College Football 25 July 22 update patch notes

AUDIO

• Incorrect commentary when playing as the first game of the season in Dynasty at Utah
• Florida State's War Chant and Tennessee's "Rocky Top" are not audible when playing only on Xbox Series S

LOGOS

• The following teams/conferences have incorrect logos: Stanford, UMass, Western Michigan, Jacksonville State, FIU, New Mexico, SEC, Conference USA, and the Sun Belt
• UTEP and Wyoming display incorrect athletic branding on their equipment in Dynasty
• Visual issue with conference patches when changing a small subset of teams Conference in Dynasty

DYNASTY

• Super Sim Logic Tuning: The team is looking into tuning of the Super Sim Logic, including FCS schools upsetting too many Power 5 schools
  • Note: As we continue internal testing on the tuning of Super Sim Logic, Top 25 Polls & the College Football Playoff seedings will also see an improvement.
• Issue when adding additional teams to the PAC-12 conference when using custom conferences does not generate a new conference schedule as intended.
  • Workaround: After adding teams to the PAC-12, open the Conference Rules and set Divisions to ON. Users will see they can now set the number of conference games by toggling back and forth. Users can then disable divisions and edit other settings as desired.
• Issue with modified conference rules not saving
  • Workaround: Users can re-enter the Conference Rules screen to ensure their settings were saved and are valid. If they did not save, then the rules are not valid with their current setup.
• Occasionally, when a recruit reaches their Top 5 stage, it will not display the recruit is "Ready for a Visit" despite meeting the requirements.
• Recruiting Tuning: The team has planned additional tuning to recruiting logic.
• Small chance of a freeze when simulating individual plays quickly after exiting "Super Sim"
  • Workaround: Wait a couple seconds in between simulating the individual plays before exiting Super Sim.
• Issue with the Practice Tile not initially appearing in the "Team" tab
  • Workaround: Exit the mode and then re-enter.
• Current maximum cap of 20 created coaches instead of the intended 32 created coaches
  • Note: The team is targeting Tuesday for an issue fix that limits Dynasty's to 20 created coaches. A current workaround is using existing coaches in the remaining spots to reach 32.
• Issue with some players' jersey numbers and/or OVRs changing when editing certain players' gear.

Online Dynasty: A high priority for the team right now is the issue of some players being unable to load into a previously established online dynasty.

TEAM BUILDER

• When using a Team Builder team in Play Now, cleats are defaulted to Adidas regardless of selected brand apparel.
  • Note: This does not impact Team Builder teams used in Dynasty
• Second custom image layer not appearing on the field
  • Workaround: Add a second layer, then select a generic image, and then re-select your custom image.

EA Sports has released a big title update for College Football 25, which makes several changes and improvements to overall gameplay and the Dynasty and Ultimate Team modes.

The patch welcomes in Season 2 of College Football 25. It makes plenty of changes of its own, adding new formations to teams' playbooks, switching stick delay settings, and fixes for bugs such as defenders slipping through double teams without the right animation.

Players of Dynasty Mode can now edit ratings for non-NIL players and recruits, sub in their entire second unit or starting group at once, and more. In contrast, players of Ultimate Team will see myriad issues fixed including misaligned player upgrade and refund animations, milestone progress displaying incorrectly, error messages displaying after clicking Objectives in the Live Events tab, and more. The full patch notes are available below.
