Skipping Out on CFB27 For The Most Part

Hey everyone! 

I have enjoyed my CFB26 journey. I had preordered the deluxe and played basically every day since release. It was my first full foray into a sports game other than the brief month or so i played CFB25 when it was on game pass last year before 26 came out. The thrill of the gold curtain was always lit when it hit. I built a full pro/4-3/TT and had it set since maybe season 3. I'm still going to be playing the game daily until the 27 comes out. 

However, I spent way too much time and effort on 26 building a team and trying to endure online play lol. I also spent a decent amount of money always getting the premium field pass and sometimes getting points for plat packs when i was in a bind before i started getting "lottery" training hits that made me rich. 

I found myself getting home from work and playing CUT for most of my free time before diverting to BF6 and/or Rocket League to play with my friend. I miss playing story games. 

We have AC Black Flag Resynced (my all time favorite AC game) coming out in July. We have Control: Resonant (Control is my favorite of the Remedy-verse) coming out in 2026 (release date not known yet). and more importantly we are supposed to get GTA6 later this year too unless they delay again. 

I'm not going to have the time or money to start allllll over again in CFB27 so i'm certain I won't be preordering or getting it until it's on game pass next spring or whatever. It's been a good ride y'all, but the seas, the paranatural weird of Control, and Vice City will be calling my name and attention this year and early next year. 

Anyone here not pickup CFB26 until it hit game pass? What was your experience up until now building your CUT team? I know i mentioned before my last foray was CFB25 in the last month or so of its cycle while on game pass but i was a complete noob at these kind of games so i'm not counting that.

I'm pretty hooked on this game and I will be even more CFB27 I believe.  I mostly play sports games like The Show, Madden, FC, and NHL but I will be getting GTA 6 and the Halloween game.  This was my first year doing Ultimate Team of any kind and I didn't know all the rules going in and took a hit.  I expect my experience to be even better in CFB27, I just hope they drop the  great names of college football like they did this year.  I would lose my mind if they dropped a Steve McNair card!!!  I just love those early 2000 Titan teams, I know people weren't excited for the card but Jevon Kearse was such a cool late drop.

For sure. I really did enjoy the game even with its frustrating times and rug pulls. CFB26 came out at the perfect time when there wasn't anything out for single player that I really wanted to dig my teeth into. mid-late 2026 is changing the tide though for me

GTA will definitely hurt all the games one of the CFB streamers scoffed at me when I mentioned it on his Twitch feed but GTA is an institution unto itself.  As much asd I love college football I cannot wait for it to come out myself!!!

First time since Madden 18 for me and I will never again. this game is cut and paste Madden18/19 still the exact same menus and all. plus I just got cheated again in the solos with a server error after finishing boss 3 for the 4th time now. 

I fully feel this game is social experiment by EA on "how bad can the game be and they still give us money" type of thing

I'm about to skip out on 27 and sign out of 26. This is horse****.

I’m quitting EA games after CFB26… at least that’s what I told myself after 25. Really hoping it takes this time

It’d be better if they didn’t looooovvveee Ohio state so much. Hell there’s an Ohio state player in every release. Just call it “Ohio State Football 27”. Every other team gets like 5 GOOD players max. Annoying if you ask me. Just lame.

We play squads, and we’rw not picking up CFB27 until about March/April of 2027 when the 98/99 players are mainly in the game. It’s absolutely treacherous dealing with the bugs/kinks/issues when a new game drops & it’s also more cost effective. 

Get the game 50-75% off & only drop like $200 on getting points to stack coins and just call it a day. It’s a money grab all year trying to build your team unless you’re going to be ultra patient (which is boring). So ya there’s my take lol. Plus the UNC’s have ruined the game. They left Madden and brought their 1980 logic to College Football and it’s been trash all year! 🤷🏾‍♂️

have you had the issue with squads recently where you just can’t load in a game? I’ve been trying for the past week to load into a squads game with my buddy and we literally load to the point it shows the college football loading screen for it then never places us in the game.

I havent had any issues until this weekend. We wait forever for a game and then get matched against toxic sweats. Was wondering if the game died or what.
