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
My thoughts and prayers are with my guy CJ and his family.
I got the chance to share a locker room with both of these men. Tim Shaw, the other, has been fighting his battle with ALS since 2014.
Thank you both for using your journeys to inspire me and so many others. Keep fighting!

Chris Johnson’s ALS diagnosis stopped me in my tracks. Professional athletes move so beautifully, your mind never lets them slow down or stop. Then real life reminds you they do, we all do. I’m thinking about CJ2K and his family tonight.
We are deeply moved by former Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals running back Chris Johnson's decision to share his ALS diagnosis publicly. "ALS has changed what my body can do, but it hasn't changed who I am." His words are a powerful reminder that reflect the strength we see every day in the ALS community. Chris said he is choosing to fight and we are here to fight alongside him.
By speaking out, Chris is helping us raise the awareness and funding needed to find treatments and, one day, a cure. Thank you for choosing to fight — not just for yourself, but for the tens of thousands of Americans living with ALS today. We are honored to walk this road alongside you.

@MikeGrinnell_ what were the brothers you mentioned on this week’s pod? Pens fan and we took the Ruck brothers, couldn’t remember if it was them or not
Tim Lincecum won back-to-back Cy Young Awards, threw 2 no-hitters and won 3 World Series trophies 🤯
He became known as “The Freak”
But his story started in Washington, where he won Washington State Player of the Year after striking out 183 batters in just 91 and two-thirds innings in his senior year of high school
In his final season at the University of Washington, Lincecum had a 1.94 ERA, striking out 199 batters in 125 innings 😳
