'FIFA 18' demo reveals player ratings; other details released

39 players have been given perfect skill ratings

The demo for “FIFA 18” has been released. One of the most anticipated details involves how the superstars will be ranked. For this year's iteration of one of the most popular sports games, 39 players have been given a perfect skill rating, and some of the biggest superstars are among them.

EA Sports has revealed all of the five-star skill players for “FIFA 18.” Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba have made the cut. Paris Saint-Germain is the only club with three five-star skill players since it also has Angel Di Maria and Hatem Ben Arfa aside from the recent inclusion of Neymar.

To football fans around the world, the yearly release of FIFA has become more than just a game. Fans and players alike take player ratings seriously as this is the closest they can get to gauge their favourite players' skills. This is why a few gamers end up unhappy with some releases.

According to The Sun, after the player ratings were released, Manchester star Benjamin Mendy blasted his 78 rating in “FIFA 18.” The French star took his sentiments to Twitter to tell developer EA Sports, “Ahaha you don’t have TV last year. 78 really ?!!”

The 52 million-pound fullback for Manchester had an improved rating of 78. Unfortunately, this was far lower than he had expected. Mendy had a 75 rating in last year’s “FIFA 17” and was counting on a higher rating for this year’s iteration following his amazing recent season.

It was not him alone who was not happy with his rating. Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi also took his reaction to Twitter and backed up his good old buddy by saying “you tell them brother” in French. Of course, this led to their millions of fans reacting or laughing hard at their exchange.
