If you’ve played at least two EA Sports-made football games in the past 10 years, you’d be forgiven for thinking the developer routinely wheels out the same basic product in a fresh lick of paint. New kits, up-to-date transfers, and minor gameplay tweaks have been enough to keep millions of players coming back to the same core FC experience, but in FC 27, EA Sports is introducing something truly, genuinely new (no, really this time).
The Grounds is essentially the developer’s take on NBA 2K’s The City — an open-world reimagining of its Clubs mode in which players can compete with friends or randoms in both stadium- and street-based challenges.
