Needless to say, people on social media couldn’t believe Ronaldo and Messi’s ratings on EA Sports FC 24.
One Twitter user wrote: “3rd most goals in 2023 but 86 rated ok dudes.”
A second tweeted: “Ronaldo should have never been downgraded that much especially in pace.”
A third added: “Wins World Cup as best player = downgrade. Sports games never fail.”
A fourth claimed: “Messi 90 is too high.”
Another commented: “Damn I expected a 92 for Messi and around 87 for Ronaldo.”
In FIFA 23, Ronaldo held a 90 overall rating, maintaining a 90+ rating consistently from FIFA 12 to FIFA 23.
Messi, experiencing a fruitful beginning with Inter Miami after departing Paris Saint-Germain, will retain a rating in the 90s. The seven-time Ballon d’Or recipient has not seen a rating in the 80s since FIFA 08.
