EA Sports FC 27 Review – The Grounds Is Shaky, But the Tactics System Shows Promise
The review says defending, passing, dribbling and goalkeeping all improve, while Ultimate Team still carries the same monetization baggage.
- EA Sports FC 27 launched on Friday, receiving an 8/10 score for improved gameplay mechanics across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC formats priced at £69.99.
- Defending now demands more Control from Players as the game reduces AI assistance, while Attacking movement is smarter with Teammates recognizing space and executing more natural runs.
- The Grounds, a New social hub inspired by English, French, and Argentinian culture, lets Players navigate as avatars and play football without competitive ladders or weekly requirements.
