UPDATE 6:03 p.m. PT: <\/strong>EA has confirmed plans to remove “all paid progression options from Road to Glory and Online Dynasty” in EA Sports College Football 27 after players launched the CFBPlayNotPay campaign against offline microtransactions.<\/p>\n

The publisher announced<\/u> plans to respond to community feedback with a statement posted on social media. It’s a decision that will see the changes go into effect starting “tomorrow morning,” July 11, 2026, just five days after College Football 27 launched in early access for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X | S July 6.<\/p>\n

EA says “an unfortunate side effect” of the removal of the paid progression options in question is that those with existing College Point balances will no longer be able to use their points in Road to Glory or Dynasty. The note encourages players with points to apply them before the changes go into effect.<\/p>\n

Many players in the community, including content creator Bordeaux<\/u>, have already thanked EA for pulling paid progression from the game. You can see the publisher’s full statement below.<\/p>\n
