug get be corrected. This season I have 4 losses that appeared after matching and instantaneously being kicked back to the home screen. I get playing a game or even actually starting a game and losing connection, but not actually starting a game and getting a L registered is diabolical.Punting on 4th down
I haven’t been playing online for a little while but when I was, I noticed that almost everyone would go for it on 4th down. No matter what the situation was, even when backed up on their own side of the field. I have an idea. What if EA brought back “Fair play” settings like they had on the PS2 online h2h games. This would force players to punt when they were on their own side of the field on 4th down. However, I think it would be cool if each player could override that setting 2 times a game. So, you would save those for times when it really mattered or when it was 4th and short. Or another idea would be that you could go for it when it was 4th and 3 or less.EA Any Tier = SEC or OSU
Can someone at EA please explain to me why almost 4 months after release, select any tier in Road To CFP STILL ONLY GIVE YOU Alabama Georgia LSU Ohio State I cant do this anymore, I cant find a game on most other tiers and I cant compete, with my team(Oregon). STOP **bleep**ING FILTERING OUT TEAM!!!!Lol its insane
After the update I hopped one and of course I got matched up with a Bama user. I threw 3 passes...all of them were picked off with 2 pick 6's 🤣 I've never seen DBs break on the ball so fast. The defense lineman 23 dropped back and SNAGGED a non bullet throw for a pick. I blinked and was down 21-0. Lol funny but not funny how much EA loves Bama. I know now Ill probably not win after this update so my Natty count in 26 will probably be at 1 for the rest of the year. I thought Bama last year was hard....Last year team looked like Ball State compared to what I just witnessed 🤔 🤣🤣Playoff Issues
I've been playing football games since the Atari days (yeah, I’m that old 😄), and I have to say — College Football 26: Road to the CFP is hands down the most frustrating mode I’ve ever played. Is anyone else consistently running into these issues during the College Football Playoffs? QB Inaccuracy on Simple Throws: In playoff games, my QB suddenly can't hit basic tap throws — like short crossers I’ve nailed all season. My mechanics are solid: feet set, throwing on time, yet the ball sails 2–3 yards ahead of the receiver. I had my TE break WIDE open on a crosser, and yup EA said I missed this throw. The Turf Monster: I nearly launched my PS5. In a first-round playoff game (his Natty game), I broke a tackle and was headed toward the end zone — then out of nowhere, my player just falls forward untouched. It cost me a touchdown and completely shifted the momentum. This and the above cost me 2 TDs. I lost this game 9-7. HE DIDNT GET INTO THE ENDZONE USING LSU.....AND EA SCREWED ME. I score EITHER of those two plays, I'm onto the next round. Speedy Players Slowing Down: My guys with 95–96 speed feel like they’re running in quicksand during playoff games. It’s like their attributes don’t matter. Holding Calls on Scoring Plays: I’ve lost count of how many touchdowns have been wiped out by holding penalties. My WR gets a clean release, is wide open, I tap the throw — and before the ball even leaves the QB’s hand, I’m flagged. This happened in my most recent Natty game, and I lost by 3 points on a last-second FG. Dropped USER INT: I stopped counting how many game saving/game changing INT my user has dropped...I strafe, I tap, dropped. I strafe I tap and hold...dropped. EA — I understand the goal is to make winning a Natty feel earned, to build resilience through adversity. But when the game itself is actively working against the player, it’s not challenging — it’s discouraging. There are over 300K user accounts across Upperclassmen, Sophomore, and Freshman tiers. I’d bet most won’t return to Road to the CFP because it feels like you can’t win by just playing fair and straight-up. I’m doing everything right, and it’s not my opponent beating me — it’s the game’s programming. I’ve lost a Natty and another title shot not because of poor play, but because of over-engineered mechanics. We don’t need all this nonsense in the CFP. Let the players decide the outcome — not scripted setbacks. This is exactly why I won’t spend a dime in CUT. What’s the point of grinding if the game won’t let you reach your goals legitimately?

I think before you start the game you have option to make a uniform dark if you are at home that week or light if your not. I also think you should be able to choose start times. You could get three night games each season which would be really cool for some black or white outs. This would be a really nice feature that the fans would love.
