Okay, so I’ve been messing around with EA FC 24, specifically checking out Alphonso Davies’ stats and how he plays in the game. Let me tell you, it’s been quite a ride.
Getting Started
First off, I booted up the game and went straight to the player profiles. I was curious to see how EA rated Davies this year. I mean, the guy’s a beast in real life, so I had high expectations.
Diving into the Details
I found his card and, man, those stats are something else!
- Pace: Blazing fast. No surprise there. He’s got like 95 acceleration and 94 sprint speed.
- Dribbling: Super agile. 90 agility and 88 balance. He can weave through defenders like it’s nothing.
- Defending: Not his strongest suit, but still decent. I saw his interceptions and tackling were in the mid-70s.
- Passing: Pretty good. His crossing is 85, which is awesome for a fullback.
- Physical: Dude’s strong, too. 80 stamina means he can run up and down the pitch all game long.
Putting Him to the Test
After geeking out over the numbers, I started a few matches to see him in action. I played him at left-back, his natural position. First game in, he made this insane run down the wing, blew past two defenders, and whipped in a perfect cross for a goal. I was like, “Okay, this is going to be fun.”
Experimenting with Different Modes
I tried him out in a bunch of different game modes. Career mode was a blast. Watching him develop and improve was super satisfying. In Ultimate Team, he was a game-changer. That pace is just unfair. I even tried using him in some online matches, and he held his own against some tough competition.
Tweaking Tactics
I started playing around with the team tactics to see how to get the most out of him. Setting him to overlap and join the attack made a huge difference. He was constantly making those runs and creating chances. I also messed with his individual instructions, telling him to stay back while attacking sometimes, just to balance things out.
Some Challenges
It wasn’t all smooth sailing. There were times when his defensive positioning wasn’t great. I had to manually control him a lot to make sure he wasn’t caught out of position. And sometimes, his shooting let me down. But hey, he’s a fullback, not a striker.
Final Thoughts
All in all, playing with Alphonso Davies in EA FC 24 has been a blast. He’s as fun to use in the game as he is to watch in real life. If you’re looking for a pacey, dynamic fullback to add to your team, he’s your guy. Just be prepared to put in a little work to get the most out of him defensively.
I’ll definitely keep experimenting and trying out new things with him. Maybe I’ll even try him at left wing sometime. Who knows? The possibilities are endless!
