Player Review
91 - Icon
Having packed Pirlo and selling him, I had reached 1.7 million coins. I scoured the icon market looking for a new player to try. Using freeze Marquinhos, there were few options and a Brazilian player was needed. That is when I found him: the best relatively cheap Brazilian prime icon. I am not lying when I tell you this but I have used many good ions this year so far. However, none even come close to Kaka. I've seen him receive a lot of hate for how he played on previous Fifa's but that in no way way represents how he plays this year. Let me tell you, there are few icons that are as physically imposing yet as slick as kaka. Read this review and find your own conclusion. But If you're looking for fun and results on this game when they are so hard to find, then this guy is for you.
Where do I start; well I will justify each part of the criteria given to me by futbin. Firstly pace, with 91 pace, many struggle to keep with kaka. If you're expecting him to be as fast as the likes of baby eto then you are setting your standards too high. That being said if you utilise his five star skills, he receives a literal speed boost after them. 9/10 for pace honestly could not fault him, official pace merchant.
Next we have shooting, Im not going to put too much in the pros for shooting as this is arguably his "con". Don't get me wrong 86 shooting is still formidable, the same as the like of mbappe and better than Neymar, who are two of the most used players in the game. Realistically I think it is down to Fifa that he received such poor shooting in comparison to how good he was in real life. Look at the con box for my thoughts on his shooting. 8/10
Passing was solid. playing him up front with freeze Gnabry, laying passes off were crucial. Kaka was perfect for that roll. I can not think in my 50 games of using him a time where he made one single bad pass. Only reason he is not getting ten out of ten is because in my opinion you have to be pulling off audacious insane cross-pitch passes. Unfortunately was not the role I brought him to the club for. 9/10 hell of a passer.
Oh my high heavens and sweet honeybuns. The dribbling is insane. Being six foot one you probably expect him to be a clunky bus. No throw that belief out the window. Use his five star skills do one flip flap and you'll have Joe Gomez, Varane, and Klostermann bow down to you and beg for forgiveness. I can not put into words how good at dribbling he is. Seriously the best I've ever used and the is solely why i'm writing this review. To give you an opportunity to get guaranteed elite with him in futchamps. 10/10 is the most you can give but you really can not put a cap on kaka's dribbling ability he's the gift that keeps on giving. 100000000/10
You're probably wondering 7/10 for defending wtf, well it is not so much his defending but his inability to lose the ball. If Varane steps in and breaks both of his legs he will rise up and get the ball back. He was literally impossible to dispossess and when he did he won the ball straight back. Obviously if you stuck him at the back he'd get ruined so 7/10 it is.
Finally his physicality. 6 ft 1 and new UNIQUE body style is why he is good now. previously had the high and average which means the player is a certified heavy good vehicle. Now that he has his own style he is insane. Agile and nimble but big enough to easily body defenders when they try and take his matchball off him that he already has bagged 6 with. 9/10
Shooting was good yes, but he deserved better from EA. Yes he bagged a lot for me but I just with they had respected him more. It definitely does not detract value from him and he never missed a sitter. Just some long range shots he might miss but I think that is understandable. 8/10
