CFP Playoff Issues
Repost... 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? Signed, A Frustrated GamerAnother useless update
EA I have no clue who needs to hear this but any update that you all do that does not involve the rosters at this point of the year is useless. You guys are really turning people away from the video game by not keeping the rosters updated very disappointed had a lot of faith that you guys would fix this problem, but it seems that you guys are purposely ignoring us, but I’m sure next year the sales ratings will scream loud enough for you to hear since you guys don’t wanna listen to us nowDoes EA respect its CFB26 gamers ?
Hey EA , at this point idk if you are reading the chats or purposely ignoring the chats, but we are desperately begging for a real Roster update or at least an announcement 📢 idc if it’s not for two weeks from now please tell us if you all will update the rosters or if you guys have quit because of the Saudi Arabia buyout. We still exist. & paid good money for updated rosters or make them editableStill no roster updates
Hello EA, I’m just here to remind you that you guys still have not updated the rosters. There are numerous players that you guys are missing from power five teams and as a real gamer who loves playing EA college football 26 every single day I would love for you guys to update ole Miss roster. LSU’s roster LSU’s defense should be updated. LSU has a quarterback who should be played right back. Ole Miss starting quarterback is not on the game super important Hussein Longstreet from USC is not on the game. He’s a true freshman who is highly recruited so to not see him on the game it’s very disappointing as a real college football fan and if these request cannot be accepted, can we at least have generic players with the same numbers in the same likeness without the last name And can we also allow them to remain editable? Just a simple request that I ask of you all. I’m sure you all are working hard, but please don’t get distracted by uniforms instead get distracted by rosters thank you.Update the rosters please EA
Hello EA just a daily reminder that you guys have not updated the rosters and we would like for you guys to update a numerous amount of teams but for me personally I would love for you to start at LSU by making Juwan Johnson into a running back updating our offense because it clearly sucks Making our defense very good especially our corners. Putting Ole Miss starting quarterback on a video game I don’t understand how he’s not already adding Hussein LongStreet the freshman backup quarterback at USC to the gameStill no Roster or Team update
Why do we still not have a roster or team update. You have teams that are UNRANKED with 89 OVR. And Teams in the top 10 with 85 Overall. Its ridiculous. You also dont even have the correct starting players. THIS IS WHY WE WANT THE GAME. NOT JUST JERSEYS AND LITTLE DETAILS. ITS NEEDS TO BE ACCURATE.New bug: players missing midsection
Ever since the past title update I’ve had the situation where players will have a blank space between their torso and legs and you can see the turf in between. I predominantly notice it with running backs but have seen it happen with other players as well. also, you need to fix several teams socks colors not appearing correctly. Examples Wisconsin doesn’t show red socks, Nebraska doesn’t show black, Michigan I believe was maize, penn state doesn’t show blue but the striped socks show blue, I play dynasty in big 10 so that’s where notice it but I’m sure there are many other teams this doesn’t work for. I also have recently experienced when kicking extra points, the kick button when option is set to double tap doesn't take if you let it fill up . You have to tap it super fast or they have big potential to let it overflow and miss the extra point.
