EA has released College Football 26 update 1.015 (complete version 1.015.000), and this adds new content for free to all game owners. Football fans can expect new uniforms, helmets, and equipment to be added, which should further enhance the realism of the sports sim.
Given the timing, this is most likely the last content update for the football sim for the year.
For the list of new uniforms added and other info, head on below.
College Football 26’s Update for December 4 Adds New Content via Patch 1.015
Update: EA has released a proper changelog of some of the new improvements applied, which we’ve listed below.
New Improvements
- Smarter AI run playcalling & north–south ball carrier logic
- Improved AI QB sack avoidance & late-game clock management
- QB juke exploit fixes + stronger defender containment
- Coach adjustment reset issue resolved
AI Play
- Modified AI run game playcalling logic to rely more heavily on their most effective run types.
- Reduced unnecessary skill moves by ball carriers, both inside the tackles and behind the line of scrimmage, to focus on decisive, north–south running.
- AI QB’s will now have better consideration of throwing the ball away when all receivers are covered to avoid taking unnecessary sacks.
- AI QB clock management improved by targeting the end zone or throwing the ball away near halftime and in late-game situations.
General Gameplay
- Addressed the unrealistic QB speed boost when juking in the backfield while not holding Sprint.
- Improved defender pursuit so they maintain proper containment angles against QB jukes.
- With these fixes, both aspects of QB jukes behind the line have been rebalanced — no more unintended speed boosts, and defenders now keep stronger containment.
- Fixed an issue where changing Wear & Tear Subs at playcall would reset your coach adjustments.
