College Football 26 Launch & Updates
Hey College Football 26 fans! Finally everyone gets to enjoy our labor of love. We’re reading a ton of feedback, checking into streams, and watching your content. You might even see us drop some codes in streams over the weekend! We're here to share some info around some of the gameplay discussions we’re seeing so far. This may not be every little thing, but stick with us - there’s a lot of people playing the game now! First up, kicking some field goals! We have seen some players encounter a rare issue with being unable to kick a field goal. We have confirmed this rare issue only happens if your kicker is left-footed and if the kick was going to be blocked. We’ll get this one addressed for you in a future Title Update. Next up, we’re seeing conversation around two specific gameplay topics: stiff arms being overly effective and pass protection. As the game just hit worldwide launch for a ton of players, we are currently gathering more data on effectiveness of the stiff arm. We always want ball carrier moves to be fun and effective and for the stiff arm in particular, you can always flick the right stick down to counter with a “Cut Stick” which takes out the ball carrier's legs. While we see the sweet highlights and conversation - in the background we’re gathering the data, but there is a built-in counter to the stiff arm, so try that out for us. Head into practice mode and hit one hundred cut sticks before bed! Pass protection received a major overhaul in College Football 26 and we wanted to focus on a few key reminders about how our pass pro now works: Authenticity: All pass plays now come set up with unique pass protections on a per play basis. If you’re calling plays and feeling like your line is sliding to a side without you doing any inputs, that is intended. That is how pass protection would be set by default for that specific play call. Lets roll through some examples: Under Center: Set to base protection by default. Gun: ‘Empty’ protection if all pass eligible targets are out on a route. HB on a Check & Release: Default is set to half-slide away from HB PA Pass: Half-slide away from play fake Responsiveness: Protection on the Fly Protection on the Fly lets you quickly set your pass pro with a flick of the right-stick. Flick left once for a half-slide left and double flick left for a full slide. Control: Un-Target Defender With our pass protection mechanics, you can also just flick up on the right-stick to un-target a defender. Why would you ever do this? It’ll allow you to strategically leave a defender unblocked that’s optimal for your play call vs the formation front. Maybe you’re playing against another user and they’re mugging the gap or maybe you find a gnarly screen play and don’t want your line to chip a specific player. After all, you are the shot caller of your pass protection scheme. So lets say you call Z Spot out of Gun Doubles Y Off. This is a 2x2 formation with the HB on a swing route. By default, your protection is set to ‘Empty’ - even if you block your HB, your pass protection is still set to ‘Empty’, so you'll potentially want to think about making an additional adjustment with your pass protection depending on the defensive look or flow of the game. Of course you can always call a play, pull up the pass protection (L1/LB) and then set the protection to base protection - which may be what you’re used to if you played last year, that was primarily our default protection. Y’all know ball, we trust you. Just be sure to check your pass pro for us via Coach Cam (R2/RT) before snapping the ball. One last thing since we mentioned snapping the ball. We’re seeing some players encounter a rare issue where they are unable to snap the ball occasionally. We have investigated this issue and are working to address it as soon as possible. In our investigation, you can hit this rare issue when you’re at the line of scrimmage and hit RT/R2 + Up on the right-stick and then release them both simultaneously. If you happen to hit this, we are seeing a successful workaround with repeatedly pressing B/Circle several times or attempting another Pass Protection adjustment with LB/L1. This one is for sure on our radar and is a top priority to address. As mentioned earlier, this isn’t everything we are tracking just some of the key gameplay topics. Keep playing, keep enjoying, and keep sharing with us. Thank you all for being incredibly passionate about our game and the wonderful world of college football!Season 6 Missing Trophies/Rewards
I'm having issues season 6. I've completed quite a number of the Field Pass objectives for season 6 (all my dailies (regular and spring break), weeklies, qualifiers, milestones, etc.) and haven't received any of my trophies for them. My daily objectives haven't reset since Thursday and it's technically Sunday morning. I should be around at LEAST 4k+ trophies and have been stuck at 500 trophies since the new season began 🫤. I don't even see the trophy icon up there. Please help and award the trophies I've earned. Otherwise there's zero point in investing time into this game if it's broken and not rewarding me for the time and work I've invested.Improvement for dragon age the Veilguard.
