For people that still don’t seem to understand #CFBPlayDontPay, the issue is not just that microtransactions are in our sandbox modes… it’s that XP and Progression have been seriously slowed so that the only real way you can fully upgrade is by using real money after you’ve already paid for the game

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

Official statement from EA Sports on the microtransactions they’ve added to NCAA 27: “The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different abilities.” #CFBPlayDontPay

The outrage over College Football 27 is a testament to capitalism and free speech at work. The market is outraged. The more people who #CFBPlayDontPay the pressure it puts on EA. The big thing is how much pain EA and their clients are willing to put up with to strong arm the market. Who will blink first? And it really isn’t about this year’s sales. I know I will not be pre-ordering next year until the micro-transactions are gone in offline modes. Even if the game that I bought this year is fun, which it has been so far. #T7SG

There was a silent agreement. Guys like us tolerated the aggressive, predatory microtransactions in Ultimate Team. And looked the other way while EA made billions selling digital card packs. In exchange, EA was supposed to honor our traditional, single-player offline modes (Dynasty and Road to Glory) as the pure core of their simulation football game and leave it out of their money-grab architecture. What they did wrong with #CFBPlayDontPay might seem like a small thing, but the outrage is what it is because we all recognize this is EA heading in a direction that tears up that treaty. It’s a wake up call. They got greedy and invaded our territory. — ‼️ the massive business reality that these executives completely take for granted is guys like us are the ones who give these football franchises their year-round relevance, cultural gravity, and authenticity. WE are the ones keeping the game alive 365 days a year on all social media. Without our organic, authentic community providing a baseline of sports credibility, the game loses its soul. EA uses our passion and approval to market the game, but then they continue to pervert the only part of the game we actually buy these games for. How is that supposed to work?
The thing that @EASPORTSCollege doesn't understand about Dynasty and Road to Glory #CFBPlayDontPay

It really seems like it is everybody (including some people who worked on CFB 27) VS the decision makers at EA There is still an opportunity for @EASPORTSCollege to make it right, but whoever is calling the shots would have to sign off Give us “Our Game” back. Remove microtransactions and add back the fast XP settings. At least attempt to even find a middle ground Do something because continuing to double down on the current state with no changes is ruining what should be an amazing launch moment for CFB 27 and if there is anything I have learned about the College Football community, they are loud, they are vocal, and they won’t just shut up bc you tried to ignore it #CFBPlayDontPay
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

EA also made it so if you turn off wear and tear in RTG you get lower XP gains. Further incentivizing you to spend money on the microtransactions. #CFBPlayDontPay
EA wants me to study so much I’m constantly getting bruised up in this game. Constantly dealing with my ribs and back. I’m not trying to study… 😭😭😭

Insanely tone deaf response from EA but not surprised. They likely think this is a 1-2 day uproar that will fade out quick, can’t show them that’s the case. #cfbplaydontpay Anyone know if turning wear and tear off affected xp progression in the past? Feels like another way EA is pushing you to spend money but I can’t say if it was in previous titles because I USED THE XP SLIDER so penalty wouldn’t have been noticed.
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

A lot of these read off passive aggressive from EA. They are standing firm with their microtransactions. We can’t stand for this. Doubling down is sickening @EASPORTSCollege #CFBPlayDontPay
Had some people in stream ask what document this came from, so I'll post the whole thing. This was sent to EA Creators this morning in regards to College Football 27. Below is the entire document we ALL have. Looks like we are also getting a blog tomorrow.
