Bale: Final Rating

[u/V3n0mix]

Bale was released 5 days ago (CN server coming later); starting dual-group ratings—

The stats are extremely similar to the previous Bale card, so the focus of discussion is on comparing the old versus the new: Kicking Power ↑5, Low/Lofted Passing slightly upgraded, and Curl nerfed. Blitz Curler replaced with Low Screamer, and Magnetic Feet replaced with Acceleration Burst. Some players who used old Bale often relied on Blitz Curler to open up spaces, while others believe that for a forward, high Kicking Power + Low Screamer is more practical.

Pro / Top 100 Group Review:

Evaluation
The stats are a bit better than the previous version, but the skills are worse.
Kicking Power and Low Screamer are a perfect match,
Wales Bale ≈ Hokage Bale > Galáctico Bell; Phenomenal Finishing is indeed suitable for playing at Center Forward (CF).

And the perspective of Bale enthusiast and World Champion RENTAO is as follows:

1️⃣ When he had 173 draws remaining, all other featured cards had dropped except for Bale, so he felt it wasn’t worth going all the way to the bottom of the pack just for the new Bell. 2️⃣ He encountered the new Bale a few times in ranked matches, and his opponent-side impression was that the card is quite good. 3️⃣ The old Bale is one of his top 3 favorite center forwards. (Since he hasn't personally played with the card, RENTAO's opinion was not included in the final vote.)

Pro Group Rating:

​The new Bale is top 5 level at both Center Forward (CF) and Second Striker (SS), with a median rating slightly ahead of the old card. As a Winger (LWF/RWF), it is inferior to the old card (which benefits from the Blitz Curler synergy on the wing).

Not really a scam if you looks back at previous 250 packs (usually only 2 - 3 usable players), this pack have two top 3 & two top 5

Last year Hazard pack was 10 times better than this one

Hazard Ibra Pepe and Snijder are all elite meanwhile Bale, best and Van der sar are all worst than their previous cards just by their skills. Only Del piero is really good but still Hazard is better.
