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
They took features out of a single player game that’ve been there for 2 years and replaced it with paying to upgrade your player/coach faster
They created a problem then sold the solution for extra $$ while not mentioning it anywhere or briefing people it was coming who work the them
I don't play Dynasty but I think I have an idea of what's going on here. From what I've seen, EA added in micro transactions for Coach Levels after removing a setting to make leveling faster, insane. This was also HIDDEN from early creator builds that they got to play before release. Insane shit. Shoutout to Bordeaux for saying this, he's one with the MOST to lose by speaking out this largely against EA.
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
IDGAF about a partnership. Make a stand against micro transactions in Dynasty and RTG. Take them out and bring XP sliders back @EASPORTSCollege#CFBPlayDontPay
