FC 25 96 Flashback Neuer Player Review - Hit or Miss

We are on the verge of the upcoming FC25 game promo and looking back at Shapeshifters, today we revisit Manuel Neuer's Shapeshifter card from FIFA 23! A Shapeshifter Neuer card has been released as an SBC item, reminiscing his striker card from FIFA 23.

It's Neuer's first special card since the FC rebrand, boasting impressive stats like 95 pace, 96 shooting, 90 passing, 94 dribbling, and 96 physicals with a +10 boost. Equipped with 4 playstyle pluses - Pinged Pass, Rapid, Aerial, and Low Driven.

This Neuer card can also play at CAM and CM positions, but let's focus on his role as a Striker. The versatility in Playstyles caters to various positions but might not blend perfectly.

Hawk Chemstyle maximizes his Pace, Shooting, and Physical stats, making him a potent threat in the attack.

To unlock the Flashback Neuer SBC, four segments need completion, each with specific requirements like player nationality, squad ratings, and player counts.

The SBC cost seems reasonable, but concerns arise due to existing Striker options and absence of special chem boosts on this Flashback item, unlike Shapeshifter cards. The lack of 5*/5* weak foot and skill moves affects the appeal of this SBC.

In-game performance highlights include exceptional shooting, impressive pace aided by Rapid+, and strong physicality dominating defenders. However, dribbling felt somewhat clunky at times.

Despite being a cost-effective SBC at 200k, the unconventional Playstyle Pluses for a striker, alongside common abilities like Low Driven, raise doubts. With Futties approaching, the card may lack the wow factor needed at this stage of the game, resulting in a potential miss.

While hopes were high for Neuer's card, the underwhelming impact on the field leans towards skipping this SBC to save resources.

Verdict: MISS
