88 - Icon

4.5

Don´t see where the hate is coming from

By Rssm, 28-01-2019

Nakatas 88 rated icon card is the lowest rated prime icon in this game. And his price would probably be lower than the IQ of a teenager that eats tidepods if he werent and icon. But dont let that fool you. This Japanese god will get your game to new heights. I have played with a lot of different CAMs and this badboy right here is the goat for me. He feels insanely smooth. When he gets on the ball its like you are watching a soap commercial, He is that slippery. Defenders just cant get a hold of him. If i were to compare him to some of the another CAM that i have used it would probably be Dybala. They have similiar stats but Dybala looks better. But if you take a deep breath and dive under their face stats and uncover the not very secret stats of Nakata you can understand what makes him feel so much better ingame (for me). Let me tell you about his pros and cons.

Oh, and sorry for my English. Its not my native language. Hope you enjoy. If not: I hope you step on a lego brick.

Long Shots - If you get into the right position. And manages to get a green shot. You will score. No problems. This guy has crazy long shots and you dont even have to finesse it to score You can just simply go for power. We all have different preferences and we dont judge you for it. But this guy is like an elite sniper in the war of the middle east. He shoots a lot and he (almost) never miss.

Dribbling - A personal preference of mine is to have a CAM who can dribble. I suck when it comes to skillmoves and i only really use them to perform som basic skills. For the most part I dribble by changing directions. And after the twists and turns I try to sprint away from my opponent. And this guys gets the work done. You go left, he goes left, and if you then go right and accelerates. He will go on a road trip to closest chocolate factory. Might even bring back some souvenirs.

4*4* - He can dribble and execute some decent passes and shots with his weaker foot.

Passing - Now this is where he really stands out. His passing is so good. He will assist your forwards like Hitomi Tanakas bra assist her boobs. Scarily good. Like how does that even work. anyway. What im trying to say is this guy has got great passing.

Stamina - He can run the entire game. I guess thats enough said.

Medium, Medium - Now this could be both a con and pro. This is just simply my personal preference. What I like about this is the fact that he never gets to far up or to far down. He always stay in the central areas of the pitch. Where I really want him to be.

Finishing - I dont really see this as a problem since he is my cam. And he very rarely gets into 1v1 situations with the goalkeeper. But when he does its like flipping a coin. Three sided coin if that makes sense. Every 3rd shot misses when through on goal.

Price - His price is about 500-600k based on sbcs and such and like some other icons that is not really how much they should go for. But if you instead look at it at a different perspective. He is by far the best budget icon (for me).

BIG BOY JAPAN

Bruh this guy is too good, I was like, freak it. Im gonna get an icon for the giggles, then I was like I got FUTMAS SON, so lets get another asian in this. THIS GUY CAN SCORE EVERYWHERE, dudes like God but japan. Also he pass like a grandma at 93, quick and simple boys. Lastly his dribbling, NAKATA dont fall buddys, he just keep going. His 4* 4* is also pretty good and feels like a hub of gosh darn team.

Unloved child - Nakata

Boys, first of all, this is the child a mother is crying about when she just gave birth. If you pull him from a pack, first you are "YEAH an icoooooon" and then you are "WTF EA have I done to you?". Anyway, I had the same experience when I pulled him out of a pack. And than one day I tried him out, because I was in desperate need for a second striker beside Zlatan. And I stumbled accross this red headed guy and just gave hi...

The one and only Asian Icon

I've had this card for months. I saw that Nakata's SBC was relatively cheap during the time. I paid 400k ish for this Japanese legend and I can't be disappointed. In the 222 games, I have played he is probably one of the best CAMs in the game. I initially used maestro on him but I started using deadeye on him for the extra finishing. He can pass, dribble, shoot, and for some odd reason defend really well. 4 star skills and ...
