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
Coach XP Speed settings have been modified for the upcoming title update in College Football 27.
While it’s not them just reverting the changes back to give us full control this seems to be the middle ground being found and we get ‘fast’ coach XP back.
EA is trying to get a win over on the community for “listening,” but all they did was the least they could
They brought back Dynasty coach XP sliders, but instead of bringing “Fastest” back, they brought back what “faster” was and NAMED IT “FASTEST”
For Road to Glory players, they did absolutely nothing. They tripled down. Road to Glory sliders are so crucial
They also acknowledge micro transactions by calling them “Coach XP Accelerators again” 😂
RTG is in trouble though. There is no freedom within that mode. Why should somebody wanting to play on an easier difficulty, or without wear and tear, effect how fast they progress?
We need more than this @EASPORTSCollege #CFBPlayDontPay
Exactly. And they’re gone if you start another dynasty. At least in ncaa14 when you bought the coach point add on it was able to be reused every time you made another coach. #CFBPlayDontPay
Never in my life ran an online dynasty or franchise. As many hours as I put into this game I refuse to not be able to play when I want due to servers being down or potentially lose my file due to a bug. Now having to pay to lvl up reasonably adds another reason.🚮 #CFBPlayDontPay
These design choices inside College Football 27 are really hard to ignore due to EA's recent decisions
If I start a Road to Glory as a 5-Star Pure Runner QB in CFB 27, my overall is only a 73. In CFB 26 with the same build, my overall would start as a 80
You would also have some physical abilities already unlocked and upgraded in CFB 26 as a higher rated recruit, but even as a 5-star in 27, I'm starting college with 0
The microtransactions are out of order for me and I'm trying to figure out why they're sorted this way
Dynasty defaults to Online now, instead of Offline like it did on CFB 26. It only gives you reasons to select Online, which is the one with micro transactions
When you double down on your stance, and lose the trust you have built within the community, the smaller things that I would never question are seen in a much different light. Do what's right. #CFBPlayDontPay
EA sent creators a memo doubling down yesterday instead of addressing the community. I hope you have something better today @EASPORTSCollege
It’s College Football 27 worldwide launch day, but you’ve been awfully quiet 🤔
The silence speaks for itself. #CFBPlayDontPay
Spent $150 on an absolutely ridiculous MVP+ membership just to be blindsided by microtransactions and basically ruining offline modes by nuking progression rates
EA is inarguably a horrible company run by pathetic people
#CFBPlayDontPay
One key thing that makes the Dynasty pushback from EA creators so massive- EA leaned HEAVILY on creators this year for marketing. You may notice they just dropped all the info on one day, didn’t pay tons of random people to push the every day drops of info, EA basically relied on creators this year. Now they spat in their face by hiding the micro transactions in Dynasty during their early play period. EA basically has 2 options.
1- Piss off all their current creators and keep the micro transactions, find a bunch of new guys to do the early videos next year (lol).
2- Buckle to the creators and community and fix the issue. Then proceed business as usual for early content for CFB 28 and invite the same people who they may have pissed off enough to not work with them.
They really cornered themselves.
You'll notice that Bordeaux, NTE, and the group leading #CFBPlayDontPay have not taken ONE swing at fellow creators, regardless of stance.
Follow their lead. Stop looking for drama. Focus on your fight you'll have more success.
THAT'S how we won the Fix Franchise movement.
“Just don’t buy the micro transactions”
“It’s in an offline mode, who cares”
These people are missing the entire crux of the reason that this is a problem. These billion dollar corporations will do anything, steep to any low, to squeeze every last dollar out of its own player base
Creators like @bordeauxyoutube and @NotTheExpertYT are essentially putting their careers on the line to say “enough is enough”. They both have my respect forever
Nothing will change unless we, as fans, declare in one voice that this is unacceptable
#CollegeFootball27 #EASports #CFBPlayDontPay
Not only is almost every creator speaking out, but so is your entire community
I’m extremely proud with how everybody has come together #CFBPlayDontPay
