FC28 THE PATH
So I have a concept and it goes like this THE PATH A New Football Life and Story Experience for EA Sports FC. I'd like to propose a deeper football life experience that blends career mode freedom with story driven progression. Players could start at Academy level, under 16, directly as a pro, during their peak years, or choose to retire and move into management. The main difference is the storytelling. Your performances, choices, relationships, and reputation would actually shape what happens next. So it feels personal, not like a fixed script.
EA SPORTS FC™ 27 | Launch Update
In EA SPORTS FC™ 27 we’re building on our commitment to live service support to bring you more new content, updates, and improvements across the game. This season, we’re putting additional development resource into the post-launch experience to keep your favourite modes fresh – from Football Ultimate Team™ and The Grounds to Career Mode, ongoing quality-of-life updates, and beyond.

We’ll be listening to your feedback too, so we can evolve the FC 27 experience with you. In this Pitch Notes, we’ll take you through what you need to know as you get ready for launch, whether you’re building your Football Ultimate Team, developing your Pro, managing your Club to glory, or playing with friends in The Grounds. Your feedback will continue to play an important role throughout the Season. You can share your thoughts through the FC Feedback page across the Player Feedback Portal, Discord, EA Forums, and Steam Forums. The Pitch Notes will provide more details on updates and changes throughout FC 27.

We want to better preserve what makes your players unique on the pitch, have every match move your Club forward, and give you more flexibility over how to upgrade your squad. Here are the three main ideas shaping our approach. More Choice In How You Build Your Club: There are many ways to build your squad in FUT, and we want you to have more flexibility in deciding which ones work for you. That includes a greater focus on tradeable rewards and FUT Coins. It also means better balance across the various ways you earn upgrades, including SBCs, Evolutions, and Campaign upgrades, ensuring each system offers compelling upgrades. Preserving What Makes Players Unique: We want the players you add to your Club to have more opportunities to play a meaningful role in your squad throughout the Season. In FC 27, we’re taking a more measured approach to how Items upgrade, with fewer Campaigns, smaller Campaign squads, and more targeted upgrades to Attributes and PlayStyles. Our aim is to better preserve the individual qualities that make each player feel distinct on the pitch. Every Game Helps Move Your Club Forward: FUT is all about building your dream squad, and the matches you play should be an important part of that journey. In FC 27, increased FUT Coin rewards and Season Points from eligible matches mean playing games can contribute more directly to your Club’s progression. More Control Over How You Build Your Club Tradeability & the Transfer Market In FC 27, a significantly higher proportion of rewards across Objectives, game modes, and other areas of FUT will be tradeable. Alongside our wider approach to Special Items, which we’ll cover later in this Pitch Notes, this is intended to give you more flexibility when using the Transfer Market, making it easier to turn the rewards you earn into opportunities to build and improve your squad throughout the Season. With more tradeable rewards, you’ll also have more flexibility in how you choose to upgrade your squad, whether that’s bidding on Player Items, completing Evolutions, accessing the Premium Pass, or saving toward something you want to add to your Club later in the Season. Champions Token Rewards Tokens were introduced in FUT 26 this summer to give you more choice over the rewards you play towards. Champions Tokens return in FC 27, allowing you to choose from different reward options based on what makes the most sense for your Club. The Champions Token Store will also feature rewards specific to Champions, including Team of the Week Players with the exclusive Red Item design, Evolutions, and vanity rewards such as Celebrations. TOTW Community Player Team of the Week celebrates the players delivering standout performances across the world of football each week. In FC 27, we’re giving you a greater role in shaping who gets recognized. During Season 1, the FC community will help to shape the selection of one player item in each of the first six Team of the Week squads. Starting 14 September, every player in the FC 27 Ratings Database is eligible to receive votes, so you can back the player you think deserves a place in the next TOTW. A new voting period begins each Tuesday. You can vote for one player each week and change your selection at any time before voting closes each Monday at 11:59pm PT. You’ll need to log in to your EA Account to confirm your vote. Community votes will help inform the final selection each week, with the selected player item featuring a Community Player marker in-game. Balancing Packs and Store at Launch As part of our broader approach to progression in EA SPORTS FC™ 27, we’re also making changes to the Store. Our intention for Store content is that it should be an optional complement to the rewards and progression available across FUT™, with playing the game remaining the