6 players who weren't happy with their FIFA ratings

5) Rio Ferdinand – FIFA 15

Rio Ferdinand was often the highest rated English defender in FIFA, especially during his Manchester United days but the now-retired footballer was playing for QPR in 2014 and the move from United to Rangers did see his ratings take a bit of a dive.

Ferdinand was candid regarding his dip in stats and even questioned the developers and coders who rated him for the game.

“I don't know who is doing the stats at EA headquarters, but if you want me to come down and talk to you face to face I'll do that.”

The English defender even asked the team to elevate the stats of the QPR team to the right level, but that would not have helped the side stave off relegation that season. Ferdinand also questioned his lack of pace in the game but trailed off saying that he used to be quick, well he was not quick enough for QPR in that 2014-15 season.
