Detail Review
Diving
His diving is decent to good. He can reach shots aimed near the corners if the power isn’t extreme. Side dives feel responsive, especially against normal finesse or low-driven shots. However, against perfectly placed power shots, he sometimes reacts a bit late. Overall, usable but not elite-level diving.
(8.6/10)
Reflexes
+
Reflexes are his strongest point. Close-range saves, rebounds, and sudden shots are handled really well. He reacts fast during chaotic box situations. In 1v1s, his reaction speed helps him block shots quickly. This part of his gameplay feels genuinely strong.
(9.4/10)
Positioning
+
Positioning is solid and reliable. He usually stays well-aligned with the striker and doesn’t over-rush unnecessarily. Covers near-post decently and holds his line smartly. Because of good positioning, he makes saves even without crazy animations. Rarely feels out of place.
(9.1/10)
Handling
Handling is mostly fine but not fully safe. He can catch simple shots cleanly, but stronger shots may cause rebounds. Sometimes spills the ball into dangerous areas, leading to second chances. Not a deal-breaker, but you’ll notice inconsistency in pressure moments.
(8.6/10)
Height
At 191 CM, he isn’t a short keeper, but also not among the tall meta ones. His height is enough to stop normal shots, but far-post power shots beat him often. When attackers place shots perfectly, he struggles to stretch fully. This makes his overall consistency a bit shaky.
(8.9/10)
Traits
+
The long thrower trait is actually very useful. He can quickly launch counter attacks with accurate long throws to wingers or strikers. This helps in fast transitions and catching opponents off guard. A nice bonus trait that adds gameplay value.
(9.6/10)
Final Verdict
Tim Howard offers satisfactory diving with very strong reflexes and decent positioning. Handling is okay but not fully reliable under pressure. His height is decent for an additional advantage to his gameplay. He’s not the most consistent keeper, but he can still pull off clutch saves. For 450 shards, he works well as a temporary upgrade over lower OVR goalkeepers.
