Social Media Reactions to Messi and Ronaldo’s FIFA 23 Ratings
Following EA’s release of the ratings on Monday, fans have taken to social media to react to Messi and Ronaldo’s ratings.
The duo have dominated the sport and in-game ratings for more than a decade but it appears that time as expected has caught up with the iconic stars. Messi saw a downgrade of -2 while Ronaldo got a downgrade of -1 despite his individual brilliance for Manchester United last campaign.
Another significant feature was the fact that both were awarded 81 for Pace, the lowest in their career and a trait that they once boasted around the 90 mark in times past.
