The Ronaldo Effect

this is a phenomenon known to all FIFA 18 players of the world. When playing online on any format (PS4, Xbox, PC), the team playing against Real Madrid seems to have nothing go in their favor. Specifically whenever Ronaldo is near the ball or when he has it. Being the highest rated player in the game, his effect seems to trigger some scripted FIFA 18 response in the opposing team's goalkeeper to have delayed reaction times. This scripting can also be seen when successful tackles render themselves to actually be unsuccessful as Ronaldo receives a deflection that goes perfectly into his path towards goal. Ronaldo also will win nearly every header that he is contesting due to this effect.

The effect itself has many negative health consequences especially for those who are experiencing it on the receiving end. Symptoms include excessive tilting, rage quitting, and sometimes, damage to the console, ones own body, or innocent by-standers around them. According to a recent study, prolonged exposure to the Ronaldo effect actually can lead to a series of mental illnesses. Among these illnesses are CR7 Fanboy disease, Excessive diving syndrome, and Madrid Online Autoselection disorder. Please see a doctor if you see experience the Ronaldo effect in extended periods of time.
