CFB 26 has been out for a while now. Compared to EA CFB 25, which was one of the best sports games last year, it is making steady progress and breaking the old saying of sophomore slump.
The game can be better this season than last year because it solves the core problem of the same gameplay of sports games. And it has a very solid foundation, inheriting and carrying forward the advantages of CUT 25’s infectious and traditional sense. It does not reform the game mechanics, but more improvements, so that it will not lose previous players and will attract new players.
When you start the game, you will find the mystery of this improvement, and naturally you will know why NCAA 26 can break the curse. Here are the improvements made by the game this year, which are also the reasons why it can break the old saying.
Trophy Room
First, the only new mode in the game. College Football has a very long history, so this year the game developers added a trophy display room, which can collect the trophies won by players throughout their careers in the game. No matter which mode the player is in, they can see these trophies placed together, which is a very fulfilling thing and can stimulate the player’s interest in the game.
After talking about the new mode, it’s time to talk about the improved mode of the game. This year, the game has improved the two modes of Ultimate Team and Road to Glory.
Ultimate Team
Tutorial
The game retains the tutorial that old players really want to remove in Ultimate Team. They think that the existence of the tutorial is to attract new players and then make money. In fact, if a player who is interested in football games but has never played starts playing from CUT 26, without this tutorial, they can only wander around aimlessly and explore on their own. This will take a lot of time, energy and CFB 26 Coins, and not everyone has such patience.
From the perspective of letting new players wander around aimlessly and letting all interested players indulge in CUT 26, the existence of the tutorial is still good.
Two Functions
In addition, the game developers have also made experience updates to two functions of Ultimate Team. The first feature lets you know immediately if a player is better than someone in your current lineup and gear him without going into other menus.
The second feature lets you see your challenges on the match schedule screen and adjust them on the fly without even pausing.
Road To Glory
The biggest change this year is Road to Glory. In addition to creating a player to start your college career, you can now play high school games, which determines where your college career starts.
In addition, this year’s game has added more customization options, allowing players to build their favorite, unique and exclusive players. That’s interesting, isn’t it?
On-Court Adjustments
In addition to the new modes and the two improved features mentioned above, this year’s game also made on-field adjustments, which may be the best adjustment this year. Specifically, it is about the way defenders receive the ball, dynamic substitutions, and the defensive player customization function area.
Catch The Ball Way
Players who have played College Football in previous years should find that the defenders seem to have eyes on their backs and can intercept invisible passes. This year, the game developers have improved this. The defenders must see the ball to intercept. This is a great change, which will have two effects:
- Players have a reason to block the ball
- Better defenders can do actions that ordinary defenders cannot do
Dynamic Substitution
Dynamic substitution allows players to replace players on the field in addition to on the tactical screen. This can make the player’s game strategy more flexible and increase the challenge of the game.

Custom Function Area
Last year’s CFB 25 had an offensive route customization option, and this year the game developers made up for this defensive version of the customization option.
It allows players to set the desired area on the field in real time without going through the menu. This allows us to see that in the future, the game will be able to realize players running on and off the field in real time. The game will be more realistic and easier for players to immerse themselves.
In short, College Football 26 has taken a bigger step than last year, but it still has room for improvement. For example, can Ultimate Team tutorial be improved to become the tutorial for the entire game? We look forward to its performance in the next season, and believe that it will continue this steady progress.
