College Football 27 Team Builder – Stadium Builder Freezes and Crashes
Every time I open the Stadium & Field section in Team Builder, the page freezes before I can make any edits. In most cases, I can’t even type a stadium name into the name field. The page becomes completely unresponsive and then crashes. What Happens I log into Team Builder successfully. I open my custom team. I click on Stadium & Field. The Stadium Builder begins to load. The page freezes before I can interact with it. After several seconds, the browser crashes or the page becomes unusable. What Works The rest of Team Builder works normally, including: Creating and editing uniforms Uploading logos Editing team information Importing a stadium Changing stadium sounds Editing stadium triggers The problem only occurs when trying to use the actual Stadium Builder editor. Devices Tested I have tested this on multiple devices and experienced the same issue: ASUS Chromebook (Chrome browser) iPad Air (Safari and Microsoft Edge) Since the problem occurs on different devices, it appears to be related to the Stadium Builder rather than a single device. Troubleshooting Attempted Restarted the devices Tried different browsers Tried Microsoft Edge Attempted on multiple devices Attempted after importing a stadium Cleared browser data (or plan to) The issue still occurs consistently. Expected Behavior I should be able to enter the Stadium Builder, type my stadium name, customize the stadium, save my changes, and continue editing my Team Builder school. Actual Behavior The Stadium Builder freezes before I can make any changes, making it impossible to customize my stadium. I would appreciate it if this issue could be investigated, as Stadium Builder is one of the main features I was looking forward to using. Thank you.
Save Options, Memory Boost, Free Content, and More
Update 7.21.2026 PC: 1.126.58.1030 / Mac: 1.126.58.1230 Console: 2.36 Sul sul, treasured Simmers with precious digital lives. Save Gnome here. Yes. That Save Gnome. The one entrusted with the sacred duty to protect your progress. AT ALL COSTS. The Sims 4 now has Autosave across all platforms! It works quietly and vigilantly. You may notice a gentle little “Autosaving” message while you play. That’s me. Dutifully guarding. Preventing tragedy. But wait! I have more! There are also… SAVE REMINDERS. Completely configurable, just like the new Autosave options. Turn them on, and I shall appear at intervals of your choosing to gently firmly lovingly insist that you save your game. All it takes is one click. Sweet, beautiful security. While I was polishing your save files, we also made some memory improvements for smoother gameplay and addressed a few community-requested fixes. Now for another bit of good news! We've added free, culturally inspired accessories influenced by Caribbean, Indigenous, Latin American, and South Asian cultures. You'll find eight new Starter Sims in Create a Sim and the Gallery wearing them. They are ready for you to shape their stories. Coach is back! We know you loved the first drop, so we partnered with Coach again to bring 4 brand new items in the Coach Repurposed Capsule, bringing even more timeless style to your Sims. Head to the Marketplace to download it for free! Then, for the musically-inclined Sims who enjoy listening to their favorite songs, or getting in “tune” with their creative spirit (pun intended) - it’s time to turn on the stereo, strike some keys, and strum a guitar to your favorite melody with The Sims 4 Music Den Kit. This retro-futurist inspired space is sure to be the ultimate sonic sanctuary. Now then. Open your game. Build boldly. Style freely. Live dramatically. And always remember: Save often. The Save Gnome What’s New? AutoSave and Save Reminders From big life moments to everyday chaos, every Sim story deserves to be saved. Today, we're introducing AutoSave and Save Reminders to help protect your progress while you play. Whether you're spending hours in Build Mode or guiding your Sims through their next adventure, these new features make it easier to keep your stories safe so you can focus on what comes next. AutoSave works quietly in the background, automatically creating save points at key moments while you play. You can customize when AutoSave happens in Save Settings, with options like saving after traveling between lots, after a period of playtime, or at important gameplay milestones. If you'd rather stay in control, Save Reminders like the friendly (or slightly grumpy) gnome notification below can prompt you to create a manual save at the frequency you choose. Together, these features help reduce the risk of lost