College Football 26 July 15 Update Patch Notes—Snap Glitch & Improved Interceptions

College Football 26 is finally here, and after one week of making first impressions, players have a general idea of how they feel about the game, but are still trying to learn all of the new mechanics. For example, Adaptive AI has everyone stumped on how exactly it works.

Meanwhile, it has also taken time for players to relearn how to throw a touch pass, utilize Playmaker, and execute a lob. Along with refreshing themselves on how to play, players also discovered a few troubling glitches at launch. This update addresses some of those issues.

One of the worst glitches in College Football 26 is an issue that prevents players from snapping the ball. This is a serious problem because it can result in players being penalized for delay of game, which can cost them the game.

In addition, there are a few less serious glitches that still cause unintended problems, such as linebackers running slower than intended when defending running plays and wide receivers getting a speed boost. Both of those have been addressed, and interceptions have been improved.
