Team Builder - Technical Issues (PS5 - Gameplay)
These issue is on a PS5 console - College Football 26: When watching/playing a game in "play now mode" between Buffalo Bulls (Home Team) vs Delaware Blue Hens (road team) with the settings event set to Rose Bowl in play now mode at a neutral site; Buffalo Bulls endzone is blue with their team information displayed (which is correct); however the Delaware Blue Hens endzone is red (which is incorrect). Delaware Blue Hens does not have any red colors in their uniform or school colors, this is clearly incorrect and the red endzone which is already the wrong colors for the Delaware Blue Hens does not display their name or schools information in the endzone. It's just a red generic blank endzone for Delaware Bule Hens. (Delaware Blue Hens Colors are blue, yellow and white). These same issues happen when using/selecting Missouri State Bears in "play now mode." The Missouri State Bears endzone is red instead of burgundy and it does not display the team/school's information in the endzone. Also, when attempting to replace those teams with Team Builder teams such as Montana Grizzlies (Road Team with burgundy/silver team colors) vs Montana State Bobcats (Home team with blue and gold team colors), I noticed that when watching/playing with these teams and all other team builder teams in "play now mode" at a neutral site such as the Rose Bowl, both the home team and the away team's endzone only displays "their school colors only" in both endzone and does not display either schools team name/information such as school name or logo's. Despite the schools information being displayed on the new EA scoreboard. Also, the Buffalo Bulls all blue uniforms displays a "yellow Nike check sign" when playing at a neutral site on their jersey which is incorrect. Buffalo Bulls football jersey should display a "white Nike check on their all blue football uniforms. My apologies for my frustration, but what is the point of creating your own team using the team builder's platform in College Football 26 to customize your team, logo's, roster's, gear and stadiums; only to have your hard work and time creating these detailed aspects disappear when you watch/play a neutral site games. I have also noticed about 20-30 other issues with this College Football 26 title, such as when watching a game in "play now mode" Alabama Crimson Tide vs. LSU tigers on 4th and 1 at the 38 yard line in the 1st quarter, Alabama decides to go for the first down by running a 2 wide receiver set with two running backs, and 1 tight end. LSU immediately drops to a prevent defense with only 4 down linemen to rush the quarterback and 7 defensive backs with no Linebackers in the box. This is not a realistic defense. No College football defense on any level on a 4th and 1 play would only rush 4 players and have no other players in the box to stop the run. This makes absolutely no sense. On another occasion, when watching Buffalo Bulls vs UTEP Miners in play now mode, I noticed when UTEP Miners called an audible on offense and switched the play where they ran trips to one side of the field and had no players on the other side of the football field, the Buffalo Bulls automatically shifted their CB, OLB, and Safety to that one side of the football field that had no players, no wide receivers, and no tight end to that side of the field. Essentially you had 3 Buffalo Bulls football players on defense take themselves completely out of the play because the 3 players where on one side of the field stacked in a line not guarding or rushing anyone. This is not how college football is meant to be displayed. These are unrealistic traits and no college football teams react this way on defense. These issues are destroying the enjoyment of College Football 2026. Can you please fix and patch these tedious offline issues in a timely manner. If not, in good conscious I will not be purchasing any future college football titles moving forward. Thank you!
Kennesaw State Bug
Since the update, I have been playing my Teambuilder online dynasty. I am playing at Kennesaw State and it has crashed out at the beginning of the 4th quarter, four consecutive times. As soon as it starts transitioning to the 4th QTR, it crashes out to the PS5 main screen. It is a rain game, at their stadium, in my online dynasty, using my teambuilder team. Very frustrating. I hope this isn't a bigger issue created with the latest update.
Teambuilder Dynasty crashing
When my first Teambuilder Dynasty kept crashing in Week 1 of the second season, I thought it was an issue with that dynasty being prior to the most recent patch updates. However, after grinding through another season (in a new dynasty) and getting excited about my team yet again, my game crashes right before I can celebrate a huge top 10 road win. “Maybe it’s a one off” I thought. Nope the game crashes over and over again. Now I’m left waiting for hopefully an update that will allow me to continue my Teambuilder dynasty instead of playing a cruel version of “Edge of tomorrow” repeating the same game only to never see the end of it. please help EA, Many thanks.Neutral Site Endzones - Teambuilder
I have tried twitter, I've tried the other forums. I just want to know if EA even knows about using teambuilder teams at neutral sites the endzone is either your primary color or just the playoff trophy? It hurts the immersion aspect of the game. I'm not sure if it's an issue where there needs to be generic block text already on the teambuilder website, there's some coding or if EA just doesn't care. I would be perfectly fine if EA came out and said "Hey we know about it, we are working on a way to fix it, it may not be until CFB 27." That would work, but a lot of us regular folks don't get our concerns seen if we aren't content creators essentially. This is something small but would go a long way with your fanbase EA. Pay attention.Teambuilder - facemask bug
Transferred team over from 25 and everything went smoothly. On import none of my chrome facemasks came through. They were the right color but no chrome. Went back into teambuilder, edited them back to normal, saved and redid with chrome. Still nothing, none of my other teams imported with chrome facemasks are working either. Really taking some luster off some uniforms
Constant Crash Team Builder Dynasty
Constant crashing when using Team Builder in Dynasty mode. Offline Dynasty seems more stable so far, but I’ve only played a few games there. With Team Builder, it’s practically unplayable — it crashes almost every time I get a penalty. Occasionally it gets through, but 9 times out of 10 it crashes. I’ve tried all the suggested “fixes” and none of them work. They read like copy-pasted PR statements and don’t actually address the issue. This feels like a deeper code problem. What’s frustrating is the game plays like a slightly updated version of last year’s title, yet it’s somehow more broken. How is that even possible? Is this game even tested on real consoles with different firmware versions? Why not open beta testing earlier and to more players so you can actually catch these issues before launch? Better yet — and here's a wild idea — you had ten years (2014–2024!) to build a new football engine. Even on a skeleton crew and a shoestring budget, someone could’ve delivered a better, more stable, and more innovative game than this rushed mess. Team Builder was the main reason many of us bought this game. Right now, it’s borderline unplayable. Please fix it.
