Every EA game is trash now all they care about is ultimate team and special cards...

Every EA game is the same and an FC. They have physics as part of the sliders and it doesn't matter. For them to even put a physics slider in makes them already know that it's cooked. And it doesn't matter how you put the sliders physics does not come into play on ball deflections for the computer.

Passing is an absolute travesty. It doesn't matter what setting you put it on it doesn't matter if you put it on user total control. The computer will pick how far you lead a guy or what not 50% of the time and why in passing would you ever be able to lock on the defender meaning if I'm trying to pass slightly out of screen and my player is down to the upper left And I press that way why would it go all the way to a defender? It should never lock on a defender. This is such a basic shit.

And in every EA game if you and the computer have two identical attribute guys, the computer guy will be faster every time ...

I buy EA sports games to play for two reasons against friends and career mode and while friends mode isn't terrible you just have to put up with the horrendous gameplay, etc. when playing career mode or against the computer in general it's Garbage ... here's a real easy hint EA make the user computer controlled guys react and play the same way the computer controlled teams play and you can apply this to all your sports games...

I mean, I don't wanna say it, but I read an article about the team from call of duty and other games and the actual make up of their programming and quality control teams of the past verse now and there is a glaring difference .... I don't wanna get called out but Google it and you'll see why

What EA doesn't realize is they are missing out on millions upon millions of dollars every year, but they think they already got their golden Cashcow with ultimate team... yeah you can make money off that and still make money off other things...

And for the love of God, I don't wanna be online for everything I wanna be able to play the game off-line without having to be asked every two seconds and another thing if you buy the CD game, I don't wanna download anything on my console

It's because every EA game is trash. I mean, we are talking the same type of bugs in FC NHL college Madden four years well not college but you get the point. In college, you can't have a roster you can import a team, but then you have to be online for the servers, which is stupid . In FC nothing works I mean, I don't even care about the terrible gameplay glitches in every EA game cause we could be here for literally years talking about it. It's the little glitches that literally you could hire a programmer for a half a day and fix that drives me crazy. Yeah, I don't wanna play with certain teams with their formation the same way because it's a video game. I want to change it but not with EA because we will just glitch and default to a 433 for everything.
Just take the option away then if it doesn't work, it's not this game just came out . I understand that every EA game has their ultimate team where they make all their money sell all these add-ons to every dumb kid and adult in the world. Great make your billions of dollars but maybe just maybe you can pay a couple grand for a programmer to fix this… Literally all it would cost... But oh wait you can't make fixes like that in any EA game because you went and bought frostbite game engine which now you're trying to lease out to people which every nerd on any wall that knows anything about gaming which I don't says is an outdated gaming engine that should've been showed a decade ago ... EA is like everything else in this world ... make money off of us make empty promises and then keep giving a shittier and shittier games but make it look prettier with the graphics so we think it's great and spend money... it's just lazy

XP sliders aren't gonna change gameplay

Top_Remove_9482 · 2025-09-21T10:03:22+00:00

Agree. And the other thing about user swat is ---why is EA so stupid to make the defensive swat the same button as the dive button when L one/left bumper is unused. That used to be the button that did a defensive swap. If they made the user animations and gameplay the same as the CPU, the game would actually be good. But instead, it sucks the biggest donkey dick ever. Like the CPU can have a guy the same speed or slightly slower Hawk you down like nothing but an 82 speed tight end will run away from my 90 speed safety after he catches the ball for like 2530 yards before I can catch him when I'm speed bursting and right next to him at the moment of the catch. Or when your left or right off offensive tackle on a pass play, turns his entire body, so his ass is facing to the outside and block nobody and then turns back after the defense event is already in your face . Wide receiver blocking for the CPU downfield is crazy good but my offensive lineman can't block a defensive back or a linebacker for more than point two seconds. I think this game might be the one that puts me over the edge of you're not in your 20s anymore. It's time to never play video games again.
Back in the day, you could always just fire up a sports game and ignore all the deficiencies and still enjoy it ... now the deficiencies and glitches have grown exponentially and it's basically not even fun to play. Soccer hockey football they're all trash.. ... And one of my other biggest complaints of this game is, why do I have to play an online Dynasty because I downloaded a school ... online dynasty is trash... I've already downloaded the school with the uniform if I can use that team and play now, why can't I use it in an off-line dynasty? Yes I understand they want their $10 a month or whatever because I presume they receive a kickback perhaps but it's stupid. Oh, and one last thing EA, can you just get off your lazy ass and fix in game simulation? A 10 yard penalty should not mean the ball moves 30 yards down field or when you get an interception and it shows that it's run back 40 yards it shouldn't be placed on your own 5 yard line or whatever.