cornerstone of how you build your Club. From launch, we’re taking a more focused approach to Store content. You’ll see fewer promotional Pack offers available, alongside lower user limits on certain offers. Combined with a series of additional changes to Store offer design, these changes are about ensuring your time on the pitch is always the most important way to build your squad. Rarity & Pack Updates With the removal of the distinction between Common and Rare players in FC 27, we want to make sure it remains clear what each Pack contains and what you can expect when opening them. As part of this, we’re updating how Packs are named and structured, with more consistent naming across base Packs and terms such as Mini, Small, Large, Jumbo, and Giant indicating Pack size. While some Pack names and structures are changing as part of the Rarity refresh, our intent is for the overall Pack-opening experience to remain consistent year over year. As we outlined in our FUT Deep Dive, while Packs will no longer state a minimum number of Rare Items, the likelihood of receiving a base Player Item at OVR 82 and below is intended to remain consistent with what you would have found in similar Packs from FC 26. We’re also adjusting Quick Sell values to reflect the updated Rarity system. Player Item Quick Sell values will be more closely aligned with previous Rare Player Item values, while non-Player items will have more consistent Quick Sell values across Rarities. Meaningful Player Items, Lasting Impact Earning Player Items across FUT™ Squad Building Challenges, mode rewards, Evolutions, and the Transfer Market will all provide different ways to add engaging Player Items to your squad. Our goal is for these different paths to work together, giving you more choice in how you build your team and more reasons to engage with the parts of Football Ultimate Team™ you enjoy most. In FC 27, we want every way of building your Club to feel viable and rewarding. However you choose to play, the time you put in should feel meaningful and help you build and improve your squad. By bringing the different ways you can progress closer together, our goal is to make sure you can keep playing the parts of Ultimate Team you enjoy while continuing to move your Club forward. To support this multi-path approach and give every Item more ability to feel impactful, here is how item progression will feel different in FC 27: Steadier Upgrade Pacing Across All Content: Our goal is for the Player Items you add to your Club, whether from SBCs, Evolutions, mode rewards, or Campaigns, to stay in your squad for longer. To enable this, we’re establishing a more gradual upgrade pacing across the year by reducing the maximum number of PlayStyles+ from five to three and reducing the attribute increases between Campaigns. Greater Squad-Building Flexibility: To give you the freedom to fit players earned from any path into your preferred style of play, all Campaign Player Items will launch with all of their position’s Roles++ unlocked, making squad-building more flexible across different formations and playstyles. More Focused Campaign Squads To give Campaign Items more opportunity to feature in your squad over time, we’re changing how Campaign squads are built in EA SPORTS FC™ 27. Our goal is for each Campaign to feel more focused, with smaller squads and a tighter range of Item upgrades. That means fewer Campaign Player Items, while the lower end of each squad will generally have a closer Attribute distribution relative to the highest-rated Items. In practice, Campaign squads will have a tighter spread of Attributes and PlayStyle boosts. The first Campaign after Early Access, Destined for Glory, is one example of this approach and will feature 15 players in the Campaign Squad release each week. Throughout the year, there will be exceptions where broader representation makes sense for a particular football moment or Campaign, but generally speaking, Campaign Squad sizes will be smaller. As previously announced, there will also be approximately five fewer Campaign weeks across FC 27. Those weeks will instead feature Series, including themed periods of content such as TOTY Warm Up and TOTS Warm Up, with no new Special Items added to Packs. The first Series of FC 27 will arrive during Season 3 in December. Evolutions Evolutions return in FC 27 as a core way to personalize your squad and build around the players you care about most. This year, we’re refining how Evolutions fit into your overall squad-building journey so they work in better balance with Campaign Items, SBCs, and other engagement rewards. To align with the broader changes to Item upgrades and a steadier upgrade pacing across Ultimate Team, you can still expect to see impactful Evolutions throughout the year, just at a lower frequency and released at more intentional moments. This balanced approach ensures Campaigns, SBCs, mode rewards, and Evolutions each have a distinct, meaningful role in how you improve your squad. Evolutions will also feature more tailored progression paths, with specific positional and Attribute requirements designed to preserve a player’s unique identity and on-pitch strengths as they grow. To help you get a wider variety of items in your Club started on an EVO journey, we’re expanding Training Camp Evolutions. These will provide accessible entry points to boost lower-rated players, giving