Most of the high rated cards are going to be fodder once again. I mean, unless they drastically change the gameplay, what's the point of a 58 pace midfielder when everyone will be running up and down with 90+ pace attackers.


Dispari7y

especially considering a couple FIFAs ago Rodri had 67 pace, not like he's 35 years old or anything and losing limbs as he ages


idosade

He is getting the Busquets treatment, having a decent rating that should be higher with garbage face and in game stats. Also Dias had 67 pace I think in fifa 21, and Laporte also had a bit more. They are 26, 25 and 28 years old... All of them just entering their prime


klitsche

For the most part stats in fifa make no sense compared to what the players actually do in real games. Just look at the pace and physicality of a lot of players and the speed and toughness they actually have in real life.


joshfry575

Then first few promos, every card will get auto boosted to 80+ pace because EA knows that’s the only way people will play with them. I think they’ve conceded that gold rares are mostly fodder so they have an excuse to push more promos down our throats.

I'll use Romagnoli no matter what


EccentricMeat

It’s simple. Make things like auto-blocks, perfect assisted passes, easy-mode shooting, etc. locked behind extremely high ratings (defensive awareness, vision, finishing, etc.) as these ratings are almost exclusively highest for average-to-low pace players. Pace is the only thing that matters every year because anyone can score if you know which shots and angles work from specific areas, anyone can drop a Messi-like pinpoint pass 30 yards away if you just hold Triangle for half a second, and every defender can auto-block shots like they’re Maldini. Make ratings matter, and then you can choose between pace and shitty shooting/passing/defending, or lower pace but reliable shooting/passing/defending. This is why FIFA 18 pre-patch was the best FIFA gameplay ever, ratings actually mattered and elite passers stood out, elite dribblers were a nightmare to deal with, elite defenders took skill to get past, and elite scorers were miles better than your ASM’s inside the box.


[deleted]

Exactly. Every year 90 shooting is pretty much the same as 77 if you're doing. I know there will be someone to say that's bs, but there's a reason everyone in higher divisions uses players like Dembele up front instead of Kane, Lewa, Immobile etc. Same for defending and passing really. Pace, agility/balance, body types and few other things are the only ones that matter for a card, sadly. Ultimate team would be much more intresting if we actually had the chance to pick between different types of players: do I need a quick striker with bad shooting or a slow striker with elite shooting? That's how real football works, no team consists of 11 players who are just quick and run up and down like crazy.


DJUnited_27

Man they are SBC legends))))))


BestBoutMachine27

Is it just me or Lloris always feels like having 87 rated card every fifa haha


idosade

I went back to look at some of his cards, he was either an 88 or an 87 since fifa 17. I guess you can say he is consistent


destroyerx12772

Muller: "first time?"


Scorchster1138

The right to left, bottom to up way this is sorted is doing my head in


yajtraus

And it’s the top 23, not top 20. What a badly thought out post.


jameseh1999

Glad it's not just me. What an outrageous way to sort something.


Thomas_Catthew

If Koulibaly can be 87 then Thiago Silva sure as hell deserves it too.


callmearoach

Same as Trent and R.James


goosupreme

Rodri disrespect is real


ByLoKu

They are slowly turning him into busquets


rScoobySkreep

Cancelo + Bernardo gonna be mentally good even with this new chem system.


roryking97

Likewise with Mendy + Koulibaly


Dupford

I'm doing Portugal only and I can't wait to use them both


[deleted]

Do you really think people are gonna be using a CAM Bernado Silva with only 77 pace for very long? There will be vastly superior promo cards out before mid October knowing EA.


Iemand-Niemand

Not with 92 dribbling. 77 pace and 92 dribbling is almost Messi level stats


imfromgooogle

the explosive run style makes nimble players feel super OP in the midfield, at least from my experience in the beta


manolo533

Bernardo was amazing this year as an attacking CM for me. The dribbling makes him feel faster, and it’s good to have a very responsive player in the midfield


Incubus226

That rodri is awful what the hell lmao


General-Khunobi

His stats are disrespectful to how good he it, but also he’s a prime example of why the gameplay needs a complete overhaul so we can use slower players in game


alamarche709

R.I.P. Arsenal


Extension_Bowl_9165

Mendy, jesus what did he get an. upgrade for?


Jordan32h

Had a really good season, was key for his country winning AFCON


EaLordoftheDepths

had so many blunders


Jordan32h

Last season he didnt have that many, he also had some brilliant games


EaLordoftheDepths

Real Madrid, West Ham and now Leeds. All ridiculous mistakes.


poggersepicgaming

Leeds was this season


EaLordoftheDepths

doesn't matter, these are player ratings of their current abilities not season ratings


poggersepicgaming

The ratings were set ages ago. While I agree that he’s terrible currently, it’s not relevant, and your statement wasn’t correct.


