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
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
Since Bordeaux referenced some of the stuff that I've found in his #CFBPlayDontPay video I wanted to elaborate more on these issues and how we as a community need to stop this slippery slope before it has a chance to grow and rot our offline modes.

i don’t like being blindsided by micro transactions and removing features hidden behind all the new shiny stuff
i like the game a lot. the devs did a great job. whoever made the micro transaction decision did not #CFBPlayDontPay
@jwickgaming24@RealGmngCentral@softdrinktv It’s an offline mode, nobody is saying it’s difficult, we are saying it’s bullshit we have to pay to get our player upgraded quick or waste 2/4 seasons just to get to 86 overall.
It’s dumbass dudes like you who are the reason they get away with releasing this slop.
They gave us the EXACT SAME Hat Selection screen, HS Experience, HS random pop ups, and overall RTG experience with just a few new positions then made it absolutely unplayable with micro transactions. In no world if I pick a 5 star prospect and am ranked #1 in the country would I come into college at a 74 overall. Last year you started as a 80 overall, could change XP sliders and pre order bonuses alone would get you to 86-88 easily before week 1.
The game is ruined and it’s only gunna get worse from here on.
It feels like EA intentionally hid micros transactions into dynasty as a slow roll out so it could continue to get worse in the future
I asked a dev if it was an early access bug that the fast and fastest option was missing, heard nothing back
I still haven’t even found the screen to buy coach XP in Dynasty there’s no buttons to show it. Also apparently they took away custom XP sliders in Road to Glory too?
I don’t like the direction on this. I already said the MVP+ Membership was an awful idea, you shouldn’t have to buy Madden too if you want all the early college benefits
I am more scared our single player modes could be hit with heavy micro transactions since Ultimate Team is clearly not what college cares about
Also Drew said more in a reply about what early access capture was like this year… yeah way more anal than previous ones. More stressful than fun. Idc to do it again if it’s like that
@NFLFrascella Bo Nix out duels Josh Allen in the playoffs, Jordan Love in a late season high stakes game, and Mahomes in every game they’ve matched up but still gets zero respect from the garbage mainstream media. Sickening.
Bo Nix won a playoff game with zero run game, a receiving core who had the 2nd most drops itl, and a defense that didn’t force a punt all game and gave up 30 points.. and did it against the reigning league MVP
all time great carry job by Mista Nix
Russell Wilson in 2023 with the same OL we have now (with an arguably better center) took 45 sacks
Bo has taken 46 sacks in two seasons with that same OL
I don’t think anybody can comprehend how life-changing Bo has been for this team
I’ve released a new game!

Spin the wheel of qbs and select one aspect of their game until you have a complete player, then simulate the season to see how they would do. Put a lot of work into this one so would appreciate if you guys checked it out.
