College Football 27 Receives Two Updates on October 1 as Update 1.013 and 1.014
Here’s a weird development. EA has rolled out two updates for College Football 27 today, and while there is a planned patch for October 1, the devs didn’t communicate there would be two separate downloads.
First, version 1.013 was released, and after an hour or two, College Football 27 update 1.014 was then available for download.
We can’t say why that was the case, but what we do know is that today’s update(s) bring a host of gameplay improvements and bug fixes to Road to Glory, Ultimate Team, and more.
