The launch of the new part of the legendary football simulator FIFA from the Canadian studio Electronic Arts is one of the most anticipated events both in the football community and in the entire gaming industry. This year the company caused a sensation by announcing the end of the collaboration with the main federation of this sport: the game is now called EA Sports FC 24
As it turned out, changing the family name is not the most sensational phenomenon. More shocking were the evaluations of the so-called footballer cards. Among the galaxy of the strongest players there was no place… Cristiano Ronaldo.
The legend didn’t even make it to the top 50.
AN ERA HAS COME TO AN END
Before the release of the new part, the game developers periodically announce the ratings of the so-called football player cards, which users can purchase for their team in the online mode of the simulator called Ultimate Team. According to old and new tradition, leadership positions are occupied by the “golden youth” of world football.
Thus, in the confrontation between Haaland and Kylian Mbappé, equality arose: both forwards share first and second place, with an overall rating of 91. In this indicator, only Kevin De Bruyne, who spent an incredible season at Manchester City, can be compared to them.
It is worth noting that in the new part for the first time women’s cards were added to the online mode, and the two-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, Barcelona footballer Alexia Putellas, was in the company of the best, and the second representative of the sex fair, Sam Kerr of Chelsea, came in sixth place with an overall score of 90.

Then the fun begins. The Portuguese’s eternal rival, Lionel Messi, despite leaving for America, received a one-point demotion. However, this did not prevent the “alien” from finishing in fifth place, which is more of a sensation, because the Argentine has been at the top for many years.

In addition to the above, Harry Kane (90), Robert Lewandowski (90) and Karim Benzema (90) are among the top ten in the ranking. An interesting trend: in the top 10 there are only two players who do not belong to the European championship.
But as for Ronaldo… things are very bad here. The developers did not pay attention to the star status and closed the circle with the Portuguese: the efforts in Saudi Arabia seemed insufficient to them, and the Canadians significantly lowered their rating. In the present part his score was 90, and after passing Al-Nassr they took two points away from Cristiano, which already became one of his worst results in history: this had not happened since the launch of FIFA 11.
Now the rating of the Portuguese star is 86 points, which does not allow the Portuguese to enter even the 50 strongest. The same indicator was awarded to the star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Due to this status, Cristiano is in the company of many players, including Araujo, Cancelo, Gundogan and his former teammate and comrade Toni Kroos.
Now we can safely say that Lionel beat the Portuguese even in the field of electronic football.
