FIFA 15: 15 Ludicrous Ratings EA Sports Need To Fix
2. James Rodriguez - 83
You can't help but feel a little sorry for EA at times. Sometimes, they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't. Take for instance the example of James Rodriguez. No matter what rating EA give Real Madrid's latest recruit in FIFA 15, there is always going to be an army of fans complaining that hes underrated. Thats because the 23-year-old has just become the new darling of world football following a scintillating World Cup campaign for Colombia that saw him plunder six goals at the finals in Brazil to scoop the Golden Boot award.
And even if the Monaco mans rating goes up from last years 83 to 85 or 86, there will be many who say he should be placed nearer to the very top scorers in FIFA 15 alongside the likes of Gareth Bale, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Thats how meteoric Rodriguezs ascent to the top of the game has been, and you can almost guarantee controversy when his final rating is unveiled in EAs latest football simulation game.
Personally, we feel as though a rating of around 87 would be sufficient, considering the South American has shone for club and country over the last year. He scored nine Ligue 1 goals last season and also provided 12 assists to finish the campaign as the leading assist maker in France's topflight, and was duly named Monaco Player of the Year. He also earned a place in FIFA's World Cup All-Star Team and EA have a job on their hands now in selecting a rating befitting his current station.
