EA SPORTS FC 27 Ratings Database Now Live; Ultimate Plus Edition Pre-Orders Open

EA has opened the EA SPORTS FC 27 Ratings database to the public, letting players explore player cards and their ratings ahead of the game’s full release. The announcement also highlights pre-purchase incentives for the Ultimate Plus Edition, available until August 31st.

What’s Available Now

The ratings database is live and accessible online, giving players a first look at how individual footballers are rated in the game. While the source confirms the database is now discoverable, it also teases that a full PlayStyles reveal is coming, suggesting more details about player abilities and card mechanics are still to be announced.

Early Access and Pre-Purchase Bonuses

Players who pre-purchase the Ultimate Plus Edition by August 31st gain seven days of early access starting September 18th. The edition bundle includes up to 10,000 FC Points distributed over five months, Seasons 1 through 5 of the Premium Pass, and a Hall of FUT Player Pick allowing players to select one card from a curated roster: Adebayo Akinfenwa, Giovani dos Santos, Loïc Remy, Marouane Fellaini, or Eljero Elia. Additional bonuses are included but conditions and restrictions apply per EA’s game disclaimers.

Why It Matters

Ratings databases have become a core part of the FIFA and EA SPORTS FC experience, letting players build teams around their preferred players and playstyles before launch. For Ultimate Team modes—where card collecting and squad building are central—early access to ratings helps players strategize their initial investments and trading plans.

The emphasis on PlayStyles and the Hall of FUT picks signals that EA is continuing to shape how cards function beyond raw attribute numbers. The selection of legacy players for the Hall of FUT pick—rather than current-gen stars—suggests the publisher is leaning into nostalgia alongside current talent, a pattern that’s become standard in the franchise’s seasonal content.

Early access periods have become a standard pre-order incentive in sports games, letting players get a head start on building teams and unlocking content before the mainstream launch. For competitive players and content creators, that week typically translates to an advantage in early-season Ultimate Team rankings and engagement.

What’s Next

The full PlayStyles breakdown should arrive soon, offering clarity on how specific card abilities work. Players eyeing the early access window have until the end of August to commit, and the September 18th launch window will likely bring the first wave of reviews and early-game meta discussions.
