Cornerstone players will be EVO players @jahforce 
Im excited to see who they are, looks like they will be 83 overall and be 1 BND out of 4 players, then we can have up to 6 total evo players in our lineup who can be switched in.out.

Cornerstone Features

• Upgradable items: Cornerstones feature "Evos" and can be upgraded through specific gameplay and stat objectives.
• Base OVR: They typically begin at lower ratings but scale up as you progress.
• Multiple Choices: You can pick your Cornerstone player from a pool of around six different stars.
• Team Building: They are specifically tuned to offer specialized schemes and attributes right when you start.

Pre-Order and Edition Cornerstones

If you pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition or MVP Bundle by June 16, you also receive an exclusive "Cornerstones Player Pack": 

• Reward: One 83 OVR BND (Account-Bound) Cornerstones player item.

• Choice: You get to pick 1 out of 4 players from this special release pack

  "Players will get to choose 1 of 6 free upgradable player items to build their team around. Each player item they can select from will boost a different set of attributes, and each player item dropped with the program will be designed to fit into 1 of those 6 chemistries. LTDs and the H2H champ can freely swap between all 6."

Thanks!

I think they might max out at certain points?  It will be something to find out in the next couple of weeks but would be fun to keep someone all year.  I know we have 6 evo slots and can interchange at any point

I've seen multiple people say this what advantages would pc players have on a game like cfb?

PC players have higher frame rates so they willl be able to react faster and move faster.  Only a second or so faster but that’s a huge advantage in football.

Also, I’m sure pc players will all be running a timing assist

So the cornerstones player might continue to evolve right up to end game if I’m reading that correctly ?

Calling it now, they will screw it up some how, they always seem to manage it somehow with these type of features.

Undoubtedly, the only real questions are:

When will it stuff up ?

And

Will it stuff up for everyone or just some people ?

I literally could not log in during season 8, would take 20+ attempts every day, tried all the tricks, EA “help”  reset console, uninstalled the game and dozens of other suggestions.  None worked.  The day season 9 dropped the problem went away.  Was only ultimately team it affected ..

So I  share your “faith”.

I had the same issue. Whenever I tried logging on to ultimate team, I would get an error message saying I was connected to EA servers. The only work-around I found that kinda worked, was accessing ultimate team as fast as possible frem the launch screen. Sometimes the game would load in the background, even if I got hit by the error-message. I could then gain access by simply waiting to press a button on the error message. 

But you're right that it seemed to be fixed by season 9. I thought the graduation bundle screw up might have been compensation, but who knows with EA's stellar communication department.

Im not sure but seems possible, I do know that you can have up to 6 evo players on your team.  That would be awesome to keep the same EVO card all year if its your favorite player and can upgrade him to highest overall possible each season.

I usually buy the MVP bundle. Does any one know if the MVP+ membership is included in the bundle or is that a separate $150?

MVP+ has everything included + more extras than the bundle itself. People say that You can cancel at anytime and still have both madden and cfb forever also    I don’t plan on canceling because I will just probably have it subscribed for the same time next year also for 28s

Cool, thanks for the reply! Can't wait to see y'all in 27!! ✌️

One ability would be the ability to cheat, using exploits or hacks. 2k has had tons of hackers on pc for years, wouldnt be too shocked if it occured. There’s no way to play online and exploit cfb on consoles, because of their security features.

Hey I played u in H2H the other day, knew your name looked familiar.

Oh, that’s interesting, I just assumed we only got one of the 6 for the year.  Good to see we can later add more.

This will be my first season starting at the beginning (I only started end of Polar Vortex).  I’m looking forward to every player not being 99

I never got the Graduation bundle so no it definitely wasn’t compensation.

Sounds like you had the same issue as me.  Same error messsge too, my workaround was physical unplug, worked a third of the time, otherwise I’d go into an online dynasty (which it allowed) then back out and go into ultimate team.  Some days I’d be in within a few minutes, some days half an hour of trying 😔

Of course EA tried to blame my wifi …. Even though every other mode and every other game was fine.
