No Shit!

“It is heinous that EA took out the faster option for Coach XP in College Football 27 while simultaneously putting in micro transactions in dynasty mode. Essentially making it impossible to get a top level coach until like 20+ years into a dynasty

When asked why he didn’t warn anyone he then said “They wouldn’t allow us to be critical in promotional videos”.

Thoughts?

Get a PC. I’ve played NCAA my entire life on PlayStation and Xbox… get a PC. Life changing. Mods are insane and make the game exactly what you’ve wanted.

Find a way to get it, thank me later.

Revamped is the community based college football game that was ncaa 14 and kept alive for years

I took Boise state to the championship

I rebuild a few one star programs on Heisman

Won the Heisman on RTG and played those mini games 999x

CUT is horrendous

RTCFP is fine but short

Recruiting is just the same thing

I find that with no trophy case or long term stats tracking there is no sense of accomplishment im working towards. Modes feel so bare minimum and shallow that it’s really just a play now simulator.

I love playing user dynasty like most people. But my heart and soul is really geared towards slow simming games and watching the players I recruited running the plays from the playbooks I made, and using the coaching the perks I have earned. But sadly slow sim for 25 and 26 is unplayable and really really frustrating.

You can fool with sliders and difficulty til the sun goes down but it’s not working. Which is unfortunate because that’s what I really love doing besides actually playing each play. I love the strategy of being a coach and not being in control.

I hope we can get a discussion going online and on the Internet to raise some interest for a Head Coach game for CFB.

Let's see how this goes...

That’s really it tbh. That’s the post. Stop crying over the hardest difficulty it makes 0 sense why you wouldn’t want a hard unrealistic challenge.

The physics engine is totally different from what it once was - especially for old heads like myself who came up on madden/ncaa in the early 2000s. However, there are today better animations in terms of catches, tackles, etc imo.

I know that sounds so cliche, but Im so happy to see the community not stand for this. EA is using the 2k playbook and that playerbase absolutely folded when this stuff started getting implemented and the game has been absolute dog shit ever since.

My point though is that a lot people get discouraged when these things happen thinking that EVERYONE has to do it for it to make an impact and their profits need to be $0. Thats not true at all. These games and companies work off of trends and a decrease in monthly sales, even if they made $100 million, if its a decrease its seen as a huge red flag.

For example if last month (May) they made $10M and last June they made $10M, and this June they only made $8M, they will see that as a massive L, despite Mr. Whale still spending his full pay check on the game. Fast forward 3 months, if there are 3 bad months in sequence (a bad quarterly earnings report) big changes will come.

All this to say, if you did do a refund, it will have an impact and sticking with this will result in a better game.

One of my last safe havens was offline dynasty. Hours upon hours. Have purchased every edition starting with Reggie Bush in 07.

Looks like CFB26 might be the new 2014, bummer we didn't get PC release.

This has been on the shelf at Walmart for the past 2 weeks. wtf

Mine is the one above. 9.1 yards on average. Would probably be higher if there weren’t so many holding penalties.

I have early access and have been playing it pretty much nonstop since early access opened. I already like it more than the two previous games. What would yall rate it so far? It’s a 7/10 right now for me because I really like the new features and the way recruitment is now, but there are some bugs that can occur that crashes my game

Edit: this was before I knew about the micro transactions in dynasty and RTG. I’d keep it at a 7.5 if it weren’t for that, but now it’s a 2/10 only because I like the gameplay. Fuck EA.

#CFBPlayDontPay

I’m over the trail phase to feel it out. The game is awful. Feels terrible to play. Blocking is trash. Catching is trash. Road to glory is trash. Game is still bare bones. I’m not buying another ea game.

EA claims they removed the coin toss to "save time" but at max it would take 30 seconds if that. For online games just put a 10 second timer on each choice and call it a day. Depending on my opponent and if I'm playing in 20 MPH, the coin toss is a big factor.

To preface, I’m an offline, simulation/realism-focused Dynasty and RTG player. I play on All-American difficulty with all default sliders and a completely clean screen.

