The game had replaced free experience modifiers in its Road to Glory and Dynasty single-player modes with paid progression options priced between $9.99 and $149.99. EA admitted it 'missed the mark' and noted the options were not disclosed before launch or shown in previews. Players who already purchased in-game currency will be unable to spend their College Point balances in the affected modes. EA says future live service plans for College Football 28 will prioritize transparency. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
