College Football 25’s ‘Lorem Ipsum’ Error Is Puzzling Fans [IGN]

College Football 25’s Early Access period has been out for less than 24 hours, and we are already seeing high player turnout, server errors, and a puzzling error code confusing some players.

Several users on X/Twitter pointed out that when they tried to play Dynasty Mode, they were met with an error that provided two Dynasty Type options, both of which read Lorem Ipsum and an image of a cloud slashed through.

Those experiencing this error are unable to access Dynasty Mode. This fan-favorite game mode allows players to become head coaches or offensive/defensive coordinators and coach a football program. Dynasty returns to EA’s college football series alongside Road to Glory.

From the looks of it, “Lorem Ipsum” is basic placeholder text that was never replaced. EA Sports has not officially commented on why this error is present in College Football 25.

Regardless, the error code has made playing Dynasty mode impossible for some players. However, X/Twitter user @Tall6uy posted that one effective troubleshooting method would be for players to disconnect from the internet and start Dynasty mode offline, though as user @_BrooklynBear points out, they attempted to play Dynasty mode offline and received the same placeholder icons.

Speaking of no bueno. I’m now trying to create an offline dynasty mode, and the screen has placeholder icons that lead to nowhere…. I guess I got to wait for a patch because someone didn’t check that. 😑 pic.twitter.com/ep4WSHzEdX
