92 - Icon Moments
5.0
The Doctor tribute
By nikufim14, 28-03-2022

Before sbc building, I made a loan version and in 5 matches I got incredible pleasure from this card

Having replaced 95 Pele on cam, I did not expect any kind of gain, and I just wanted to play for my favorite player, but

Socrates is more suited to cam than middle Pele

Yes, he's slower, he doesn't have 5 sm, he can't spin and spam skill moves, but he doesn't need that

His shoots are great, I still couldn't figure out who shoots better, him or TOTY Mbappe

He scores a lot illegally, all shots from 20-24 meters fly to the lower corners, while it seems to fly over the goalkeeper’s hand and even Donnarumma can’t always make a save against him

Add to that 5 wf

And

I don't even know how to describe it

14 goals in 5 matches in 1st division in a team with 97 Mbappe, 94 Garrincha and 95 Pelé

The passes are also great, with the engine we get some incredible stats and they are fully felt in the game

Speed ​​and dribbling are the only stats that raise questions

91 with engine is not what you want from a 1.1 million card, but it runs surprisingly well, not Mbappe of course, but combined with great positioning, I had no problems against the best defenders in the game (I hate 92 Varane)

90 balance does not save this card from slowness when turning, but compared to other versions, the difference is serious, but the uniqueness of Socrates is that he can do complex dribbles and you don’t understand how he manages to do it

The only serious disadvantage of this card is strength

He loses fights too often and is not as good in the air as you would expect from a card with his height and body type

In general, even praising this card for the entire review, I cannot recommend his build/purchase

Because you must be clear on how to use him, many will like the golden Neymar more

But if you enjoy players like Cantona, feel free to buy

(and don't change him to Odegaard by translating Pele to lw, not the smartest idea)

Godly shooting

Top passing

Not as clumsy as expected

Pace is ok

Physics could be better

YOU MY DARLING ARE DIFFERENT GRAVY

If you're on the fence about completing Socrates, let me try to push you over the edge. First, my favorite Socrates quote: "Beauty comes first. Victory is secondary. What matters is Joy." Along with being a doctor, thinker, drinker, and smoker, Socrates was one of the most talented midfielders of the 80s. All while he was playing at his highest level, he was an outspoken activist against the military dictatorship and injust...

The longshot monster

This is my first review as I´m usually to lazy to write something longer, but it just had to be done for this guy. I first bought him back in the days in Fifa 19 and he was the first Icon I ever played with. The following years I included him always in my team, annd as I saw his sbc I just knew that I had to do it. I could use many untrades and paid only 60k. He plays for me as a pure CAM and I also thinks this is the bes...
