EA Sports revived a community with EA Sports College Football 25 last year. Now, the development team is growing that community by expanding their investment in the quality of life elements that make Dynasty the leading mode of their game in EA Sports College Football 26 (CFB 26). During the media preview event, we spoke with Ben Haumiller, CFB 26's Principal Game Designer, who has been with EA for 25 years.  The first thing to note is that Ben Haumiller loves college football. More importantly, the NCAA series of games is what made him want to be a developer to begin with. Now, 25 years later, he shared his story on how he began working on EA's top-selling sports game.    To read the interview:  https://butwhytho.net/2025/06/college-football-26-dynasty-dealbreakers/
