EA SPORTS FC 27 Version 1.0.1 Is Live With Fixes for The Grounds and Custom Controls
The patch also raises default Jockey speeds in Authentic Gameplay and increases fatigue impact in The Grounds 11v11 matches.
EA SPORTS FC 27 version 1.0.1 is now live, targeting several issues across Ultimate Team, The Grounds, gameplay, and overall stability. The update also changes a pair of gameplay settings, although one of those adjustments applies only to Authentic Gameplay in Career Mode and Kick Off.
EA’s Steam patch notes describe a focused first update. Players should see fewer problems with The Grounds’ Street Football skill moves, Hot Join matchmaking, League Match ping, and custom control presets after installing version 1.0.1.
