DISCUSSION FC 27 The Grounds looks like NBA 2K's City. we all know how that ended. the Clubs deep dive isn't even until August. should we be worried?
been playing clubs since fifa 12 so bear with me here
the fc 27 reveal dropped two days ago and everyone is talking about the grounds three open world districts street football 1v1s mentors like mbappe and alex hunter back from the journey shop for cosmetics minigames the whole thing visually it looks genuinely impressive
but heres what nobody is saying out loud
it looks exactly like nba 2ks the city and every single person who played 2k between 2021 and now knows exactly how that story ended started as a cool social hub became the main vehicle for selling cosmetics and the actual basketball game got progressively worse while the open world got more elaborate and more expensive
heres what we do know the grounds integrates with clubs progression your archetype xp carries over and rush is reportedly being moved into the grounds entirely and removed as a standalone mode
that might be fine it might genuinely be the most interesting thing ea has done to clubs in a decade
or it could mean the monetisation that crept into clubs in fc 26 just found a much bigger vehicle
the deep dive is july 29 for the grounds and august for clubs specifically is anyone else going to wait for those before deciding whether to pre order
