Alright, so the other day I was messing around with FIFA 23, and I really wanted to see what all the fuss was about with Gonçalo Ramos. I mean, I’d heard people talking about him, but I wanted to check him out myself.
First thing I did was jump into a quick match. Just a regular exhibition game, nothing fancy. I picked a team that I figured would let him shine – you know, a team that wasn’t too stacked, but still decent. I wanted to get a good feel for how he played, not just how the whole team played.
My initial impression? Dude’s fast. Like, really fast. I was able to easily outpace some defenders, which was pretty sweet. I tried a few through balls, and he was making some good runs. His dribbling felt pretty responsive too, I have to say. Not super fancy, but solid.
I played a few more matches, experimenting a bit. I tried different formations to see how he fit in. Sometimes I played him as a lone striker, other times with a partner up front. I noticed he was pretty good at holding up the play, which was helpful for bringing other players into the attack.
- Shooting: His finishing was inconsistent. Sometimes he’d bang them in, other times… not so much. I had to focus to make good shots.
- Passing: It was okay. Nothing special, but he could make a simple pass to keep things moving.
- Physicality: He’s not the strongest guy. Don’t expect him to muscle defenders off the ball constantly.
After playing for a while, I hopped into Career Mode. I wanted to see how he would develop over time. Could he become a world-beater? I started a new career, choosing the team. I made sure to give him plenty of playing time. I tweaked the training to focus on his shooting and his physical stats, hoping to improve his consistency in front of the goal and his strength on the ball.
It took some time, but I started to see some improvements. His finishing got a little better, and he was holding his own against tougher * felt pretty rewarding to see him progress, like I was actually having an impact on his career.
My Final Thoughts
Overall, Gonçalo Ramos in FIFA 23 is a fun player to *’s *’s not perfect, no, but he’s definitely got * that the process I went through, so funny!
