We won a battle yesterday, but not the war. There’s a reason I will still never work with @EASPORTSCollege again.
They reference “live service plans in CFB 28 and beyond.” Keep offline game modes pure, as a sandbox experience.
It takes guts to listen to your community and back down. I’m expecting the XP sliders will be back too, but trust will have to be rebuilt over time, not off one decision. #CFBPlayDontPay
EA took a fun OFFLINE game mode and is focused on “offsetting gameplay advantages.” Wtf are we doing? 😂 @EASPORTSCollege
Just say you want people to spend money on the micro transactions you added because the gaslighting will NOT work #CFBPlayDontPay
I find it so interesting in old EA titles, as you raise the difficutly in Road to Glory, it would give you less and less XP to increase the challenge
Now they've decided you'll get less XP for wanting to play on an easier difficulty, or without wear and tear on, at the same time they introduce microtransactions to the mode. Coincidence? #CFBPlayDontPay
Yesterday EA partially responded due to #CFBPlayDontPay, but they did almost nothing. It felt like they were seeing what they could get away with.
However, this shows they’re willing to cave now, but we have to keep making our voices heard
They’re probably thrilled it’s Friday, and hoping this all blows over during the weekend, but it won’t until they give the community what they deserve
Remove microtransactions from single player game modes and put back ALL of the fast XP sliders that were just in CFB 26.
We got some movement but it still misses the mark. The fastest option as it was last year is still not here. Anything less than the progression that was there previously makes it look like we are being incentivized to spend money.
RTG also appears to not have changed at all. These are offline single-player modes, why are we creating friction that wasn't previously there?
If you simply wanted to make progression harder that's one thing. You can't make it harder while also including a way to spend money to bypass it. That's not a coincidence, that's strategic friction. Now going forward, we can only assume the modes are being designed with this intent in mind if you do not change things back to how they were. #CFBPlayDontPay
