Nesta: Top 5 or Top 10 CB?
The Lazio version of Nesta has been out for five days (coming to the Chinese server soon); time for the dual-group rating session.
After using him for these past five days, I can definitely feel that Nesta’s AI-controlled positioning is very smart. When paired with the 'No-Cursor Method' I mentioned before (This refers to a defensive technique where the player avoids manually switching the cursor to a defender, letting the AI handle the positioning and tackling instead), it really brings out the true strength of the 'Destroyer' playstyle AI—
Of course, it must be pointed out that this new Nesta isn't a massive upgrade over the Milan version (the 'short legs' issue persists), so it’s not exactly a 'metamorphosis.' Given that the Milan Nesta has been out for a while, this rating session is actually a 're-evaluation' of Nesta's overall value. Professional Group opinions—
