FC 27's First FUT Developer Notes Land

EA has published the first FUT Developer Notes for EA SPORTS FC 27, opening a new direct-from-the-team channel that combines early-launch telemetry, an outline of what is already being worked on, and a tease of a community Q&A.

Key Points

- Coin balances across the FUT player base are more than 50% higher than at the same point last year, and a higher share of Starting XI players are being acquired directly through the Transfer Market.

- The new PvE Live Events have already become the third most played FUT experience behind Rivals and Squad Battles, and EA says more Live Event capabilities are planned for the opening Seasons.

- Streamlined SBCs went live on the Companion App on 28 September, and the team is collecting quality-of-life feedback, including requests to mark or favourite players before submitting them into SBCs.

- More than 350,000 players have linked their EA account to authorized community partner sites such as FUT.GG, FUTBIN and FUTWIZ, and EA is preparing more data exposure for those integrations.

- EA is monitoring Evolutions and the broader pace of squad upgrades, with this year's tuning framed as a balance across Evolutions, game-mode rewards, SBCs and the Transfer Market.

- End-of-match rewards are a starting point: EA plans more ways to reward playing matches later in the year, so even after a major reward threshold the next match should still feel like it moves the Club forward.

- A FUT-specific Q&A is planned for the Official EA SPORTS FC Discord, with the date to be announced separately.
