According to @MikeStrawMedia, many devs who knew about the stuff coming to College Football 27 were “livid” about it for months
He says “Even future single-player-only titles will have more monetization options enabled.” This is no longer about just CFB 27
This is about the future and direction of games coming from EA. I am speechless #CFBPlayDontPay
Btw if you had Nick Saban’s exact career arc in CFB 27 you would not hit max level.
Greatest coach of all time. 7 nattys. Not enough. Only way is to pay real money.
#CFBPlayDontPay
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
@honchojc@DubDotDUBBY If you spend 70-100 dollars on a game you should be able to play your way, not have to pay to level up a character on a single player mode, also to hide it from us, basically sneak it in is wrong
IDGAF about a partnership. Make a stand against micro transactions in Dynasty and RTG. Take them out and bring XP sliders back @EASPORTSCollege#CFBPlayDontPay
It feels like EA intentionally hid micros transactions into dynasty as a slow roll out so it could continue to get worse in the future
I asked a dev if it was an early access bug that the fast and fastest option was missing, heard nothing back
I still haven’t even found the screen to buy coach XP in Dynasty there’s no buttons to show it. Also apparently they took away custom XP sliders in Road to Glory too?
I don’t like the direction on this. I already said the MVP+ Membership was an awful idea, you shouldn’t have to buy Madden too if you want all the early college benefits
I am more scared our single player modes could be hit with heavy micro transactions since Ultimate Team is clearly not what college cares about
Also Drew said more in a reply about what early access capture was like this year… yeah way more anal than previous ones. More stressful than fun. Idc to do it again if it’s like that