you more flexibility over how you upgrade your squad. Chemistry Changes In FC 27, we’re making a few targeted changes to Chemistry focused on ICONs, Heroes, and other boosted Chemistry Items. ICONs will continue to receive full Chemistry when played in position and provide a +1 League link to every League. Their Nation contribution is being reduced from +2 to +1. Heroes will also continue to receive full Chemistry when played in position, while their League contribution is being reduced from +2 to +1. Their +1 Nation contribution remains unchanged. Hall of FUT Items will follow the same Chemistry rules as Heroes. Throughout the year, we’ll also be more selective about when Campaign Items and other Special Items receive boosted Chemistry. We want these Chemistry boosts to feel meaningful when they appear, while maintaining Chemistry and squad building as an important part of FUT as the Season progresses. ICONs, Heroes, and Hall of FUT™ In EA SPORTS FC™ 27, we’re recalibrating how ICONs and Heroes stack up against one another, giving each tier a clearer identity and role within squad building. ICONs represent players who built up their trophy cabinet or sustained world-class excellence across their careers, with the greatest among them helping define football history. Heroes highlight players remembered for unforgettable moments, celebrated club or league spells, and lasting impact they made on fans. To reinforce that distinction, Base ICONs now start at 88 OVR, with refreshed Attributes and PlayStyles that reflect their status in FUT from launch. We welcome the following new ICONs to FC 27. Hall of FUT is a new tier celebrating players whose impact in EA SPORTS FC and FUT made them unforgettable, whether through perfect links, standout performances, or lasting memories they created in your squads. Base Hall of FUT Player Items will be available throughout EA SPORTS FC™ 27 through the Token Store, while special Campaign versions will begin appearing in Packs later in the year. Base Hall of FUT Items can also be used in Evolutions when they meet the relevant requirements. Every Game Helps You Build Your Club Post Match Rewards In EA SPORTS FC™ 27, we want every match you play to contribute more directly to building your Football Ultimate Team™, whether you’re working toward your weekly rewards, have already reached them, or simply have time for a few matches. To support that, we’re significantly increasing the FUT Coins earned after matches in Rivals, Champions, and Squad Battles. Compared to the roughly 500 to 600 FUT Coins typically earned from a match in EA SPORTS FC™ 26, Champions and Rivals will have the potential to reward several times more Coins, while Squad Battles will also see an increase. You’ll also earn between 15 & 100 Season Points per eligible match depending on result and mode, up to 850 Season Points per day. These changes work alongside the higher proportion of tradeable rewards in FC 27. More potential FUT Coins from playing and more tradeable Items are intended to give you greater flexibility in the Transfer Market, complete Evolutions, or save toward the next addition to your squad. Weekly rewards will continue to provide meaningful milestones, but they’re just one of the ways you can keep progressing with your Club. Our goal is for matches beyond weekly reward thresholds to still help move your Club forward. Based on your feedback after launch, we’ll also look for opportunities to expand post-match rewards further, including increased rewards for players in higher Divisions and additional reward types such as Tokens. Game Modes In EA SPORTS FC™ 27, each mode has a clearer role in how you compete, earn rewards, and build toward your next goal. Rivals provides ongoing PvP play throughout the week Champions provides exciting and exclusive rewards Squad Battles offers a flexible PvE option Live Events introduce rotating ways to play around current Campaigns and Seasons. Division Rivals In EA SPORTS FC™ 27, we’re creating a more noticeable difference in rewards between Divisions, giving you more to play for as you move up the Rivals ladder. Bounties will also return and appear more frequently, giving you additional ways to earn Weekly Reward Points or accelerate your movement through the Rivals ladder. We’re also increasing the amount of FUT Coins available through Rivals, and all Pack rewards will be tradeable at launch. For example, Division 1 Upgraded Rewards will include: 95,000 Coins 4x 84+ Gold Players Pack 5x 83+ Gold Players Pack 1 of 5 83+ Gold Players Giant Gold Pack (similar to FC26 Rare Mega Pack) TOTW Player Pack Champions The 15-match Champions Finals structure returns in EA SPORTS FC™ 27, alongside increased FUT Coin rewards compared to EA SPORTS FC™ 26. We’re also making changes to give you more ways to play toward qualification and your next Champions entry: Champions Qualification Points (CQP) can now be earned through both Rivals and Squad Battles. The Division 6 requirement for Champions qualification has been removed. Champions rewards will include more Champions Qualification Points. Higher Rivals Divisions will allow you to earn CQP faster, but your Division will no longer determine whether you can play toward qualification. If you earn enough CQP, you’ll be able to qualify for Champions. Squad Battles Squad Battles remain a flexible way to play at your own pace, complete