Cristiano Ronaldo missing from Top 20 highest-rated players on EA FC 24
EA released a list of the highest-rated players in their new game and while Lionel Messi managed to make the cut, his Portuguese counterpart was nowhere to be found - in what is a major hint of a possible downgrade from his previous ratings in the now-defunct EA SPORTS FIFA 23 series.
Ronaldo, 38, was awarded an overall rating of 90 in FIFA 23, while Messi,36, was awarded a 91.
Both players received a downgrade of -1 and -2 respectively.
However, despite Lionel Messi getting a downgrade of -1 in FC 24, the Argentine World Cup winner still manages to make the Top 10 list of highest-rated players in the game, while Ronaldo completely misses out of the Top 20 - although, the Al-Nassr star’s rating is yet to be officially revealed.
