    So what's Higuain's rating for Argentina?

    Haven't broken it down but it has to be Real or Bayern

    Real 87.636

    F: Ronaldo 94, Benzema 86, Bale 89
    MF: Kroos 90, Modric 89, Casemiro 85
    D: Marcelo 87, Ramos 90, Varane 85, Carvajal 84
    GK: Navas 85

    Isco 86, Asensio 84, Vazquez 82, Kovacic 82, Nacho 81, Kiko 80

    Bayern 87.364

    F: Ribery 86, Lewandowski 91, Robben 88
    MF: Thiago 88, Vidal 87, James 86
    D: Alaba 86, Boateng 88, Hummels 88, Kimmich 81
    GK: Neuer 92

    Müller 86, Martinez 86, Sule 83, Tolisso 82, Rudy 81, Koman 79, Bernat 79, Rafinha 78


    So based on actual possible lineups Real with a slight edge (though Isco over Bale would change that) but based on best 11 players it'd be equal

    Had him originally then went to futwiz to see other bench guys as well as Kimmich and had to restart my post and forgot him.

    I'd expect him on the bench and with only 1 person below 85 it'd still have the same results but does give Bayern a better top 12 (and a good attacking sub as right now the bench is much better defensively)

    Demo plays well. Still getting used to it. Only played a few games last night. Was looking at some of the potential ratings on sofifa and it seems like a lot of guys on top teams have very high potential.

    Outside of Barca almost all the top players are on teams that have deals with EA. I'd bet if Coutinho had made the switch he'd have been an 88 CM instead of an 87 LW.

    Yeah we will see how the rest of the ratings and potential look. I thought the potential for some players last season was crazy and more dependent on their team than the player himself.

    Haven't played yet but a buddy told me pace is once again not that important.. says it's slowed down and more about passing and dribbling. Y'all enjoy the demo?

    I'm having a hard time figuring out what's different about it. Passing might be a little more accurate when it comes to through balls; seems like the same game to me.

    It feels a step slower and passing seems more accurate. Which is what I'd want. Even though it's slower it makes the guys who should be faster than most (bale, Ronaldo, etc) play more like the would normally I think.

    Mane and Salah are gonna be expensive in FUT for that reason.

    This is pretty accurate. Played some last night and noticed that Sane/Sterling/Walker/Bale/Ronaldo on the wings were able to have that extra pace that guys like Aguero did not have

    Pre-ordered icon edition. I have EA Access so I'm down to use my 10 hrs on clubs but will also play FUT. That initial push helps a lot in FUT.

    How much is the price for the Ronaldo/icon edition? I have ea access. Would love to play next week but I am out of town this weekend so maybe just the 10 hours of ea access is enough. Didn’t realize the ea access starts tomorrow though. Should be able to play some tomorrow night.

    Good. That way my FUT squad will be much better than yours and I'll beat you the first matches. If I see Gabbiadini on your team, I'm quitting.

    I've purchased the Icon edition so I can access clubs before anyone else and claim the "Real Mainboard" name. You're all invited to try out and inevitably be passive aggressively kicked from the club when Druce and I don't get enough touches only to then be playfully allowed back when it suits us.

    Played demo quite a bit. Won first match 5-0 in World Class so thought it was too easy at first, played some of the better sides and the defending made me upset. Hard to stay in front of their skilled player but yet the CPU gets near your players and takes it away.

    Couple of things I noticed. Finishing is a lot more sensitive. I hit the post 3-4 times using the same power that would have been a definite goal in '17. I like how players shield the ball better but a bunch of times my player turned the wrong way and ended up giving the ball away, that will take some getting used to. Pace really makes a difference this year.

    Gonna play a bit when I get home. Didn’t realize career mode added release clauses and sell on clauses. Long overdue and should be a great feature but according to some on the ultra reliable twitter it’s all fucked up. Apparently release clauses are somewhat random and some good players have some pretty low clauses so you can’t stop them from leaving. I know most of you play FUT but I’ll let you know how career mode looks after I dig in a bit

    I usually do FUT and Clubs mainly. I used to be addicted to Career mode but you can only win the UCL with Leeds so many times before it gets repetitive. My next career mode will be with Real in the hardest setting. Either that or start at Chile and see how my manager career progresses.

    Haven't done career mode in a couple year so hoping to do that instead of UT this year (Wu laughed at me for claiming this so we'll see how it goes). Hate using City even though I want to use them so I'll pick a team in the Championship to bring up and eventually take over for Wenger like I seem to do in every career mode I play on FIFA.

    You can play and do really well without spending money now. Especially with the squad challenges if you look ahead. That and getting an early jump it's the best way. Last year I made bank selling Bellerin, Vardy and Sane (special IF) in the first weeks. Never had to worry about coins after that.
