The beta will be closed soon.
I want to make a global feeling and I have got a different feeling from my experience with the beta.
First, I have played more than 650 hours to FC 26. So it's fresh in my head.
I played more than 60 games on the beta.
The big issue of FC 26, was the lack of fouls.
The first thing in FC 27 you will noticed is : yes EA can made a physical game!
At the start of the beta, CPU made too many nasty dub slidding tackle . After an update, I have seen more little fouls, it's more logic.
The sliders are now powerful and you don't need to increased to high value like before.
Shoot error at 60 is perfect.
In general. 65 is the hightest value except for physically at 99😍
What's new on the screen?
The graphics are better, the lighting is amazing!
The pitch is great too.
How is the ball physics ?
With defaut value for Authentic, the ball is not stick to your feet. I didn't need to change it.
On rainning match, it's far better than FC 26. You won't see anymore rocket ball or too slow passing.
They have improved the shot variation, with a real curve. Freekick are fantastic this year. With B Fernandes or Dybala, you can score some beauties!
How feel the players ?
There is more inertia but with more rectivity too. You can now with a powerful defender like Upamecano destroys a striker like Vinicius with strong shield contacts. Very rare on FC26.
If you have seen the last video of Anth James with his V10, , everything I have seen is in FC 27 : the physicality, the strong defense, less frenetic mouvs, the better AI.
The goalkeepers are insane in a good way. Last year, they didn't box the ball enough or go away of their surface. It was fixed in FC 27. The GK sliders is at 50 at vanilla and i didn't need to increase it🤩
They go out of their surface to kick the ball if needed with many new animations.
What about AI?
EA fixed many things. Before you have to switch quickly to take control of the right player in defense because they were really dumbed and too heavy. Now, the selection is quicker and the position of the team is good. You defend now like a team, and not in 1Vs1👍.
You will see different type of marking : individual or collective. But you will see some evolution when the score changed. CPU will press you if you have the advantage but will turn around the ball if the CPU is winning.
Today, i was winning 2-0 at Sunderland. I make 5 big changes to have fresh players for the next match. It was rainning and my defender in a bad period made a very bad control. CPU has stolen the ball and scored. CPU is pushing until the end of the match to score😎
What about career mode?
I hate the new menus, too dark and FUT like but I'm living with it.
Tranfers are now great. It's take more time to have a player. It depends of your team, the conditions of the contract, your rival can going in your tranfer to steal your target. You can chose the general overal of your target and your , like in old FIFAs.
Dynamic general, what is it?
You start with a general but depends of your performance, it will increased or go down.
You will have more pressure with your stars if they didn't have great performance.
After a long injuries, it will take time to find your initial level.
How about management?
This year, it's the key. Find the perfect mix between stars and wonderkids evolution.
If they don't play enough, they will demand to be out of your team.
With more unexpecting moments, many light or long injuries will happened before an important match like a derby or a Champion League match.
You can break bad performances but it could be worst after the match.
So I played like usual with United and Juventus.
I'm leader in Serie A but 8th in Premier League.
How is the most important thing : the gameplay?
I was thinking that EA will make only little fix and basta.
But for the first Time since man years, you fell some nice things, of the old FIFAs.
FC 26 was the first step but many things were not enough.
Now, playing against City or Real Madrid or Sassualo, you feel the difference.
A 60 gen didn't make the same passes or shot than B Fernandes. Playstyle are like old player ID of Konami. Stats matter really and the moral too.
The better ball physics, the CPU is always on now with intelligent moving and a great reactivity, the fun is hear.
You love FC26? This opus will be great for you.
The comeback of the fouls changes so many things in career : strategy, injuries, stamina.
EA have done a great job. I hope FC 27 vanilla will be like that or better.
For me, this gameplay is a 8,5 near 9/10.
FC 26 is a 7/10.
I having 5 penalties in 8 matchs. I didn't expectig that before starting the beta.
On FUMA, legend, the game is really competitive.
The cons :
Sometimes, ballspeed on pass at night is too high
No sexy menus : too dark and FUT like
Some strange animations of running with some long players like Osimhen
Still some skating
Some visual ghosting
Cutscenes not at constant 60 fps on PS5 Pro
Interviews are only text
The CPU shoots too early sometimes without defender near it
