Is there gonna be a Season Mode?

Does anybody know if there is gonna be a season mode or in Dynasty can you play games that don’t involve your team? Thanks!

EA Sports has only announced a season mode as a component of Ultimate Team, and that probably won’t be what you are looking for.

Based on how Franchise mode in Madden operates, I would call it “likely” that there will be options available to enable CPU assistance for recruiting, coach progression, and the coaching carousel in Dynasty mode so that you could minimize the number of things you have to focus on outside of games, but those assistant options have not been announced.

Similar to Franchise mode in Madden, each user character may only use one team, and you do not have the option to play or watch games which do not involve user-controlled teams.

Thanks CM Hooe, I was looking forward to playing some of the other bowl games. I’m not really into Dynasty mode, I guess I’ll have to look forward to Dynasty.😃 Thanks!

Wow....I was hoping to just play as random teams during the season. I'm not really a "dynasty" player either.

If you play an offline Dynasty, you have the option to create up to 32 users, and users are free to swap between teams at any time. This will allow you to hot swap between teams during the season as you wish.

The downside to this approach is that you will not be able to use TeamBuilder teams. I believe EA Sports has said TeamBuilder teams may only be used in Play Now and private online Dynasty saves.

Do we know for certain we can swap teams? If so, that's awesome.

Ok...maybe I misunderstood. I am strictly an offline, season user...so based on your explanation I will be able to play w/ random teams.

I admittedly am making an assumption here that the game will offer users a "Retire" option similar to Franchise mode in Madden, and my description of the ability to swap teams is based on how that command works in Madden.

Additionally, if CFB25 requires users to create coaches as opposed to selecting to embody an existing coach, swapping between teams frequently could be disruptive to teams' coaching staffs. We won't really know for sure what we can do until next week.
