Player Review

I was really excited for this card since it was launched as SBC some weeks ago.

Despite the price range and many negative comments about it just because of its price, I was really decided to give it a try since I'm brazillian and Kaká is one of my favorite players ever.

I'm a PC player so this card using many fodder from packs saved for TOTY (almost a sheet promo btw) and from ICON SWAPs I had the chance to complete it for around 150/200k from my pocket. I don't remember how much I spent but I'm saying an estimate and for me it was totally worth it.

Positive points in depth:

Pace: if you love speed then engine or hawk or hunter chem style are the best options for you and this guy runs quiet well even being 6'1" tall. 97 acceleration and 95 sprint speed using Engine gave me a strong counter attack piece (even these stats not being fair since Kaká was one of the fastest players in his prime).

Shooting: my man, this guy can shoot. Despite of me using Engine chem style to boost his pace and agility/balance (he's a big guy and have 5* skills), his 86 shooting and finesse shot trait grants you a powerful finesse inside the box and outside the box (not so far). I used him as ST this is why I used Engine not Finisher and I wasn't disappointed. Almost every shot tried he buried so I can't complain. I played 25 matches (WL only) and he scored 22 goals and provided 25 assists.

Passing: just great as shooting is. Since I boosted it using Engine you can imagine how clinical this lad can be passing the ball to his fellow teammates. 96 vision, 95 short passing, 89 long passing and 99 curve grants you many options to build a counter attack. As I said before he's a big guy and can hold the ball quiet good and provide amazing passes.

Dribbling: engine or finisher chem style makes him perform smooth dribbles and despite being tall he can conduct the ball very good. I have Dybala 91 and Mahrez 88 and I can't see Kaká dribbling far from these lads. Rainbow flick, bolasie flick, every fookin' flick: he performs it all like a spider weaving its web.

Defending: N/A.

Physcality: 87 stamina is enough for a 90 match even playing as a CAM. 78 strength suits well and his unique body type and height give him the ability to hold the ball even against strong CBs like Varane, VVD etc. Lacks aggression and jumping but that's ok for CAM. As a Striker I recommend you to not try headers.

Workrates: he is pretty aggressive (for looking spaces in the opponent defence and making runs towards the goal) and his perception of attacking is great even with 86 positioning using Engine. You can use him as well to come back to defence to help a little and his medium def WR should do just fine as a CAM.

CLOSING WORDS: superb card. Do not be afraid of its price or negative comments, try it in game. If necessary you can do the loan version before invest on this SBC. I know it is quite expensive in other platforms and after EA release Prime Moments I'm quite sure his PRIME version will be cheaper at the market (after the SBC expire as well). He is really the Kaká who shocked the world against Man Utd and that 2007 season which granted him the Ballon D'or. EA just messed up a little his shooting and pace but I think they will fix it on his prime moments version.
