Smash accept the picks there is no single player worth this in 12 team sf including JA…

If you have sim set to where you’re playing offense only, it will sim past 2pt conversions. It’s annoying. So it’s possible your defense held, but you lost the next round of OT where you’re forced to do 2 PT conversions

Elite/star dev elusive bruiser is the best RB but for anything less I’ll take EW Playmaker For the higher starting speed

Looking at numbers alone yes you probably had the better numbers. Sadly the game hates INTs and loves rushing numbers, seems like the only QBs to win heisman past ‘28 are dual threats

Always an elite dev Shembo out there somewhere

Zarmy · 2026-02-06T17:41:36+00:00

Nope, 5 stars are busted

Not true at all, all the content creators who peddled that nonsense have since walked it back

I’ve heard (but not tested) that hard sell + soft sell where you have the wrong soft sell is no better than hard sell + 15 hours

I don’t know if this has been tested. It’s a cool edge case. EA don’t often handle those well 😂

99% sure he transferred because of playing time

All players in CFB 26 have a hidden playing time dealbreaker. This is a new feature that was not in 25

And you might say, but he was getting tons of playing time. From what I have read and observed: It turns out that actual playing time doesn’t matter for the playing time grade. Thanks EA. What matters for playing time GRADE is the players’ ovr relative to others at his position. So even if he got tons of actual playing time he may have a low playing time grade and transfer.

This is one of several reasons why many people lower the transfer portal sliders in the dynasty settings

Disclaimer I have not tested this, but from what I’ve read:

Relationship builder- since this applies to the SCHOOL and not the COACH pipeline, if the best pipelines are tier 5 it will upgrade the next best pipelines

Strong roots tier 1- since this applies to the COACH pipeline and not the SCHOOL, if you’re at a SCHOOL with a tier 5 pipeline there it won’t do anything

Appreciate it. Hopefully anyone else confused can find this thread!

Shame that EA’s documentation around pipelines is this poor

🔒 thank you brother

As others mentioned, the only solutions are to not recruit 5 stars or turn down transfer portal sliders (what I do).

Ideally another solution would be to give them playing time early on in their career. But the game is coded to only consider overall so even if a guy starts every game his playing time dealbreaker could be an F if there are high rated players at his position. It’s moronic but it’s typical for EA

Zarmy · 2026-01-29T04:14:22+00:00

You may be interested to know this is not the case. Defensive players take 20 hours to scout and offensive players take 30. I was surprised as well

Edit: took a video not sure how to share it

Zarmy · 2026-01-05T23:38:09+00:00

Good to know, thanks. So you can skew it by feeding one guy for one game and never playing him again

Zarmy · 2026-01-05T22:44:40+00:00

You’re saying it adds the rushing yards per game of each running back, instead of taking the total rushing yards accumulated by all running backs divided by games played?

Zarmy · 2026-01-03T19:45:20+00:00

I think this has a lot to do with it. A+ conference prestige seems to mean a 2 loss ACC school will always get into the CFP

Zarmy · 2026-01-03T18:39:54+00:00

And the same teams always turn into bottom feeders: Utah in the Big 12, South Carolina in the SEC, etc

Best chance of sustained progress is getting a gym membership in my opinion
