The Shocking Fallout That Forced College Football 27 to Axe Microtransactions Overnight

That’s also something that reviewers said was no longer available without paying for “College Football Points” in CFB 27. An article by Kotaku also said that there is a cap on the amount of XP available without paying cash, and Insider Gaming noted that reviewers granted early access in previews said those versions did not include these changes.
The #CFBPlayDontPay hashtag caught fire as streamers and game reviewers, including YouTuber Bordeaux, who said he would no longer partner with EA after doing so with previous CFB editions, spread the word about the shady practice. “I really hope this is a lesson to a lot of the gaming companies out there: Do not take your community for granted,” he said in a video posted after EA’s announcement about removing the microtransactions. “Do not take your community like you can just charge up a little extra money and get away with it there.”
College Football 27 update
EA Sports gave its initial update July 9, the game’s wide release date, acknowledging some of the criticism and noting what changes would be coming down the line in future patches. It said the game’s new Dynasty Blueprint changed how coach progression worked depending on the coach archetype, perks and staff decisions, adding that Coach XP Speed Settings were available in both online and offline play, while XP accelerators were available in online play only. For Road to Glory, EA said progression was redesigned around earning weekly XP during gameplay and setting a player’s Weekly Agenda.
Here’s what the company said was in store in upcoming Title Updates, with more details coming next week:
