FC27 could be very PROMISING but folks could be playing it the WRONG way!
1. Do not play Authentic Gameplay style because the core animation of this game is designed for COMPETITIVE. Authentic gameplay adjusts player speed etc and makes every thing look super slow and sluggish and not REALISTIC. Try enabling Authentic Features instead in CUSTOM gameplay mode. (We have three modes to choose from COMPETITIVE, AUTHENTIC and CUSTOM)
2. R1 dribbling AI hack finally FIXED (kind of since EA has provided a feature to tackle it).For those of you who do not know, pressing R1 dribbling button, you could walk into defence with them ultra containing you. Well, not anymore! Thanks to the control SPRINT sliders set to 99 which makes R1 dribbling unusable
3. Opposition AI is aggressive and it really is promising.
4. COMPETITIVE animations are actually smooth and not glitchy (miles better than AUTHENTIC! but still nowhere near to FIFA 22 early version, so the HYPERMOTION BS is still present ) . Adjusts CUSTOM instead of using preset
OVERALL for folks who are disheartened by AUTHENTIC clips, I would say go for trial and keep in mind the above points. I am sure you will like a lot more in fc27 than all of the previous FC years!
