EA Sports announced it will remove all paid progression options from College Football 27‘s Dynasty and Road to Glory modes, reversing a decision that drew significant backlash from fans and content creators following the game’s launch.
In a statement posted to social media during the game’s launch week, the developer acknowledged that player feedback indicated the microtransactions “missed the mark.”
The studio said the paid options had been “added independent of deeper mode progression with the aim to give players more choice,” but conceded that “what you’ve said is that they’re not adding the value we intended.” EA said the changes would take effect the following morning, though it warned that players with existing College Point balances would lose the ability to apply them to Road to Glory or Dynasty once the features were removed, urging fans to spend their points beforehand.

The reversal follows a wave of criticism after College Football 27‘s release, with fans organizing around the hashtag #CFBPlayDontPay to voice frustration over microtransactions appearing in the game’s single-player offline modes. The system allowed players to spend real money to instantly boost their coach or player’s development. For example, maxing out a coach in Dynasty from the start could cost as much as $100, more than the price of the game itself.
Compounding the frustration, EA also removed sliders that let players in College Football 25 and 26 manually adjust how much experience they earned, a feature that had let people level up faster without paying. With that option gone, spending money became the only way to speed up progression, which is what drove much of the backlash.

Notably, the statement stopped short of ruling out microtransactions from the franchise going forward. EA said its “goal for live service plans in CFB28 and beyond will be to deliver valuable features and content with greater transparency and communication” — language suggesting paid content will return in some form in next year’s edition, even as the company walks back the current game’s implementation.

But by Sunday morning, only four teams will remain.
Here are the teams that have booked a spot in the Semifinals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This will be updated as teams advance.
France became the first team to advance to the Semifinals with a 2-0 win over Morocco on Thursday in Boston. Kylian Mbappé won a penalty in the first half, but keeper Yassine Bounou guessed right and made the save to keep the match level, and that is how the first half ended with the score 0-0.
But France broke through in the second half, first with a stunning strike from Mbappé:
And then this goal from Ousmane Dembélé, where you see the impact of Mbappé’s gravity as he runs through the box:
France now awaits the winner of Friday’s match between Spain and Belgium.
Spain and Belgium were level for nearly 90 minutes. Fabián Ruiz scored in the 30th minute to give Spain an early lead, but Charles De Ketelaere pulled Belgium level in the 41st minute.
But then just before stoppage time at the end of the second half, super-sub Mikel Merino was the man on the spot for Spain. He pounced on a rebound allowed by backup keeper Senne Lammens — who came in on relief of Thibaut Courtois, who appeared to suffer a knock in the 67th minute — and put Spain ahead:
That goal came days after Merino came on as a substitute and delivered the winning goal against Portugal.

Quarterfinals got underway on Thursday in Boston, with the first match between Morocco and France. In addition to those two teams six others — Spain, Belgium, England, Norway, Argentina, and Switzerland — are still alive in pursuit of glory.