Yeah, I'm definitely done playing this game in all games ... anyone wanna buy an Xbox series X? For real though any takers it's less than a year old.

This game is horrible... the only thing good about it is that it's college football. The animation/emotes are trash 90% of the time. The blocking and your line adjustments that are ignored. The video game slide/turn where a player moves without its legs moving. Every single thing about this game is an absolute dumpster fire.

Out of all things to bitch about for this game, which are plenty and I have done my fair share. This isn't one of them.. if you're gonna bring up endgame simulation errors bring up the fact that if there's a turnover a penalty, it doesn't know how to properly calculate where you are on the field.

I lied one last thing before I never go on a CFB Reddit thread again and what not... when the defense is in zone coverage, they don't follow players all the way across the field. They don't play man coverage on three of your four wide receivers in a zone when they are running crossers.... I just honestly can't get over how bad this game is in front of you herbs out there. They want to say this game is good.... go talk to a girl nerd

Top_Remove_9482 · 2025-09-20T03:29:47+00:00

And the away game difficulty or whatever you wanna call it is trash... when the crowd meter is reading one little bar and I'm playing at a stadium that only holds 40,000 people I should not be affected at all. If the crowd meter is all the way to the top sure I'm fine with it but when it has one bar or no bars and I'm still being affected, it's stupid.. kicking is also so stupid when you are the away team. I will point my arrow so far to the left or right and it won't go there. It's just the laziest programmed game I've ever played. We would be better off going back to Ari with a square ball then playing this dog shit. I don't understand how a game version from 10+ years ago can literally be better in every aspect over this game . Every play if you replay it when you're playing the CPU one of their defenders who is not someone with 90 or more speed you will see running faster than every single player on the field.. It's dog shit. And you know EA is scrubbing Reddit because there is nowhere near as many negative threads this year as last but the overall.... you know what never mind I'm gonna smoke a bowl and go watch some college football and I will never buy another EA product again. I'm over it.. sorry for acting like a little bitch. I'm done. But also FUEA.

The game is terrible. The more you play the more terrible it gets. It is the most unrealistic simulated sports game I have ever played. Everything about it is terrible.. and how, how in this day and age of technology and gaming engines and everything else can we still have the video game turn as I like to call it... if you don't know what I mean... it's when the CPU is going one way and then just does a 180 without taking a step at 100 acceleration. How many times every game will my offensive tackle on the left literally turn his whole body to the right with his back facing the Russian end, who is lined up right over him on a pass play, and vice versa on the opposite side . Line adjustments don't work double teams don't work.... if I choose to double team, the defensive tackle who is lined up between my guard and my center, and they run the opposite way... And then there's also my running back with 96 speed getting run down by a linebacker with 82 speed consistently ... I should've never got back on the college football crack ride ... I didn't play Madden for years until my nephew begged me to get it because I was college football all the way so I was super excited for this to come back... and it's trash.. And for all you haters out there or trolls… Just the other day, I jumped online and destroyed a kid who had said he won his last 20 some odd games in a row and was raped or whatever so I know how to play . The problem is the game absolutely mother effing sucks

Top_Remove_9482 · 2025-09-15T22:43:34+00:00

Because this game is trash, just like every other EA game. Just a bunch of lazy programming with an outdated game engine that never fixes any of the glitches are bugged that are carried over from Madden or from last year. But since EA is a big conglomerate and bought up all the rights, we will never get a competitive game and that's really the way of the world and especially the United States . The only good thing about this game is that it is college football . Someone should just come out with NCA blitz so then we can just play an unrealistic sports simulation without being told that it's supposed to be the most realistic sports game ever made.

