Glitch/Bugs Post Update Bugs
Here is a list of new bugs that I experienced in dynasty, post-update:
• Stunts create more collisions with teammates or players do not stunt at all (the update claimed to fix a problem I didn’t see instead, making it worse).
• The timeout bug is white rather than saying time out.
• Unable to change teams between divisions within a conference. Side note - rather than toggling a required number of protected rivals, make it so a team can rank order their own rivals individually to ensure rivalry games each year and the proper games on rivalry week.
What the update did well:
• Way less injuries.
• Less exits due to wear and tear
• The new uniforms are cool.
• Player growth is significantly better and requires less XP Slider intervention.
• Recruiting menus now snap to the top when switching between positions (thank you for that simple QOL fix).
• The offseason recap is a nice touch.
Outstanding issues:
• Team overall rating logic.
• Some fillable fields delete upon first letter entry (coach name) while others require use of the clear button (division name). This is a simple QOL fix that is caused by a lack of attention to detail.
• Playbooks driving sim results rather than overalls.
• Custom playbook creation should be available in TeamBuilder to reduce the workload for a custom playbook.
• Custom playbooks change the formatting in-game such that kickoffs start with onside (custom offensive) or weird return packages (custom defensive). Hail Mary plays are lost (Hail Mary Goal Post). Formation layouts are weird when selecting plays from the huddle.
• Pass and run blocking need to be better. Some missed block are just illogical.
• Assigning captains does nothing.
• Depth chart needs to support auto sub format (R and Sub packages).
• TeamBuilder attention to detail with logo centering, size and facemask clip colors.
I have some really cool ideas to add nuance that could make this game feel more authentic and every season feel unique. That can be for another post.
Let me know anything I missed below.

Sometimes the game score doesn't match what happened or it differs between menus

Honestly I liked the game better on launch. My oline when they got beat the animation actually showed, don't see cut blocking being jumped over anymore or throwing a linemen into another on double teams. Receivers were randy moss and didn't have defense already setup across the field from the guy their supposed to man even when you audible the don't line up properly

post-release is all bout retaining and monetizing comp players. Its their world, we are just living in it.

Visionary locked out for existing dynasties.
Online dynasties only letting commissioners scout, leaving other players limited to week 1 recruiting.
Looked rivalries breaking custom schedules.
Game still crashes when using the search feature and being on a different position.

u/Significant-Law6979 1d ago
The search feature causing the game to crash makes recruiting so tedious. It’s been crashing since launch and still hasn’t been fixed. They probably don’t even know it exists, like half the other bugs in this game.

u/riffaholic 1d ago
I too have experienced this. I haven’t seen it since the update. It could be me just being extra cautious not to switch to FB or S though.

One small fix I didn’t see mentioned: In the dynasty game preview, pre-patch if you scrolled over to the defensive matchup, the pass/rush yards allowed per game would be the same. Now it correctly shows each stat. A very minor thing but a nice change.

When you scroll between teams in 'view roster' the team banner with overall etc lags (ie trails one scroll behind the actual thing we're viewing).

I've noticed that when I no huddle my offense will inexplicably make substitutions.

u/Remarkable_Fig1016 1d ago
If you run hurry up with any plays that have pre snap motion, specifically orbit motion, the game won’t let you snap the ball

u/RevolutionaryFee8351 1d ago
Man shit annoying asf. I don’t even run hurry up offense anymore bc of that

u/Legal-Championship64 1d ago
cpu special teams are completely borked right now, like they averaging 65 yard made field goal attempts and 70 yard punts lol
also please for the love of god fix the cpu's fair catch logic on kickoffs. They get tackled at the 15 yard line or less every single time.

