EA SPORTS FC 27 to Get Open World, Street Football, and an Edition 40% More Expensive Than GTA VI Ultimate Edition

Developers will update the "career" and some mechanics.

In July, Electronic Arts unveiled EA Sports FC 27, a new installment in the football simulation franchise. The developers released a trailer and revealed details about the project.

This installment features updated gameplay; for example, teammates will better recognize space and passing intentions – using “smart” curved runs, and the AI defense has been rebalanced. The “career” mode will see a revamped transfer mechanic, and the OVR rating in this mode will become dynamic.

Additionally, crosses and corner kicks have been reworked, and the simulation of two players battling for a header has been improved. The creators of EA Sports FC 27 also confirmed the return of Ultimate Team and showcased a new mode called “the grounds” – a street football analogue that can be played “one-on-one” or in teams; this mode will be available on PC and modern consoles, but not on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Players will be able to explore a pseudo-open world, similar to what was seen in the NBA 2K game series.
