EA Sports FC 24 is finally out for the gaming and soccer fans to enjoy. The game is a first in many ways, the foremost being the first game without the FIFA tag in its name. The game is also the first to feature women soccer players.

EA Sports FC 24 is also the first in which Messi and Ronaldo will be featuring in non-European teams. However, this title is turning out to be a sad one for Ronaldo fans. While the player is available in the game, his ratings are very low. These low ratings dropped the mouth of soccer icon Thierry Henry too.

When he gave up on figuring out the player, it was revealed these stats belonged to Cristiano Ronaldo in FC 24. “No, that’s not him!” Henry exclaimed. He still could not believe these low stats belonged to Ronaldo, again exclaiming, “Wow, that’s bad!” But the reason for his surprise was a valid one, as Ronaldo has dropped to his all-time low stats in the franchise from EA Sports.

While Ronaldo is having a stellar season right now with his team Al Nassr, his in-game stats speak differently. Ronaldo has an 86 overall rating with low pace, passing, and physical abilities. Although Ronaldo came as a bit of a shock to Henry, he smoothly guessed the rest of the players present in the game.

Henry did not have any difficulty guessing other players via their stats

First, he was asked to guess Messi which he easily guessed, saying, “Oh it’s Leo.” He also guessed Thibaut Courtois and Doku very easily. Furthermore, he did not have much trouble guessing all-rounder players Casemiro and Antoine Griezmann. Henry correctly guessed Gabriel Martinelli after a few moments too.
