Limits to Player Editing in EA Sports College Football 25 FAQ

[fnz21]

The one place I saw this mentioned specifically said "you can't edit attributes" but I think sometimes people use "attributes" as their height, weight, name, etc. and use "ratings" for player ratings.

I get why we wouldn't be able to change these things given how we got here, but the inability to edit ratings, equipment, jersey numbers OFFLINE in the privacy of my own home is such overkill. If I made Quinn Ewers the fastest man on the planet, and nobody knew that but me, who am I hurting? If I turned Travis Hunter into the greatest kicker of all time, does that impact anybody?

I would love this. If I'm a fan of a team that's not very good, I'd love to add /remove players BEFORE I start a dynasty mode. College Hoops 2k8 had the ability to add remove players from teams, essentially creating a free agent pool (those players would just not exist in legacy mode if not assigned to a team). We're already going to living a fake world where Arch Manning doesn't exist, why not be able to make Travis Hunter transfer to Boise State before starting a Dynasty?

But, what if I'm not disciplined enough to just play my offline dynasty in the privacy of my own home and I decide to livestream it on Twitch or YouTube with the edits I made? I'm sure they are thinking about things like that as well.

Streamers ruining it all for us again!

But couldn't there be a "this scene is blocked" or "recording paused" or something because edits were made?

I don't understand the difference between this and some star freshman on Ohio State right now who transfers in a Dynasty mode to Michigan. Would streamers not be allowed to stream that? It's a real guy on a different team then he is in real life. Wouldn't that be not in the initial NIL agreement? (a confusing sentence)

Since NCAA much like Madden doesn't come with historic teams being able to edit current players was one of my favorite things to do. I know you can create players but it would appear you won't be able to add that many created players to the existing rosters do to roster limitations in size. Unless there's some kind of way you can drop players from rosters and created players replace each of those dropped players. Team builder might be the best way to go this year. But it'll be interesting to see how many actual team builder teams can be imported into an actual dynasty your looking to play. Crossing fingers they atleast give us the option to replace up to 24-32 teams in our offline dynasty with Team Builder created schools. Anything above that would be amazing and gravy on top. Also with Barry Sanders opting out of EA football I wonder if that also plays a role in player creation

If the game sells well (which I think it will) then next year it will be on the PC.

Then everything changes in regards to what we can do with our product that we've bought. #MODS

I find it crazy we couldn’t edit equipment at the very least. I understand certain brands being locked in based on the team, but not having the ability for example to put long sleeves on a guy or even ankle tape seems wild to me.

I don’t actually understand what NIL problem there would be with us editing real player attributes or equipment. I get why we can’t rename them, or name people the same as real life opt outs, but I don’t see how us being able to adjust attributes would’ve been any sort of problem.

Yeah, why not do it like the old NCAA's where we could edit whatever we wanted so long as it wasn't playable online. But I guess there's legal stuff to NIL that prohibit it.

My guess is, and I hope I'm right, these are just examples of them not adding things to the game they are unsure about and the legality of how all the NIL stuff works is not yet figured out so maybe we'll see it once the abundance of caution is removed.
