Player Review
90 - Flashback SBC
Context: Div 1- Elite player. 80 games played, 21 goals 40 assists. Played at CAM with an Engine for ~70 games, ST with a Hunter for ~10.
Stats and traits look incredible on paper, but simply does not translate particularly well in game. Feels exceedingly generic. Was hoping he'd be my gold Messi replacement due to the on-paper pace bump, but his left stick is TERRIBLE in comparison even on an engine. There is very little burst in this card and I lost count of how many chances he bottled on his weak foot, which feels closer to a 3* than a 4*. Unique body type honestly feels like an average body type and I can feel a similar windup delay when powering up/trying to time shots. Playing alongside flashback Ney and Mbappe, I never really noticed any noteworthy secondary runs from the CAM position to support the attack (tends to drift wide on stock instructions). Passes well on both feet with the engine, but that's not really why you pay up the fodder to do this card. Offers close to zero tracking back. Am actively looking for a replacement CAM after one weekend league run.
