College Football 26 has delivered its share of standout players this year, but few cards have generated as much hype as Cam Coleman and Malachi Tony. After running a full live-streamed gameplay session featuring both stars-alongside the always-electric Michael Vick-we finally got a complete look at how these cards perform in real-time, high-pressure situations CFB 26 Coins.

This breakdown takes you through the strengths, weaknesses, and moments of absolute chaos that defined the game. Whether you're deciding if these cards belong in your lineup or simply want to relive the wildness, this review covers everything: stats, abilities, big plays, frustrations, and the surprising final verdict.

Cam Coleman: The Definition of a Field-Stretching Monster

Let's start with the headliner-Cam Coleman, a 6'3" receiver with the exact blend of size and speed every CFB 26 offense wants. On paper, he looks unfair:

 95 Speed

 86 Short Route Running

 90 Medium Route Running

 90 Deep Route Running

 Gold-tier ability access

 Potential Takeoff for 10 AP

Even without equipping abilities, Coleman showed up as a natural playmaker. Every route felt crisp, every separation attempt felt dangerous, and every deep target felt like a potential momentum-shifting touchdown. His combination of height and acceleration makes him a mismatch against most DBs, and he proved that repeatedly during the stream.

One of the signature moments was the near-touchdown on a deep shot where Coleman elevated like a 6'7" high jumper. You could feel the entire chat holding its breath. He didn't get six, but the play summarized Coleman perfectly: explosive, violent acceleration, and terrifying for defenses.

And when he did get the ball in the open field? Forget it. Coleman on a speed-out or sharp cut basically guarantees a chunk gain. Even while running without abilities, he consistently created windows.

But the real standout came late in the game when Coleman snagged a sideline dot and turned it into a touchdown that felt like the climax of the storyline. Vick rolled out, waited, fired, and Coleman answered like a true WR1.

There is no doubt: Cam Coleman is one of the most exciting users in the receiver pool.

Malachi Tony: The Most Fun, Versatile, Underrated Weapon in the Game

If Coleman is the flashy superstar, Malachi Tony is the Swiss Army knife that makes an offense feel unstoppable.

 94 Speed

 5'11"

 90+ Route Running Across the Board

 Gold Tier Abilities

 Takeoff for 10 AP

But the magic really comes from his versatility. Tony wasn't just running routes-he was lining up at running back, breaking tackles, bouncing runs outside, and absorbing contact like a compact powerhouse.

Early in the gameplay, Tony ripped off several chunk runs simply by fighting for extra yards. Even the audience was in disbelief at how hard he was fighting through contact. For a 5'11" receiver-turned-back, he showed surprising strength and balance.

He also made clutch catches, including one where he bailed out a late throw with a tight-window grab that had no business being caught. When we needed first downs, when we needed quick routes, when the offense felt messy-Tony showed up.

There's a reason the final verdict praises him heavily.

Michael Vick: Still One of the Most Dangerous Cards in CFB 26

It wouldn't be a proper gameplay session without the chaos and brilliance of Michael Vick. And he delivered both.

From effortless rollouts to scrambling past spies that couldn't possibly keep up, Vick once again played like a quarterback that forces defenses into panic mode. Even when mistakes or dropped picks happened, it felt like Vick always had a counterpunch ready.

He broke multiple plays by simply avoiding pressure and getting to the edge. Several times, the only smart decision was to tuck and run-and each time he did, the defense looked like they were chasing a shadow.

But Vic also threw dots, including a gorgeous touchdown to Kenyan Sadiq and multiple sideline lasers to Coleman and Tony.

If there's one takeaway: defenses are still not built to contain a player like Vick.

Gameplay Chaos: Picks, Drops, RNG, and Emotional Damage

One thing this stream made clear is that CFB 26 is still a magnet for randomness. If you've played the game, you know the exact pain:

Dropped Interceptions? Countless.

There were plays where defenders had the ball hit them in the face, chest, or hands-but the game simply decided, "No, you don't get that one."

Eight, nine, ten dropped picks? It felt like it.

Offensive Line Randomness? On Full Display.

Stunts got picked up one play and then broke the entire pocket the next-even with the exact same call and protection setup.

Nothing triggers a player more than consistency breaking without explanation.At one point, number six abandoned his assignment to chase a ghost, blowing up a block that should've been free yardage. The commentary said it perfectly:

Opponents Throwing Picks Directly At Us-Still Not Caught

There were multiple plays where the opponent threw passes straight at defenders who acted like volleyball players instead of DBs. Hands? Optional.

It wasn't until late in the game that the defense finally-finally-grabbed a few.

And when they did?

It felt like winning a lottery.

Big Moments, Big Plays, Big Yards

Despite the chaos, the gameplay delivered some electric highlights:

Cam Coleman's Touchdowns

His route-running and physicality came through on multiple scoring drives. Even plays that didn't score showed he was on another tier.

Malachi Tony Breaking Off-RB Runs

The cuts, the balance, the willingness to fight for yards-Tony played like someone trying to earn a permanent spot.

Steve Slayton-The Unsung Hero

Steve delivered several clutch runs and receptions that preserved drives. Every time he touched the ball, he felt reliable, quick, and explosive.

Kendall Daniels' Timely Picks

After several throws into coverage bounced off defenders, Daniels stepped up with key interceptions that saved the defense's sanity.

Final Verdict: Should You Get Cam Coleman or Malachi Tony?

After a full gameplay test, here's the takeaway:

Cam Coleman-Incredible, But Pricey

Coleman is a monster. His speed, size, and route-running make him one of the best receivers in the game. But at 1.5 million coins, he becomes a luxury, not a necessity.

The offense in CFB 26 is so easy to run right now that overspending doesn't feel required unless you're building a theme team or want perfect depth.

Verdict:

Great card, great performance, but not essential for most players. Selling him makes sense for coin management.

Malachi Tony-A Must-Try, High-Fun Card

Tony is an absolute blast. His ability to play WR or RB, paired with his speed and route running, gives him insane versatility. He feels unique, he feels dynamic, and he feels impactful on every drive.

Verdict:

One of the most FUN cards in the entire game. Highly recommended.