progress while giving you the flexibility to save the way you want. Two grumpy save-reminder gnomes in red hats and glasses, each holding up a blue floppy-disk icon, in a playful, chaotic style Memory Boost is Coming to all Platforms Whether you're playing with a bustling household, building your dream home, or returning to a save that's been with you for years, smoother gameplay means more time enjoying your stories. That's why we're introducing Memory Boost in today’s update across all platforms. Memory Boost improves how The Sims 4 manages memory while you play, helping deliver a smoother experience with reduced lag, improved frame rates and responsiveness, shorter loading times, and a lower risk of memory-related crashes. Players may notice the biggest improvements during longer play sessions, in large households, on highly decorated lots, and in older save files. While Memory Boost isn't a dedicated save repair feature, it can also improve save stability and help reduce some memory-related save issues. Want to learn more? Read our deep dive on Memory Boost. 8 New CAS Starter Sims & Accompanying Accessories In our continued efforts to increase diversity and representation within The Sims, we’ve expanded the pool of Sims that appear when you first enter Create a Sim, because every story starts with a Sim. Inspired by Caribbean, Indigenous, Latin American, and South Asian cultures, we’ve added eight Sims and eight culturally inspired accessories to bring more variety to the stories you create from the very beginning. The eight new accessories (one for each new Sim) feature details such as turquoise jewelry, bangles, cowrie shell bracelets, and woven bracelets. These additions bring heartfelt touches to these new Sims, while adding more exciting accessory options for you to express your Sims’ unique style and personality. For those eager to welcome these new faces into their world, you can also download them directly from the Maxis Gallery page.

In this update, we’re adding “Nordhaven Hobby Meetups” as an additional option that is available to toggle off. We've also removed the "Sugary Cravings" and other Businesses and Hobbies Expansion Pack related notification pop-ups to help further reduce TNS spam. An image of the Sims 4 Game Options menu that shows all Festival Notifications, including the new Nordhaven Hobby Meetups toggle, which reads, “Enables notifications for Meetups in Nordhaven" Marketplace Quick Buy Now Available on PlayStation! The Quick Buy feature detailed in our June 30th update is now available for Simmers on PlayStation consoles. New Swatches for the Stove, YumCooker (Used)! For players who own the City Living Expansion pack, we’ve added a few new swatches per your feedback. In the past, we added new swatches to the Basegame YumCooker stove, but we didn’t update the grungy City Living Expansion version. We’ve now added the same swatches (but grungy) to the City Living YumCooker (Used) stove. Enjoy! An image of the Sims 4 City Living Expansion Pack’s “The YumCooker (Used)” oven. On the left, the image shows the three original swatches in yellow, green, and grey that came with this oven. On the right, are the three new swatches in the colors: pink, light blue, and black. They are highlighted with a square with the words, “3 New Swatches” overhead. Fixes for Most Voted Issues: [EA Forums] We've done extensive testing around ‘Corrupted Lots appearing in saves with a lot of Residential Rentals.’ This has been the top “Save Corruption” issue reported that we’ve been tracking. Using Memory Boost (which is now available for all players with this patch) we are no longer able to reproduce this issue on any of the saves we've collected. As we’ve addressed all other reports in this EA Forums thread, we’ll be closing the thread, but are watching for more feedback since reports like this are very hardware dependent and might vary depending on user setup. There are some remaining visual issues we’ve noticed with the UI when a player had mods installed in a previous save but then removed them. [EA Forums] We’ve resolved an issue where parts of a roof, or entire roof sections, could disappear when viewing upper floors in Build Mode. Roof pieces should now remain visible and render correctly regardless of the selected floor level. [EA Forums] We addressed a crash that could occur after playing for a few Sim hours relating to caching. We fixed a game crash that could occur after interacting with a Sim that was a member of the active Household. Technical Notes for Modders: Patch Note Note for Modders We've removed the "Sugary Cravings" and other Small Business related TNS pop-ups from