With the gameplay video<\/strong> and Deep Dive<\/strong> released just moments ago, Electronic Arts has unveiled all the gameplay improvements<\/strong> coming to its new football simulation title, EA FC 27<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had already mentioned the AI defending rebalance<\/strong>, improved attacking spatial awareness<\/strong>, intelligent curved runs<\/strong>, but now we can take a closer look at these features thanks to the detailed information shared by the Canadian developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After watching the trailer, which you can find at the end of this article, and reading through the Gameplay Deep Dive<\/strong>, it immediately becomes clear that EA has focused on rewarding player skill<\/strong> with the controller rather than relying on CPU-driven automation, which caused several issues in last year’s title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reduction in defensive AI effectiveness<\/strong> makes manual defending 40% more effective<\/strong> in EA FC 27 compared to the previous edition, where defensive play in the vast majority of situations relied almost entirely on automated AI interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second-man press has also been nerfed<\/strong>. The AI-controlled teammate will still attempt to mark the ball carrier, but will now keep a greater distance, making it necessary to switch to that player if you want to actively challenge for possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another particularly interesting addition is the Off-Balance Dribbling mechanic<\/strong>. During physical challenges, it rewards technically gifted players by allowing them to regain their balance more effectively, even after collisions with physically stronger opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set-piece situations from corners have also been expanded. In EA FC 27<\/strong>, players will have greater freedom when setting up corner kicks<\/strong>. Once selected, every player can be positioned freely, making attacking runs more decisive. Likewise, assigning specific players to cover key areas can make a significant difference when defending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We conclude with what will likely be the gameplay mechanic that has the biggest impact in EA FC 27: attacking space recognition<\/strong>. AI-controlled teammates will now make a greater effort to occupy spaces between defensive lines effectively, provided that the attacking move is built intelligently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, both through balls and manually triggered runs have been heavily nerfed compared to previous years. Simply asking a teammate to make a forward run before playing a through ball will no longer be enough to consistently create scoring opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past few hours, the full list of licensed leagues and cup competitions that will be available at the launch of EA Sports FC 27<\/a> has also been officially confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, Electronic Arts also revealed important details about the pre-order bonuses<\/strong> included with every edition of the new football simulation, introducing the new Ultimate Plus Edition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the new Hall Of FUT cards<\/strong> were announced for the popular Ultimate Team mode. This squad features iconic players who have become fan favourites throughout the history of the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
