Game's Predictions of this year

Just thought I'll share what a simulation of the upcoming cfb year. I showed off the standings, conference champs, bowl games, awards winners, and playoffs.

EA feeling the heat?

I noticed yesterday that I have an offer for 30% off CFB27 on Xbox "based on my recent activity". Granted, I bought CFB25 (not 26), but I haven't played it for a long time, and my son has the same offer and he plays no sports games.

It's unusual for EA to be offering a discount like this so soon after release and I think it's a sign that they are feeling the effect of all the cancelations and bad press they got.

Crowd patterns

Hey everyone I’m doing a RTG I’m a halfback at Texas and the game doesn’t let me change the crowd pattern, is it cause I’m not a QB or is it cause Texas don’t do special crowd patterns

How to coach, not play?

Probably a stupid question here. Forgive me if I'm being an idiot.

I enjoy this game but don't like the "play as the quarterback, running back, etc." side of it. I enjoy the playbook building, recruiting, training, etc.

I have in the past simply set the games to AI vs. AI and watched my games (I don't want to sim them; I like each game to feel momentous). Is there a way to be an actual COACH on the sidelines (call plays, etc.) without needing to simulate actually being a player on the field? Is there some feature(s) that I'm missing?

Hope this makes sense.

Realism SIM dynasty league- week 1 blue chip teams available. Realistic RULES

[crossplay] Saturday Standard Football League (SSFL) — CFB 27 True Sim Dynasty | "If it wouldn't happen on Saturday, it doesn't happen here."

The SSFL is a user-driven, realism-first dynasty league launching with College Football 27 — and we're looking for coaches, not players.

WHAT WE ARE:
- True simulation. No custom playbooks, no abilities, no cheese. Sim-standard gameplay rules enforced (no-switch, no user catching, 4th down chart, blowout/mercy rules)
- 48-hour advances with a real scheduling system
- Open team selection — blue bloods included. Parity comes from recruiting caps (3x 5-star / 12x 4-star / 20x 3-star), not prestige restrictions
- User-controlled recruiting, coaching carousel with 2-season contract minimums, transfer portal realism rules
- Both teams stream every game. NO VOD = NO CASE. Full transparency, zero he-said-she-said

WHAT WE'RE BUILDING:
Program legacies over multiple seasons — player histories, power rankings, league media (SSFL Network), and a community that treats Saturday like it matters.

WHO WE WANT:
Active, reachable, competitive coaches who play the game the way it's played on real Saturdays. Dead weight gets replaced. Rulebook readers only — verification is required before you can claim a school.

WHO WE DON'T WANT:
Quick-snappers, screen-cheesers, rage-quitters, ghost members.

Full professional rulebook available on our Discord. Drop a comment or DM for an invite.

What’s up everyone. Are people still playing this game? I’ve been disappointed in CFB26/27 & I’m thinking about downloading 25 again because I loved that game. Talk to me. How we feelin?

Realism-Focused 1⭐️ Rebuild Hybrid Dynasty

We have a strong, active group of 19 returning users, and we’re looking for dedicated coaches to join the rebuild grind! This league has been running since the early CFB 25 days, and our goal is to create an immersive and balanced dynasty.

💡 League Setup
• 🎮 Play vs. CPU, Slow Sim vs. Users
• 🏆 Three-tier Promotion & Relegation system
• 🌎 Four regional conferences (up to 8 users per region)
• ⏩ 24-hour advances (⚡ 12-hour offseason advances)
• 📈 We’ve had immersive extras in the past including user rankings, betting lines, AI podcasts, awards, and more

⚙️ Rules & Settings
• ⏱ 5-minute quarters (No Accelerated Clock)
• 🔥 Heisman Difficulty
• 📖 5-play call limit | 3-play cooldown
• 🎥 Streaming required for user games and restarts
• 🚫 No custom playbooks in user games

⭐ Recruiting Balance
Recruiting restrictions (important in the future)keep every rebuild competitive:
• Maximum 3 five-star recruits per recruiting class
• Maximum 25 combined four- and five-star recruits per class
Elite talent is still available—you’ll just have to earn it.

📊 Realism First
Stat limits help reduce unrealistic stat padding and keep season accomplishments meaningful.
Our focus is building programs the right way—not exploiting game mechanics.

🔧 Year 1 of CFB 27
Since this is our first season on CFB 27, we’ll continue refining rules as we learn the new game. Any adjustments will be made with the interest of the entire league and the goal of keeping the dynasty balanced, fair, and fun for everyone.
This dynasty isn’t about who’s best on the sticks—it’s about who’s the best coach. If you enjoy rebuilding small programs, developing players, recruiting strategically, and building a contender over multiple seasons, you’ll fit right in.

*Some teams listed have since been claimed

Explain what I did wrong?

I have 99 overall QB with a 99 TE. It’s cover 2 and I’m running 4 verts. The timing is good. There is no pressure. This is the 2nd pick I’ve thrown all season. I am doing offense only. I’m having a hard time under the scripting of it or what I could have done to prevent it.

We’re the MDSFL, and we are sick of it. We are a dedicated, established College Footbal Dynasty League for serious GMs. We only use real Big Ten teams.
We need human intelligence. We need real people to run the front office, game plan, and handle recruitment. We provide the structure; you provide the actual skill.
We are currently recruiting the absolute best. We are looking for GMs who know the game, can commit to the schedule, and won't show up to the game with extra appendages.

INDIANA HOOSIERS (Must be a human, not a sentient house-basket object).
PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS (Required qualification: Normal human level of ocular redundancy—preferably two eyes, not six).
MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS (Ideal candidate is NOT perpetually melting).
NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS (We are legally a non-magical football program. No warlocks).
Think you have what it takes? Are you a human? Can you count to ten and not have seven arms? If so, the MDSFL needs you.
Apply NOW. Spots for these four teams are filling fast. DM us or comment below with your PSN/Xbox tag and the team you want to save from the machines.