Business and Hobbies to help furtherreduce TNS spam. Removed the loot from Motive_Hunger Last patch we added new Festival TNS Toggles in the Options menu. For this patch, we added a new one for Nordhaven Hobby Meetups. Added the new option to festival_notification_options_tuning and the test itself onto DialogDramaNode_HobbyMeetup We've done testing around Corrupted Lots appearing in saves with a lot of Residential Rentals. Using Memory Boost (which is now available for all players and activated) we are no longer able to reproduce this issue on any of the saves we've collected. The issue is fixed by enabling memory boost mode. With memory boost we can decode larger data blocks than before. Enabled memory boost mode for all platforms, including PC, Mac, Xbox and PlayStation. Memory boost is forced to be enabled for all platforms, including PC, Mac, Xbox and PlayStation. With memory boost we can decode larger data blocks than before. Also removed memory boost related UI toggle from the option menu. We fixed a game crash that could occur after interacting with a Sim that was a member of the active Household. This fix updates internal Sim cache and Sim state handling to better validate incomplete or invalid cached Sim build data during gameplay interactions and extended play sessions. It improves cleanup and failure handling around cached Sim appearance-related state so bad cache states are handled safely instead of asserting and crashing. Mods that manipulate Sim appearance, outfit/state rebuilds, or other flows that force cached Sim data to refresh should review this area. No tuning, catalog, UI, or Python assets were changed, and QA marked the fix as retroactive. We addressed a crash that could occur after playing for a few Sim hours relating to caching. This fix improves internal handling of cached Sim build/state data in cases where gameplay progresses for several in-game hours and a save reaches an invalid or incomplete Sim cache state. The update adds safer validation, cleanup, and failure handling around cached Sim appearance/build data so those bad states are less likely to escalate into asserts or crashes during normal play. Mods that interact with Sim appearance data, outfit/build refreshes, attachment updates, or other lifecycle-sensitive Sim cache flows should review this area. No tuning, catalog, UI, or Python assets were changed. In the past, we added new swatches to the YumCooker Basegame stove. We’ve now added the same swatches to the City Living YumCooker (Used) grungy variant stove. Added new variants to the YumCooker (Used) model.

Adding More Option To Duce Formations
I love that EA added Gun Wingback/Flexbone Close out of Duce Close formation but wondering why not a Gun Wingback/ Flexbone Normal and Twins out of Duce formations as well? I hope at least EA can add some more motion and Slot triple option along with Some Speed Option to Close Duce. Maybe add a package in Duce Close where one or both of the Wingback are off the line at a Slot position similar to Duce normal and have a jet series, even some motion triple option from that look. Another idea is to add a jet Sweep series after the snap, similar to Gun Slot Tight. Hopefully EA takes all this into consideration. Thanks.
0.31.5 Patch Notes
Welcome to the 0.31.5 patch notes. Before you dig into the bug fixes and feature updates launching with this update, take a look at our X Games San Van article for a full overview of the event. New Feature Skater Codes Use new Skater Codes to add friends! The Social menu has been updated with a new Find Skaters hub, accessible from every social screen. Here you can enter a 6-digit Skater Code, search by username, or view and refresh your own Skater Code in one place. Those who haven't created a code will be prompted to generate one, and once generated, their Skater Code is displayed across all social screens for quick sharing. A new Skater Code Visibility setting lets you hide or show your code in the UI, making it easy to keep private while streaming or recording. Feature Updates Missions & Early Game Experience Updated the early game experience to help new skaters jump into the action faster and make the onboarding flow more flexible. After completing the Flip Trick Course on Grom, you will now be teleported directly into San Van. The Full Pull Tour AR Path has been removed, you now start in Hartcore Plaza. After completing Ripping for Chips, you’ll now choose to continue with Spots and How to Own Them or head straight to our X Games event. Both paths are fully supported, allowing new skaters to return and complete the introductory mission after they explore X Games if they