College Football 26 is now out, and it brings with it tons of modes that help you relive and recreate exciting college football moments you’ve seen over the past year. The game has a ton of modes, but it is the Dynasty Mode that has received a lot of love.

The Dynasty Mode is a career mode of sorts. This mode puts you in the shoes of a college football coach with one goal: cement your legacy. You’ll face a ton of hurdles along the way as you set off to conquer the season and reach the top of the mountain, and these challenges can be modified with the game’s various difficulty settings.

The Dynasty Mode also has an adaptive AI setting that aims to push you harder than any challenge has ever before, but this is a setting that has been completely overlooked in the mode’s marketing. The game, too, does a poor job of explaining what the adaptive AI setting is or how it affects gameplay, but we’re here to help you with that.

What Is Adaptive AI in College Football 26?

As stated earlier, the Dynasty Mode in College Football 26 has a setting for adaptive AI. This setting allows you to adjust the AI you face during the game, automatically adjusting the challenge you face.

What adaptive AI does is study your playstyle and take note of all your strategic quirks. Once it sees you use the same few tricks a few times, it adapts. For instance, if you get too comfortable on the wing in the early game, the adaptive AI will adjust. The AI will then make the wings a nightmare to run through.

With adaptive AI enabled, the AI reads your every move. This makes it a scary prospect to go up against. While it may seem intimidating, this is one of the best ways to experience the mode. You’re forced to adapt to the adapting AI, and this prevents you from becoming complacent. The AI turns each match into an intense game of chess where you’re trying to outsmart your opponent.
