EA puts microtransactions snd reduces xp in EA Sports College Football 27's singleplayer modes

[Kovlak]

EA put microtransactions in the singleplayer modes, reduced payouts, increased xp milestones, ramped up the grind. Turning the game into a kind of a paid freemium mobile experience.

Otherwise, tecnically, the game seems to be an improvement.

This may be really the direction AAA games are going in. GTA 6 included.

That is so nice, finally EA thinking about these poor, poor shareholders. And those evil, and greedy, players that actually made the Company a success will get what is coming to them!

EA being EA

Graphical fidelity fans won't care and will still give EA a head as if their life on the line. It's unfortunate that the voice that can steer the industry at the right direction is a minority one.

It's basically the Zipf's law of video games. The brainless player and the brainless spender player outweight the voice of reason for EA to get away with it.

EA... Sports... College? Football?!
Man, who even buys these games?
Anyone playing that shit deserves all the fleecing that EA's got in stock...

We used to live a sane society. One where we don't have to deal with nonsense like this.

Geez, and I thought NBA 2K's "pay-to-win" "My Career" mode was bad.

Honestly, just play the old college football games from PS2 era and prior. They're a lot more fun, anyway.

EA doing stuff like that is like death and taxes: certainties.

Bog standard for EA. The worst I know of was a basketball game from 2018. NBA 2k18 I think. Want to shoot the ball correctly? Get out your credit card.

Typical EA. Their greed has no end.
