EA Sports FC 27 review: slower on-pitch play and the new Grounds social hub

Eurogamer's review finds EA Sports FC 27 makes meaningful changes on the pitch, with slower, weightier matches, more manual defending, and AI teammates holding greater distance. The new Grounds is an online social hub with three open areas and Rush modes, which the review treats as a sideshow. Ultimate Team is largely unchanged apart from the Gallery and faster squad-building challenges, while Career mode adds Dynamic OVR and a reworked transfer negotiation menu with a tension meter.
