Which Game Modes Get Affected by Server Maintenance?
During server maintenance, you can still play College Football 26 completely, except for one particular mode. At such times, you’ll be unable to dive into matchmaking modes, which is the College Football Ultimate Team (CUT) part of the game. Since the servers are temporarily out of order, you’ll also be unable to play friendly matches in online mode.
Similarly, if you attempt to create or edit your creations during a server maintenance period, you could face errors. So, for all of these activities, you’ll want to wait for the servers to get back up and running.
