In the world of football, two names spark heated debates — Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Fans all around the globe argue who the greatest player is, but have you ever wondered how these two superstars compare in the new EA Sports FC 24?
Let’s dive in to see how each player stacks up.
Who has the higher rating in EA Sports FC 24?
In EA Sports FC 24, both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo face rating downgrades. Messi has a 90 overall rating, dropping just one point from FIFA 23. His downgrade isn’t too severe, and he still excels in dribbling and passing. However, playing in the MLS makes it hard to link him in Ultimate Team because of his weaker teammates.
Cristiano Ronaldo sees a bigger drop, going from a 90 to an 86 overall rating. His downgrade mainly affects his pace and dribbling. Now at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, his lower profile seems to have impacted his rating.
