Blox FC 27

Roblox avatars. Real football. Both games on your PC, read while you play.

Blox FC 27 puts a full 11-a-side match on a regulation pitch and fills both teams with Roblox's own blocky R6 characters — the real torso, leftarm, rightarm, leftleg, rightleg and head meshes, loaded straight out of your Roblox install. Roblox's own sun hangs over the stadium in the first half and its moon in the second, its sound effects fire on tackles and goals, and the broadcast overlay is set in Roblox's own BuilderSans.

EA SPORTS FC 27 Lite is the host. Blox FC 27 plays from your copy and reads its real Frostbite manifests when it starts — the superbundle inventory, the chunk manifest and the per-superbundle chunk tables. Your install's content set is shown along the bottom of the screen while you play, and it seeds the fixture, so your PC always draws the same opening match. The game will not start without a genuine FC 27 Lite install.

What you play

• Full 11 v 11 against the CPU, two halves, running clock.
• Real laws of the game. Offside is judged at the instant the pass is struck, not when it arrives. Direct free kicks, penalties, yellow and red cards, throw-ins, corners, goal kicks, keeper handling inside the area, half-time and full-time.
• Five formations — 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 3-5-2, 5-3-2 — across six teams, each with its own shape, strength and style, kitted in real Roblox BrickColor palettes.
• 21 AI behaviours: pressing, marking, holding the line, stepping up as a unit, timing runs to stay onside, supporting the carrier, clearing under pressure, keeper positioning and diving.
• 24 animation clips driving the R6 rig — jog, run, sprint, two dribble cycles, passes, power and finesse shots, crosses, first touch, standing and slide tackles, headers, throw-ins, celebrations, falls, getting up, and four keeper clips.
• A side-on broadcast camera with score bug, match clock, possession split, radar and stamina bar.

A note on FC 27's artwork

FC 27 Lite's CAS content is encrypted, so its animation banks, player models, textures and audio are not used and no attempt is made to decrypt them. What Blox FC 27 reads from FC 27 Lite is its plaintext manifest tree. The animation set is hand-authored in FIFA's style; every piece of art on the pitch is Roblox's own, read from your Roblox install. No content from either game is bundled — you bring your own copies.
