The AntiCheat Feature


EA AntiCheat is a PC-based anti-cheat system designed to maintain fair play in Electronic Arts games and prevent cheating attempts. It operates at kernel level, improving detection of sophisticated cheats while maintaining strong privacy and security standards.

Focused on privacy and security, it was first introduced with FIFA 23. The system runs as a lightweight kernel-mode anti-cheat and anti-tamper solution, created by EA and audited by independent security experts unaffiliated with the company.

How it Works?


EA Javelin AntiCheat launches automatically with FC 27 and shuts down when the game closes. It prevents third-party applications from interacting with the game, blocking cheats and unauthorized modifications. The system now includes enhanced detection classes and additional fair play checks, making it more effective against modern cheat methods.

Kernel-level cheats are increasingly common in PC gaming, which can bypass traditional anti-cheat solutions. EA Javelin AntiCheat operates at kernel level, providing robust protection for both single-player and online modes, ensuring cheats cannot exploit offline play to affect multiplayer games.

FC 27 can be played offline on PC with EAAC active. Modes like Ultimate Team, however, require an online connection and are restricted to online play.
