How to Improve Dynasty mode in College Football 26

Dynasty mode is, for many, the only reason they purchase the College Football games each year and why they are most excited for CFB 26. So, with that in mind, here are some ways that we think this mode can be improved in College Football 26 to help it actualize its full potential.

A disruption of the standard Dynasty gameplay loop

For most, Dynasty begins to get a bit stale when you have reached the pinnacle with your small school that you have rebuilt, which typically happens after a few years of recruiting, training, and eventually winning more and more games. While this cycle is a part of what makes this game mode so fun to play, some elements to provide more impactful roadblocks and speed bumps would be a nice challenge for more seasoned players. Almost a Dynasty “hard mode,” if you will.

But, what could this look like, practically?

The portal could, and probably should, gut small schools that are in the midst of rebuilds, as larger programs would be offering your incredible players larger sums of money than you ever could. The same would apply to coaches and would give players a whole new layer of difficulty when going about their rebuilds.

Even if this were a feature you could toggle on and off, it would be something that I think a large percentage of Dynasty aficionados would love to try out.

More pageantry and cut scenes

This is a fine line to walk, because too many cut scenes and players will begin skipping them without a second thought, but if they were rare enough, they could make Dynasty so much more.

A few examples of what a valuable cut scene could look like:

• Draft night of your first player ever drafted, or even the first player you recruited, getting drafted
• Your first 5-star recruit is visiting campus
• First bowl game, conference championship, national championship, etc.
• Losing players and coordinators to the portal

All of these can take you out of that standard loop, give you something unique to look at, and immerse you even more in the rebuild journey.

NIL & Recruiting upgrades

I talked about this at length in a previous article that was all about Dynasty mode recruiting, but the TL;DR is the following:

• Allow for more immersive and realistic NIL negotiations
• Give us more dialogue and interaction with recruits
• More coaching trees
• Pageantry and marketing need their spotlight to mimic the modern-day landscape (think CU in ’24-’25)
