Waterfall 893 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Competition is never a bad thing. Yes Cech's stepped up, but having Courtois impose on his presence in the squad will make the former raise his game on another level.But it should never come at the expenses of Courtois' development. Hope we don't mess this up because he really has the potential to be the best at his position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yet he's still 84 On FIFA 12. The people at EA really hate usHe's also been criminally underrated in every FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The FIFA ratings are a joke in relation to our ratings. I wasn't kidding when I said there are people at EA who don't like us. It's pretty obvious. Ramires is still rated 79, Cahill is rated 79, Luiz 80, Mikel 81, Romeu frickin 71 and even though he's form has dipped recently Sturridge is better than 80! The EA people need to actually watch our games. I would have it like thisCech- 87Ivanovic- 84 (as a RB)Terry-85Luiz- 83Cahill- 83Cole- 86Essien- 81Mikel- 82 Ramires- 83Lampard- 84Meireles- 82Malouda- 82Kalou- 80Torres- 84Drogba- 85Mata- 87Sturridge- 82 ( as a RW, as a ST 83)Bertand- 75Anyway sorry to go off Topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Nevermind successors, we need a second choice and we need one now, as a stop-gap until TC is ready to step up to the plate. Someone with experience and quality. Jussi Jaaskelainen is out of contract in the summer, he'd be a perfect back-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA dont give fuck about anything, once the game is released. But they make next one more real. That stats were pretty real at start of the season.

I didn't finish, here's the final two ratingsHilario 73Turnbull 47Essien is still decent enough to be 81. Malouda can be useful for other clubs, so he's 82. Maybe 81 if I'm being harsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Essien shouldn't even be in the 70s. For his position, if I am correct, his overall is calculated as an average of his:Stamina (65)Short Passing (84)Long Passing (65)Tackling (65)Acceleration (68)Strength (73)Which averages out to 70.

Plus why for you put Ivanovic as only 81? So you're saying he's gotten worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 He's slow. That has an impact on his FIFA rating. And that's why I loathe FIFA and it's ratings, they're just so based on reputation which is why we'll probably be seeing an 88 Torres or an 85 Essien next year.

They have actually gotten really realistic with the ratings. Ivanovic is 83 (I think) in FIFA 12. He's had a fantastic season so I think we'll see his rating stay the same or go up a bit. Torres is 84. He'll probably stay there. Essien will definitely go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The FIFA ratings system isn't as good as Football Manager's but they can be hardly compared seeing as they are different games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
