College Football 25 Patch Notes for Next Update, Major Bug Fixes Coming

While it's hard to deny how successful the return of College Football 25 has already been, any major game like this is going to hit some roadblocks that weren't caught in development. Whether it's Dynasty Mode hiccups or incorrect presentation details, fans are already honing in on anything College Football 25 didn't get right. Ahead of their first major patch, EA Sports has revealed early details about the upcoming College Football 25 update.

Upcoming Bug Fixes in College Football 25 Update Revealed

With early access and launch weekend in the books, there's still a handful of things EA Sports is planning to polish the College Football 25 experience even more. Players will probably have to wait a bit longer for additions like missing mascots or extra marching band songs, but some frustrating bugs and general updates are already in the works and could arrive soon.

In a new update from EA Sports, they've outlined several bug fixes that are already being worked on. They've also provided some temporary workarounds for several, and there are promises for several other updates in the future. Several cases where rosters or player likenesses need some tweaking, and a roster update is expected close to college football kickoff on August 24.

Once team rosters begin to finalize heading into the season, the initial College Football 25 roster update should get things more aligned and accurate. On top of that, EA Sports has reaffirmed that ratings updates will arrive throughout the season. We don't know if that'll be a weekly update like they've done with Madden throughout recent years, but regular ratings updates are expected throughout the coming weeks and months.

Finally, here are the bugs EA Sports is aware of and looking to address in the first College Football 25 patch:

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 MODE

• 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 work around is using existing coaches in the remaining spots to reach 32.
• Player 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. Updates can be found here.

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.

That wraps up everything EA Sports has confirmed is in the works, but we don't know exactly when all of these bug fixes will arrive. They did mention above that a hotfix specifically for the created coaches issue is targeted for Tuesday. Any other fixes that are ready could deploy then, but it may be a week or more before a full College Football 25 Title Update is released.
