EA College Football 27 Goes ‘Mostly Negative’ On Steam Over MTX
EA says it will monitor community feedback while keeping the new monetization in College Football 27 at launch.
- On Thursday, July 9, EA Sports College Football 27 launched, immediately drawing player criticism for adding microtransactions to single-player modes including Dynasty and Road to Glory.
- YouTuber Bordeaux criticized EA for removing 'Fast' and 'Faster' XP sliders, forcing players to purchase 'College Football Points' for progression in offline modes previously allowing customization.
- Insider Gaming reports that several developers who worked on the game are 'livid' over the monetization, having anticipated the negative player reaction months before the official release.
- Within 24 hours of release, the game earned a 'Mostly Negative' score on Steam, with only 33 percent of reviews positive as fans attempt to trend '#cfbplaydontpay' online.
- Despite the pushback, EA reportedly confirmed the microtransactions will remain at launch, stating the company is 'continuing to monitor community feedback' regarding the new monetization features.
