Player Review
89 - Icon
Hello everyone, the intention of this review is to let you take a decision on whether you should buy or not this card, so let me begin by making some clarifications.
I was lucky enough to pack Ronaldinho's baby card from my swaps Baby Icon pack, and at first i was shocked to see the Brasilian come out of the pack, but here are my thoughts after nearly 300 games with this guy...
I must say that the difference between his baby card and his middle one is huge, and as soon as i started having fun with Ronaldinho i was disappointed by some stuff.
He feels very slow, and when i say very slow i really mean his in game pace disappoints me, he has no chance to compete against your classic "Varane and Gomez are my life" kind of guy unless you know how to perform those cheeky 5 star skill moves (in my case i'm lucky enough to do), if you do not know how to skill past your opponent, you will be disappointed with your purchase, other than that, the card is a really FUN card to use! I really love to turn my back to my opponent's defender only to surprise him with a well-timed rainbow flick, making the poor defender question his whole career as a footballer.
But let's review some of the other stats too, shall we?
SHOOTING
So, this card shooting is... acceptable! His fairly high long shot stat lets shooting from outside the box a very viable option, i suggest to use finesse shots to maximize the chances of scoring, due to his high curve stat. His finishing lets he be able to beat the keeper with ease in 1 on 1 situations
PASSING
This card's passing is AWESOME, he can easily launch you attackers with a long pass through the defenders, and his set pieces are LEGENDARY
DRIBBLING
This card's dribbling is good, but can be optimized by using the "engine" chem style, to improve agility and balance. other than that, you will not feel disappointed by Dinho's dribbles
PHISICALITY
Ok, this stat really surprised me a lot, the 82 strength on the card makes it be able to keep the ball safe from the attempts of stealing it by you opponent's cdms, solid.
Overall, i would suggest this card to those more experienced players, still looking to have fun with the game, as i said, you can put both hunter and engine on this guy, but one thing you must know, this card's natural habitat is the CAM position, i would not suggest playing him as a striker or winger.
To conclude, i'd recommend this card to ones who enjoy playing the game with fancy plays and are willing to get a playmaker.
Fun to use
Great passing
Makes shooting outside the box a possibility
Will fight over the ball at the cost of his life
Slow
Must know how to use him to get good performances from him
