Player Review

It obviously goes without saying he's a fantastic dribbler, ball feels glued to his feet in game, his passing is great and he can set up your striker, the problem is, and it's a major problem for him because it ruins his card, is that he is slow and weak, you are going to struggle against the basics of defenders, as the vast majority of them are going to out pace him and very easily out strength him off the ball. I actually think EA need to update the game, and fix his card a little, tweak it, as it feels broken, not in a good way, quite literally badly broken, as even for 82 pace in game i feel he should still be out pacing defenders, otherwise its just not really messi, you do not know what to do with him, as he is so easily bullied off the ball, outpaced, everything else he is good at does not even matter, the two negatives totally ruin his card. Cristiano ronaldo, despite being better than him in game, you can certainly feel the hit to his pace as well, but none the less still a solid card that holds up and will get you goals. Messi is a disappointment. A real disappointment.
