Gameplay Changes Are Finally Here

Players have described FC 27 gameplay in a multitude of ways since release, but enjoyable was a term rarely used to do so, unfortunately.
Title Update 1.2.0 addresses one of the biggest gameplay problems: the 95 Depth tactical setup that almost every player was using, especially in FUT Champions.
Defenders will now retreat on the field earlier, while still maintaining a high line. This should decrease the effectiveness of this high press approach, while still making it viable for players who prefer to press opponents during their build-up phase.
Players' positioning, mainly fullbacks, was fixed. Players no longer dropped too low when defending, which gave opponents too much space to explore on the wings.
The good old kick-off glitch was also addressed, as your defensive line will no longer drop back into the depths of your penalty box. Players are now lined up more centrally to prevent opponents from reaching your goal in three or fewer passes.
Attacking AI also saw some much-needed improvements, even if these changes are focused more on inside-the-box and counter-attack situations.
Career Mode, Rush, and Ultimate Team Improvements

Both Rush and Ultimate Team received many bug fixes, with the Evolution preview bug that prevented players from advancing through it finally fixed.
Player bios were updated for Ultimate Team, while two new settings were added to The Grounds for PC players only.
As for Career Mode, the Energy Recovery setting was added in Manager Career, allowing managers to have more control over how much time it takes for their players to recover their stamina.
Improvements were made to contract negotiations, with players' wage demands now being affected by their squad role. The bug that saw players sign for an AI Club if you enquired about them was also fixed.
The press conference UI received significant enhancements, and a Scenario Objectives title was added to the Office tab.
This is everything you need to know about the FC 27 Title Update 1.2.0, which went live on November 10th.
