EA FC 27 The Grounds: Amps and Masteries Explained

EA FC 27's new The Grounds mode introduces Amps and Masteries as the core progression systems for customizing your Clubs player. Amps are consumable items providing temporary boosts, while Masteries offer permanent attribute upgrades. Amps are divided into Standard and Signature tiers, with Standard granting core attribute boosts and Signature offering powerful effects inspired by real football icons. Players can equip a maximum of three Amps at once, limited to two Standard and one Signature, which are managed through the Archetypes menu. Masteries unlock permanent attribute boosts when an Archetype reaches level 10, applying universally across all builds. All Archetypes are unlocked from day one, can be switched freely, and reset for free, encouraging experimentation to stack permanent boosts.
