Today, I pledged my support for @CountryRdsTrust, I’m not a rich man, in fact I’m a humble cashier. But the joy and spark of excitement I get from watching #WVUSports has been my medicine on many hard days, seeing our mountaineer athletes fight to win fills me with hope

You would have to win the national championship every single year for the next 150 years to max out your coach in College Football 27 for free. Or you can just pay EA ninety nine dollars and ninety nine cents.

I own this game and I'm not touching it until this gets fixed. It's Dynasty mode, single player, I'm not playing against anyone, and last year there was a setting for exactly this, Fast, Fastest, and now it's gone, deleted, replaced with a price tag on the same thing.

Road to Glory got it worse. Taking a created player from a 50 overall to an 80 overall runs about fifty bucks, against a coordinator who isn't even real.

A creator named @bordeauxyoutube, somebody who's defended this franchise for years, messaged an EA developer and asked if the fast settings got pulled on purpose. Got ghosted, not a yes, not a no, just nothing.

@NotTheExpertYT, another guy who's been fair to this franchise for years, called it heinous, and when your own defenders start reaching for that word, EA should be worried.

Who sits in a meeting and signs off on charging a grown man a hundred dollars to beat a computer faster?

I can't get there.

Ultimate Team, fine, that's always been pay to win, you know the deal. This one's different, call it what it is, a cover charge, a vig, and a valet fee, for a video game you play alone.

It's DISGUSTING, and the wildest part is they were betting nobody would actually sit down and do the math on a hundred and fifty years.

It really seems like it is everybody (including some people who worked on CFB 27) VS the decision makers at EA

There is still an opportunity for @EASPORTSCollege to make it right, but whoever is calling the shots would have to sign off

Give us “Our Game” back. Remove microtransactions and add back the fast XP settings. At least attempt to even find a middle ground

Do something because continuing to double down on the current state with no changes is ruining what should be an amazing launch moment for CFB 27

and if there is anything I have learned about the College Football community, they are loud, they are vocal, and they won’t just shut up bc you tried to ignore it #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

[Bordeaux @bordeauxyoutube]

EA has responded, but sounds like they’re gonna stand firm for now and double down on the changes with micro transactions

They’re also using creators to push their messaging without making a statement themselves or addressing anything

“the core coach level progression is unchanged from CFB 26” true, but normal is way too slow, and you REMOVED 2 faster settings

They acknowledge “Fast/Faster Coach Progression was removed from Dynasty,” 0 update on a plan to bring it back

ZERO mention of removing XP sliders from Road to Glory either

“continuing to monitor community feedback” basically meaning we don’t wanna make a change because we think it’ll blow over lmao

I can’t believe this is the response the College Football team is making. Do better @EASPORTSCollege #CFBPlayDontPay

[Bordeaux @bordeauxyoutube]

IDGAF about a partnership. Make a stand against micro transactions in Dynasty and RTG. Take them out and bring XP sliders back @EASPORTSCollege #CFBPlayDontPay

Look what the Big 12 championship means to Jordan Harrison 🥹

She dropped 21 PTS and 6 REB in the win over TCU 👏

[Big 12 Conference @Big12Conference]

For the first time since 2017, @WVUWBB has claimed the Big 12 Women's Basketball Tournament Championship 🏆

[Blanco Beet 🐝 @Beet_R]

Never forget when @NCAA and @Big12Conference ho'd out WVU for Caitlin Clark lmfao

[Ethan Bock @ethanbock_]

So based off of what Bubba Cunningham said last year about WVU, UNC should miss the tournament

[YourFavWestVirginian @YourFavWV]

Great Coaches come from West Virginia

[West Virginia Football @WVUfootball]

[Three Year Letterman @3YearLetterman]

These things are handled so inconsistently. TJ Finley is on like his eighth school

Just put a 5 year hard cap on everyone. Doesn’t matter what the reason is - you get 5 max. 6th and 7th years were almost unheard of pre-2020 and we need to get back to that

[Jared Hill @JaredHill304]

Well it’s official, y’all did it, I don’t care about college sports anymore, nobody actually cares about the team they play for anymore, it’s all just to get paid
