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 @bordeauxyt, 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
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
You guys know where I stand on this….
Not only did they add micro transactions, but they also sneakily removed the settings to gain Coach XP. This has effectively ruined custom coach builds, which is one of the biggest components of Dynasty Mode. You’re now forced to either pay up or have a bad coach.
CFB 27 Dynasty has massive potential and was one of the most hyped launches I’ve seen in a while. The gameplay, new features, and all the quality of life changes are great. It’s a shame that the micro transactions and sneaky setting changes are ruining the sentiment around an otherwise great game.
Give us back the Faster and Fastest Coach XP settings.
#CFBPlayDontPay
this is bigger than just an xp slider or “not wanting to grind…”
This is about defending the absolute right to own our single-player experience. We paid more than full price to play the game. we shouldn't have to pay a tax to play it our way. Freedom > fees.
#CFBPlayDontPay
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
IDGAF about a partnership. Make a stand against micro transactions in Dynasty and RTG. Take them out and bring XP sliders back @EASPORTSCollege#CFBPlayDontPay
@MichaelWBratton He probably figures that a staff that can't teach at team how to play zone defense and then played zone for most of the game doesn't help you win period
He’s a recognizable character actor but nobody could say his name off the top of their head. He does well in his parts but nobody has ever gone to see a film just because he’s in it. Guys like him have always “struggled to make a living”* in Hollywood, regardless of race.
*in this case “struggle to make a living” means that you are worth just seven or eight figures instead of nine or ten.
