FIFA 15: 15 Ratings EA Sports Have Got Completely Wrong
11. Carlos Tevez (85)
Another rating that falls down to credulity when compared to that of a peer is Carlos Tevez's. There can't be many out there who expected to see the forgotten Juventus striker make EA's top 50 in the player ratings yet with an overall score of 85, the former Manchester City and United forward comes in as the 39th best player in the game. Which is just a little daft, really. At the grand old age of 30, Tevez's career is starting to wind down and he didn't even play for Argentina at this summer's World Cup. Since leaving City the South American has dropped off the radar a little and while he scored 19 Serie A goals last season, the Italian league is hardly competitive, with Juve sauntering to the title by 17 points. But the one thing that really makes this score fall down in the face of credulity is the fact his rating of 85 makes Tevez just as good as Diego Costa. Really? Both are rated at 85 and it goes without saying that the latter is the far better player. Again, there simply has to be more of a differentiation between the two, and EA's failure to recognise that Costa is obviously superior is quite unforgivable. Do they even watch football?
