FC 27 PC Crashes in The Grounds – Freezes and Closes to Desktop
I am reporting a recurring and frustrating crashing issue in EA SPORTS FC 27 on PC through Steam. Issue: EA SPORTS FC 27 repeatedly crashes exclusively in The Grounds mode. The crashes occur: During 1v1 matches in The Grounds. While customizing or editing my player. While navigating The Grounds menus. Even when the game is sitting idle in The Grounds. Crash symptoms: The game suddenly stutters or freezes for approximately 1–3 seconds. Audio becomes distorted, producing a buzzing or glitching sound. The game closes directly to the Windows desktop without displaying any error message. Windows continues functioning normally immediately afterward. Important comparison with other games: I also regularly play Battlefield 6 on the exact same PC, and Battlefield 6 runs smoothly without crashing. Furthermore, other EA SPORTS FC 27 modes, including Clubs, work normally without these crashes. The problem occurs exclusively in The Grounds, including its menus, player customization screens, and matches. This strongly suggests a problem specific to The Grounds rather than a general hardware stability issue, although I cannot confirm the underlying cause. My PC specifications: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8GB RAM: 16GB DDR4-3200 OS: Windows 11 Platform: Steam Troubleshooting already attempted: Verified Steam game file integrity. Repaired game files. Cleared the EA App cache. Tried running the game as administrator. Tested limiting the game to 60 FPS. Investigated crashes using Windows debugging tools. Installed the approximately 500 MB Steam update released on November 5, 2026. Unfortunately, none of these steps has permanently resolved the issue. Request to EA: Please investigate this Grounds-specific crashing problem and confirm whether it is a known bug. I would appreciate a permanent fix or an estimated timeline for resolving the issue. I have already spent considerable time troubleshooting and would appreciate a response addressing the underlying problem rather than repeating generic troubleshooting instructions. Thank you for your attention.
Same Facilities Exploit Returns in EA SPORTS FC 27
Dear EA SPORTS FC Development Team and Management, I am writing once again to express my extreme frustration and disappointment with EA SPORTS FC, particularly the Clubs mode. I previously experienced and reported a serious Facilities exploit in EA SPORTS FC 26. Unfortunately, the exact same problem has returned in EA SPORTS FC 27. How is this even possible? You are releasing a new game, asking millions of players to purchase it every year, yet the same exploit from the previous edition is still present. This is completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about your development, quality assurance, and testing procedures. THE FACILITIES EXPLOIT – CLUBS MODE The Facilities system is being exploited to activate an excessive number of facilities, resulting in massive attribute boosts for both human players and AI-controlled players. As demonstrated in my attached screenshots: 75 active facilities in total. 34 active Player Facilities. 41 active AI Facilities. Player Facilities value: 41,600,000. AI Facilities value: 48,200,000. Individual facilities provide significant attribute boosts. For example, the Equipment Manager provides +4 Jumping and +4 Stamina, while the Goalkeeping Coach provides +6 GK Positioning and +6 GK Diving. When these facilities are combined, they create an extremely unfair competitive advantage and seriously damage the competitive integrity of Clubs mode. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE REPEATED NEGLIGENCE. This is not a brand-new issue that requires months of investigation. It is a problem that already existed in FC 26. Your development team had an entire development cycle to identify, investigate, and prevent this exploit from returning. Yet here we are, facing the same problem all over again. What exactly is being tested before these games are released? It is becoming increasingly difficult to justify purchasing EA SPORTS FC every year when: The same bugs and exploits continue to return. Fundamental gameplay and competitive issues remain unresolved. Community feedback appears to receive very little meaningful attention. Players are expected to pay full price for another annual release that feels like a slightly modified version of its predecessor. I genuinely believe EA needs to reconsider its approach to developing and maintaining this franchise. Players deserve a properly tested game, meaningful improvements, and a competitive environment where success depends on skill rather than exploiting broken systems. WHAT I EXPECT FROM EA: An immediate investigation into the Facilities exploit in FC 27. A permanent fix that prevents the same issue from returning in future updates and editions. A review of the Clubs mode balancing system. A proper response from the development team, rather than another generic customer support reply. I have attached three screenshots demonstrating the current Facilities system and the excessive number of active facilities and their attribute boosts. Finally, I want to be clear: my confidence in this franchise is rapidly disappearing. With Grand Theft Auto VI approaching, I am seriously reconsidering whether EA SPORTS FC deserves any more of my money or time. Perhaps it is finally time for players to stop accepting the same experience every year while paying for what is marketed as a new game. Enough is enough. Fix the game and start listening to your community. Regards, A Very Disappointed EA SPORTS FC Player
GK clubs/the ground
You can't play GK in drop-ins or rush, if you select GK and join a drop-in match you will be assigned a different position. the only way to play GK is to play with your friends in your club. I am tired of not being able to play my favorite position. This problem has been in the game for ages, and I am tired of it. Please fix it.
