Messi needs a stat boost!

Don't go raging, he's the best footballer ever (better than Maradona and Pele :) ), ok he might have a little bit lesser tactics than Maradona or Pele, but he's sure alot faster, and he's only 23, so he can only become better!
I've seen about a full match, so 90 mins of him + youtube vids (including the Getafe rush) and he's so good, he plays like Maradona, dribbles like him etc.
So i think his stats should go from 90 to about 94 - 96 :)
Who agrees?

Messi is the other Player i'd like to mention. He IS one of the best players in the world and everyone knows it. It's obvious that he should be one of the best in the game aswell, but unfortunately he isn't. He's simply just not good enough. In fact, in the game he's almost useless due to his ridiculously low strength and due to the fact that the centre of gravity plays no role at all in the game. Even though his ball control is around 95 (+/- 2), his touches on the ball just isn't rapid enough. Messi's ball control should be modified seperate to get that special way of dribbling he has brought into the game. He really should respond to every single turn you make with your left-stick imediately in any direction. As it is now he's not superior in any way as he is in real life, he's just one in the crowd. |||Hahahahah.. wait a second.. HAHAhahaHahha
If you practice a little with skill dribbling and so, he should be very useful.|||Yeah and in my opinion Rooney should be 97 because he plays in United. Also Torres needs increase because he is in big club now. And and Suarez should be around 95 because he has orange boots.|||Finishing 91<96
Balance: 86<92
Strength 59<64/ Messi is a little stronger than you think he is, even though he has the body shape of a 3 year old girl
Shot power < 81/2
FKACC: 85
Finesse shot trait|||Not sure whos better, him or C.Ronaldo in real life, but in game, Ronaldo is clearly better. For me anyways.
If messi gets a rating boost, Ronaldo should too.|||You've watched about 50-100(mind the gap... :)) of him and you conclude that he is the greatest player of all time? Try watching a full came when he is playing against opposition with a real defense, watching him rip * la liga team does not make him the greatest player of alltime...|||he needs to be at LEAST 92|||He's a great player for people who know how to dribble... You shouldn't complain because he can't just run past everyone and score, if you aren't good at dribbling don't have him in your team. OR was better, so was Pele and Maradona, it's all hype. Best player ever would have won the world cup with the team Argentina had.|||Tottaly agree:
Real Life: Messi>>>C. Ronaldo
Fifa: C.Ronaldo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Messi|||I totally agree with ProN00b69, his finishing should be the highest in the game. And the balance-stats is way too low for him, nothing can get the best player down! =) UP MESSI!|||

i've seen him playing against Arsenal, he didn't show all he's got, but when he got hold of the ball in a good position, nothing can stop him!|||

get out if you dont have anything better to do in your life!|||

Maybe I will. :)|||I agree here, Messi gets pushed off the ball too much but when you watch an actual match of him he can easily hold is own, and most of the time just leaves defenders for dead. But in fifa defenders easily catch him and get the ball too easy :/|||

He has the speedster trait, yet when he has a 5 yard head start, somehow Pepe uses some magic power and sucks him with a special vortex, and then bam, messi's dispossed :)