Objectives, progress Evolutions, and earn weekly rewards without playing against other players. In FC 27, each match will feel more rewarding through increased post-match FUT Coins and Season Points. Squad Battles will also award Champions Qualification Points, giving PvE players a new way to work toward Champions qualification. Single Player Live Events will also sit alongside Squad Battles throughout EA SPORTS FC™ 27, giving PvE players more ways to take part in Campaign and Season themed football experiences. Live Events Live Events offer different ways to play outside of the regular weekly modes. In EA SPORTS FC™ 27, Online and Single Player Live Events will rotate throughout the new Season, with each experience connecting to current Campaigns or Seasons through themed squads, entry requirements, and rewards. Tournaments, Gauntlets, and Exhibitions will return alongside new Single Player Live Events. The Ultimate Gauntlet will also return during Week 2 of Destined for Glory, beginning with two Rounds in Season 1. New Ways to Use and Earn Items Holographic Items We previously introduced Holographic Items in our FC 27 FUT Deep Dive, where you can find more details on how they work. Here, we’ll take a closer look at where you can find them at launch. Starting from Team of the Week 1, eligible Campaign, TOTW, Hero, ICON and other special Player Items available in the FUT Pack pool can also appear as Holographics: 87 OVR and below: Regular Holographic 88 OVR and above: Pristine Holographic Eligible Holographics can appear in Store Packs and Reward Packs, with the Transfer Market providing another way to find specific Items. Packs or Player Picks that guarantee a fixed group of specific Player Items will not include Holographic versions. Streamlined SBCs As covered in the EA SPORTS FC™ 27 Football Ultimate Team™ Deep Dive, Streamlined SBCs are a new Squad Building Challenge format that lets you contribute eligible Items toward a target score across multiple submissions, rather than building a full squad around traditional SBC requirements. For a full breakdown of how the feature works, see the FC 27 FUT Deep Dive. Streamlined SBCs will be available on console and PC at launch and are intended to release in the Companion App later in Season 1. Every Player Item in Football Ultimate Team™ has an Item Score based on its OVR, Rarity, and Holographic status. This same scoring system is used across both Streamlined SBCs and Gallery. Each OVR has a base score, which can then be increased by Rarity and Holographic bonuses. These bonuses stack together, so Campaign and Holographic Items can contribute more toward a Streamlined SBC target. For example, a Holographic TOTW Item receives both its TOTW Rarity bonus and its Holographic bonus. We’ll continue monitoring Item Scores throughout EA SPORTS FC™ 27. If adjustments are needed based on player feedback or live data, we’ll provide significant advance notice before making any changes. Gallery Gallery gives you a meaningful, low pressure way to interact with the Items in your Club throughout your FUT journey. You can build around the Clubs, Leagues, Rarities, and football stories you care about, improve Sets over time, and earn rewards at your own pace. As you earn Player Items throughout FC 27, they can contribute to Gallery Sets and remain part of your Gallery history even after they leave your Club. That means an Item you earn today can still become relevant to a Set introduced later on. Each Set rewards you with Club Customisation including Club-specific Crests and Kits, while higher Grades award Gallery Tokens. For a full breakdown of how Gallery works, including Sets, Grades, and Tags, see the EA SPORTS FC™ 27 FUT™ Deep Dive. Gallery Token Store Gallery Tokens can be redeemed for rewards inspired by fandom and Club identity. At launch, Base Hall of FUT Player Items will be among the featured rewards, giving you a way to earn these specific Base versions throughout EA SPORTS FC™ 27. The Token Store will evolve throughout EA SPORTS FC™ 27 with new Kits, Crests, Holographic rewards, and more. Gallery Level Your progress across Gallery Sets also contributes to your overall Gallery Level, with larger rewards at key milestones: New Gallery Sets More than 100 Sets will be available at launch, spanning major men’s and women’s leagues and clubs, alongside Rarity Sets such as Squad Foundations and Team of the Week. A Starter Set will also introduce you to the feature. Gallery Set releases remain live for the duration of the game. New Sets will arrive at certain moments throughout FC 27, but not every week or alongside every Campaign. When a new Set arrives, eligible Items already recorded in your Gallery history can count towards it, even if they are no longer in your Club. An Item obtained today could become relevant to a new Gallery Set months later. The first post-launch Gallery Set arrives at Worldwide Launch with the Season 1 (Combined Rarities) Set, bringing together Ones to Watch, Destined for Glory, and Future Stars Player Items to collect and showcase. Season 1: Ones to Watch & Launch Content Now let’s take a look at some upcoming Football Ultimate Team™ Campaigns & Seasons.

Manager Live returns with a fresh set of Challenges at launch, alongside new Community Driven Challenges, while Season 1 will also bring a new selection of ICONs to unlock and use across Career Mode.

