Ronaldinho is one of the greatest of all-time, there's no doubt about it.
He was capable of doing things with a football that has never been seen before and produced so many moments of wizardry in his career - from catching out David Seaman, to single-handedly ruining Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and earning a standing ovation in the process.
He was also heavily marketed and endorsed by Nike and through his success on the pitch, ended up being the cover star of several games in the EA Sports FIFA franchise.
R10 was featured on the front cover of FIFA 04, FIFA 06, FIFA 07, FIFA 08 and FIFA 09 but has not even been featured in the game in the last two versions.
He was last included in the game in FIFA 15 and though EA have the capacity to have him in the game as part of the Classic XI team or as a legends card on FIFA Ultimate Team, it's not happened and fans have been unable to destroy defenders using Ronaldinho on the game.
However, the whizkids at Moddingway, who specialise in modifications and patches, have managed to create the 2005 Ballon d'Or winner and it's fair to say that they've got it spot on.
They appeared to use some coding hacks (it's all about technical) to do it.
Their description read:
"We have been able to add Ronaldinho to Classic XI. As well as we did with Robinho, it was a complex process heaxediting squad files. We have enabled his real face hidden in the game. We`ll let you know when we will be able to release an update."
A creation centre is used in a whole host of games, for instance clever clogs can create their favourite wrestlers on WWE 2K17 and get them down to a tee, but it's much more difficult for the average Joe to do it on FIFA 17.
Many have created Ronaldinho in the past and informed others , but only Moddingway have well and truly mastered it by inserting his game-face and signature headband along with giving him the adequate technical skills that we've been accustomed to seeing over the years.
Here is a clip of Ronaldinho doing bits in FIFA 17:
Have you ever managed to create any players who weren't initially in the game? Let us know in the comments.
EA Sports better make sure he's in the game properly next year!
