SMU wants to become a legitimate national championship contender.

According to GM J.R. Sandlin, that means continuing to evolve with the new era of college football.

Being in Dallas gives SMU a major advantage. The coaches are building relationships, but the investment the program has made is opening doors that weren’t open before.

Now, they have to capitalize.

EA is trying to get a win over on the community for “listening,” but all they did was the least they could

They brought back Dynasty coach XP sliders, but instead of bringing “Fastest” back, they brought back what “faster” was and NAMED IT “FASTEST”

For Road to Glory players, they did absolutely nothing. They tripled down. Road to Glory sliders are so crucial

They also acknowledge micro transactions by calling them “Coach XP Accelerators again” 😂

RTG is in trouble though. There is no freedom within that mode. Why should somebody wanting to play on an easier difficulty, or without wear and tear, effect how fast they progress?

We need more than this @EASPORTSCollege #CFBPlayDontPay

[Bordeaux @bordeauxyoutube]

EA sent creators a memo doubling down yesterday instead of addressing the community. I hope you have something better today @EASPORTSCollege

It’s College Football 27 worldwide launch day, but you’ve been awfully quiet 🤔

The silence speaks for itself. #CFBPlayDontPay

[Bordeaux @bordeauxyoutube]

According to @MikeStrawMedia, many devs who knew about the stuff coming to College Football 27 were “livid” about it for months

He says “Even future single-player-only titles will have more monetization options enabled.” This is no longer about just CFB 27

This is about the future and direction of games coming from EA. I am speechless #CFBPlayDontPay

[TeeTop @xxTeeTop]

A battle that will not be easily won but we can’t quit! #CFBPlayDontPay

[Drew (NTE) @NotTheExpertYT]

A lot of these read off passive aggressive from EA. They are standing firm with their microtransactions. We can’t stand for this. Doubling down is sickening @EASPORTSCollege #CFBPlayDontPay

[Drew (NTE) @NotTheExpertYT]

EA also made it so if you turn off wear and tear in RTG you get lower XP gains. Further incentivizing you to spend money on the microtransactions. #CFBPlayDontPay

[Drew (NTE) @NotTheExpertYT]

Btw if you had Nick Saban’s exact career arc in CFB 27 you would not hit max level.

Greatest coach of all time. 7 nattys. Not enough. Only way is to pay real money.

[Bengal @BengalYouTube]

The most disappointing thing about @EASPORTSCollege and their reaction to #CFBPlayDontPay is to act like they didn’t change the coach XP progression when they deliberately took out the ways to earn XP faster for free in order to push you to buying the levels faster for real money. This was obviously no accident.

The whole point of dynasty is that it’s “your world”. If you want to change settings to go crazy, YOU CAN. If you want to see what would happen with injuries jacked up to 100, YOU CAN. You should be able to do whatever you want within your own fantasy land for football without having to pay extra for it.

Yes, you can still choose to not pay extra, but even if you argue that you aren’t being forced to pay… you are 100% being funneled into paying extra when coach levels take longer than they did previously, XP overall takes longer to gain, and the options to expedite any of that grind were removed in favor of real money alternatives. It shouldn’t take 25-30 years to max out your coach when most dynasty rebuilds will be completely over within 15 seasons. It’s blatant

[Drew (NTE) @NotTheExpertYT]

I’m with you Bordeaux. I also will never work with @EASPORTSCollege again if they don’t reverse these decisions. #CFBPlayDontPay

[Bordeaux @bordeauxyoutube]

If I wasn’t clear enough yesterday, I will never work with @EASPORTSCollege again if they don’t reverse these decisions.

EA’s playbook will be to wait out the backlash. That’s why this conversation can’t stop. And trust me… we’re not the only ones who feel this way. #CFBPlayDontPay

[Drew (NTE) @NotTheExpertYT]

I don’t care about an EA partnership. Shoving microtransactions in RTG and Dynasty is messed up and where I draw the line. #CFBPlayDontPay

[Bengal @BengalYouTube]

I’ve been seeing a lot of what the community has been saying about creators like myself who got the game early but I can assure you we were not briefed on microtransactions entering the offline modes. In fact I heard that there would not be microtransactions entering these modes but I don’t remember who told me that explicitly. I also wasn’t even aware that coach XP settings had been changed as that is not something I’ve ever messed with as I typically keep things to default settings to mirror the experience of 90% of the user base. I don’t inherently have a problem with microtransactions as long as there is transparency and if people who have less time to grind want to pay for a headstart I don’t really care, it’s just something I would personally avoid. What I absolutely have a problem with is sneaking them in WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY TAKING OUT the XP progression speed that gave creative control for free. This is not something that should be locked behind a paywall and doing it in this way I think is not only shady but a sign of things to come where core features are pay to play. Dynasty has the potential to be the best mode in any sports game and doing things like this “behind our backs” is not something we should accept. The greatness of this mode is that it is not like ultimate team. Go charge those guys whatever, it’s a pay to play mode. You win. But do not bring this pay to play model to what is at its core, an offline mode. It’s disappointing and we deserve better @EASPORTSCollege #CFBPlayDontPay
