    Radja 81 but Higuain 88. Yeah, he's so good for Argentina, EA, always clutches up...

    It was really welcome change back in '14. With all these new additions we have these days, I am more hyped of the WC add-on than TOTS.

    @mHazard Its based only off their international performances (or at least thats what EA says) thats why Naingolan has an average rating.

    Although how Icardi is 85 with 4 caps and 0 goals is beyond me.

    I'll try it out but I won't spend any coins or FP on it. Bit the idea of having to get used to new ratings, playing with lots of undesirable players etc..just for a mode that lasts two months and all that...seems a waste of time to me. Each to their own tho

    "Ezequiel Lavezzi, Napoli"
    What year it is, EA?

    As for Radja, either a bug or EA are plain daft. I'm going with the latter.

    I like how they downgraded aguero, deserved imo, icardi's still too high as hes never used, should be perhaps 83, and higuain needs to be given a ❤️❤️❤️❤️*ng 70.
    For belgium, I feel lukaku should be an 88, he is their all time top scorer and always turns up after all

    and @mHazard , i might be mistaken but i think these rating are based on how often/well they place for the national teams, which is why witsel is higher than radja

    If its based on internatonal performances im very excited to see Englands ratings. Don't think we will have more than 2 silvers. Kane with a solid 73 rating and 99 corners would do me.

    Normal FUT TOTWs will continue during WC. If someone gets TOTW for good performance in WC, the PTG will upgrade. Just like it has been so far with OTWs and PTGs. This is how I see it.

    Yeah that was my initial thought earlier in the year. But there's been a lot of chatter about there being a pre-WC upgrade to the PTG cards selected for their national teams.

    Some of the cards have risen, that's why I was wondering

    Initial ratings doesn't matter since they will all get live updates after good performances in every single game.

    However, since it's basically the same gameplay, I wonder how EA expects us to be excited to play with 81 cards after this mad TOTS giveaway with everyone and their grandmas having couple of 95 players in their teams.

    im more curious about the supposed upgrades these cards are going is going to work, like is mexico going to have all high 80s/ low 90s if they make it to the quarters or semis? Wouldn't really make sense imo

    That's the way it worked back in 2014 if I recall. The concept of live cards was new back then, so it was crazy. I remember everyone having Klose 99 cards at the end etc. I also didn't have to spend a dime on packs because of the insane pack weight due to smaller pool of players, and you got promotion packs in WC online seasons or something like that.

    Btw I just love new player pictures.

    what i'm more curious of is how the hell is it going to work i.e. I assume its not on dedicated servers which is immediately an issue for me.

    Nothing, is my guess.

    Or they just remove him from packs.

    Pretty sure the 30 players from every team are in the mode, just the ones who don't go to the world cup won't be able to get upgrades

    Neuer highest rated GK and hasn’t played a match in about a year, smh. So first match back his form is already better than Courtois- makes sense
