EA SPORTS™ College Football 27

Don't be a sucker, don't be like me, don't buy this game.

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.

The main complaint by people in reviews were the micro-transaction but they've been removed. Game is solid. Well worth the purchase.

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.

just bad, EA gets worse and worse

EA is a scam

EA are some scam artists with their microtransactions. Not a big fan of the Pay to Win system. However I play a good amount of solo challenges and built my team to 80 OVR so far doing that spending $0. I'd like to see EA turn away from trying to squeeze every dime out of their loyal customers. The gameplay is fun. It feels responsive and gives you that college football feel/atmosphere when you are playing. I think that's that part of this game that was done very well. I haven't bought an EA football game like this in over 7 years and depending on how the dev team handles this negative feedback will determine if I become a yearly customer again.

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.

Hiesman RTG is unplayable when you don't have any coaches trust. How am I supposed to do anything without being able to call hot routes & change my pass protection? I'm ass, but the game is even more ass...
