EA will publish its next FC 27 FUT Developer Notes on Wednesday 11 November, covering Evolutions, SBCs, Rewards “and more”. Two days later, on Friday 13 November at 4pm GMT, the Ultimate Team developers take questions live in a Discord Q&A.
At a glance:
- What: FUT Developer Notes, which EA’s own graphic calls the “FUT November Update”.
- When: Wednesday 11 November. EA has not given a time.
- Topics EA named: Evolutions, SBCs and Rewards.
- Q&A: Friday 13 November, 4pm GMT (5pm CET), in the official EA SPORTS FC Discord.
- Not to confuse with: the Gameplay Developer Notes from 28 October, which covered Title Update 1.2.
FC 27 FUT Developer Notes: key dates
Wednesday is busy: the notes come out on the same day as TOTW 9. The Q&A then lands on Friday, the usual day for a new promo team in packs.
This is about Ultimate Team, not gameplay
EA’s first Developer Notes of FC 27 were about gameplay. They explained the changes in Title Update 1.2: fullbacks, offside runs, attacking AI and kick-off goals. That patch is still due in “mid-November”.
These new notes are the Ultimate Team edition. EA has only named three topics so far:
| Topic EA named | Where it shows up in FUT right now | Live now |
|---|---|---|
| Evolutions | Free and paid evos, chains like Rise From the Grave and Hawk Instinct | Evo hub |
| SBCs | Player SBCs like Calafiori and Openda, upgrade and Hero SBCs | SBC hub |
| Rewards | FUT Champions, Division Rivals, objectives and token stores | Champions rewards |
“And more” leaves room for other changes, but EA has not said what. Treat anything beyond these three as a guess until Wednesday.
What players want EA to talk about
The notes come at a tense moment for Ultimate Team. The market has dropped hard since the weekend, and several creators have been loud about how the first two months felt.
Evolutions
Evos are the topic with the most noise. On his stream on 8 November, AuzioMF was harsh about FC 27 evolutions. His point: players who build unique teams see their evolved cards fall behind normal promo cards too quickly. Traders in his chat saw it differently, because evos keep demand for base cards up.
A clear statement on evo caps, how long evos stay live and whether more upgrade paths are coming would help both groups.
SBCs and fodder
SBC prices have been the other talking point. The Max 88 Hero upgrade cost between about 140K and 160K coins before it left on Sunday, and the Calafiori RTTK SBC launched at about 149K. The FUT Accountant skipped smaller player SBCs like Jonny to save his fodder for the big ones.
Any word from EA on how often fodder-hungry SBCs return, or on more repeatable SBCs, would move the market. Prices are covered in our market crash report.
Rewards
Rewards are the third topic EA picked, and the timing fits. Season 2 is running, Division Rivals and FUT Champions pay out every week, and the Ultimate Scream Token Store closes around 13 November. Champions rewards have been one of the regular complaints since launch.
One reward problem is already on EA’s desk: the FC Pro Open Twitch Drops. EA said on 8 November that it is investigating reports that the drops do not work, and there has been no update since.
FC 27 Discord Q&A on 13 November
The live Q&A runs on Friday 13 November at 4pm GMT, which is 5pm CET. It takes place in the official EA SPORTS FC Discord, and EA says the team will “address community topics”.
The last Q&A ran the same way on 30 October, two days after the Gameplay Developer Notes of 28 October, and EA thanked players for their questions on X afterwards.
We will update this article on Wednesday with everything EA announces in the notes, and again after the Q&A.
