They didn't mention Zlatan's rating? Because of Zlatan's facts. -There is nothing in this World can test Zlatan's strength. - When Zlatan comes to your house you are the guest. -Zlatan doesn't believe in Ghosts, ghosts believe in Zlatan. -Zlatan's parents used to sleep with Zlatan when they are scared. Just Zlatan things

EA gave Arturo Vidal a rating of just 57 in pace, what the hell is that ? He is faster than that, and I think they will give Sergio Busquets a pace of 30+ like they give him always in last few years, because Barcelona has a contract with PES and this is the reason that Ronaldo is the cover star for the game and this is the reason that EA give Ronaldo a rating of 90+ in Dribble while in reality his dribbling rating should be 10 because he can't even dribble a dead tree.
