Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into EA FC 24 lately, and one thing I really wanted to check out was Paolo Maldini. You know, the legendary defender. I wanted to see how he plays in the game and if he’s as good as he was in real life. So, here’s what I did.
Getting Started
First things first, I fired up the game. I went straight into Ultimate Team mode because that’s where you can really build your dream squad and, of course, get those Icon players.
Finding Maldini
I knew getting Maldini wasn’t going to be a walk in the park. You have a couple of options. You could try your luck with packs, but honestly, the chances of pulling an Icon, let alone Maldini, are pretty slim. I spent some coins on packs, hoping for a miracle, but no luck there. It was mostly just fodder players.
So, the next, and better option, is the transfer market. I went to the transfer market and searched specifically for “Maldini”. Yep, There he was. But wow, he’s not cheap! His price was fluctuating quite a bit, so I had to be smart about it.
Buying and Saving Coins
I watched the market for a few days. It’s like playing the stock market, seriously. Prices go up and down based on demand. I finally snagged him when his price dipped a bit. I think I saved a decent amount of coins by being patient. I ended up grabbing him. It was a chunk of my coin balance, but hey, it’s Maldini!
Playing with Maldini
Now, the moment of truth. I slotted him into my defense. I paired him up with a faster center-back, just to cover all my bases. And man, let me tell you, he’s a beast! His positioning is insane. He’s always in the right place to intercept passes. And his tackling? Clean. He just wins the ball so smoothly.
- Positioning: 10/10. Seriously, he’s always where he needs to be.
- Tackling: Clean and effective. He doesn’t just poke the ball away; he wins it back.
- Strength: He’s strong. Really strong. Strikers just bounce off him sometimes.
- Pace:He might have a little less than he used to, but this is understandable.
Overall Thoughts
Playing with Maldini in EA FC 24 is a blast. He really does feel like a legendary defender. Even though getting my hands on him took some effort and a lot of coins, I have to say, it was absolutely worth it to have a legend like him anchoring my defense.
