Ronaldo the rambling G.O.A.S.T. (Sad Review)

By JohnCosimo, 27-10-2018

So, I packed Prime Henry (7.5 K pack Hypetrain!!!) I was totally loving that card, then I said: “You know what? I will switch to OTW Ronaldo as a safe investment for the future”.

I wish I didn’t.

Based to my game experience Ronaldo this year is a big let down due to a simple reason: the Balance/Agility combo that the pace cannot compensate as it was for last year.

Let me explain, Henry have balance issues too right? But his movements are smooth and classy and his shooting is deadly.

Ronaldo movements are clunky and clumsy, it have nothing to to with chem styles (have tried them all) is just the base of the card, the way EA decided he has to move around the pitch.

He doesen’t have the balance and strength to be a real Target Man not the agility and reactions to be a cam (cam cards must be smooth and silky on the ball) and he has not the pace to burst past defenders when he is wide on the pitch (No one really does this year, except ADAMA and STERLING), so he struggle to find the right position on the pitch.

I moved Ronaldo around as a ghost to find a place where he could shine. Couldn’t find any. Sadly.

Lone striker? Yes but then someone like Cavani is much better and cheeper.

Playing him paired with someone else? Struggles to pass the ball (god know why, he is the only one with passing issue in my team, feels like Manolas)

5 Stars skiler? Dribbling with a tall player like him is a mess, not much difference from IF Arnautovic if you want to try something similar.

Now another sad part: Shooting. The power is amazing but man… those crossbars, those posts. No one else in my team hit so much wood as this guy. Sometimes I even celebrate a goal cause I am sure I’ve scored just to see the ball bouncing back on the pitch, on the keeper or shaving the post. It’s so weird how much this card miss the target. Insane.

As I said passing is so weird, I almost can say it is “bad”

A good thing about Ronaldo? Corners and headings from crosses. Perfection. The way he uses is head is godlike.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a very good card, but so it’s Firmino or Son or Salah. IMO this card shouldn’t cost more than 1m coins.

I wish I could write a total different review as much as I wait his first inform to sell him on…. or a patch to fix some broken shooting mechanics.

In the end Don’t buy him, just go and get an icon guys.

This FIFA is not made for the dear old Cr7.

- Headings

-Random amazing longshoot

-Lowers Opponents Morale! Many are scared of him and I got a lot of Ragequits when I am 1 or 2 goals ahead.

Can run for days due stamina

This is a long list of things that disappointed me.

Dribbling

Balance

Shooting right on crossbars and posts a bit too much.

Inconsistent in many games

God Cristiano Ronaldo will save you

God Cristiano Ronaldo TOTY is the greatest card in FUT. Like God himself, he can do anything and everything. He wins every header, scores every shot, makes every pass... God hates bullies but Cristiano Ronaldo is God so he's allowed to bully everyone on the pitch and win every single duel against any defender or midfielder. EA have decided to add timed finishing in Fifa 19 which is the most overpowe...

A little intro about who we are and why we doing this.Me and my roommate we share our FIFA account and split the futchampions games, we play one half each and it actually works pretty well, half stress and if one of us does not win the game, the other one will.
