Gameplay is once again a focus for College Football 27. Here are the changes EA has confirmed ahead of the update:

  • Improved run action block targeting to better detect threats.
  • Fixed an issue where contains called through custom adjustments were not always respected.
  • Reduced the effectiveness of quarterback spin moves behind the line of scrimmage.
  • Tuned wide receiver catch success rates on off-target and hurried passes.
  • Addressed a field goal blocking issue involving looping defenders.

The adjustments specifically address blocking, defensive containment and passing situations that can affect moment-to-moment gameplay. We’ll have a better idea of their overall impact once Title Update 4.5 is available and players get time with the changes.
