Alright, alright, let’s talk about this Manchester United thingy in that FIFA 24 game, or whatever they call it now, FC 24, eh? Same difference to me, it’s all just pictures on a screen.
So, this Manchester United, they got them players, you know? Good ones, bad ones, all mixed up like a bag of potatoes. Some are strong, like those big ol’ russets, and some are kinda soft, like those new potatoes. But the game, it gives ’em numbers, see? Ratings, they call ’em.
Them ratings, they tell you how good a player is supposed to be. Higher the number, the better they are, I guess. Like that Bruno Fernandes fella. He’s supposed to be one of the best, got a high number, real high. A real prize-winning pumpkin at the county fair, he is. This game, it says he’s a top player for Manchester United, you know, one of them you want on your team.
- Bruno Fernandes: He’s like the rooster in the henhouse, always struttin’ around, tellin’ everyone what to do. Good passer, that one.
- Casemiro: Now, he’s like a sturdy old fence post, always there to stop them other fellas from gettin’ past. Tough as nails, he is.
- Marcus Rashford: Fast, like a greased piglet at the fair. Runs real quick, that boy. Can score goals too, which is important, I hear.
Then there’s that de Ligt fella. Big fella. Strong, like an ox. He’s supposed to be good at stopping the other team from scoring. A real wall, he is. Like tryin’ to move a mountain, gettin’ past him.
But it ain’t just about them big numbers, you know? It’s about how they play together. Like a team of horses pullin’ a wagon, they gotta work together, or they ain’t gonna get nowhere. This game, it tries to show that, but it ain’t perfect. Sometimes them players, they just stand around like they lost their way to the chicken coop.
And the game, it gives them young fellas numbers too. Them “wonderkids,” they call ’em. Supposed to get better, like a good wine or a strong batch of moonshine. Gotta wait and see if they turn out alright, though. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Like plantin’ seeds, you never know what you’re gonna get.
This Manchester United team, in the game, they’re a 4-star team. Not the best, not the worst. Like a middlin’ crop of corn, you know? Could be better, could be worse. They say in that Premier League, they’re considered alright, not the cream of the crop, but they’ll do.
Now, this career mode thing, that’s where you get to be the boss. You get to buy and sell players, make the team better, or worse, dependin’ on how good you are at it. It’s like runnin’ a farm, but instead of cows and chickens, you got players. And instead of eggs and milk, you get… well, goals, I guess. And trophies, if you’re lucky. It seems like a lot of work to me, always fiddlin’ and fussin’ but some folks like it.
And this FUTWIZ thing, whatever that is, it shows you all them ratings, all them numbers. For all the players, everywhere. It’s like havin’ a whole Sears catalog of players, just flippin’ through the pages, seein’ who’s good and who ain’t. I reckon it helps those young folks figure out who they want on their team. Too much information if you ask me.
So, that’s the lowdown on Manchester United in this FC 24. They’re a decent team, got some good players, some young fellas with potential. But it’s just a game, you know? Don’t get too worked up about it. It ain’t like real life, where you gotta work hard every day just to put food on the table. This is just kickin’ a ball around on a screen, nothin’ more, nothin’ less. Like my grandson always says ‘it is what it is,’ so there you have it.