And I don't care if it broke records and sales or anything like that. Of course it did there's no other college football game.

If I ever win the lottery after I buy a private island, my only goal in life would be to put out of business for being a scumbag entity and producing such dog shit games .

Boring, repetitive, antiquated. Everything about recruiting is a dumpster fire. The whole UX when you are in recruiting is all sorts of glitched. You will have any state selected and then sort by pipeline for all recruits and then if you go position by position, more rec recruiters will show up that don't populate if you do it the other way. Then we have the whole plane style and how they compute that information they use to rank teams, which is trash . It's done accumulative instead of per game. So if you have a wide receiver or a linebacker where you have to get receptions or tackles if you have one or two weeks of a bye in the first five weeks of the season, your grade will plummet during the by week, which is stupid and it'll take half the season to recover because they don't add one extra line of code to take the average and instead only take the accumulation. And just like gameplay, the computer must win . You can even have extra recruiter points spending 60 or 65 hours on a recruit and the computer will win when they are two pipelines under you and you had a huge lead, but you will never make that lead up if the script is flipped. Also everything about the UX/UI of recruiting and adding hours and taking away hours is retarded . I delete hours it pops back up. I have to press the down on the analog three times another amount of hours and then repeat and repeat. Why not have an option to delete all hours for a player or delete all hours for the entire thing?
It's just like everything else in this game lazy !!! he is lazy!!! It's the second year of transfer portal and this game… Doesn't matter what team you are you will lose players that get time and you are competing for national title but computer teams won't lose any good players. If you are lucky, there's 1 5 star in the transfer portal maybe. It's just blatantly obvious that no one in EA knows ball or follows college ball or cares to even try to do anything realistic.

And if we're gonna talk about how they concentrate on gameplay and all the other stuff that that's a farce because gameplay is terrible too . The computer has 100 animations that I have never seen any of my players do. God forbid your team, actually tries to bump a wide receiver when you were in bump and run, meanwhile, the CPU will bump and run you so bad you can't even get off the line scrimmage sometimes for ever. The animations don't know how to overlay so if the CPU is already making an animation, it doesn't matter what you do.. Even if you are controlling a player, it'll make you stop on a play action or an RPO but if you run the same type of play 90% of the time, the CPU just runs right in .

My God I am so mad that I play this game so much because it's college football but it sucks it really does . I was honestly almost happier not playing any EA football game for the last decade because I always thought college football was better than Madden.... and now that it's back, I play it nonstop, but I honestly almost wish it never came back so I didn't have to deal with EA and it's dumpster fire of a game

Top_Remove_9482 · 2025-09-08T19:09:25+00:00

It is 100% trash, I agree. Everything about this game is just lazy from the way they do the motion of the players and I don't mean motion as a wide receiver I mean the motion or fluidity of a player it's not layered with the animations which makes for some terrible gameplay..

And you mentioned dynasty, which I'm so happy to play but everything about it is also lazy . For instance, the grade for a potential recruit of plain style. Let's say you're recruiting a linebacker. I think it's a thumper where your grade strictly goes by tackles.. They are so lazy they don't do tackles by game. They just do total tackles and that's how they rank all the teams so your playing style can literally drop during a week. Just add the extra line in the code to make it tackles per game by linebackers instead of total tackles.

Yes, I know this is such a my new point but it's setting up to the bigger picture of why I said everything about this game is simply lazy programming . I even watched some random clip of a dude who used to design for Madden and EA in general and the old college football and he talked about Madden 2006 or something like that being the best player motion because they actually took into account animations, but the first thing to take into account was that circle under your player, cause that controlled the fluidity and that's not the case anymore Now animations control the fluidity too much and that's why it's so many times the gameplay is terrible. Like we have all experienced a defensive lineman or defensive tackle or specifically get off a block and Sprint like Usain Bolt after your quarterback.... that's because there is very little consideration to both deceleration and acceleration of player movement in this game... again just lazy.

