The Squad Battles mode has received a slight revamp in terms of rewards and gameplay in FC 27, but a current glitch has made it the topic of discussion in the community. The glitch allows players to game the system, but there are dangers in doing so.

How does the Squad Battles glitch work in FC 27
In Squad Battles, you play against AI-controlled teams at different levels of difficulty. At higher difficulties, you get to score more points and vie for better rewards.
The glitch allows you to change some settings from the Match tab, which is clearly the result of the bug. Once you select the team and difficulty, you can then disable all the rules from the tab. In simple words, there will be no offside calls, fouls, or anything that’s considered illegal in a football match.
This opens up the chance for you to exploit the system and almost ‘guarantee’ a win at Legendary difficulty, which will reward you with more points (and help you get better rewards).
However, there’s at least one good reason behind why you shouldn’t use this glitch.

Can you get banned for the FC 27 Squad Battles glitch?
There are different reasons why EA Sports can ban your FC 27 account. One such reason is the use of any form of exploit to gain from unfair results. This isn’t limited to the use of third-party cheats.
EA Sports has handed out bans to players who have tried to game bugs and glitches. Hence, it’s extremely unsafe to use this latest glitch in your favor. Moreover, you’re not guaranteed wins with this glitch.
You’re still going to end up against a Legendary AI. While you can foul and run into offside to score more goals, the AI can (and based on clips, it has) do the same. At the start of the year, the rewards scale up moderately. Hence, putting your account at risk when we are still in early access is not worth it.
Despite the glitch, FC 27 feels like the best addition to the series we have had in a while, and you can check out our review to find out why that’s the case.
