Fortunately for fans, on Tuesday, EA released its first official patch for College Football 26. It was posted on the EA Forums, showing all the changes for the game's first update since its launch. The patch notes address some big gameplay bugs as well as some problems in one of the most popular game modes, Road to Glory.

College Football 26 patch update: Gameplay changes

When the game launched, many fans were excited to see what it had to offer that was different from College Football 25. While there were improvements to gameplay, there were also some new bugs and problems. Fortunately for gamers, the patch on Tuesday addressed several of them.

One of the biggest problems was an issue that caused linebackers to run slower than intended when defending running plays. This was fixed. Additionally, the developers fixed an issue where a blocked kick would not play out when using a left-footed kicker.

A rare issue where players were sometimes unable to snap the ball after inputting a specific button combo was addressed. Along with that, a bug caused wide receivers to get a speed boost when calling specific reverse pass plays. This should no longer be an issue.

Additionally, the development team did some tuning to reduce the size of the time window for perfectly timed stiff arms. Lastly, there was tuning to increase catch chances for interceptions.

Road to Glory changes in College Football 26

The development team also addressed a few problems that players were experiencing with the Road to Glory game mode. They reduced the positive and negative impacts of team Per Play Grading events for MIKE and CB. Additionally, they increased the positive and negative impacts of user Per Play Grading events for MIKE and CB.

While players are still likely to experience some issues in the coming weeks, this patch appears to have done a good job of fixing some of the biggest ones. Fans should expect to see consistent patches in the coming months to improve the state of the game.
