Crashing on PS5
The farthest I got was one drive before I punted before it froze. It freezes every single time I try to play the game even in the menu to pick the teams. This is beyond ridiculous. Most of the time I can't even get one play in before it freezes. It's unplayable. Can we get a refund? Any talk of a patch to fix this?Defensive RTG Teammate Grade Bug
Teammate grade evaporates rendering all defensive RTGs unplayable, the weighted scores for each action seem way off balance and good/great defense rewards don’t seem to be firing 100%. You can barely play RTG after one bad TEAM defensive game, a grade of F means you will be on the bench for 95% of each game going forward. Please fix so we can actually play the game. Missing out on massive progression opportunities, feels like I’ve wasted my pre order skill point bonus b/c I can’t see the field.Coach Suggestions Not Working After Rating Plays on Custom Playbooks
This is occurring on every mode, or every mode I tried including Dynasty, Play Now, & Online Head to Head. My hope is that this is a first patch fix because folks are putting in hours and hours working on rating plays in custom playbooks only for it to have no positive effect during play calling. On '25, I made a custom book and rated every play for every situation(1st down, 2nd and short, 2 minute offense, etc) The result was... When using Coach Suggestions, it worked perfectly giving me an array of plays for each situation. Even if I had a bunch of plays rated for one situation and some higher than others, it did a great job of mixing them up, like it was algorithmic based or something. Whatever it was, EA knocked that feature out of the park, it was fantastic. I did the same thing on '26, and took my custom book into multiple games in multiple modes, and it appears to be just suggesting the same exact plays every time, based on the highest rated plays. Can we get this resolved?Team builder Dynasty issues.
@ea I haven’t been able to play a full game yet, because all of my dynasty games keep crashing. I successfully pulled my team builder teams over. Edited my rosters set my recruits and lineups but can’t even complete on dynasty game.. please fix this this is not a issue that should be happening especially when I paid for the early access but can’t even play a full game in dynasty. That’s ridiculous that something like this is even an issue don’t release a game that isn’t fully ready but it’s ready your your creaters that you want to promote the game. Again I paid for early access and can’t even finish a game. I’ve tried three different dynasty two with team builder rosters and one with a normal school. Anyone else having this issue?Key Moments onside kicks
I've had a lot of issues with recommended plays, sometimes only giving me one or two options. However the by far most troubling issue has been key moments onside kicks. When simming, it will prompt me when an opponent is kicking an onside kick. However, if I try to jump in, it will not allow me to select any plays. It completely removes all plays, and auto selects regular kickoff return, forcing you to lose the possession.10-Man Formation Glitch and Subsequent Crashing
Exactly as it sounds. I’ve been using the Rice Playbook in Dynasty mode, both as an offensive coordinator and as a head coach using first Rice and then BYU. In the Rice Playbook, when using the Pistol formation “Flexbone Trips”, the halfback may not appear in the backfield, instead popping into the wingback position where a tight end would normally be in other formations. This itself is not the issue, as that is where a wingback is supposed to be. However, there should be a running back in the backfield in line behind the quarterback as well. This results in a 10 man formation (3 Wide Receivers + 5 Offensive Linemen + 1 Wingback + 1 Quarterback = 10). This glitch most frequently pops up when running either Triple Option or Smash out of this formation. Upon snapping the ball with this 10-man formation, after about 1 second, the game crashes and closes out. I’m playing on PlayStation 5 on the digital copy of the standard edition. I would say this glitch happens frequently but not 100% of the time. Occasionally a running back will pop up for a legal 11 man formation, or the 10 man formation won’t cause the game to crash, but it is an issue that most recently has forced me out of the same game 5 separate times. I have seen it occur varying between this high frequency or played an entire season without it happening. I suspect but cannot confirm that it has something to do with wear and tear forcing whatever player is in the wingback slot to sub out of the game, moving the player usually in the halfback position to the wingback position and then not putting in that player’s backup at the halfback position because that player is unaffected by wear and tear. This is merely speculation, but it seems a reasonable explanation for what is going on. Attached is a screenshot of what the 10 man formation looks like (the tenth is a wide receiver just out of view, out wide on the left hand side of the formation). Weirdly enough, upon entering a game, the formation “Flexbone Trips” is actually named “Wingback Trips”. In fact, looking at Rice’s playbook under the Custom Playbook menu shows all pistol formations that in game are marked as “Wingback” formations are instead marked as “Flexbone” formations. I tried to replicate this glitch immediately upon entering a game with a new team, however all 11 players appeared on the field when doing so, leading me to believe that this is in fact tied to wear and tear in some capacity. I would appreciate a remedy to this glitch as attempting to use this formation can potentially result in a loss of progress and make the game unplayable.
