Probably the last CFB I will purchase. It’s unfortunate because I think the devs did a great job as far as actual gameplay. But EA not placing the sliders back into RTG is a big slap in the face. They intentionally made it harder to progress to incentivize micro transactions and once the community made a fuss about it they said “Sure we’ll take them out. Have fun being a low overall your entire career!” All the nonsense about “balancing” gameplay is complete B.S. I would have rather them just come right out and say “You either pay us or sit the bench.” They are clearly trying to move in the same direction as 2K where progressing a player through gameplay is not even a thought for most people. The issue is that 2K at least allows you to use that player for the rest of the year and has a wide variety of online game modes. RTG does not. It is honestly ridiculous that they expected players to spend their hard earned money to upgrade a player in an offline mode that they can only use for a max of 4 seasons. It is believed that there will be some sort of online multiplayer mode for RTG in CFB 28 but we have already seen how that went in Madden. RTG used to be a fun and creative mode with tons of options for how your career could go. Now, there is basically no reason to be anything other than a 5 star and to go to the biggest schools. The whole play on Heisman and leave W&T on agenda is completely out of touch. The W&T system is broken and not everyone wants to play on the hardest difficulty all the time. The return of CFB in 25 was great and the community was super excited for this franchise to start up again. However, I think that CFB 27 will be the beginning of the end for this franchise unless some major changes are made. Obviously people will always buy the game, but with their CUT mode being largely unpopular, EA’s greed took over and ruined a large part of what made the game great. The removal of micro transactions was really a punishment disguised as “hearing the community’s feedback” and it is clear what direction the game is moving in. It’s sad that the $70 people paid for the game wasn’t enough for them.
