Roster Customization Guide

Roster editing is deeper than ever in College Football 26. The process is now broken down into CFB 26 Coins two core tabs:

1. Bio Tab

Name, height, weight, number, and appearance
Redshirt eligibility
Star rating out of high school
Dealbreaker Threshold - determines how quickly a player may transfer if unhappy

2. Skills & Abilities Tab

Archetype (Scrambler QB, Possession WR, etc.)
Development Trait (Slow, Normal, Fast)
Potential rating (Low/Medium/High)

Abilities System: Players receive Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum tiers in:

Physical Abilities (tied to archetype)
Mental Abilities (non-upgradable; position-based)

Your decisions here affect real-time Overall, Offense, and Defense ratings shown live on the Roster Tab as you build. Perfect for balancing teams.
