Welcome to the first GG Rating Tuning update breakdown, we’ve now made a number of minor changes to GG Rating in response to changes in the current meta, Title Update #15 and community feedback.
If you’d like to learn more about GG Rating before you dive in, have a read through our GG Rating explainer here.
GG Rating Multipliers
GG Ratings are adjusted throughout the cycle to keep pace with new player releases, and to ensure the best GG Rated players (including Evolutions) don’t exceed 99.9.
The introduction of a 5 PlayStyle+ Kaka, and extremely powerful ShapeShifters items, means the maximum score threshold for every Role has been reduced by approximately 3%.
For example, before this Tuning Update Shapeshifters Icon Kaka had a GG Rating of 98 at RW - Inside Forward, after this Tuning Update his GG Rating is 96.1 at RW - Inside Forward.
Actions
What we call “Actions” are how we weight the importance of Factors (like Strength and PlayStyles for example). These are actions the player might complete on the pitch — such as Shielding the ball, or a Trivela shot. Action changes will impact almost every Role, however, the impact on a Role will vary significantly depending on the Actions importance to that Role. The following changes have been made to Actions based on the current meta, Title Update #15 and community feedback:
On-Ball Sprint
- Increased Rapid/Rapid+ weight over longer distances
- Slightly increased Quick Step/Quick Step+ weight over longer distances
- Increased Quick Step/Quick Step+ weight over shorter distances
- Decreased Rapid/Rapid+ weight over shorter distances
Off-Ball Sprint
- Increased Quick Step/Quick Step+ weight over shorter distances
- Slightly reduced Acceleration and Sprint Speed weight over shorter distances
Short Passing
- Slightly increased the weight of passing attributes vs. PlayStyles
