I think so. Some of the gameplay improvements are marginal, but $70 for a year of entertainment is worth it to me

NIL implementation makes dynasty more engaging. If you’re only using a school like Michigan it won’t be noticeably more challenging, but if you enjoy rebuilding smaller schools it will feel much different. Even using Michigan, it’s not as easy as it was in prior years to dominate recruiting and the portal.

I also find the game to be significantly more realistic. You’re not going to obliterate every MAC school or Rutgers, it takes some work. It’s a much bigger jump from 26 to 27 than 25 was to 26, imo.

- Good. PS5 runs the game well and CFB 27 is significantly more challenging than the prior two games* - By AltShiftM August 11, 2026 at 09:11:52 PM
