Had a ton of fun competing in the first live event for CFB25!
@EASPORTSCollege
To finally just get a live event win is a pretty big accomplishment and this Heisman House Honorary Key signed by Reggie Bush is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen given out in a tourney.
that brought back CFB25 and allowing for there to be a competitive scene in year 1! Can’t wait for what Competitive Gaming for CFB has coming!

3 gameplay issues I’d love to see fixed in Madden 27
1. Green-time / tipped INTs
Great idea, but the physics system still kills too many of them.
When @Dez805_ first showed me M23 Pick Artist, I couldn’t believe he valued it over Inside Shade, until I saw it pick off 90%+ of rly every tipped ball. That should be the standard.
Clip: 90 CTH, 90 CIT, Superstar X-Factor Travis Hunter drops a pick I greened that flips to white.
2. Zone coverage / switch stick
@Henry773_ showed it: a 71 zone and an 88 zone player play the same. That can’t happen. Every zone threshold needs its own reaction time. A 30 zone 97 speed WR at DB, a 70 zone, and an 88 zone should never play alike. Change the reaction time for each threshold (let's say .5 seconds for 70 zone and .3 seconds for 88 zone)
I've also heard an argument for "People don't use zone drops/zone aggressiveness enough" I said this last year and I'll say it again. It doesn't matter if you have 1,000 new features. Until "standard zone" is good, none of the other new features matter.
Switch stick isn’t the problem, but EA has shown they don't want to buff zones with it. A user today covers less ground than a Madden 21 user did. (When zone was good). Need to have a mindset shift that even with switch stick zones can be much better.
3. Audible / formation shift speed
(Not referring to the glitch will get patched)
Shifting/audibling is fine. The speed isn’t.
Clip shows
Doubles Clamp Stack
To get to Normal Y Off Close: Under 3 sec
Bunch TE: Under 4.5 sec
You’re no longer defending one formation, you’re defending two with 4.5 seconds to adjust. Audibles should take 7–8 seconds. Until that changes, defense stays at a massive disadvantage. Let me align my defense however I want pre-snap.
Bonus: Movement
It favors offense in every way. Go back and compare CFB 25 to CFB 27, or Madden 21 to Madden 27. Defense has been rough all next gen. Short of reverting to CFB 25 movement (minus speed boosting), I’m hoping PS6 is where they fix it.

My halftime overreaction of this Seahawks Game.
I think I'm ready to say the Bears are the best team in the NFC, but I really don't think it's because of what they do offensively. (Still clearly elite, but I think a little overhyped)
Dennis Allen is coaching his mind out of this defensive unit. Probably a bottom 10 talent group and he has them looking Top 7-10 unit throughout the year. Simmons is a huge get.
They should be hyper aggressive getting an Edge/CB

Spent The Last Month Taking A NMS Account In CFB To Top 100 (Finished 22nd)
Offense: Cal (5 WR Tight)
Defense: Texas State (335 High Penny)
- TBD on who I'm taking in the Pack
3 Biggest Takeaways
1. Speed
Once you get your team into 3 Speed as the fastest WR/DB really don't A 93 Speed WR and 90 Speed DB are pretty much the same thing.
2. Cutter/House Call.
Only 2 abilities that matter, spend your coins on that nothing else matters.
3. Height
TBC has taken over the game (probably in a bad way) but height helps negate some of the "broken" aspects within it.

My opinion, people aren't blitzing because they're not willing to sacrifice numbers.
My issues with blitzing are the coverages behind it
1. You can't blitz out of man press, because a streak auto wins
2. You can't blitz out of backed off man, because a pass lead auto wins
3. You can't blitz out of zone because the route tree is too insane, you have to guess the EXACT play for it to be effective
4. The biggest reason, blitzing off the edge is almost impossible because the TEs/WRs chip whoever's blitzing and deters them while not affecting the receiver's route at all
All of these together result in players sending out 5 every single play. It's been pretty often with this the past few years.

It’s been very clear to me that @MisterCiv that I need to tweet more for CivilGG purposes.
Going forward any *cheese* comp blitz I’ll post the exact way to block it on Twitter!
Curious to see all the blitzes that come out of the patch today!

Genuine Question.
If you're more of a casual Madden/CFB player.
What's supposed to be good on defense?
- If Man To Man is good it's "braindead"
- If there's a Blitz it's "cheesy"
- If there's Zone KOs it's "unrealistic"
- If Zone is OP it's "They wouldn't actually play that irl"
- If there's drop picks it's "They play defense for a reason"
- If there's Sheds it "My O-line should block better"
Just trying to bride some form of gap about what's supposed to be good on defense.
I really do think from a casual POV, they would make the most offensive game in the history of football video games if they could lol.

If you believe untargetting was a balanced feature I’ll just tip my cap.
I could make arguments it was one of the worst features ever added but I decided to not speak on it because people would just call me biased and ass on defense.
Congrats, you untarget a player now he walks in free.
Use the other 15 features.
Also sick and tired of this “idea” there was blitzes pre patch. Look at the state of the game since Madden 26 ignoring the start of 27.
0 effective blitzes.

Not sure where the origination of the change came from, but I agree with you 100%.
Tired of the game changing to fit the comp madden complaints.
The game went backwards today and made setting your OL protection pretty useless because people did not need to find blitzes in the game with DoN being so powerful.

Great video from Henry here about blitzing.
It looks like it’s only a free rush if you manually untarget a player.
I personally think this is a phenomenal change as untargetting manually would still allow the o-line to pick it up pre patch, which is absolutely idiotic.

Full Video of me testing out the Empty Blocking w/ players outside of tackle box
For the guys who don't want to watch a 3 minute clip

- NGL it seems pretty mid unless I'm doing it wrong. I thought this would've brought back the drag out contain defense from beginning of year t seems as not
- It DOES seem to work if you hover and they DON'T untarget you however

🚨MADDEN 27 PATCH DAY TOMMOROW 🚨
1. Double or Nothing.
Would be stunned to see people keep using this ability, I expect people to start using Pass Committed.
2. Empty Pass Protection.
I cannot believe this got changed. I have been ADAMANT that Empty pass protection has en 26 creating 0 chess match at the LOS. Who knows what will happen but glad to see that it won't work the same way for an entire year.
3. Untarget.
Very happy to see this change, don't care about what people think of this. If you manually untarget a player that player shouldn't be blocked/chipped and should get a free rush to the QB. I also cannot believe that this is getting patched.

Patching Double or Nothing STUNS Me.
After this is nerfed I really do not think there will be 1 ability/feature that favors defense.
I DO NOT think a Double or Nothing meta is great for the game.
I also do not think you can patch it in this current state of Madden.