Stay tuned for more FC 27 Pitch Notes, including our Launch Rewards Pitch Notes coming later this week, and join the conversation in the EA SPORTS FC™ Discord. We look forward to seeing you on the pitch. -The EA SPORTS FC™ TeamEA needs to fix FC - the gameplay is at it's worse
Ok im gonna try this again, last time i spoke the truth i got a 1-day ban because EA doesn’t want the truth - they want to control the narrative - This is the worst iteration of FC i've ever played - the whole game is in mud - the EA business model and physics model are broken - the good news is 2k is coming and many more after - so there’s hope and at minimum, some much needed competition in the space. EA needs to prioritize gameplay!! This is a video game simulator - nothing more, nothing less - please make the game 1-to-1 response when playing Seasons online - please make the game fast and dynamic - the dribbler should have supreme control and quick lightning touches and speed - this is simple and basic - this was doable in 2004 - let’s make it happen now - also on defense - do the same - allow for ai track backs on loss of possession to be smart - track back and crowd the middle - simple, logical - also the servers need improvement. I’ve literally had hundreds of rage quits against me with no registration. This is not acceptable. Also, stop with the stealth slider updates - this is deceptive and you're prioritizing user volume over gameplay quality - literally everyday the game feels different - it’s like they have an ai model deciding metrics of the prior day and then makes adjustments to the game. Stop ai testing and have your human devs test it - if they are not having fun - the game is broken - it's simple. Stop prioritizing an animations-centric game and just allow for 1-1 responsive gameplay - animations are cool but right now the engine is not strong enough to include them - they eat too much memory and make for extremely slow gameplay - I recommend you stop prioritizing a model of close-scoring games (killing the skills gap) because it makes for awful soccer - you're doing results-orientated gaming which is backwards to a solid foundational game - this is short-sighted. I recommend you make seasons a faster, more dynamic gameplay that is fun and good for the true purists and enthusiasts and make your FUT for the micro-transactions you want. The thing is - and what makes it so frustrating - we’ve seen great iterations of FC before! Usually after a big gameplay update - the devs do great work, the game is flowing and fast, dynamic - and then, without fail, it goes downhill - 48hrs later the metrics report too many beginners are quitting - the skills gap is too high - not enough micro-transactions, etc - and the stealth updates come back with mud - literally this cycle has been playing out for years. Here is a link to this same article along with one I wrote in June on my substack in case it gets taken down again - I have violated no EA agreements but again, they don’t like having their feet to the fire: https://jeffreybowman88.substack.com/p/another-day-another-ea-fc-post https://jeffreybowman88.substack.com/p/the-siphon-why-ea-silences-its-ownFIFA Points von EA FC 26 auf FC 27 übertragen?
Hallo zusammen, weiß jemand, ob es dieses Jahr wieder möglich sein wird, FIFA Points von EA FC 26 auf EA FC 27 zu übertragen? Normalerweise war der Transfer zum neuen Teil ja möglich. Allerdings habe ich bisher noch keine offizielle Information von EA dazu gefunden, ob das auch von FC 26 auf FC 27 wieder der Fall sein wird. Hat EA dazu bereits etwas bestätigt oder gibt es vielleicht schon Hinweise, ob der Transfer dieses Jahr wieder möglich sein wird? Falls jemand dazu aktuelle Informationen hat, gerne hier teilen. 👍 Danke!This is why im not buying FC 27
The FC 26 development team at EA Vancouver and EA Romania did not simply fail. They engineered failure while treating the player base with open contempt. These are the people who looked at years of clear feedback and decided the bold move was to make free progression in Ultimate Team even more miserable. They reduced rewards, slowed the power curve just enough to punish anyone who refused to spend, and watched major creators publicly abandon the mode while the rest of the community quietly left. That was not an accident. That was the design. Make the non-spenders suffer so the only remaining path is the store. They marketed the entire release around better communication and listening. They filled pre-launch interviews and Pitch Notes with promises. Then the second the full-price copies stopped selling they went silent for months. When they finally spoke it was only to admit they “missed the mark.” Missed the mark on the one thing they had spent months claiming was their priority. The same team that demanded trust before launch decided the players who actually buy and grind the game were not worth consistent updates or honest dialogue once the money was secured. On the pitch they delivered the same broken defending, unreliable passing, and lifeless AI positioning that has defined the series for years. They patched one problem and immediately created three more. Spinning metas, unresponsive fullbacks, goalkeepers who forget how to move, and a Career Mode still full of the same ancient bugs and unrealistic systems. Decade-old issues treated like optional extras. This was never just incompetence. It was a calculated lack of respect. They knew what the community wanted. They nodded along. Then they shipped a product that showed exactly how little those players mattered once the pre-order numbers were locked in. Every delayed response, every half-measure patch, every quiet removal of grindable content sent the same message: your time and your feedback are optional. They should not get to hide behind “we are listening” any longer. Listening without acting is just noise. Promising better communication and then vanishing is not a mistake. It is a choice. And that choice proved, once again, that the people in charge of FC 26 are structurally incapable of delivering anything better while the cycle continues.
