Those 5-star ratings across the 3 Premier League sides become even more suspect when looking in-depth at the attacking, midfield and defensive ratings for the top European clubs in the demo. For example, Juve are in better shape than Man United, Man City or Chelsea, and yet they share those same 5 golden stars.

It'll be frustrating for United fans to see the Italian club be gifted 3 more points in attacking, not to mention a whopping 4 when it comes to defence. Again, should there be such a chasm between teams EA consider worthy of the 5 stars? There used to be a time when only a handful of teams in-game were handed that distinction.

At first glance, it's clear to see that Juventus are considered better than every team in the English Premier League by the developers. It's true that the Bianconeri are a titan of modern football, but perhaps there shouldn't be such a gap. This feels like EA jumping the gun and not taking new signings into account.
