College Football '26 family

[817 Boxing B]

Checking in to ask my OTF family.. where are we in our dynasties with Texas on the new edition of EA Sports College Football '26? I already have 2 5 stars signed in my 1st class and we're 5-0! Blew out Ohio State 38-14... and have given up a total of 22 points in the last 3 games.. including a 38-6 massacre of the Gators in the Swamp! It's Red River Rivalry Week for me.... so you know it UP!!!

This game does nothing but make the anticipation of the season almost unbearable! 🤣🤣🤘🏿

I haven’t played as much as I’ve liked but it’s definitely more detailed than last years and I like the ability of being able to upgrade the players vs the computer

I started off as OC so I could keep Sark. After the year 1 he took the HC job at Michigan, Arch went pro, and Simmons transferred…

I'm in a dynasty where we have to start out Group of 5, and same thing happened after year 1 Sark left for Michigan. I guess EA doesn't want Sark to stay in Austin.

Love the game… except for the blocking logic. Blocking is broken on this game. Can have a stacked oline against St Mary’s School For The Blind and they will get 3 rushers home within 2-3 seconds every play.

I agree.. boom or bust... mostly bust on traditional run game. Patches will be coming.

Make sure you take the penalty down to 0% or 1% to get the proper progression points for your players. The CPU disarms your ability to properly progression them by default if auto progress players isn't on, which of course we all want off. This is a very important factor in your ability to maintain and sustain success and actually see your recruits get developed. Thank me later... 💪🏾🤘🏿

To stop your main guys from transferring, you have to hit certain markers on offense or defense for each player. So for Colin, we have to dominate as a defense and not allow certain things.. all while getting them reps and results... with sacks. Pretty much with Sark and the staff go thru...🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿‍♂️

I usually just start as a OC with Texas, it’s hard for me to do a rebuild with them when they are already elite
