90 - Icon

4.5

Actually very good!

By TheBrighter, 03-01-2022

Hi everyone, today I'll be reviewing...

Rivaldo!

So i packed this guy from mid icon. At first i was furious, why can't EA give me good icons packs? (The icons i got were Wright, Riquelme, Puyol and now this guy). I went to rant on Discord, but after i looked at his stats closely, I thought that me may actually be good in game!. His attacking stats are very similar to Cantona, so i gave him a try. I played him in 41212(2) at CAM with an engine.

Anyways, let me get to the ratings...

Pace: 8.5/10

He isn't the quickest, but with an engine you can make it work.

Shooting: 9/10

His finesse shots are pure magic. His long shots and finishing are also class. He shoots like Messi with his left. Shame that he can't shoot with his right. If he could, I would give him a 10, but that's not possible, so I give him, a 9.

Passing: 10/10

Again, pure magic. Perfect passes for a CAM. Great crosses and passing. One of the best playmakers in the game.

Dribbling: 9/10

It's a shame, that he is so tall and has a high and average+ body type, really. If he would have like 170cm and have a lean body type he would be one of the best dribblers in the game. But still, his dribbling is superb!

Defending: N/A

Yeah...

Physicality: 8/10

He can last the whole game, has 79 strength, can jump. What else to expect from a CAM?

He reminds me of...

Cantona (without the skills), Socrates, Rooney, Baggio (without the skills), Bergkamp.

Overall: 9/10

It's a shame, that he has 2* weak foot. If he would have 4*/5* he would be at least 700k. But besides that, he is a great CAM!

Rivaldo

What an absolute beast.

I needed a legend that was a strong link to IF Vini Jr. and saw Rivaldo and decided to give him a spin. This card is unbelievable; I have tried many different strikers this year and Rivaldo i feel is one of the most clinical strikers on the game. If you manage to pull a shot off with his left foot then it is game over. I used the hunter chem style to boost his pace as well as jacking off his ...

The Brazilian Bus

I packed this man in my mid icon pack, btw i thought it was pele so i started screaming as a pig and when i saw this bloke i started crying in my bed. I used him as a lam in 4-2-3-1 and i was not impressed. His agility was so bad and he got outran by everyone. When i tested him as striker his 2 star wf let me down a lot and in the middel he was better but not agile enough and his passin...
