Player Review
88 - Halloween
When I saw he was coming out, I was very hyped. James was like a go to card for me. I played and did SBC's and with a bit of luck I got him. Then I put him in a team. Fekir was there first, but because James has such good shooting and passing, I thought, well let's go!
I played 10 games with him, and he scored me 2 goals and 0 assists.
The problem I had with James was that he always came in from the right. I don't know how, I don't know why, but he always came in from the right. He didn't play as a CAM. I checked my tactics multiple times and I can confirm: He did not play from the right. This let to the phenomenon that I had a RW and a RM/RCM. I had no CAM. Every pass I gave was a little weak. Before he got this upgrade, he was amazing at dribbling. Now he just feels very average. His shots were also not that good, because he was a RW/RM/RCM most of the time, he couldn't get forward. He was a lot stronger, but that was also a bad thing in my opinion. His normal card, which I used for 30 games, felt more natural. When he got a push, he wouldn't fall but got a bit unbalanced. This card just stood there, blocked the game and then fall over, more than 5 times a game. Which is realy annoying, because the AI doesn't know what to do. Sometimes it would take 2 minutes ( in game time ) to progress. Which is very annoying.
BUT:
His stamina is very good. He wasn't tired after 30 minutes. He has a very very very good passing accuracy, but still weak. He is a lot quicker, although I don't think it is very needed. He was an amazing dribbler on the game before hand, now he is just a little meh. Because his dribbeling isn't +30 anymore.