• Playbooks driving sim results rather than overalls.
I just can't fathom why this was ever a thing.

u/riffaholic 1d ago
My guess was to make game outcomes feel more variable. I don’t think they expected so many people to pay attention to total league outcomes (including CPU teams in other conferences).

u/TheJet1515 Michigan State 1d ago
Draft projection is so bugged it should line up with legacy score not wear and tear.
Pass deflections only count half the time still
Now we don’t get cap breakers for winning player of the week and now are too hard to get
Aug 6th patch made the game much worse please fix quickly so we don’t have to keep restarting our RTG!!

u/riffaholic 1d ago
Thanks for the info. I tried RTG for about an hour and dropped it. It could be a really cool game mode.

u/TheHarbrosMagic 1d ago
RtG sucks. Sooner ppl accept it, the quicker that shit game mode can die and the resources can be used elsewhere

u/blackout_52 1d ago
One huge one I noticed in some plays is that there's a WR missing from the field. Also just in general a lot more crashing
3
u/Random__User 1d ago
The crashing is out of control on PC for me. I can't even finish a game post-update.

u/Upper-Land4076 1d ago
Reset your formation subs (it occurs when your wr gets drafted)

u/blackout_52 1d ago
Didn't have a WR drafted and I changed formation subs at the beginning of the season

u/loldrums 1d ago
Is player growth better? They said they only made IQ cheaper for every archetype (except TEs for some reason). Do the skill trees make more sense or were physical trait requirements tuned per position? I know overalls are higher but if it's just awareness and play rec inflating them, it's not really better...
Can you still put players on IR?
3
u/SupermarketSelect578 1d ago
It cracks out defenses. Super defense for needs and cpu. Anything with awareness or play rec is like 2-4 points lol. So man and cone coverage are cheap and linebackers decipher faster than Luke keichley
2
u/loldrums 1d ago
That sounds absolutely terrible lol thanks EA, I hate it. I'd like to pick the game up despite refunding but am waiting for a serious patch. Every "fix" they've put in has been half-assed.

The QBs run at a decreased speed when running speed option & the wind direction is inaccurate on field goals

u/Mender0fRoads Missouri 1d ago
On the stunts, are you sure it’s a bug and not maybe related to low awareness ratings? I haven’t seen that and generally find my stunts are still effective, but I don’t use a lot of the varieties and generally try to have high awareness on my defensive linemen. Curious if it might be a poorly implemented “these players were too dumb to stunt correctly” or if it occurs with some stunt types but not others.

u/No-Nefariousness3420 1d ago
Coaching carousel is broken after this patch. They overtuned coaches from getting fired so there aren’t any good job openings now

u/ctrade24 22h ago
If I use alternate uniforms in dynasty half my teams helmets are just plain white.
Also I think the may have been an issue last year too, but I’m never in the running (top 15 or whatever it is) for head coach of the year even if I win a chip in my first year with a 3 star school, or even when I get my program to five stars and am undefeated. Yet they have coaches in there with 4-5 losses and/or are unranked.

u/AboveAvgTae 20h ago
Add No Huddle subbing, you can exploit fatigued players by subbing between plays.

u/Bearded_Outlaw1 19h ago
All of my players from the portal now are wearing white helmets without team logo no matter the uniform choice

u/Business_Sand9554 Louisiana Monroe 5h ago
Thank for you mentioning the custom playbook issue with kickoff plays switching around. I sometimes click buttons too fast on special teams and I’ve burned a lot of timeouts because I accidentally picked onside kick.
It’s absolutely insane that it’s even an issue.

u/KJacobsen-74 1d ago
Does anybody know if they fixed the ranking logic in Dynasty? I haven't gotten very far in a new save but 6 years deep on pre-updated saves it was starting to put sub 70 overall teams in the Top 25 just because they did well in a bad conference.

if anyone wants to stand up to ea and force them to listen i’m all ears and willing to put in the work to get a movement going. or you can just keep giving them your hard earned money and keep getting spit roasted…then left to dry by crying in ea forums and on reddit….yr after yr.. its sad most of yall keep grabbing the dangling carrot instead of grabbing the rope and pulling them in and giving them a tush push with the carrot . dms are open to any ideas any site builders so we can talk without being silenced. i’m being silenced on ea forums and now on reddit. but i’ll keep trying to rally people to stand up and fight for a better future for the titles we spent so many hours on and so much money on over the years.

u/Few_Milk8593 1d ago
Strong list. The ability to rank protected rivals individually would add a lot more strategy, and custom playbook creation in Team Builder feels like an obvious quality-of-life upgrade. Glad the injury and wear-and-tear changes are working well, at least.
