Specialization PlayStyle+ ignored in The Grounds, reverts to default Signature
In The Grounds, the PlayStyle+ selected through Specialization is not being applied correctly in matches.
For example, I use the Spark Archetype and selected Quick Step+ through Specialization.
The build/menu correctly shows Quick Step+, and the same build also uses Quick Step+ correctly in modes such as 11v11 Drop-In and Ranked Rush.
However, when I enter a match through The Grounds, the game ignores Quick Step+ and gives me Trickster+, which is Spark’s original Signature PlayStyle+.
The original Signature behavior also appears to return in-game, so this does not seem to be only a visual/UI issue.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Use an Archetype with an unlocked Specialization.
2. Select a PlayStyle+ different from the Archetype’s original Signature PlayStyle+.
3. Enter a match through The Grounds.
4. Check the active PlayStyle+ in the match.
5. The player receives the Archetype’s original Signature PlayStyle+ instead of the selected Specialization PlayStyle+.
Expected result:
The PlayStyle+ selected through Specialization should be active in The Grounds matches.
Actual result:
The selected Specialization PlayStyle+ is ignored, and the Archetype’s original Signature PlayStyle+ is used instead.
This appears to affect more than one Archetype, as other players have also reported their Specialization PlayStyle+ not being applied correctly in The Grounds.
I have already reported this issue in the FC 27 Bug Reports section, but I am also posting it here for visibility and discussion.
