Bocanegra and Brooks should be our centerback pairing.

Boca is rated 75, Brooks 74... Besler is 68.

Their ratings of American players have long been complete and utter shite.

Bacon is a 69, Jozy is at 78.

The only saving grace about all of this is that the ratings are dynamic so hopefully they get their shite together.

Please list the complete roster, so I can make educated predictions on who our final 23 should be.

I kinda wonder if Jurgan would've called Bocanegra for that Mexico game if all the MLS clubs would've stayed alive in the Champions League.

Based on ratings, our best XI would be

GK Howard (84)
RB Chandler (75)
CB Boca (75)
CB Brooks (74)
LB Castillo (73) – HOLY frick
RDM Jones (74)
LDM Holden's ghost (74)
RM Donovan (75)
LM Davis (72)
CAM Dempsey (82)
ST Jozy (78)



It should be noted that Holden, Jones and Kljestan are rated higher than Bradley. Also, Castillo, Davis and Beasley are rated higher than Fab Johnson.

Christ, EA.

I read a review on gamespot saying it was a "less serious version of FIFA 14", bascially it is easier to score. What's your take?

I've only played 2 full matches but I feel like it's a tad harder to score.

What is Bradley rated. Surely he's approaching 80.

Well if he's less than Holden that means he's lower than 74

I'm more dumbfounded that Fab is at 69.

EA is fricking awful when it comes to ranking Americans.

Based on any logic you know that Bradley has to be an 80.

It seems that they changed the ratings from the demo though. I know Beas is a 69 there and Fab is definitely higher than that.

But ffs, those ratings are awful.

These ratings are from the first roster update.

But seriously, how the frick are these ratings determined? Donovan a 75? Jozy a 78? Bacon a 69 and Besler a 68? What in the actual frick.


As far as the demo goes, I found that scoring was harder. My roommate and I played 4 games before one of us scored. I think we've got the hang of it a bit more though because the goals are coming, but still not lighting it up.

I really don't know how the dynamic updates work. The first one put the USMNT through the ringer though. They had 15 players drop in form, while Germany and Ghana had a combined 2 players drop in form.
