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
If you're going to charge $70+ for a video game, I think microtransactions are only acceptable for legit DLC, cosmetics or UT (and even then, you need a no money spent option). Introducing them into single player modes is deeply anticonsumer and a troubling sign for EACFB
If I wasn’t clear enough yesterday, I will never work with @EASPORTSCollege again if they don’t reverse these decisions.
EA’s playbook will be to wait out the backlash. That’s why this conversation can’t stop. And trust me… we’re not the only ones who feel this way. #CFBPlayDontPay
#CFBPlayDontPay is already at #9. Let’s get it trending.
Remember, it’s not the devs we’re aiming at. It’s the greedy corpos at the EA executive level.

EA needs to learn a valuable lesson that you don’t mess with creators and regular fans by ruining our favorite modes with Microtransactions
I can’t believe that EA would add micro transactions in CFB27 for no reason. It should be a game where everyone can enjoy different modes without having to worry about it. Upgrading your coach/player should not be more expensive than buying the game itself. #CFBPlayDontPay
Truth be told, College Football 27 was the first game in a very long time (since Madden 06) where I actually preordered a game. I figured that I was going to get to relive the good old days of NCAA 06 and NCAA 14 with updated recruiting and customization.
To learn that micro transactions are everywhere is very disappointing.
So, I’ll join the #CFBPlayDontPay movement. @EASPORTS, let’s not get greedy, please. $70 is already pricey enough.
