Ronaldinho Comes to FIFA 23
Ronaldinho is coming to FIFA 23 as a free player in Ultimate Team mode, bringing joy and flair to the football game in a way that mirrors the real-life player’s reputation. A beloved figure in football, the Brazilian’s unique skills and style have been celebrated in real life and in FIFA games, and many players have long desired the opportunity to have him in their Ultimate Team. Now, thanks to FIFA 23, players can finally experience the magic of Ronaldinho firsthand.
A Fitting Tribute
The former Barcelona and Milan star has appeared in previous editions of FIFA as a paid player, but his presence in the current game marks a special occasion — Ronaldinho’s skills and style are so beloved that his presence in the game is a fitting tribute to his impact on the game, as well as his reputation for playing with flair and fun.
How to Obtain Ronaldinho
To obtain Ronaldinho, players must complete a Squad Building Challenge (SBC) consisting of 33 squads, rated between 88 and 92. The SBC initially appears daunting — a player would have to complete 33 consecutive SBCs, each requiring a large number of rare or high-rated players. But EA also recently released an SBC that rewards players with ten high-rated players (84+) to help complete the challenge.
Fortunately, the repeatable SBC has a high pack rating and can be completed quickly because there are so many Team of the Season cards currently in packs. Many players have already taken advantage of this opportunity, not only obtaining Ronaldinho but also completing other high-rated SBCs.
A Lucrative Opportunity
With Ronaldinho’s card value already high on the trading market, the Brazilian’s presence in the game is a lucrative opportunity for players. But for many fans, the time commitment is worth it because of the joy of having one of the game’s greatest players in their lineup. And at no cost, it’s a luxury many couldn’t afford until now.
A Real-Life Experience
Whether you are lucky enough to complete the SBC or not, you can still use Ronaldinho in your lineup, and it feels like real life. The Brazilian’s gameplay mirrors his real-life style, and in FIFA 23, it feels like real life — like you’re playing against the best of the best, and Ronaldinho is one of them.
A Celebration of Football Legends
The inclusion of Ronaldinho adds to the long legacy of FIFA and the joy it brings to players. FIFA’s decision to give players Ronaldinho for free has generated excitement and appreciation from fans — and for good reason. FIFA’s legacy is a long one, and Ronaldinho is just one of many football legends that the game has had the privilege of celebrating. And, of course, it’s also a wonderful joy to play.
