And everything I'm hearing is they have not surprisingly gone even further with microtransactions. I haven't looked further into what kind exactly, but I've had it with that garbage.Oh there is no question the graphics, look, and feel of the game are *chef's kiss*. The actual playing of the game...
99, maybe you need to upgrade to PS5 Pro 2TB. Only $900 on Amazon.
I already have the PS 5 and, to me, the Pro just isn't worth the extra hundreds of dollars. I have a friend I know through the PlayStation app and she was trying to convince me to get a PS 5 Pro. She was showing me the difference in foliage in The Last Of Us Part 2 between the 5 and 5 Pro. I honestly could not tell the difference.
And adjacent to this topic is that Sony has announced that starting in 2028, they will no longer be producing physical copies of their games as they will move exclusively to a digital store front. Sony's decision to end physical copies of games isn't sitting well with me and I hate it.
Also, I have seen / heard that the PS 6 will be digital only--there won't even be a slot to insert a disc. That, combined with the price of the 6 rumored to start at $1,000 dollars, makes me think I will not be buying a 6 and I have been with PlayStation since their very first console.
Finally, I hate, hate HATE this move to an exclusively digital store because even if you "buy" the game, Sony can just decide one day they're no longer going to support the game and they remove it. Now you no longer have access to a game that you paid for, hence the oft said phrase, "If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing." It is astounding to me, in the worse way, at how these corporations will literally destroy themselves in the long term for slightly higher profits in their current fiscal quarter.
I took this screen capture from the person who posted this playthrough on their YouTube channel because I wanted to talk about how, offensively, the myriad of ways an OC could attack this defensive front.
1. Audible to an Inside Zone. With good blocking, it's probably a 20+ yard gain with the potential for longer or even a house call.
2. Hot route the receivers.
A. Send the TE up the seam and try to hit him at about the 15 yard line in the gap between the LB and S.
B. Hot route the TE up the seam and then bring either the slot or outside receiver on a drag route over the middle.
C. Look how far off those DBs are. Hot route any of the three WRs to a drag, slant, square in/out, hook, curl, or dig route.
D. Hot route the short boundary WR to a drag over the middle, a slant, or square in to take the boundary CB with him to run off the defender and throw the ball to the RB on a wheel or angle route to the short side of the field.
E. Hot route both outside WRs to go routes and make the FS decide which side of the field he'll help with and throw to the WR on the opposite side.
F. Hot route the outside WR to a drag, slant, or square in and then send the slot WR on a corner route.
My gawd, there are so many ways to attack this front.
My mom is in town visiting. She knows I am a huge Husker fan and I play video games. So she, unasked for, bought me EA College Football 27. I didn't have the heart to tell her to return it because she was so proud for getting me something she thought I would love.
This was the first game I played. I threw 8 interceptions and lost 1 fumble in this game. You can't see it, but in passing, I was 21/56.
I have played one game and I already hate this f^^^ing game so much.
This strikes me as the old “our dog ate my homework excuse.”
It’s not my fault—my MOM did it!!!

What is my fault is not telling her to return it.
Bless your heart. The sacrifices you make to make for your Mother's happiness.
You're SUCH a good daughter!!!
So back to the game. Have I stated how much I hate this garbage? I literally, in one GD F^^^ING game, threw 8 interceptions. I mean jebus toastado cripes, the effing computer cheats to such a ridiculous extreme. On defense, my defenders routinely don't even cover their guy. If I play man, my defenders get beat almost every snap and if I play zone, the computer just picks me apart. When in man, I counted 6 times where my defender stood there, at the snap, allowed the computer WR to get past him and then started his coverage. But by then, it's too late.
One of these days, join my Twitch stream live as I am playing and see the bullsh^^ the computer does in real time.

Don't appreciate this at all.
You *DO* realize that saying to someone, "bless your heart" is the "polite" Southern way and equivalent of telling them to F^^^ OFF, right?
Holy Crap! When we lived in Virginia, little old ladies used to 'bless my heart' all the time.
I had no idea what they were really telling me.
So my mom bought me EA 27, I have played two games, on varsity level, and am 0-2. One game vs Tennessee and the other vs Wisconsin--both of them in Lincoln. In those two games:
* -15 in turnovers: 3 fumbles, 12 interceptions
* 14 sacks on Colandrea
* 49.7% completion percentage
* 6 false starts
* 2 holding calls
Conversely, in those same two games, the computer controlled offense has:
* 9 TD passes averaging 55 yards
* 478 yards rushing
* 89.9% passing completion
* 0 false starts
* 0 holding calls
Things that happen to me multiple times a game:
* OL just watches the defender run right past them. Literally I snap the ball and 1.5 seconds later I am sacked.
* DBs just stand there and let the receiver run past them.
* Zone coverages have giant gaps, even in Match Coverage calls.
I have played two f^^^ing games and I am already done with this gd garbage.

OMG!!!!!!
I cracked the code!
Husker99 is Satterfield's BHF account!

Granted, it's been well-documented that Husker99 is a horrible CFB27 player/coach...
... BUT one thing I've noticed watching the new season of Husker YouTube games that come up in my feed is that the games "feel" like they're operating the same way they did when Raiola was the QB--especially all the dropback sacks. AC looks like Raiola Junior.
After watching a few of the new 27 Husker games, I came to the conclusion that they simply changed our QB and RB and kept everything else more or less the same -- playbook included. If it wasn't for #10 instead of #15, I'd swear Raiola was playing. I could end up being way off base but I expect Holgorsen's O to look different. Maybe its just my wishful thinking. Guess we'll see.
Basically, from my two games, I have come to the conclusion that no matter what you do, as a person controlling Nebraska, the game is programmed for you to lose. On offense you'll have turnovers, sacks, dropped passes, struggle to run, etc. On defense you'll immensely struggle to stop the run, your DBs struggle to cover in man and if you try zone, the holes/gaps in your zone defense are so huge receivers are wide open vs the pass. Essentially to have any chance at a W, you need to play 100% perfect and hope the computer makes several mistakes. The game is absolute garbage.