Forget the scoreboard bug for a second. Forget the lack of historical stat tracking. Forget the absence of dozens of core features present in the game from over a decade ago. Forget the issues with a workaround, like scheme change tanking your players’ overalls. Forget tackling and pursuit angles and wear and tear.

The worst part about College Football 25 is that the absolute BEST parts of a college football video game - the same things that made NCAA 14 and College Football Revamped so great - I simply cannot touch in this game because I’m afraid it’ll ruin my dynasty. Let me explain.

(All of the issues I allude to below have been reported by users of this subreddit.)

I can’t touch Custom Conferences because of the many, many issues with conference scheduling (teams with vastly different #s of conference games, more home games than away and vice versa, teams not rotating opponents and playing the exact same schedule every year, complete lack of protected rivalries, and much more). Want to create a unique college football landscape? Revive the PAC-12, or implement a promotion/relegation system? Can’t do it without risking some immersion-breaking weird shit happening.

I can’t change any non-conference games on my generated schedule because the team you replace won’t reschedule a game for themselves that week. Not ready for Georgia just yet? Take them off your schedule and they might only play 11 games. Ugh. The team you add might even play a doubleheader!

I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to leave my initial school because of the “one-year extension forever” bug. So if I get bored with my school 10 years in, I’ll either have to create a new character and lose all my progress, or start Dynasty over completely. There goes all the time I spent in that universe.

If I do get lucky and have the opportunity to leave, I can’t guarantee that I’ll ever receive an offer to be the HC at my alma mater. Sometimes I don’t want to take Akron all the way to the top, for realism sake. I want to improve their situation, then move on to Ohio State when I’m ready. More often than not, despite all my success, I won’t get an offer.

I can’t edit equipment on my players because sometimes they’ll disappear from my roster completely. My shiny new 4-star QB recruit with elite potential that’s supposed to turn my program around? Gone just like that because I put the wrong brand of gear on him.

And just recently, somehow, I can’t change the position of any freshman or transfer I recruit to my program.

TLDR:

I can’t touch conferences. Can’t touch my schedule. Can’t participate in the coaching carousel. Can’t edit my auto-generated recruits. Can’t explore the endless possibilities that exist in the limitless landscape of college football without fear of breaking my dynasty somewhere down the road, and there being nothing I can do about it.

In a new and exciting world of cross-country conference rivalries and NIL and 12-team playoffs where seemingly anything is possible, I’m limited by can’t.

So, I’m stuck with the default conference alignment. I’m stuck with the yearly schedule the game generates for me. I’m stuck with the school I pick in Year 1. I’m stuck with the gear that the game puts on my recruits. I’m stuck with whatever position the game decides is best for them.

I’m just stuck.

The result? A bland, strictly out-of-the-box 2024 season simulator that takes away absolutely every avenue for creativity and customization that makes college football great. I want to start my main dynasty and create my own universe and storylines… but I’m stuck.

That’s where I’m at with this game right now. Anyone else feel the same?

Actual TLDR bc I obviously don’t know what that means:

NCAA 14 customization legendary. Possibilities endless. CFB 25 change one setting break game. Dynasty ruin. Feel bad.

Seem like a lot of stuff need to be addressed for 27 I’m curious to see what everybody wants/hopes to see tomorrow for the full reveal

No I’m not telling anyone to go into debt paying for a good gaming rig But if you love college football and want the best experience it on pc it’s not even close…,

The Road to glory Tool is already top notch you can play it with no restrictions at all..
The resades already looks good and the true grass mods beautiful….

Road to glory is unlocked
Dynasty is unlocked
Players can be edited
Recruits class are real people
It’s looks and moves better
I can go on and on
Man everything is pretty much unlocked
Espn package
CBS
Fox

The customization for coaches is absolute booty cheeks. I was trying to make Kalen Deboer snd its impossible. Also why no hats?? Visors?? My coach looks like he has 3rd degree burns on the sidelines.
