EA FC 27 Problems After Update 1.0.1: What's Still Not Working?

EA Sports FC 27 has received its first Title Update, 1.0.1, fixing several problems across gameplay, Ultimate Team, The Grounds, controllers and different platforms.

But the first update hasn't fixed everything.

After the patch, players are still reporting crashes, freezing, controller problems, matchmaking issues, Ultimate Team problems and other bugs.

Some of these are individual player reports and have not yet been officially confirmed by EA. That's important because a reported problem isn't necessarily a confirmed game-wide bug.

Here's what players are still reporting after EA FC 27 Update 1.0.1.

PC Crashes Are Still Being Reported

PC players are still reporting crashes after the 1.0.1 update.

Some reports describe FC 27 crashing during matches, while others mention freezing followed by connection errors. There are also reports involving EA AntiCheat and technical errors.

This means Update 1.0.1 should not be considered a complete solution for every FC 27 PC stability problem.

What players are reporting:

FC 27 crashing during matches

Freezing before returning to the desktop

AntiCheat-related errors

Connection errors appearing after crashes

Crashes that continue after updating the game

These are currently player reports and should not be treated as confirmed problems affecting every PC player.

Controller Problems Haven't Completely Disappeared

Update 1.0.1 fixed a specific issue involving custom controller presets and incorrect input registration.

However, players are still reporting other controller-related problems.

One reported issue involves Rush on PC, where controller input can reportedly stop working once the match begins even though the controller works normally beforehand.

So there is an important distinction:

EA fixed one specific controller problem, but that doesn't mean every controller issue has been resolved.

Clubs Matchmaking Problems

Clubs players are also reporting matchmaking problems.

Some reports describe extremely long searches or an inability to find matches when using particular server regions.

One example involves players reporting difficulties finding Clubs matches on Middle East servers while matchmaking works after changing server regions.

This should currently be considered a player-reported issue rather than proof of a universal server problem.

If you're experiencing this yourself, it can be useful to check whether the problem changes when using another available server region.

PS5 Menu Freezing

Update 1.0.1 included a PS5 fix for a specific visual problem that could occur in the main menu.

However, players are still reporting menu freezing and crashes on PS5.

Some reports describe the game becoming completely unresponsive and requiring the player to close FC 27 and restart it.

This is another important distinction:

The update fixed a specific visual issue. It did not confirm that every PS5 menu-freezing problem was solved.

Ultimate Team Rewards and Missing Content

Ultimate Team players are also reporting problems involving rewards and missing content.

Current player reports include situations where certain rewards or edition bonuses aren't appearing as expected.

There are also reports of objectives being completed without players being able to claim the corresponding rewards.

These cases could potentially be related to account entitlements, temporary server problems or individual account issues, so they should not automatically be classified as universal FC 27 bugs.

If you're missing an expected reward, restarting Ultimate Team and checking again later may be worth trying before assuming the content has permanently disappeared.

Players Starting in the Wrong Positions

Another reported Ultimate Team problem involves players starting matches in positions different from the positions configured in the squad.

For players building specific tactical setups, this can obviously affect the way the team performs from the opening whistle.

The issue has been reported by players in the EA community, but it has not been established as a universal problem affecting every Ultimate Team squad.

The Grounds Still Has Problems

Update 1.0.1 fixed several The Grounds issues, including:

5-Star Skill Moves

Hot Join problems

Unexpectedly high ping during League Matches

However, additional problems continue to be reported.

One example involves milestones, trophies or achievements not unlocking after completing the required objectives.

Again, this is currently a player-reported issue rather than something that should automatically be described as a confirmed universal bug.

The important thing is that Update 1.0.1 was never presented as a solution for every FC 27 problem.

Is EA Aware of the Remaining Problems?

EA has an official FC 27 Bug Reports section where players can submit problems and discuss issues with other players.

The community is continuing to report technical problems, gameplay issues, connectivity problems and other bugs.

However, there is a major difference between:

Player reported → Under investigation → Confirmed → Fixed

A player reporting a problem doesn't automatically mean EA has confirmed it.

For that reason, this article will be updated as EA officially confirms additional issues or releases new fixes.

What Should You Do If You're Still Having Problems?

Before assuming the problem is a permanent FC 27 bug, try some basic troubleshooting:

PC

Restart FC 27

Restart the EA app

Verify or repair the game files

Update your GPU drivers

Restart your PC

Check EA AntiCheat if the error specifically mentions it

PS5 / Xbox

Completely close FC 27

Restart the console

Check for another game update

Check your internet connection

Restart your router if connection problems continue

Ultimate Team

Leave Ultimate Team and re-enter

Restart the game

Check whether the reward appears later

Avoid repeatedly attempting the same action if the servers appear unstable

These steps won't fix every problem, but they can help determine whether you're dealing with a local issue or something happening on EA's side.

Final Thoughts

EA FC 27 Update 1.0.1 fixed several important problems, but it clearly isn't the final word on the game's technical issues.

The update improved specific controller, Ultimate Team, The Grounds, PS5 and stability problems, but players are still reporting other issues after installing the patch.

The most important thing is to separate confirmed EA fixes from community-reported problems.

As FC 27 moves beyond Early Access and into its full launch, additional patches are likely to address more problems.

We'll continue updating this article as new FC 27 bugs are confirmed and fixed.
