EA SPORTS FC 27 gameplay: what changed

FC 27 shifts more responsibility toward the player. EA reduced defensive automation in competitive gameplay, improved manual defending and expanded attacking movement, crossing and dribbling options.

The main systems include more deliberate manual tackling, improved teammate contain behaviour, smarter space recognition, manual overlap and underlap runs, updated through balls and lofted passes, plus Off-Balance Dribbling on supported platforms.

Do not rely on FC 26 habits without testing them. Spend time in practice learning defender switching, manual tackling and the new attacking movement before entering competitive modes.
