EA SPORTS FC 27 has received a new Live Update addressing an exploit that allowed players to score from deep free kicks under specific circumstances. The update is focused on fixing this issue, with no other changes listed in the official notes.
❓How the Deep Free Kick Glitch Worked
The exploit reportedly involved positioning an attacker inside the opponent's goal before taking a full-power free kick from deep in the defensive half. Under these circumstances, the ball could travel an absurd distance and end up directly in the net.
The main issue appeared to be how the game handled the ball's speed and trajectory. Rather than following consistent physical rules, the ball seemed to prioritize the game's targeting logic, allowing it to reach its intended destination in ways that would not be possible under normal gameplay conditions.
🛠️EA FC 27 Live Update Patch Notes
The latest Live Update resolves the following issue:
- Fixed an exploit where players could score from deep free kicks in specific circumstances.
EA Sports uses Live Updates to introduce gameplay adjustments without requiring a full Title Update, allowing the developers to make tuning changes more quickly and frequently while working on game balance.
To ensure the update has been applied, players should completely shut down and relaunch EA SPORTS FC 27 when the corresponding in-game message appears.
Although the method behind the glitch has already been circulating online, players should avoid exploiting it themselves. EA is responsible for fixing broken mechanics, but the community can also help by refusing to abuse them. Winning at any cost should not be the goal, especially when it means exploiting obvious flaws instead of actually playing football.
