Bürki, Löwen and Klauss tops the list of City SC player ratings, with Nilsson rounding the players to receive an overall rating of at least 70 on the squad in the game.
It is neither shocking nor surprising that those four players received the highest ratings on the squad. All four players have had terrific seasons in the MLS on the pitch and along with their previous European and Bundesliga backgrounds, it makes sense to have top the ratings on the squad.
The club, with midfielder Vassilev, went around the club's training ground to show various members of the squad their player ratings on YouTube. Some players were ok with their ratings while a few did get annoyed with how low some of their ratings were.
EAFC ratings are scaled from a 1-99 rating scale. Similar to fellow EA Sports franchises NHL, UFC, F1 and Madden NFL franchises, the higher the rating the better, so getting a 99 is the rating that players want.
In the video game series formerly known as FIFA, players rating with the exception of goalkeeper, is determined by six factors — the players speed, shooting ability, passing ability, dribbling ability, defensive ability and physical attributes.