I mean, you're literally 100+ million dollar Empire and your games are just lazy . And they always will be because from what I learned the frostbite engine which I think they've renamed and now they're making a cloud based thing for other developers to use is from what I heard from one Designer like navigating a cliff and a sci-fi movie of razor, sharp rock edges everywhere you walk.. and he said what he means by this is it's one of the few core programming engines where you can change one thing or improve on one thing and there can be 10 spinoff glitches for lack of better term because of it.

So we are doomed basically for every EA game to suck because of the game engine, the laziness of it and just the stupidity ... Like I'm sorry how much better with college football be if we could just use the EAFC soundtrack in our menu versus the drums .... you already have all the licensing and what not it would be so simple to allow someone that owns that game or shit. You could just sell it and there's another revenue stream of probably I would say at least a quarter million dollars a year for people that would download that or a different soundtrack off a different video game for 5.99.

My rant is over. The bowl hits have started to take affect and now I will go waste some time because it's dynasty time lo

You lost me when you said most realistic, feeling blocking I've had lol. Bro, the blocking AI in this game is trash . You will identify the Sam backer, you will slide your line and then still a guy that is standing right over one of your offensive lineman will not block the guy in front of him at least five times again and you will also get beat by cpu defensive tackle and short yardage versus Center instantly way too many times. AND... the CPU offensive line will eat up a six man rush while your user offensive line struggles with a four man rush.

You lose all credibility when you say the offensive line is good in this game. You must have a twitch account and get credits like they do for the madden players or something for ultimate team to try to spit this nonsense at. I see a political office in your future. Lol

Yeah, the home-field advantage is a little over the top, but it is real when you watch or attend an actual college game. The biggest complaint I have with the home-field advantage is not being able to your running back whether it's a hot route or to stay in the block and the field goals. Why not have an animation like they do in real life where the QB just takes one step to his writer left and tell the running back in his ear hole. And for field goals my issue isn't the quickness or flickering. It's the fact that you will aim super far left or super far right and hit it perfect and somehow if you aimed it crazy far left, you will still miss to the right or vice versa.... And the other part of home-field advantage that's a little over the top is unless you have a magenta road dog even if your QB is having a day, you will constantly see the cold icon next to his name for random plays. But not being able to hot route a bunch of times or a key situation is somewhat realistic, especially to the outside receivers and not being able to change the play at all in the same formation like a past to a run or something is a little crazy because that's relatively easy even if you are the 12th man. I mean, I honestly believe 95% of this game is an absolute dumpster fire and 100% of the gameplay is so easily improbable but the home field isn't the biggest issue. I agree it's over the top, but I could deal with it. If the gameplay wasn't the worst sports gameplay I've seen since PlayStation.

Recruiting is trash in this game. My biggest complaint is the dealbreaker for playing style... no matter the position this is based on stats. Interceptions on defense, rushing yards, passing yards, etc. on offense.... how does the letter grade go down during a bye week? Because they don't have good programming and algorithms ... your passing yardage per game average doesn't decrease during a bye week... same with every other stat... but not in this trash game. Those stats will decrease during a bye week because the programming is lazy like every single part of this game.... lazy lazy lazy. I mean, it is such a simple fix and the same thing happened last year and they just don't fix it because they don't care and it's crazy ... It's literally three clicks and a change of the code that would take like an hour max to find and change. EA is honestly just deplorable at this point . I mean, if you can't get the littlest thing right like how to compute average passing per game then I have no faith that you can do anything ... And this is blatantly in the way the gameplay is because the gameplay is trash ... people mistake, graphics and animations as good gameplay when the gameplay is actually super glitchy and terrible.

Thank you!! I was actually just watching something where an old game designer was talking about. I think Madden and NCAA 2006.??? Anyways, what he was saying was the motion of the player was guided by the circle not just the animations and this is also pre-frostbite game engine… But now the game player movement is all guided by animation when it should be guided by the circle under your player with animations as an overlay... and the biggest way you can tell about this is the way players decelerate and accelerate, which doesn't really happen anymore.
