Hey Nate! Great breakdown of the FC25 ratings—it's always interesting to see how EA Sports adjusts player stats. I’ll try to summarize some key points EA FC 24 Coins and thoughts on the ratings you discussed:
Key Highlights:
1. Top 50 Overview: Upgrades and Downgrades: We see significant upgrades for players like Jude Bellingham (90) and Rodri (91), while Messi (88) and Lewandowski (89) face downgrades.
Play Style Plus: Some interesting changes in play style pluses, such as Ederson potentially having Long Ball Pass Plus, and Harry Kane with Shooting Play Style Plus.
Surprises: Ronaldo’s improved rating and Suarez’s return are notable, but the downgrade for Neymar is a bit surprising given his recent performances.
2. Women's Ratings: Beth Mead: A small upgrade with boosted physical stats, reflecting a trend in EA boosting women's physical attributes.
Sam Kerr: Maintains her 90 rating with a change in play style plus from Power Header to Finesse Plus.
3. Young Players: Nico Williams: Significant upgrade but a bit puzzling with his unchanged pace.
Lamine Yamal and Endrick: Their high ratings for their first Ultimate Team cards are noteworthy, reflecting their potential and hype.
4. Confusing Elements: Pace Adjustments: Many players’ pace ratings seem inconsistent with their overall upgrades (e.g., Mallister, Odegard). This could be EA trying to balance players' performance early in the game.
Overall Ratings vs. Individual Stats: Some high-rated players like Bellingham have stats that don’t always align with their overall rating, which can be a bit frustrating.
5. Top Players: Mbappé (91): Remains at the top with unchanged stats, likely to be a very expensive and meta card.
Haaland (91): Slight downgrade but still a strong presence in-game.
6. Miscellaneous: Cole Palmer: The pace issue is confusing, given his upgrade from a silver card. It seems like an oversight.
Julian Alvarez: His card looks solid and could be a valuable early investment due to his stats.
