EA SPORTS FC 27 players will have to redistribute their Attribute Points after an upcoming update resets Archetype allocations in The Grounds. EA plans to deploy the update by Thursday, October 22, at 2:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and is offering in-game compensation to affected players.

EA’s Developer Archetypes update says players will keep their level and total AP for each Archetype, but will need to assign those points again. The update also removes Attacking Positioning as a requirement for Archetype Specializations, giving players more freedom to spend AP.

EA found that some Attributes had been classified incorrectly, affecting their AP costs. The new costs are intended to better match each Archetype’s identity. Anyone who previously created a Pro will receive 5,000 Club Coins and one 1.75x AXP Multiplier for six matches.