I want to have the dragonage character creation to have more characters allowed then three. I have played every dragon age game and only the Veilguard limits the characters allowed. I want to play every race and class allowed but don't want to delete one to create a new one. Plus I would also like a new game plus mode added to. Does anyone else feel the same?CFB 26 Crashes RTG !!!!!!
Come on EA, you guys have to give us sometype of response or something. Alot of us paid for the early release and its a slap in the face at this point that we cant play without disruption. I created a RTG runningback and cant even use him or start another RTG player because of the game crashing. I have tried all trouble shooting that i’ve researched and still nothing works. If its going to be all of these problems, I would rather just get a refund and wait for something better to come out. Come on now EA, help us help you!Teambuilder Dynasty
So, I paid 100 dollars for pre-release! Cool, team builder was up and running, created my team, cool. Played the entire first season, had so much fun and it was awesome! Got some good recruits and now in the second season, game is crashes every game. I'm an OG NCAA 14 player and fan and love this series through thick and thin but not being able to play my team builder dynasty for almost two weeks now really is a huge turn off and I'm starting to really dislike it alot! Come on EA, what are we doing? Like seriously!Fix the Teambuilder logo and field issue
We understand that sadly all you care about is ultimate team, but for the love of god, fix this now, EA. It’s broken for everyone, for over a week now. When loading a new team or making any updates to an already created team, upon uploading to the game, the logo shows as a white square and the field is completely white, no yard lines, markings, etcSolvedProblem with rewards and Objectives reset in Qualifier Season 6

Why aren’t there new weeklies or milestones this week? I’m not even going to reach level 50 by just doing the dailies and there’s only 13 days left. I play 5 days a week and still not going to reach it, that’s insane. I’ve finished every single weekly and milestone this season and not going to get it. Is this a bug or what?Dragon Age: The Veilguard Journal #14
Hey, Rooks! New Trial with EA Play Try out Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s new demo Hey everyone, A timed trial of Dragon Age: The Veilguard releases on all platforms today for anyone with an EA Play* subscription! We’re excited to share this opportunity to experience the game with more people this holiday season. If you’ve been looking for a demo to try out the game before you buy, now is your chance, especially while the game is on sale. It’s the perfect time to grab TIME’s #1 Game of 2024. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the newest installation in the beloved fantasy RPG Dragon Age franchise. You play as Rook, a customizable character, on a journey with your mentor, Varric, and his team to stop elven gods from destroying the world. The timed trial concludes after five hours of play. You’ll start right at the beginning with the opportunity to create your Rook and fight alongside series-favorite Varris Tethras through a chaotic moment in Minrathous, a city which has been long-spoken about in Dragon Age but never seen until now. Your team is trying to stop Solas’ tumultuous ritual, which threatens to flood the world in demons and cause massive devastation. Along the way, you’ll meet a few of Rook’s companions who will open up a wealth of new combat options as you progress through the trial. If you don’t spend too long in our in-depth Character Creator, you may get as far as recruiting the Veil Jumper Bellara, our elven artifact expert, along your journey. If you’re a Character Creator aficionado like many of us but don’t want that to cut into your five hour trial, we recommend you check out the stand alone Character Creator we released on Dragon Age Day to make your Rook first**. You can take your time to perfect your Rook, as there is no time limit for the stand alone Character Creator. We’ve ensured that you can import your customized Rook from there into the timed trial. When creating your Rook, there will be an “import” button to use any pre-created Rooks from the same device/console. Before you begin, we have multiple blogs and guides to help so you can maximize your time within the trial, covering some overall tips, progression, combat, and our accessibility options. We have three classes - Mage, Rogue, and Warrior - to choose from, and lots of options to make sure you can play the game your way, from difficulty level to our skill tree that you can respec at any time in case you want to try out new techniques. Start by picking the class that resonates with you most and have fun exploring all they have to offer. Here are a few resources we recommend reading through ahead of getting started: Overview & Tips Progression Guide Combat Spotlight Accessibility Spotlight We’ve also worked with some excellent content creators within our community to make class and build guides! The 9 BEST Early Builds for all 3 classes in Dragon Age The Veilguard For those of you getting into the trial, we hope you enjoy the latest chapter in the Dragon Age series and experience what critics are calling “a high fantasy romp fueled by fast, fluid combat” (EMPIRE) and “one of the year’s best” (Rolling Stone) in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Make sure your platform account is linked to your EA Play account in order to access the trial! We have loved seeing the community’s reaction to Dragon Age: The Veilguard and sharing this adventure with all of you.