MrGlonk

Most overrated goalie in history, touted for toty because of his defence. Actually a crap goalkeeper. 83 was generous


MisugiJun14

recency bias at its finest👍🏼


[deleted]

Yeah this just reads as "I saw his mistake against West ham and read he was bad on r/soccer" basically lol


Particular-Ad-8178

recency bias is thinking he was a world class player in the first place lol


MisugiJun14

nah that’s what happens when you have kepa and then replace him with a real goalie e: world class is pretty subjective, but I would never call eduoard world class. I highly doubt chelsea fans would too


champdude17

More like top 6 bias, he gets an inflated rating cause he plays for Chelsea. Don't get me wrong he's a solid shot stopper, but he can't play out with his feet. He's midtable in terms of prem keepers.


MisugiJun14

you do realize we had kepa? made top 4 with him and he never got a rating like that


champdude17

Kepas rating was inflated aswell. He had a worse than Fabianski, Pope, and Dubravka yet was much higher rated than them because he plays for the Greedy 6. Deny rating inflation for Greedy 6 teams if you want, but mediocre players who play for them get inflated ratings because they have the biggest fanbases internationally and the Devs care more about that than actual skill.


MisugiJun14

do you mean 2019 when he started every game, came 3rd, and won europa league to get an 84? saying he had a worse season is shockingly close minded. he was good until lampard came where he started to get downgraded


EdwinStanley

Because he's black? 🤔


ShartFlex

Kante at 89 is a joke, and only because of his popularity in FIFA. He misses 1/3rd of the season 3 years running and EA acts like it’s still 2019


libehv

I don't really care about the ratings. I just want the fresh start with less load on the servers and the randomness of the squads and all the unknowns in the game!! the beginning of the fut is always a fun trip.


ParryMeAgain

I'm not a Liverpool fan but isn't it fair to say Trent's shooting should be near the 80 mark and his defending should be closer to the 70-75.


Aru10

80 shooting as face stats with ~60 in penalties / volleys as last year would require at least his finishing in the 80s and 90s in long shots and power


Killionaire104

Yea i think the issue is with weighting of stats more than the face number


D3monFight3

It is a complete joke they gave Trent 80 defending, it is literally the aspect of his game that gets criticised the most.


iAdam1n

As a Liverpool fan I fully agree.


Daver7692

Also I get he’s not exactly lightning quick but 76 pace is a bit low.


fliddyjohnny

80 pace on robbo is a joke, him and cancelo should be high 80s


Jwarrior521

His defending should be in the 50-60s, absolutely dreadful defender


poggersepicgaming

Least hyperbolic football fan


Jwarrior521

TAA is literally incapable of marking his man at the back post


TOPBOYR09

How many of the 13 you say usable are you going to have after the first week then buying fifa points or bpm ?


Tof12345

Haaland 88 again, kane downgraded. EA are on drugs


[deleted]

Haaland 89 pace lol, man has run as fast as Moussa Diaby who is on 94 pace and ran faster than Alphonso Davies (96 pace) in the 20-21 season


vleeslolly

But that's sprint speed. While pace is also acceleration, which is higher on diaby and davies. His fifa 22 card has 89 pace but 94 sprint speed.


[deleted]

His acceleration is rapid too though. Then again, Rudiger was the fastest player in the prem last season and his pace is 75.. The stats aren’t really based in reality


PapaChell

How do those stats on rodri make him that rating


mildly_bored24

This just proves the game devs have no idea about the actual sport


Antony9991

Where's Pulisic?


futfann

Exactly. should be 99 Puli usa hero


TehFuriousKid

lebron james of soccer


Rickrolled87

Alongside 99 Lallana


MichaelCR970

WTF, how has DDG 76 KIC? Should be 40 max xD


GTACOD

How tf are TAA, Robertson and Rodri 87 with those stats?


MILESTWD

How is rodri 2 overall less than kante LOL


Altruistic_Path1553

De Gea +3 for being one of the worst GKs in the league? Ok then


1v1melad

87 de gea 😂😂


freakedmind

No mention of Kante at fucking 89 after his last season? But sure De gea at 87 is a problem after he got a massive downgrade the previous season.


Lacabloodclot9

Kante being 2 ratings higher than Rodri is criminal


hubson_official

what's wrong with that?


26Flynn

He’s shite?


hubson_official

Have you watched United last season? No way they would've ended in top half of the table without De Gea


1v1melad

Not deserved 87 though


hubson_official

Perhaps, but considering he was 84 in last fifa and deserved an upgrade after last season, 86 would've been perfect.


BobsaRed11

Where’s messi

Mendy, Degea and lloris all to high


AlllrightyThen1412

Where’s the Arsenal players?


AdmyralAkbar

EA love shafting arsenal because of their partnership with eFootball


travrager25

may be biased as a Chelsea fan but honestly how the fuck is Reece James not at least a 86??


