re: CFB 27 gameplay discussion - early release today, release date 7/9

And if I read correctly if I want to build a team I do that online then import it? I’m trying to decide if I want to start with a small created school or just roll with bama with different playbook

Can't wait for some good mods. Thank God its on PC.


Edit: just when I post that I find the first pretty incredible mod / tool:




Further Edit: if anyone wants to join that modding Discord this is working: LINK

Cal and Ohio State have some solid ones as well. FIU has a surprisingly good one too.

I’ve been strictly a console player for a long time. Last computer I had for games was over 20 years ago. I’ve been thinking about adding a gaming pc to get access to pc only games.

I’m also interested in mods. Generally speaking, how difficult is it to add mods to a game? Since it’s probably a wide spectrum and depends on the game, how about for something like NCAA 27? Is it closer to plug and play, or more of a longer process to get it to work?

I’ve also noticed they really seem to have leaned in to the style of rb. Fresno state has a 96 speed back but if I start going north south to fast random defenders will catch him before he is gone. Durham with 1 less speed just blows by people.

Ai is tuned up more, the computer has really adjusted to some of the passes I really like to throw. A few games I was feasting on shotgun quad and throwing HB screen because they only had two guys over there but they have started to cover the quad with 4.

The pitch mechanics still kinda suck as well, feel like last year I could never run speed option and the one time I tried with WVU was a fail.

The crowd is kinda interesting when playing with the lower teams like Fresno. It was sold out for Utah to start the season, then basically empty vs sac state, then full again for rival game vs San Jose state. Utah and San Jose I did white out and black out.

What do you mean by style? Like the player archetype?

Yea, the traditional options are really hit or miss right now. I can't remember if it was this way last year or not, but there are two different pitch types now. If you just tap the ptch, it does a lighter, quick toss. If you hold it down, it will do a strong toss. Maybe it was that way last year, I didn't run them enough to remember, but it seemed different.

Yea meant arcatype because that back is an east/west guy. Could also be Durham just has better blockers all around him.

I’m pretty sure it was that way last year with the quick and strong options. I never ran it enough to get the timing down. The ends playing so wide also really gives that play fits

Another kinda cool detail is in creating a coach depending on who the school is with their brand of shoes are in the options.

Yea, lot of players missing. Auburn has 6 total WR's on the roster currently. When I start the dynasty with them, going to have to hit that position hard

I figured I would wait a week or two before starting my long term LSU dynasty to let some updates shake out. So I've been focussing on RTG.

I've done this the last 3 years. I have a 4 year old boy and a 5 year old boy IRL. So I do a RTG for each at a different position. This year the oldest is a TE. Youngest will be a SS.

Anyhow, RTG has also been completely fricked by EA micro-transactions. Both of my RTG accounts I ended up as the #1 player in the nation, 5-star. And both start out as a 60 overall and like 4th/5th on the depth chart. And upgrading their attributes is sooo expensive, that it takes multiple games plus practices to get enough XP to level up your overall by 1 point. So at this rate, they might might be lvl 90-95 going into their senior year.

I've read and heard onlline of dudes winning back to back Heisman's then go into their Senior year and haven't hit 99 yet. WTF

In what fricking world would a 5* #1 player in the country be a 60 overall on the roster his freshman year? Jackson Cantwell (#1 2026 recruit) is a 83 in NCAA CFB 27'

of course.....this was done intentionallyto motivate you to purchase points so you can actually play with your player maxed out for multiple seasons. This isn't 2k wehre you can take your player and go play online. It's an semi-offline, singleplayer mode, and once your senior year is over - that's it. it's the end of their career, you cannot use them again in this game. so you would essentially be burning the money you spent in the end.

bitch move EA.

yeah. goes to show you this dude was always ALL about the $$$.
