Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus, has voiced his strong disagreement with Electronic Arts (EA) over his strength rating in the upcoming FC 26 video game.
The much-anticipated football game is set for release on Friday, September 26, and players have already started to receive previews of their virtual ratings. Kudus, now playing for Tottenham Hotspur, was not impressed with the assessment he received.
When Tottenham’s player ratings were revealed, Kudus was assigned a strength rating of 74, a number he felt did not accurately reflect his physical capabilities.
“I’m way stronger than that. 74? No. I need like 90,” Kudus stated firmly, sparking mixed reactions from his Spurs teammates who were present during the reveal. His comments highlight his determination to be recognized as a physically dominant player, both on and off the pitch.
Kudus joined Spurs from West Ham during the recent offseason and has made a promising start at his new club. He has contributed two assists in his first four league outings and has already debuted in the UEFA Champions League.
His performance in Spurs’ 1-0 victory against Villarreal demonstrated his skill and growing importance in the squad.
The FC 26 ratings are always a topic of debate among players and fans, as gamers eagerly await updates that reflect current form and abilities.
Kudus’ vocal criticism adds to the buzz ahead of the game’s release and may prompt EA to reconsider some of the player assessments. For now, Kudus is focused on proving his strength and quality on the football field rather than in the virtual world.
