He’s so right about the speed thing though. There’s definitely ppl in lower leagues who r faster than ppl in higher leagues but won’t get as good physical stats because of their leagues.

[@nathanbordeau2782]

That American flag scene was hilarious.

[@rq7284]

I worked for EA doing ratings and yeah, over there the physical stats are allowed to be high for lower league players while the technical/mental stats are capped. eFootball and PES ratings have always been kinda bad

[@iam_legend9168]

the ratings bad cause in this game you are suppose to train players

You're already in a video game though...You've been in Football Manager since FM 2019 .... You should check out your stats there and check the game itself. Their ratings are more accurate than Pro Evo and FIFA because of the nature of their simulation.

[@xntr1c29]

This would be a fun vid too

[@repliedfob4165]

Also fm has a lot more mental attributes which I think Sheldon excels at. That’s simply not taken into account in this game

You need the right connections and drugs to make it at the very top. The top players are groomed from birth due to their bloodline.

Good Idea for a video Matt! Love this!

[@twhiteofrd_1102]

Really enjoyed the video especially the bit at the end talking about comparisons across leagues

[@akilhussain3272]

No way matt! very proud of you mate. been following your journey for a long time, and to see this as but small well needed achievement for you, its definitely a step up! i feel so happy for you, and thank you for continuing to share your journey to help and give advice to me and others who are thirsty to go pro!

[@repliedfob4165]

Loved the video Mat! You should do your ratings in Football Manager! FM has a lot of mental traits which go unnoticed in games like FIFA and PES. Also I would say your a defensive minded fullback, solid at the back but can provide options forward if needed.

[@abdulwahidalhassani5129]

Spot on.

[@HarryBalzacc]

Hey Matt, great video! You should do a video of yourself breaking down clips of other fullbacks you look up to and what makes them so elite. And then compare them to you. Thanks!

[@amandabenger]

Congratulations! You are humble and seem like a really nice guy. I’m happy for you on reaching this milestone.

[@ghettosupastar7226]

Congrats on making it to the video game ! Definitely agree that the gap on the physical attributes score is not as big in real life vs video game when comparing top league players vs lower league

Yo Matt, appreciate your game by game analysis and also your even critique of your skills in this video. Keep progressing bro. 👏🏿💪🏿

Hey Matt, if your ever in Chicago I would love to meet and train with you. You have helped me so much so far and I want to learn more.

So dope! Congrats dude! Subbed!

[@michaelspadaccini1415]

Hey, Matt. Pretty sweet to check being in a video game off your sports list. My family was actually in Charleston this weekend for my 8 y/o son’s baseball tournament and stayed right near the stadium. My son loves your channel and uses a number of the drills you’ve shown so he was bummed we couldn’t make it to your game on Friday. He was really excited though when he was able to take a picture with your banner/picture on the street lamppost outside the stadium. Cross that off his sports list. Good luck the rest of the season. It’s been fun watching your new/expanded role.

[@wotnot4646]

Unlocked a real life achievement, congratulations!

[@bryangutierrez5963]

Beyond proud of you bro🖤🎉

[@darkclipx5802]

Congratulations mat

[@nijafran]

Man CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

[@zurick27]

Its hard to balance video games, physical stats are too overpowered thats why its not high for lower league players.

[@SaintRampalSpiritualLeader]

they should use real stats and just translate those to the point scale, for example lets say the speed of players ranges from 40km/h to 20km/h just make this 99-0 and basically each km/h irl = 5 points in game, and do the same for other stats like % of shot accuracy and compare this to average and have a normal distribution type of thing

[@agarwal38]

Absolutely agreed that the physical traits are exaggerated when really what separates players at your level is mental, processing speed, and maybe finer elements of technique. Physical traits make a player feeeeel much better in a video game though, compared to mental where half the time I'm controlling the player meaning it's whatever my mental is

[@meanmachine6173]

Exactly, after all mental abilities like tactical understanding, vision, etc all depends on the player controlling the game.

[@chickyblack5385]

As a foreigner, I must say the US joke with the anthem was hilarious😂. Good video and congrats for being on the video game, it must be cool to think about your teenage years and be able to tell yourself that you appeared on a videogame that is played world wide.

Matt please do a video on how to get the email of clubs or scouts and agents to contact them for trials and by the way you are doing a great job keep it up, thanks.

[@davidlukic1205]

I have been watching your channel since you used to play in Germany. I play right wingback and I wear #13. My high school career ended yesterday and I was able to leave with a state championship.

[@csg2165]

Matt, with reference to speed and compare to Alonso. Could be different style of playing at premier level to USL. Thinking if he was in USL he would have to move more quickly based on North American play . Just a thought.

[@brycesabin4787]

I think one of the problems with the rating is that your best stats can't really show unless you also play with the best. USL is very good, but playing with the big names in Premier League, La Liga, etc. really boost stats even if you are comparable in some areas to USL players.

[@ArJayDM]

You have a good point about them over rating the physical attributes. These guys are all men that have been training since boys. They're definitely on an equal playing field in terms of physical attributes regardless of what tier or region they play in. It's like anyone in a top flight league can beat up, out run, out jump anyone from a lower tier; which just isn't true lmao

[@CodPatrol]

They overrate other things too

[@Anquilis]

when they announced they would be adding the USL my first thought was looking at your player stats

[@madridismoduro]

You rock

[@dinnae]

Yeah I agree that they exaggerate the differences with the top leagues and teams. Whenever I try to play with any of the Championship teams in PES, it's like they've never seen a football in their entire lives

[@notthesamecc1927]

I wonder how you rated against your league peers? that might say something a bit, if the league range is similar to yours- might give a better picture than being lumped in against premier and champions league. mls in theory should be not too far off.

[@cheesecircle3033]

You should probably do a vid on your football manager stats they are much more realistic

Yes, anything above 32km is pretty good.

[@anindobose9012]

I own his card haha and i also maxed him at 85 rated (88-89 with a manager)(which is pretty good i think) players that start out low can be trained a lot more than better standard cards So 85 max i think is fair when standard Alexander-arnold is 93 max

[@d-s4869]

So true Matt would be way faster than people Like Arnold yet he would get higher stats
