We were promised more realistic gameplay

I am an above average gamer when it comes to football, and I hate to even post a negative comment but this game is awful. We were promised more realistic gameplay and instead have gotten the same problems that existed in ‘25 & ‘26, but even more so when it comes to local gameplay. If I’m playing someone of lesser skill than me, we have always staggered the difficulty to reflect this discrepancy. For whatever reason, ‘27 has made this discrepancy nonexistent, to the point that against lesser difficulty opponents I can’t complete a pass or even run the ball for more than 2-3 years at a time, while my opponent (playing on Freshman/Varsity mode) can complete passes 50 yards downfield off their QBs back foot while getting taken down by a DE. Maybe it’s my fault for assuming that the game could adapt properly to the different settings, or maybe it adapts too well. But either way it’s an insane difference. Can’t beat anybody if your DBs have brick hands while your opponent only needs to have someone within 10 yards of your WR to break up a pass. Fix this. Can’t believe I’m spending $100 on this dumb game.

    The game feels entirely too scripted.  The momentum based results and apparent need to make the games close/“exciting” make it almost unplayable.  I am tired of playing people that I am clearly better than, be up by multiple scores late into the game, only to find my team not be able to catch/block/cover and ultimately lose or come too close to losing than appropriate, it’s too much.  EA needs to stop tuning and artificially making games closer than they should be otherwise this game is unplayable and I will not buy 28.

  • I agree, and also the game structure and gameplay needs to be more realistic and actual work. Also make dynasty a builder place and help online players and dynasty with more then 10 people out
