Prime Kaka is built different

By Superkeel, 08-03-2022

Ricardo Kaka... where do I even begin. The last mortal to win the Ballon D'Or before the 2 extra-terrestrials took over. A wizard who was quicker with the ball at his feet than without it. He was the talisman of the last truly great AC Milan team, a son of Brazil who followed the trodden path to Europe and won not just titles but also hearts.

I will not speak about how badly EA's ratings systems has done him. Countless others have already done that. In fact, selfishly it is actually a benefit to those of us willing to look past the numbers. 800k is a very reasonable price for a Brazilian Icon. In game he still has that tangible magical feel. He plays comfortably beyond his stats, and does things which 99% of cards cannot.

Initially I played him at Striker (LS in a 41212(2)), and he was terrific. But once I got Cristiano TOTY, I shifted him to CAM and that's where he truly shined. Most of the goals in the video have been scored from that number 10 role.

Chem style:- FINISHER | Position:- CAM in 41212(2)

PACE:- Electric is the word most often used to describe it, but I will compare it to a storm. At 6ft 2in he should not be that quick but once he gets past his opponents there is no way he is caught. He's no Vinicius, but who is? The icon glitch factor compensates for that. Keep in mind that I did not put a Hunter on him, but he still gets a 9.5/10

SHOOTING:- Deadly. Left foot, right foot, chip, finesse, toepoke. Don't expect Eusebio like finishing but he will finish his dinner, no problem. Finisher definitely helps in that regard. 9/10

PASSING:- Look you know I'm not about that passing life, but a few lofted through balls really made me question my skill centric faith. He can definitely thread them. 9.5/10

DRIBBLING:- Now this is the bread and butter of this card. This is where he excels. Rainbows, elasticos.. you name it he'll do it, and with some panache. To watch someone as tall as Cantona sidestep players as if they weren't there is the most fun aspect of using this card. Add to that the icon boost and just wriggle that joystick and leave your opponents jaw (and his centre back) on the floor. Only because he's 6'2" and I give a perfect score only to sub 6ft attackers in FIFA, he gets a 9.5/10

DEFENDING:- No comment. He's Kaka FFS you can't expect him to defend.

PHYSICALITY:- Here his big frame comes into play. He absolutely bodies even meta defenders, and thanks to his Icon status I have the utmost confidence in him whenever he enters a 50-50. 9.5/10

THE VERDICT:- Absolutely don't hesitate if you're considering buying this card. Rationally it's a good move. He's an icon. He's Brazilian. He's a midfielder. That means links to meta cards like Neymar, Vinicius, Marquinhos. Financially, 800k is great value for money. Maybe hesitate just a bit coz when his Moments card comes it'll drop slightly more. But if you were lucky enough to witness this man in his peak from 2005 to 2009, then I don't need to convince you to do anything. He's Kaka.

absolute cheat code.

So, i packed this prime kaka out of a untradeable 100k pack, i was going mental. I've used him for about 40 games and he has 39 goals and 9 assists in div 1. this card is way too unfair if you know what your doing, his height and body type could be a bit better but him being so tall makes some of his skill moves very effective. this card is literally broken, one elastico and u send the whole team for a biscuit. i have a hun...

Pleasently Surprised (Prime Kaka)

I managed to craft his SBC when grinding TOTY upgrade packs and after playing over 30 games with him in champs and rivals, it’s safe to say I am extremely impressed with this card. He has been very underwhelming in previous fifa’s, however he definitely is different in 22. He feels terrific in game, his dribbling in particular is fantastic. Looking at the stats you might think he would be slightly heavy especiall...
