The good ole days

Man I remember when games were approaching their release date, it was so fun. Even when Cfb 25 came out it was great to be a part of the build up. Now, you have to speculate until the last minute. What’s wrong with a couple podcast from the developers about the potential of cool new additions? I love the breadcrumbs before the product. It’s seems like the gaming world is taking a bit from the music world and just releasing titles with not much information. Maybe I’m wrong and I’m sure there will be plenty of people that will sound off on that but this year’s release is very lack luster for me.

Lower-rated QB is way more accurate than my starter. Anyone else seen this?

I have a QB with:

95 short accuracy
92 medium accuracy
96 deep accuracy
89 throw on the run
83 throw under pressure
95 throw power
68 AWR

My third-string backup has:

82 short accuracy
79 medium accuracy
75 deep accuracy
80 throw on the run
69 throw under pressure
92 throw power
60 AWR

Both are dual-threat QBs. The higher-rated guy has Bronze Extender, Gold Dot, and Silver Mobile Resistance. The lower-rated guy has Silver Downhill, Bronze Option King, and Bronze Mobile Resistance.

But in practice mode, running the same offense and the same routes, the lower-rated QB consistently throws green or better balls and has about a 10% higher completion rate in game with a large sample size. It also just feels noticeably better using him.

Statistically, this makes no sense to me. If throwing ratings matter, the higher-rated QB should be way more consistent. Has anyone else experienced this in CFB 26? Is there some hidden rating, trait, release animation, ability interaction, or wear and tear effect that could explain it?

Cheating with Past Year’s Exams

Does anybody else hate that they have a message chain where you can “cheat” with exams from previous years? As a college student, professors literally give you their previous exams to study…

Would like recommendations on stock playbook. Good pocket passer, good shifty rb,s…elite to very good receivers. Solid o line

For more details pocket passer has 95 throw power. Deep acc 94, medium 96,short 98

All RBs are 92-94 speed. Maxed out (95 or above ) elusiveness

O line is mostly 80-87 ovr. Mix if well rounded and agile with a raw strength center. Average 83-86 run block and 84 ish pass block.

We are speedster or contested specialist all have 93 or above speed and 94 or above catch.

Edit: Also a impact blocking fb

This league doesn’t allow custom.

I’m thinking Louisville for run and pass

But would love opinions. Thanks in advance !!!

Kinda digging this setup out of Bunch TE

Gun Bunch - MTN Spacing

RB motion is honestly just false motion bc this formation has multiple plays where the RB does this.

Reads

  1. Drag
  2. Return
  3. Post

Basically if the drag is open throw it, then the streak pulls the LB to open up the return, then the streak pulls the safety for the post. So you just hit the drag quick, or high low the return/post.

Kinda loving it. And in the video multiple guys were but I just wanted to go all the way through the play.

Are makeshift formation subs cheesy? Or am I okay.

I love how Ben Johnson and McVay and these guys use 13p to create mismatches and offense. No playbooks do it we’ll stock. Formation subs are tricky about a TE as a WR or A WR for RB.

Am I scummy if I move a pure blocker TE or Pure Possession to WR simple as a formation sun in condensed sets to create 12/13p from 11p sets?

THIS was called a TD

They called this a TD before his feet even hit the ground, THEN it was automatically reviewed and still called a TD 🫩🫩🫩

Transfer Portal thoughts

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the sliders for TP? I see the majority of ppl keep them at default and some like decreasing/increasing them.
It’s hard to find a middle ground I think in regards to making it fair for the smaller school teams. Most ppl like decreasing the sliders to make it “realistic” so that there aren’t so many transfers and most players find a destination so that 5 and 4 star players aren’t just sitting there never signing and being deleted from the game. If you look at real life transfers huge schools such as Alabama had 30 transfers and small schools such as Appalachian State had the same amount. So when you decrease them to make them “realistic” are you really tho? I struggle finding a middle ground. What sliders do you prefer and why?

Desperately need a FS does this look promising or should I cut bait for a guaranteed 3 star impact FS

I have him on week 4 visit with a complimentary CB visiting as well. I have his perfect pitch with 3 green checkmarks as a A-, B+, B+

Do you think it’s close enough to win him over week 4?

Or should I get the comparable but lower ratings RS JR FS. I’m his number 1 interest with no other offers.

Thanks in advance !!!!

Top teams lists for HS/Portal players NEEDS to be dynamic! Logic for the CPU needs to be updated as well as their boards being dynamic

I’ve always said we need dynamic top teams lists for HS/Portal players. He’s a top 6 QB & Top 75 player in the nation yet he has no offers? He should’ve reset his list weeks ago with teams that’d be interested.
Multiple G5 teams should & would be going after a QB like this if they were midway through their HS szn with zero offers & that QB would also be searching for a home obviously & not just say “hmm I’m interested in these schools and these schools ONLY even though that haven’t shown a lick of interest back in me”. Just makes no sense at all.

We also need CPU teams to filter through the recruiting pool biweekly bc I checked & Arkansas needs a QB & they aren’t recruiting him yet they’re #1 on his list. That’s why so many teams like South Carolina etc just tank with their overall, they don’t pursue recruits in a strategic & let’s be honest commonsensical way. I’m tired of seeing teams with 8 QBs & 3 CBs, just nothing makes sense & nothing is dynamic.

This stops players from disappearing into the abyss in recruiting & makes things in the landscape balanced & reasonable. Also makes recruiting a bit tougher

This has to be addressed in CFB27, what do y’all think?

u/From214 — 2 days ago

Never firing my DC he’s an evil genius, cover 2 & are snap it’s cover 1 w a blitz the QB (transfer from my team) never sees it coming! Gotta love slow sim! Now EA fix coach mode!!

The QB is a former 5 star that I landed the season before & transferred out, I know he doesn’t miss facing this defense. He had a LONG day

Impressive they scored 24 points with 0 yards of offense 🤦🏻‍♂️

This game never fails to amaze me with stuff like this. Seems like you wouldn’t see something like this happening even on the PS2 games but now it’s all the time 😅