Cant make changes to Avatar
I'm experiencing an issue with my FC 27 avatar in The Grounds on PS5. Every time I attempt to save ANY avatar change, I receive the message: "Avatar data could not be saved. Please try again." This affects all changes, including clothing, appearance and other character settings. I've tried restarting the game, restarting my console and the suggested in-game avatar workarounds, but nothing has worked. Could you please investigate whether my avatar profile data is corrupted or stuck on your servers and whether a server-side avatar reset or repair is possible? I would prefer not to lose my existing game progression.The grounds "Milestone" trophies not popping
The trophies on PS5 / Achievements on XBOX for completing milestone objectives are not popping at all Completed alex hunters milestones didnt get a trophy, seems a very common thing going on as no one can unlock the trophies, similar reports for xbox. Please find a fix, and find a way to auto pop the trophies / achievements for those of us who already completed a milestone objective.Ps5 ranked rush GK not working
Why now 3 times in a row, when trying to be a GK, I am not in goal. 2 times I wasn’t even on the pitch and couldn’t control my player cause I just wasn’t there and 1 time I was finally in a game but as an attacker not a goalkeeper?? Why make a goalkeeper position if I can’t even play it. I have only once gotten to play GK and it was when I was using finisher. Why tf would a finisher be in goal. Why can’t I play with goalkeeper. Wtf is going on with the game. How on earth is there so many issues? Please someone help.Can't change bench in seasons
When playing seasons and changing my bench players , when the game starts the players I selected to be on the bench were replaced with the default players. The only way to play with different players is to put them in the starting 11. This is extremely frustrating and it has been this way since the game released literally.
Hackers in Clubs (PS5)
Me and my friends were playing Clubs like usual, normal division play. We ran into a team with insane players, they were scoring like it was nothing. I went to check their OVR's in the Performance section when you click Pause. And to no one's surprise, they are all +94. One was 94, the other two were 96. It's the same hack from last year's game, FC26. Which EA quickly resolved, and I'm hoping it's the same this year too with a quick fix. I attached images of the player's ratings, as well as the club's name. I also have their PSN ID's but I won't put those up in fear of privacy issues. I have them if a mod asks for them. The club's name is: WOLVES15** FC 27 – The Grounds Onboarding Loop Bug on PS5**
Subject: FC 27 – The Grounds Onboarding Loop Bug on PS5 Hello EA Support, I am experiencing a persistent bug in FC 27 on PlayStation 5. I have completed the 11v11 Warm Up and The Grounds Intro tutorials approximately 10 times. The rewards show as claimed, but every time I enter The Grounds, the game sends me back to avatar selection and forces me to repeat the tutorial matches. I have tested both Avatar A and Avatar B, and the same issue occurs. Additionally, the World Map and Appearance menus do not respond properly. My Ultimate Team works perfectly, my internet connection is stable, and my game is updated to the latest available version (PS5 version 1.000.008). Please investigate this onboarding progression bug and provide a fix without affecting my Ultimate Team progress. Thank you.
