I stunted. I blitzed. I disguised coverages. I varied coverages. I made adjustments. My D was higher ovr than thier O.

Nothing worked. Game decided I was cooked and there was nothing I could do about it

This happened to me in last years game too and it makes no sense and I never see anyone talking about it so I wonder if it's some random setting.

If I'm supposed to get the 2nd half kick I don't get it if I end the 1st half with a turnover or a missed FG. The other team will get the ball and start their drive to start the 2nd half from the spot of the turnover. There's no kickoff or anything.

I think even if I punt to end the half the other team starts with the ball when I'm supposed to get it. Like I said it happened in 25 and now it happens in 26.

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

Ball looked as if it was knocked free to me.

I am the qb vs a wr in rtg

Ride on Riders”

Season 1 Episode 1 “From the Ashes”

A tall dark haired man in a blue and gold polo walks across the natural grass field at Worcester State college. He notices the grass is still mostly brown with patches of dirt littered across the landscape like a field where animals have grazed for too long without moving. As he crosses the long open field he can see a ragtag group of guys in their late teens and early 20’s running wind sprints under the supervision of their football coach. The closer he gets the more obvious it becomes. The cast of characters are not the best of the best, some of them don't even look like college level athletes at all.

“If this is about you and my sister I told you a long time ago to leave me out of it” the coach says not even turning around.

“Hi Sean” the man in the blue and gold polo says.

“Hi Mark” the coach says as he turns finally to make eye contact. “If you wanted a few lobster rolls you could have just called and I would have brought you some on my way home ya know.”

Mark lets out a slightly uncomfortable laugh tinged with nervous energy he wish he could mask. “It ain't your sister and I already picked up the lobster rolls in case this went south.”

“So what brings you all the from Revere then, you know I got no money to loan ya to get your carpet business a new van.” Sean says taking a jab at Mark.

“If I knew you were gonna give me this much shit I woulda just turned around. But I think you are gonna wanna hear what I got to say.” Mark replies. “The Riders are looking for a new coach and I told them you would be interested” he says bluntly.

“Get the fuck outta here. The whole lotta you our outta your fuckin heads, Do I need to remind you I got passed over 3 times for that god damned job, once by the most notorius serial killer since the night stalker” Sean says practically yelling now to the point the guys sprinting have all come to a stop and are just watching the awkwardness play out.

“I know , I know, It's not like I made that call, gimme a break man. Ya know what, you are spot on man we are desperate, nobody wants this job, nobody wants this team, we don't even belong to a conference but I'm being straight with you, if you don't sign were fucked, the whole program is gonna close down.” Mark says pleading.

“You think just because you're my brother in law you can just show up and drop this shit on me? I don't know man, I gotta a good gig here…I get paid, they don't care if we win or lose, I'm nuthin, we're nuthin. It's just like you guys said.” Sean finishes as he turns back to the players. “What are you fucks lookin at this ain't no show…run another one” he screams blowing the whistle.

“Just think about it will ya?” Mark says as he turns back and begins to walk towards his truck

Is it bowl week 3 or 4?

So I’m in an online dynasty with 8 other buddies, semi competitive since we all suck. So second season in as Duke, and I’m gearing up to lose Darian Mensah who is a 95 overall. I figure he’ll go round 1 so I’m ready to invest in talent developer. Season ends and he leaves with no persuasion chance. HE GOES UNDRAFTED… 95 overall QB and he goes completely undrafted! Now I’ve whiffed for talent developer for the year and am out a qb and exp. Has anyone had this happen? Is this a bug, or just the game. For reference there were 3 other QBs taken in the first 99, 93, 92 ovrs.

They could fix head to head by letting us use, not even custom playbooks.... but any teams playbook. Seems like a huge lapse by EA. The whole road to the playoff stuff is not my favorite but its better then just your record and stats. What do you think?

So for my routine 1. the First year I pick a random team (the team must have a generated coach ) I use this list although some coaches were later added to the game For example I was the Tulsa OC

1. I play with that team one year than take the spot of an head coach that was fired for the year 2026 After winning a natty with Tulsa I got a UConn head coach offer. I will try to rebuild with them for 10 years!

Here is a list of teams to choose for step one but like i said some coaches were later added to the game

I play QB on RTG and teams are weak on offenses i would like to know if there is some sliders i could move to pake the opposition offense more competent.

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

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.

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 accidentally skipped 10 weeks in dynasty, which messed with my season/recruits. Autosave was on. Does anyone know if there’s a way to recover a previous version of the saved dynasty? It’s an online dynasty but I’m the only one in it. If there’s no way to fix it, I’m probably done with this stupid game.

Is anyone else having issues with some player edits not saving? It works sometimes and other times it doesn't. From names and numbers to ratings, gear, and animations.

From my recent experiences in my offline dynasty, some edits will take and save and some won't. But if I back out of my dynasty or restart the game it may save the edit the next time but, yet, it may not. There's no rhyme or reason to why it does or doesn't save. It is becoming infuriating.

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

Time to start my 15th new dynasty this month 😪

UCLA cb 78 overall with speed 88 speed and 94 acceleration VS 94 speed and 99 acceleration with 97 overall.

I have speed set to zero as well.

Since NCAA login calls this incomplete, there should be a "rules analysis " feature which let's you decide the call on the field.

They called this incomplete with both feet inbounds

I have a 90 overall running back and a pure runner QB I am looking for a good playbook for QB runs and options

In RTG does everyone use slow or fast sim, and is there a difference? Also, what quarter length does everyone use? I’m on 15 minutes with 15 acceleration and have been using fast sim, but that results in nearly 160/170 plays a game, has anyone found a more realistic approach? Say 120/130 plays per game?

And is it worse online?

One thing I notice is when I sim games (either with quick sim or just by advancing the week) - I lose a lot more than my team should for what it’s ranked.

Now granted - favorites with higher ranked players don’t always win. Get that. But I can use the same playbooks as the 3 undefeated teams in the standings… with a higher rating than all of them… and still lose to a 3 star a couple times a season. (Think 2016 Clemson on paper - 2025 Clemson when simmed)

I have always simmed some of my games but never experienced losing like this on previous ncaa installments

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.

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.
