#CRISTIANO RONALDO FIFA 2010 SERIES#

EusГ©bio is PortugalвЂ™s all-time leading scorer at the World Cup with 9 goals. * Cristiano Ronaldo is the first Portugal player with two goals in the first half of a World Cup match since EusГ©bio in 1966 vs North Korea.

#CRISTIANO RONALDO FIFA 2010 SERIES#

Based on the way EA Sports treats Messi and Ronaldo, we shudder to think how Marta, Mia Hamm, Sun Wen and Michelle Akers would be rated if FIFA had included women in the series during their primes.* Cristiano RonaldoвЂ™s second goal was PortugalвЂ™s second ever World Cup goal from outside the box. The highest-rated player last year was Megan Rapinoe (93), despite coming off a season in which she led the USWNT to the WomenвЂ™s World Cup and was voted the best player in the world (though admittedly she isnвЂ™t an all-time great). Then again, FIFAвЂ™s ratings of womenвЂ™s players arenвЂ™t much better. ItвЂ™s frustrating, silly and pointless for EA Sports to continue to ignore just how good these two guys are. Modric is a stellar player and he had an amazing 2018, but heвЂ™s not an all-time great like Messi and Ronaldo. But EA has also given other players 99 ratings on these specialty cards, including Luka Modric, who set the record for highest-rated card ever in FIFA 19 last year. YouвЂ™ll have to put another thousand dollars in the slot machine to hope you get a Team of the Week/Month/Season or other specialty card with the maximum stats.Д«oth Messi and Ronaldo have had 99-rated cards released on FUT in recent years, with EA taking advantage of various events to release new cards that players will have to spend more time and/or money to obtain. So even if youвЂ™re lucky enough to get a Cristiano Ronaldo card, you might only get his basic 92-rated card. With FUT, EA Sports releases various player cards throughout a season that have stats higher than their base rating. Over the last 10 years, FIFAвЂ™s annual releases have become more and more focused on maximizing profits for the microtransaction gambling of FUT, where players buy packs for a tiny chance to get a great player. So why does FIFA continue to rate Messi and Ronaldo below the maximum score? If you put a forward at winger, heвЂ™ll still be rated highly - play him at defense and his overall rating will plummet.

But EA Sports already factors in positions for overall rating. Their defensive stats are never going to be very high and if you put either in goal, theyвЂ™d be awful. I understand Messi and Ronaldo are not perfect players. If weвЂ™re going to rank players on a 1-99 scale, the best players of all time should at the very least be 97-98, if not 99 every single year. In EA SportsвЂ™ view, the two best players in the history of the game are not worthy of the highest rating in the game. In FIFA 21, Messi is a 93 and Ronaldo a 92. Looking back at the last 12 years of EA SportsвЂ™ video game behemoth (from FIFA 10 to the upcoming FIFA 21), neither Messi nor Ronaldo has ever been rated above 94. So why then, if FIFA rates players on a 99-point scale, are Messi and Ronaldo not ranked 98 or 99 every year? We donвЂ™t need to go over all of their accolades because weвЂ™ve all watched them excel for the last 15 years. ItвЂ™s Ronaldo, Messi, Maradona and PelГ©, end of story. While their talents vary - Ronaldo has insane raw power to go with his technical skills while Messi is more serene and can create magic with the ball - there are only a handful of players in the history of the game who can match their abilities.

Whether youвЂ™re Team Messi, Team Ronaldo or Team TheyвЂ™re Both FrigginвЂ™ Awesome, thereвЂ™s no denying how great these players are.
