College Football 27 Delivers Elite Gameplay — But There’s One Shocking Flaw You Can’t Ignore

That sets it up for actually playing. It’s almost astonishing how smooth the game feels on all sides of the ball. Player movement feels as realistic as has been, with smarter decision making-coming from non-controlled athletes on the field. Your offensive line shifts smoothly in run protection, and the secondary actually follows coverage adjustments.

Going hand-in-hand with the gameplay is with a step up in the presentation: The atmosphere sounds more like what you hear in a stadium, and there’s a better sense of the storylines within the game, no matter if it’s just a casual play now or dynasty contest. The halftime show is worth paying attention to now, and the in-game updates have better context.
