Aymeric Laporte Edits His FIFA 21 Card After Being Furious With Pace Attribute

Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte is so unhappy with his pace rating on FIFA 21 that he's decided to change it himself.

The former Athletic Bilbao defender is among the best defenders on the game after being given an 87 rating but as soon as he saw his card, Laporte vented to EA Sports on Twitter about only having 63 pace and an interaction ensued as a result.

A month on and having received his card in person, Laporte is still not having the disservice and has decided to bump up his pace to 83.

Using a pen and paper, he's not-so-discreetly written over it - tagging EA in the video he posted on social media.

There's been no reply from them yet, but of course the action Laporte is demanding from EA is for them to amend one particular attribute.

The 26-year-old is one of many players to have complained about their ratings - with one of the most notable being Romelu Lukaku.

Commenting on EA's decision to give him 81 pace, he wrote on Twitter: "81 pace bruh did they see my goal against Shakhtar Donetsk...the f*** is wrong with them..."

What's more, he also accused EA of making strange calls in regards to ratings for marketing reasons to generate conversation.