choose that route first. Veteran skaters who have already completed Spots and How to Own Them, and log in after the X Games event has begun, will be automatically teleported to the Stadium so they can jump directly into the event. From-Air Footplants From-Air Footplants have been fully overhauled. Their animation and timing, control, momentum preservation and pop height, integration with other trick systems, and reliability across a wider range of gameplay situations has been improved. Below is a list of the specific improvements that were made: Revamped From-Air Footplant animation and timing. Improved pop height consistency out of From-Air Footplants. Improved alignment to better support slopes and varied surfaces. From-Air Footplants now function reliably on rails and across a wider range of gameplay situations. Improved foot placement during From-Air Footplants. Updated momentum preservation during From-Air Footplants. Reworked From-Air Footplant wipeout conditions. Added Left Joystick directional control out of From-Air Footplants. Spinning into an From-Air Footplant now influences when you spin out. Bodyflips can now land into From-Air Footplants. Ground Footplants can now transition quickly into an From-Air Footplant. Front-Air Footplants can now be chained, with diminishing strength, to reduce infinite sequences. Transition Air Out to Lip or Flat We’ve made improvements so that Transition Air Out to Lip or Flat will behave more reliably. Developer’s Note: This behaviour happens when you hold the Left Stick up to air out to the lip or top of transition ramps. We found that it wasn't behaving very reliably, which limited being able to do From-Air Footplants from transition airs. This is also a small step towards improving transition skating, which is another area where we'd like to push for continued improvements in future updates. Pumping Consistency Improved pumping and consistency in a variety of situations. Developer’s Note: We know pumping needs some work. This includes some consistency fixes to help pumping feel more reliable, and we'll continue to look into pumping improvements for future updates. Pumping and Grab Feedback on Controllers Added Adaptive Trigger support for Pumping and Grab inputs on supported controllers. Included as a toggle in Accessibility Settings. Camera Behavior Smoothed out several other camera behaviors in a variety of situations like mounts, Footplants, drop-ins, kick turns, big airs, rollers, climbing and more. Quick Drop Objects The UI flow to block or report a player from Quick Drops via Inspect Player has become easier to navigate. Blocking another player will disable interactivity with all of their objects and prevent social interactions. The Inspect Player menu is now easier to access when viewing objects in the world. Inaccessible objects can be inspected from Quick Drop directly. Area of Interest Pin Added a new Area of Interest Pin to the map to make it easier for skaters to discover important locations and events, like X Games San Van. You can select the pin to open an info panel and place a Waypoint or Fast Travel to the location. Social Menu The Social Menu layout has changed from horizontal to vertical navigation. Social Settings can be accessed through a new option in the button bar, or through the new Social menu in the Settings HUB. VO X-Games Pro skater Dashawn Jordan reacts dynamically to your skating—wiping out, ignoring the rules, and clutching wins. Dashawn calls you up when you’re dominating in-game leaderboards. Meetups: Block Parties Starting August 7, an in-world announcer will help you track down events before they start and while they're active. Audio cues will keep you hyped and informed as events kick off, switch rounds, move to new locations, and wrap up. Audio A new song—Wygdbi by Dashawn Jordan—has been added in celebration of the X Games event. Use the Grabster feature to discover and collect this track. Bug Fixes Gameplay Fixed an issue where doing a Boned Ollie would cause future flip tricks to play an incorrect catch and landing animation. Fixed an issue where reverting after a grind would cause an unnatural speed boost. Developer’s note: Fixing this issue also necessarily meant fixing speed glitches that could occur when landing into reverts. Fixed various issues where the camera’s height would unintentionally toggle between High and Low settings. Fixed an issue where the camera would not update to the skater's direction when mounting. Fixed an issue where returning to a Lip Mount session marker could result in a severe launch glitch. Fixed an issue where From-Air Footplants were not ending scoring as intended.

