EA SPORTS™ College Football 27

DO NOT BUY. Game freezes, glitches out....RTG is A MASSIVE GRIND with zero options to adjust the xp gain...the menu's are still PAINFULLY SLOW. Presentation is awful, some of the animated scenes look like a mistake that should have been deleted but made it into the full game. EA got me on nostalgia, first game since NCAA 14, and now 27 just makes me wish i could play 14 again.

It's really sad that this is the state of the only college football game available. I had waited years to be able to play this on pc, I had emulated NCAA 14, modded it to have modern rosters, and played at least 500 hours on it in the meantime. I was absolutely elated to be able to boot this game up and play road to glory and dynasty. I wasn't displeased with the gameplay, it plays alright (even if my 12gb of vram cannot handle even medium settings in a meaningful capacity at 1080p) but it's certainly poorly optimized. Pursuit angles and blocking logic are rather poor, but it's college and these aren't professional athletes, so it's somewhat excusable. Menuing is like pulling teeth and has the tendency to crash and randomly change your audio devices--don't ask me why, I don't know either. I could look past that because college football carries this deified presence for me, something that can do no wrong, something I can look past the inadequacies and faun over, and yet somehow this game has irked me. The microtransactions in offline modes that they had to back down on--only after intense protests from content creators and athletes--the fact you cannot adjust XP gains for coaches--in an offline mode where they have intentionally exponentiated the requirements for levelling later on in your coach's progression--to the fact that an entire coaching skill tree is locked behind a preorder bundle, This game oozes greed and disinterest. I never should have expected much from EA, especially after being bought out by private equity and Saudi oil money, but do they not understand how sacred and hallowed the sport of college football is in this country? The choice to make a mockery of themselves and the sport by making such asinine decisions is truly astounding. I wanted to love this game, I wanted to sink another 500 hours into it like I did NCAA 14, but I'm not even sure there's a chance I can anymore. I get some pop-up menu saying to claim the product code on origin.com, which I've never had to do before. I've truly had enough. I may play more, I may not. I may write a strongly worded letter to EA's offices. Whatever happens, know this game isn't worth your time, or your 70$. Not in this state, at least.

Game has to be bugged, you hit receivers right in their chest, lead them a bit, or if someone sneezes in their general direction and they are dropping the ball. And of course it penalizes you for them dropping a ball that is in their hands for some reason. Really don't know why I keep giving EA a chance but I will no longer be doing that, this is trash.

Would give this game a positive review, however i play mostly offline and them having the pay to win GARBAGE in offline is crazy. Complete waste of money, and EA, you're trash.

Game doesnt even work. Payed for EA Play and the game doesnt load because of some anticheat bug, and EA hasnt addressed this issue for a week after launch. Should be illegal to sell a nonworking product.

just buying the game every year isnt enough for them. as cool as some of the gameplay and recruiting features are the restrictions on being able to customize your offline experience gearing towards having to spend more money in game to have full access to features. if anyone out there wanted to make their own college game just so you know i dont care about real teams and players. ill buy your game if it plays well. my game never closes out completely so i have only played about 10 hours

Still isn't like the old NCAA games, keeps getting worse.

Its a reskin of last years game but they now added micro transactions to upgrade your players and coach and slowed down the exp gains, Road to Glory is broken and your 5 star out of high school will end up 3rd-5th on his positions rooster spot even at a 1 star school. Just play 26. Don't waste your time until they fix this crap.

Even with the removal of MTX, the game has a ton of issues. Recruiting is still broken with EA reducing the number of recruits rather than fix anything to try to make it less obvious, the fastest xp slider still hasn't been added back into the game, and it's clear that EA is trying to make the game unplayable to try to force people into using microtransactions next year. There's a reason EA is a multi-time winner of Worst Company in America award.

Despite the initial controversy surrounding microtransactions in the SINGLEPLAYER game modes, the actual on-field experience of this game is great.