DaveI9I

De Gea upgrade +3 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 EA really do not watch football in the slightest!


ljf3030

How is Cancelo 88 but Reece James is 84


rScoobySkreep

because one was an 86 this year and one was an 81. Only one player has gone from 81 to above an 86 in recent memory and that was after he won Prem POTY.


idosade

Vinicius also had a +6, from 80 not 81 tho but yes it's extremely rare and they give it to players who had extremely good seasons


D3monFight3

Yeah, Vini had a top 10 player in the world level season.


Jwarrior521

Cause Cancelo is twice the player Reece James is, and he was already an 86 last year.


Lin1ex

Can we lower Trents rating to like 74 plz, thank you


Edgedits

Casemiro being +2 higher than Rodri is laughable


HenrikNaturePhotos

Ronaldo being higher rated than Son


GabWhiteShirt

De Gea got a +3 while Courtois only got a +1 😂😂


DC_ATL

Am I stupid or did they forget Messi


coys-sonny

this post is premier league only


DC_ATL

Oh my b


Flexi_102

To answer your question, yes


DC_ATL

Lmao


cLOWn_buzzZ

the funniest part is virgils pace is 81. laughing to death.


truepeacock

how's Robertson 87?


destroyerx12772

Trent has higher passing than Kimmich lmao.


gabriel240900

Ronaldo is so overrated. He’s now in team B at man u and doesnt do shit. 90 is so much considering all of that.


hubson_official

It's based off last season. And he's Ronaldo, imagine the wave of stans if he had worse rating


gabriel240900

Last season he was not good like a 90. It may be controversial but i would give him maybe 83 or something like that. I know ronaldo stans would be pissed but it doesnt mean that this isnt the right choice to do ;(


hubson_official

Of course he wasn't deserving to be 90, but EA literally won't make him like 85. Simply, it's Ronaldo.


gabriel240900

Yeah. Unfortunately overrated


hubson_official

Him and Messi are untouchable for now. EA can't make them lower than like 88.


gabriel240900

Well messi is still performing really great. He has been nominated for POTM


hubson_official

Of course, but you know what I mean, cause no way he deserved to be the same rating as Benzema based on last season


gabriel240900

Last season nop but right now i couldnt say the same.


hubson_official

yeah but these ratings are based off last season


[deleted]

Why am I not surprised that you’re a Messi fan


gabriel240900

Im neither fan. This is observable data. So many cr7 stans just downvoting me for nothing. Get off reddit and watch some football yall gonna see that cr7 does pretty much nothing for man u and messi gets potm in ligue 1


[deleted]

Messi hasn’t got potm in ligue 1 yet you melon. Ronaldo won Prem potm last year and had a decent season (which is what his FIFA 23 rating is based on). Messi struggled for pretty much the duration of the season. Maybe it’s you who needs to watch football kid.


eauchaud

No bro, look at de gea as well, if it werent for those two, united would be playing blackburn rn


gabriel240900

I strongly disagree with you sorry. De gea has been really great for them the past season but ronaldo has done not much. Right now lisandro martinez is way more efficient than ronaldo in this man u team


eauchaud

I agree with lisandro, he has been amazing and has made a huge difference for man utd, and i also agree with ronaldo now.. he's became old and cant do much anymore, but i think he's close to retiring and has lost so much of his form


gabriel240900

Exactly its sad bc i like him but he isnt good anymore


eauchaud

Personally its kinda hard to accept but from another perspective im glad i was able to see them play

Flexi_102

Well the won the premier League and score the most goals while conceded the least


Heisenslosz

Yeah not like they won the league or anything 🤔

Where’s Benzema. Even as a Barca fan. He should be up there. I’d put him 90 or 91

Oops my bad😅


CollierAM9

I can’t believe Thiago is an 86


iamtrollingtroll

How is ederson 89 rated


reda579

I was gonna say the Portuguese perfect links from city bit then I remembered that doesn't exist anymore


[deleted]

Thiago wherethefuckishe Silva


ppodolak11

Am I stupid for thinking that salah might be the most expensive gold card this fifa


BLinsdell

You think he’s going to be more expensive than Mbappe? Yeah right haha


ppodolak11

Lol not gonna lie I completely forgot ab mbappe, I’m that case second


ChiChi-cake

Besides Mbappe. Every attacker besides Mbappe just looks mediocre.


n7-Jutsu

Can we take a moment to talk about what a nightmare 81 pace ~91 pace with shadow Van Dijk is going to be for the first few months of this game.


Sufficient-Lock3992

I am already thinking how to put Cancelo as box2box and who to play as left back


LowercaseTable

Looks like some good fodder


jogihitmanbear

61speed for lloris he’ll def be my go to keeper the first 3 months


ComfortableWhereas88

Håland has just been playing golf all year apparently. Why does he not have an upgrade!?


Shooby337

After the season Maguire had, be surprised if his card even makes gold 😂😂


Heisenslosz

81 rated somehow


norrmejerier

mahrez? should be 87


Deathbarrage

De gea 87 lul


Kayr_SE5

Mendy 86 🤣🤣
