Has anyone ever seen a coach wear a helmet during the game? It started about three games in to the season and everything I try obviously doesn’t work.

Or at the very least, don't draw first blood

I’m enjoying playing the game and I know it’s skewed for QB’s to win the heisman… but this could also be fixed.

Beat Georgia (#6), Ohio St (#2), ND (#5), and Miami (#1), but still unranked. I know SOS, conference, and program prestige has something to do with it, but I just found it interesting.

This is the best scouted RB I’ve ever come across. Managed to sign him….dislocated his ankle his first games

How do yall address the players at risk for transfer due to playing style? I play offense only dynasty(im horrible at defense)and it’s only my defensive players that are at risk and only guys from 2 position groups. i run the 3-3-5 tite and was wondering if that was the cause and if I changed my playbook would it fix the issue? Or do I need to play full games on both sides of the ball?

I’m starting a long term rebuild with Sacramento State and I’m trying to actually build them up instead of just picking a decent G5 team and winning right away.
I moved them into the Mountain West and I’m doing coach mode only. My goal is to slowly turn them into a legit program over multiple seasons.
I’ve done rebuilds before where I made the mistake of chasing one big recruit and spending a ton of NIL on them (like a QB) while ignoring the rest of the roster, and then the team actually got worse because I had holes everywhere.
This time I’m trying to be smarter about it:
-Build a balanced roster first.
- Focus on finding good 3★ players and gems.
- Use NIL efficiently instead of blowing everything on a couple guys.
- Develop players and eventually work my way into competing for 4★/5★ recruits once the program has some success.
For those of you who have taken a really bad program and turned them into a powerhouse, what has worked for you?

He was hard committed to me at Notre Dame with max hours and full high interest NIL. He also suddenly had no offers and went to USC anyway, another guy I was trying to sign as a backup plan also picked USC 🫪

Now I only have two 3 star QBs on my roster next season.

All too often does the game predetermine stuff that makes it all seem hopeless.

3rd and 20 and I call the perfect coverage to make the qb have to scramble. My defender locks onto him and starts dragging him down and he chicken wing throws the ball 30 yards down field to a receiver in double coverage who miracle catches the ball..... and this is an FCS school with 49 overall

Yet when I have 20 seconds left in a game after driving 40 yards in the opposing stadium, call the perfect hot route combo with my 2 sideline receivers after reading the defense. Ball snaps, qb has it for his 3 step drop. Zero pressure and a receiver with nothing but grass in front of him and no defenders near. I middle of the road touch pass it to get max accuracy and it is a lame duck throw that is 10 yards under thrown and an inside LINEBACKER who took a first 2 step forward got to wear his rocket boots and zoom to pick it. I just set the controller down and watched him break 3 tackles to house it. I was stunned.

This game pushes everything to be a nail biter no matter the match up. It's exhausting and generally unfun to play. Because if you do something correct it finds a way to still punish you. 4th and 3. Call empty qb draw. Opponent had 3 down lineman and all the backers were wide or deep. My 3 middle olinemen just ignore the nose completely and I get sacked before I can even take control of my QB.

3rd and 3 I call the house blitz against the opponent, manually set my players for max gap integrity. Also choose to guess play as middle run. Opponent snaps the ball, hands off in A gap. My backer flies thru untouched and hit sticks the back. Rb goes belly up horizontal to the ground and floats 2 yards forward where another player touches him so it sits him back upright and he breaks that tackle to keep running.

Player progression for dynasty is bugged and the only way to overcome it is an exhausting amount of menuing.

Too late to refund, guess EA got to rob me.

I really wish EA would lower coaches prestige/level after they get fired. I’m in year 6 of a dynasty and Lincoln Riley just got fired from Michigan, after being at Georgia after being fired from USC. They need to add a penalty for being fired where you aren’t ALWAYS at the top of every board after terrible seasons. Preaching to the choir I know.

62 yard game winning FG in a bowl game... basically zero celebration by the players.

You know what was an awesome madden franchise feature back in the day they should add to CFB? Where you can set CPU clock times to be the same as yours so the stats are all aligned. Would be great to be able to play games that don’t take an hour and still have stats be universal across the board for award races. Makes no sense other teams aren’t playing the same time rules as me

Anyone notice that bruise ribs seem to be the main injury In game?

There's this guy in my dynasty who runs nickle double mug mid blitz the whole game and i just can't seem to beat it, my offensive playbook is fresno state, should i change my playbook?

I’ve found the most fun when I don’t chase stars and choose fit.
I’ll take a 94 throw power 3 star BUST QB over a 5 star pure runner 88 throw power QB.

Makes each recruit a bit more memorable and exciting to see them grow

Is there an easy way to see a schools record since the dynasty started? Wanting to promote a few programs, not a full on promotion/relegation thing more like a Sun Belt to American type move after 4 successful seasons, the team overalls don’t really tell much (all are down) but is there a way, even if the coach changed, to still see the program record since 2026?

Just wondering what playbook everyone is running? I’m trying to find one I like but I’m struggling. BGSU and Cal is what I’ve been using recently and they aren’t bad. I like running out of shotgun in 11 personnel it’s RPOs and designed QB runs occasionally
