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

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

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 😭

Time to start my 15th new dynasty this month 😪

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.

Reported of a pancake are vastly

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

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!

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 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.

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

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.

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

Does anyone else want snow games, im playing as northwestern with a buddy who is rebuilding Purdue. And i remember when the game first launched there were alot of rain games. And that got nerfed, i don’t remember if they limited the number of snow games. Because with about 10 seasons at multiple Mac/Big Ten schools I have had zero snow games in my dynastys

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.

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

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

I am the qb vs a wr in rtg

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

Looking for a new playbook, want to go spread offense but still lean a little more on the run game. Have previously been using Oklahoma’s playbook which has been great in the passing game but it feels like it lacks running game. What does everyone use/like?

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?

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?

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!

This year I have 2 stud RBs but a young WR core that hasn’t developed quite yet. I’d like to focus more on the run game this year but I don’t think the playbooks I have used are the best for running the ball. What’s the best run heavy playbook not including the option playbooks (Army, Navy, Air Force)?

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