PvZ3 State of the Lawn - Content Update 3 (CU3)
Hey Conifer Crew! 🌲 An angry tree, icy shards, cheese armor, zombie cowboys, and flying octopuses! All that and more is in Content Update 3 (CU3), which brings a new Plant Pass, new plants, new zombies to thwart, new levels, and bug fixes. What’s Sprouting in CU3? Snow Conifer Plant Pass! 🌲 Snow Conifer might not be the coldest plant temperature-wise, but one mean look from it, and even Zombies might find themselves frozen in fear. Besides looking mean, Snow Conifer attacks with ice-cold shards up to 5 tiles forward, and they can pierce up to 4 zombies/obstacles. Snow Conifer has shed a few extra leaves since its Seedling Build appearance, including its overhead counterattack. Turns out covering every angle was a little too effective, so it's now focused on freezing foes ahead while continuing to block aerial projectiles. This (zombie) spine-chilling conifer can be created by merging a Jumbrella Leaf and Iceweed, who will also be available in this Plant Pass! Iceweed can be made by merging an Iceberg Lettuce and Spikeweed giving you the best of both worlds: slow em’ and spike em’! The Snow Conifer Plant Pass goes live on July 22nd! New Threats Are Approaching… This new Plant Pass introduces the Magma Zombie as the featured Zombie. If these chunky and cheesy zombies are good at one thing, it's that they never forget to weight train. Because when you’re wearing half a ton of hot curds, you don’t really have a choice. If you have the misfortune of a Magma Zombie stumbling onto your lawn, keep your cool and your freezing plants handy. This Zombie might look cute, but he’s ready to throw hands! Riding in on Boppy is the Counter Punch Zombie, who is always looking for a reason to start swinging! Boppy wonders if giving Counter Punch Zombie a ride was a mistake. Be careful and keep your melee plants away from him lest you incur his fists of fury. If something smells fishy, you’d better run for cover because you’re about to meet the Shocktopus! This aerial aquanaut Zombomination will not only leave trails of ink behind to hinder your plants, but also chuck ink at your house! At least we won’t go broke buying printer ink now. If you see this odorous octopus in the air, be sure to lob everything you have at it. Hot Off The Press… 📖 This update also brings Issue #5, continuing the story and adding a bunch of new levels across multiple modes: +25 Adventure levels (Available July 22nd) +5 Volcano Expedition levels (Available July 29 @ 10AM PT) 20 Lawn Patrol levels New Limited Time Event: Forest Fired-Up!

The Path to the Ultimate College Football Simulation
First, thank you for your continued support of College Football 27 and for listening to community feedback. The foundation you’ve built is outstanding. The goal should be clear: build the ultimate college football simulation. EA has already created one of the deepest player evaluation systems in sports gaming. Every player has unique ratings, archetypes, physical abilities, mental abilities, and attributes that are designed to separate elite talent from average talent. The next evolution is ensuring those systems consistently drive gameplay. Ratings should matter. Player abilities should matter. Football mechanics should matter. Animations should faithfully reflect those outcomes—not determine them. College football is a game of talent, preparation, leverage, strength, technique, positioning, awareness, football IQ, and execution. Those elements should decide every matchup. When gameplay consistently reflects those fundamentals, recruiting matters, roster building matters, player development matters, matchups matter, and user skill is rewarded. Run Defense & Pursuit Improve pursuit angles, run fits, leverage, and gap integrity. Safeties and defenders should pursue based on their Pursuit, Awareness, Play Recognition, Speed, Tackling, and abilities. Reduce unrealistic over-pursuit, poor pursuit paths, and defenders being sealed too easily on the edge. Tackle outcomes should reflect leverage, positioning, momentum, strength, and ratings rather than inconsistent animations. Pass Coverage Improve the consistency of Match, man, and zone coverage. Defensive backs should carry routes, maintain leverage, and react according to their Awareness, Play Recognition, Agility, Change of Direction, coverage ratings, and abilities. Elite defensive backs should consistently separate themselves from average players because of their ratings and football IQ. Defensive AI Improve route recognition, hook/curl drops, flat defenders, linebacker awareness, and overall football intelligence. Smarter defenders should anticipate concepts such as mesh and crossing routes based on Awareness, Play Recognition, and abilities—not delayed reactions. Blocking Offensive and defensive line play should be determined by leverage, strength, hand