They should’ve just left them out of the game.
The world’s two best players, sport’s two most divisive characters are at the centre of yet more Twitter wars after FIFA 17’s player ratings were leaked.
The new version is released on September 27 so, right now, all there is really to do is argue over which player should be higher in the ranking system and which gamer abuses speed the most.
Ahead of the launch, EA Sports have been drip-feeding bits of info out into the public and, even with 30 of the top 50 players being announced, no-one has lost the plot.
All that’s been happening is excited buyers getting more and more pumped.

Then, this happens.
Lionel Messi’s stats are leaked.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s stats are leaked.
There’s a difference and everyone spots it.
War is raged.

The resistance emerges.
Ronaldo is rated higher over Messi in FIFA 17. About time EA. About time.
