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

Road to Glory

The single-player storyline to college star may be the mode with the least added boosts. It has the same high school start of trying to do key moments — unfortunate, since it’s still a rather boring process to boost your recruitment. 

Getting recruited has improved, as teams have varying pitches depending on how bad they want you. So a school can initially offer just a small leadership gain, but can give out more if you are a clear five-star recruit.

As for when you get to college, the time spent weekly working on studying, working out or branding still feels unbalanced, making it hard to be excellent at many things and risking health in the process. Time spent studying doesn’t have much payoff, requiring more resources while at the same time trying to do all the recovery so you aren’t getting injured while playing.
