College Football 26 – Gameplay Deep Dive
DYNAMIC SUBS – NO MORE PAUSING, JUST PLAYING
For as long as football games have existed, making substitutions meant pausing the game, diving into menus, and breaking the flow of the action. With the addition of Wear and Tear and Confidence and Composure, you told us you wanted more options when it came to moving players in and out. We listened. Introducing Dynamic Subs, a new feature that brings real-time roster management directly onto the field. Now, strategic substitutions can happen seamlessly—without ever leaving the action.
SUB CONTROL
It couldn't be easier. During pre-play, simply press Up on the D-pad to instantly access who is on the field. Then cycle players in and out by tapping Left or Right on the D-pad. Just like traditional depth chart subs, once you make a change, it sticks—ensuring your lineup decisions remain strategic, deliberate, and impactful. Whether you're matching personnel against specific formations or responding to player fatigue, this feature keeps you locked into the rhythm and flow of the game.
SMARTER SUBBING WITH TAILORED FILTERS
To streamline substitutions even further, we've introduced targeted filters that get the right players on the field quicker:
- Defense: Manage your entire defensive unit at once, or quickly jump to specific groups like your Linebackers or Defensive Line.
- Offense: Cycle between your full offense, Skill Players, or Offensive Line, ensuring you make exactly the right sub at exactly the right time.
- Reset to Starters: Want your best guys back out there immediately? Hit Square on PlayStation® or X on Xbox, and your starters are instantly back in.
REAL-TIME HEALTH INSIGHTS
Subbing isn't just about fresh legs; it's about knowing exactly who's ready to go and who needs a break. Within the On The Fly Subs interface, you'll now clearly see:
- Wear & Tear Indicators: Visual pip indicators show the most impacted body parts, tied directly to our Wear and Tear system. You'll easily see which body part is banged up and how bad.
- Overall Ratings: Instantly assess each player's current effectiveness, helping you make the smartest personnel decisions on the fly.