placement, technique, positioning, ratings, and abilities. Reduce suction blocking and canned interactions. Let trench battles be won by fundamentals and player talent rather than predetermined outcomes. Quarterback Play Quarterback performance should clearly reflect ratings, abilities, mechanics, and decision-making. Elite quarterbacks should consistently separate themselves through Accuracy, Throw Power, Awareness, composure under pressure, and proper footwork. Throws across the body, off-platform, or under pressure should carry realistic consequences based on ratings and mechanics. User Control Improve Switch Stick, player switching, and responsiveness. Defensive success should come from user skill combined with player ratings—not inconsistent player selection or delayed interactions. Tackling Improve wrap-up tackling, gang tackling, pursuit angles, and open-field tackling. Reduce repetitive and magnetic tackle interactions. Tackling should reward leverage, balance, momentum, strength, technique, angles, Tackling ratings, and player abilities. Pass Rush Elite pass rushers should consistently create pressure because of their ratings, abilities, leverage, technique, get-off, and pass-rush mechanics. Elite offensive linemen should counter with their own ratings and abilities, creating authentic one-on-one battles where talent determines the outcome. CPU AI Improve situational awareness, personnel usage, adaptive play-calling, clock management, and fourth-down decisions. CPU teams should play to the strengths and weaknesses of their personnel, creating a more authentic simulation experience. Overall Gameplay Continue reducing outcomes that feel disconnected from player ratings and football fundamentals. Improve physics, momentum, collision detection, foot planting, player movement, and transition animations. Every interaction should feel responsive, authentic, and grounded in football mechanics. Core Philosophy The beauty of college football is that every player is different. A 99-rated All-American should not play like an 85-rated starter. An elite pass rusher should consistently challenge an average offensive tackle. A lockdown corner should win more matchups than an inexperienced defensive back. Great offensive lines should create advantages through technique, communication, and strength. Great defenses should win with discipline, leverage, awareness, and execution. When those differences consistently show up on the field, the ratings system becomes meaningful. The community isn’t asking for perfect outcomes—we’re asking for authentic ones. We want every snap to be influenced first by ratings, player abilities, football mechanics, leverage, strength, technique, positioning, awareness, football IQ, and user execution. Animations should exist to bring those outcomes to life, not replace them. EA has already built one of the most comprehensive ratings and abilities systems in sports gaming. The next step is allowing those systems to truly come alive on the field. The ultimate college football simulation isn’t created by adding more animations. It’s created when ratings, abilities, football mechanics, and physics determine the animations—not the other way around. That philosophy would make every recruit matter, every roster decision matter, every matchup matter, and every game feel like real college football.Can I please just control my players?
I have been playing college football games going back to 2002. One of the things that occasionally drove me mad was getting caught in illogical animations or otherwise not being able to control my players. This was not an issue in CFB 25 or 26. It's back. When I am telling my defensive end to run right and the tackle is pushing him to the right, I should not he FORCED to drive left. I had a play where I got caught in the middle of the line (because the game decided to ignore the assignment and my control inputs). I managed to get up in the QBs face and hit triangle to put my hands up. Nothing. I pressed again... Nothing. I pressed a third time, got a delayed attempt to swat ball but only after the QB threw a 30 yard pass. Game on the line. FG attempt. I get a perfect jump off the line, am about to block it, press square... My guy veaes off and does nothing. Game winning FG At the end of the day I get this isn't going to be perfect... But please stop overriding my controls. Also please fix pass rush. Why does the cpu keep getting through in no time and none of my moves work?Can we get bowl games, unranked match matchmaking
EA thank you for the playbook ability change, TY. Add bowl games in Road to CFP if you go 6-6, 7-5, 8-4. Be cool to play in the Belk Bowl and then just move onto next season. Too much is judged by championship wins. I'd really also like unranked match making in Road to CFP aka Regulars too. Maybe a sperate menu please?????
