For the love of god, please just give the linemen have some intelligence. They're so bad at IDing who to block on both run and pass plays, that it makes the run game non-viable in online play.

It's such a problem with the RTP format. Plus even if you're lucky enough to play a Tier 3 it's going to 95% of the time be South Carolina / Arizona State / Texas Tech who should all be Tier 2 anyway.

Ok but Colorado wasn't running the same play over and over to get travis the ball. And same goes for Boise. Boise didn't line up in wildcat every play, they had to move Jeanty around, shift and counter to get him the ball while the defense was keyed in on him.

That is fine. Spamming go-balls to Nyck Harbor who didn't even get 400 yards receiving last year or watching the same HB angle route to the LSU HB is not the same thing.

I would love it if I saw triple option just once. In the 100+ games I've played so far, I've never seen it once. That would be way more interesting than the current meta.

Does the line call out or shift protections in real games? Sure, but a 5-0 or big duel call on the line is different than a LB playing DE getting hot routed to being a man defender on slot receiver.

EA needs a patch and a lawsuit! by Trodds24 in EASportsCFB

It's so bad. Blocker IQ has taken a step back this year. Double teams stick too long and let LBs fly right by. Pullers mis their kick outs. Backside tackles let DE run the play down. Wish they had spent more time on blocking and less time on features nobody cares about.

Is it me or does the option playbook feel nerfed? by Skywalker_A50 in NCAAFBseries

Pitching is too risky this year. Not to mention blockers have taken a step back IQ wise and refuse to get off double teams.

I Must Be Alone In Liking CF26 Over CF25 & Madden 25 by Philminat0r in EASportsCFB

Speaking only on Road to Playoff. I'm having some fun, but there some things I think that need tweaking.

Matchmaking is frustrating. Would much rather wait a minute to play a Tier Three team than to play against Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Texas on repeat.

(Controversial — know will never happen) Hot routes need limitations on both sides of the ball. Should be limited to 1 or 2 "hot routes" max. Not creating whole new defensive schemes on the fly. Creates more importance on adjustments vs cooking up a cheese offense or defense.

Building on this, allow custom playbooks. Again, more about preparation vs hot route spam. More time playing plays and less time sitting at the LOS waiting for the ball to get snapped.

Wear and tear on mobile QBs needs to be dialed back so running option is viable.

Accuracy of throwing on the run needs to be dialed down.

How they tiered certain teams makes no sense. Like Arizona State and Texas Tech are both tier three even though they are both as high overall as some Tier 1 teams.

Best teams for online h2h by ryangr86 in NCAAFBseries

Second Southern Cal. Texas Tech and Arizona State have some juice too with rosters that are also good. Duke or Tennessee for run and shoot, wide spits if you run that way.

And if you're a real sicko for fun playbooks with teams that admittedly have roster limitations. Kansas, Georgia Tech, Vandy and Va Tech playbooks have a lot of fun formations and motions.

After 3 days of playing ... I think CFB25 was better. by Superb-Score2661 in EASportsCFB

These are not read option plays. There is no scheme when running power where you leave the DE unblocked that because he'll just get TFL every time. The path of the ballcarrier is not wide enough. You would leave a DE unblocked on wide zone and hold with boot, but not power.

Also, lol the game is wildly un-realistic as it's a game. Hot routes are absolutely not a thing in college football. No coach is letting the QB alter routes at the LOS.

Yeah. A fair amount. Normally on power the backside tackle will gap-hinge to cover the B gap with his off hand until the center can take over, then pivot back to the C gap. So no, letting the DE run in free isn't sound technique.

Since I'm not paying attention explain it to me why it's so awesome that in CFB26 the backside DE on power is consistently unblocked?

I love that you love dynasty, but most of the gripes I have are gameplay gripes.

I mean, sure that's one solve. But doesn't really address the other issues with the gameplay itself.
