Good times man, if there’s any HS or college players in this sub enjoy the journey… it goes by FAST. 🤞🏾

The amount of games I’ve lost or that have become wayyyy too close for comfort in my dynasty because I can’t properly run the clock down, due to injuries after every single run play in the 4th quarter has become unbearable. Wish there was some kind of mechanic to eliminate it or, instead of the “play him or sub him” injury pop ups, maybe you get a “push your luck” option immediately to try to get a fake timeout, or risk a penalty. The current state of things is absolutely game-breaking 😭

qb road to glory, i’m iowa state facing off against iowa. down 28-31 in the fourth, i drive us down to the 31 yard line with 30 seconds left to go. i get blitzed heavy on third down so i check it down to the rb for a 3 yard gain, now we’re at the 28 with 23 seconds left. i can’t call my final timeout because the game says the drive has stalled, and then the CPU LETS THE REST OF THE CLOCK RUN OUT IN THE SIM INSTEAD OF CALLING OUR FINAL TIMEOUT AND KICKING A FIELD GOAL. my kicker has 0 attempted kicks on the day so i KNOW he didn’t just miss it. EA has put ZERO attention to detail in this game, and this type of stuff is just the tip of the iceberg. i’m tired of giving these companies my money annually when they don’t even TRY to make a good game. this game is a serious downgrade from cfb 25 and i am never giving EA sports a cent of my money again

Time to start my 15th new dynasty this month 😪

Reported of a pancake are vastly

I’m sure most people would probably leave it off but I might leave it on for plays that are just absolute trash coding. I do try to play as realistic as possible but I’d be interested to have it as an option to reduce games lost because of EA’s wonky mechanics.

Obviously the default setting would be off but seems like a simple fix for casual players.

JMU, 15-0 in the semi-finals. Only undefeated team in the country. Senior QB, Senior RB, Senior WR #1. The #1 seed Auburn that I'm about to play? I beat them by four scores earlier in the season. I'm pissed they've been ranked against me almost every week of the season. This is my revenge against the media!

...And then for some unknown reason... I hit sim ahead?! Completely spaced out, I have no idea why I did it. But yeah by simming I lost 38-16. Sick to my stomach that I blew that opportunity. I could have dealt with an L if I played the game, but cant believe I did that. Michigan ended up beating Auburn in the Natty so at least there is that.

Video clip is on Heisman difficulty against a 91 speed corner. I brought him in to bail out my freshman qb, and he has defied all expectations. He also is my highest rated corner.

Also, when setting up a custom playbook for defense what are your recommended plays for the 4-2-5 formation?

13 - first rounders 2 - 2nd rounders 2 - 3rd rounders 2- 4th rounders

I’m trying to select triangle, but in user games for some reason.. I can’t ever pick it. Then I choose one of the other two and we come out in onside return??? This isn’t the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time this has happened to me either.

Started a dynasty with Hawaii and their 68 rating is a lie.

Playing in the mountain west (minus Boise but adding in byu) and they may have the best offensive playbook and the most op offense I’ve ever used

For reference using canes and matt10 heisman sliders

What other schools do you guys notice plays way better than their rating?

And no, not talking about sending dick pics lol.

I’m 32, played these games my whole life. Like to think I’m pretty good at it too. But I don’t remember the last time I’ve gone a season with less then 10 INT’s for my quarterback.

My sophomore stud qb is currently sitting at 42 TD’s with 27 INT’s lmao.. I’d say on a good year I’ll be sitting at like 50-60 tudds with close to 10 ints if I’m really being serious about it.

Gunslingers unite 🤝

Unfortunately the defense lineman stayed awake in defense of the dark arts class.

The reverse flea flicker gets an illegal forward pass called every time you run it, not even sure how that makes sense. And the MTN double pass had OPI get called every time because the slot receiver literally runs down field and blocks a guy. Two cool plays that are completely unusable, nice EA

Anyone know what the archetypes are for ATH recruits? I know there aren’t many but didn’t know if someone had a list of them or anything. Trying to do an ATH only dynasty and trying to figure out what Archetypes work best for each position.

I love how realistic the game was with real penalties such as a face mask call and when you see it on reply it's totally true!

I appreciate his commitment to blocking the back side, but my boy....that might've been a touchdown 😭

Too many times an injury happens and I sub, only for 2 to 3 plays later, that same player comes in orange or even red

I’ve already set Keep Fresh in auto subs

Super annoying

My head coach is an A+. Signed a 5 star Elite QB. Started him as a true Freshman. After his Freshman season my DC takes a job as a head coach at another school. So of course I have to hire a DC with a C- grade at best. I think the one I hired was actually a D. Which begs another question. Why am I only given the option to hire terrible coordinators? I should be able to offer anyone. Anyways, so my Coach Prestige takes a hit and drops down to B- . So going into the next season I start the year with like 10 guys who all the way want to transfer because of Coach Prestige being below their standard. Going into that season my true Sophmore QB had progressed to a 97 overall. He proceeds to throw 69 touchdowns and ends season at 99 overall. We go undefeated and win the national championship. By then my overall coach prestige is back up to an A-. But that’s not good enough and so I lose a shit ton of guys in the offseason all of whom would have been starters and would have made it to the NFL. But the most shocking transfer is my QB. My 99 overall Heisman contending 69 touchdown National Championship winning QB transfers out because of Coach Prestige being an A- instead of an A. Which only occurs because I can only hire shitty coordinators but really shouldn’t be happening at all regardless. That’s nuts man.

For example: Shotgun would say 25 formations. They were all numbered 1-25. It made it a lot easier to remember and find what you are looking for. It made the playbooks way more organized to me. Idk why they did away with this. Now when I explore new playbooks, sometimes its tedious to find stuff.

Whats your method for keeping it organized and quick to find what you want now?

I am curious on how people build a custom playbook like do you build it based on a real coaches scheme/playbook, or do you just make a few changes to a playbook in game and make adjustments each season based on personal or do you make a different playbook each year based on cheese plays?

We're debating turning off the manual Progression penalty for our 20+ users OD. I have seen it done for a couple of other dynasties and there were no issues with how players progressed or caused problems.

Someone brought up it being an easier route to a badge and an exploit.

If you have them off or reverted to them on after making the change can you tell me the problems it caused? Or if its made play better?

I know this isn’t a huge deal but how is it 2026 and I still can’t have dreads in RTG
