A clear winner (again)
I gave FC27 10hr trial a go, with openness to give it a fair go, the content that is on there obviously surpasses PES21/FL which we all know… however the gameplay even on authentic is a disaster and using the community realistic sliders it made it bearable but not enjoyable and certainly not realistic.
Long story short, the 2027 iteration of games will once again be won for me by Football Life. For comparison, I played the same teams, same stadium etc. on both back to back and FL26 already feels like the game that should be an official football game in 2026 and FC27 just something out of the arcade past.
Thanks to all the modders, I’m extremely lucky as a football obsessed gamer that this game and community exists. Long may it live.
P.S, get Konami on the phone.
