Lot of graphical bugs since the update. Missing bars on the match stats screen, goal disallowed cause the opposition keeper was offside...

fixing the goalkeepers for MLS is great since the league has a comparatively really good goal keepers to actual starting positions so every team is signing and moving goalkeepers like crazy.

I had an Argentine/Spanish regen Sergio Osia I'd just bought from Boca who is now called Julian Rodriguez lol I almost had the same 60-yard goal again last night but the ball fell to Routledge who put it nearer the corner flag than the old onion bag. Gylfi would've buried it. Playing a possession 4-4-2 with Target Man, beat Arsenal 1-0 at the Emirates with a Gylfi free-kick, and beat Newcastle 2-1 with a 93rd minute winner after going behind in the first 10, 70% possession, Ashley Williams sent off in the 60th and playing the rest of the game defensive & time wasting like mad. Bony had 8 shots, 5 on target and 0 goals. Got mad when I criticized him after the game.

I've noticed that if a striker has had a number of shots without scoring in the first half, criticising their finishing at half time can get them to kick on in the second half and grab a goal or at least play a whole lot better e. also sassassin has edited Bony's stats to be better than Messi

gently caress, that's two. Just lost Gil Dias and John Souttar. Replaced Dias with Ryan Gauld and hopefully my wee youngster defender can step in for Souttar but I'm greatly annoyed. Always double check your contracts.

He had 8 shots, 5 on target, in good areas. Including one double chance where he banged it into Krul twice in a row from 5 yards. This wasn't a random potshot at the lad. His finishing wasn't up to par*. Having a go at players for specific things is cool and good, even if it's a bit wonky with its logic some times. Bony received a slight downgrade in my extremely professional attribute review. 17 agility was ridiculous. I did give him that 'Plays with back to goal' PPM but I'm not sure how good that is in the match engine. *I've heard that all the Finishing attribute actually does is put shots on target. Beating the keeper is based on anticipation and decisions. But asking for clarification on the official forums is considered out of line and like asking for cheat codes. sassassin fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Dec 12, 2014 |

Plays with back to goal sucks imo but I like strikers who run beyond the defence. Pretty much every attribute plays in to everything, but goalscoring is finishing (knowing where the goal is), decisions (what shot to take) and technique (how many different shots the player can pull off) iirc. Obviously composure, anticipation, off the ball, determination etc all play a part too

And yet it's incredibly vague and the game, manual, and unaffiliated guideto sites all provide contradictory information. It's a deliberate design choice. A loving stupid one.

Fifa's player attribute system is unironically better. I'm not sure how knowing the actual difference between determination, aggression and workrate somehow destroys the illusion of this game simulating football (pro-tip: determination is the worst one).

*passionately* actually, determination is the best one *squad morale plummets* *aggressively* that's exactly the reaction I was after E. Does fifa actually have the same amount of attributes? Like can you just create a player from one in the other?

Brendan Rodgers posted:Somewhere out there an AMC with high determination is shedding a tear. People obsess about Determination because it's the easiest one to raise. They want to feel like they've accomplished something important when they get the whole first team squad to 15+. There's no reason not to do that, since it's so easy and doesn't use any player CA. But I'm not binning a Determination 10 player who's too old for tutoring. I'll just try not to go two goals down when he's on the field.

Determination effects almost everything though. I'm more forgiving of low work rate and natural fitness, not by much though.

Based on playing the game I'd say that if it effects 'almost everything' it does so only slightly, and not harshly. I don't buy for a second that it's some major primary stat like Decisions that controls every action a player takes. I've seen no evidence of that at all. If it was that important it would be worth CA points. My pet theory is it's purely an on-field motivational attribute and with the right captain and team talks it's entirely redundant. I love Natural Fitness. Anything that lowers injury risk and recovery is top tier for me.

It helps shoot, tackle, it makes your players step up in important situations instead of being anonymous, and it helps your players develop stats on the training pitch etc. The right player can do fine with weaknesses but it is a weakness.

Isn't the idea mostly that high determination tends to come along with hidden attributes that actually do influence development (Professionalism, etc.) so the attribute is more useful as a signal than as an actual attribute? (also, speaking of development, what's the difference in the CA/PA star ratings between, say, "three stars, fourth star is black" and "three stars, fourth star is grey"?)

What about when you're playing a low league and you have those guys with high determination or work rate, and they do really well. The determination guys will shoot and tackle much better than the other stats imply. Determined to win the ball back or score.

When everyone's bad at football but some players have high determination and others low, yes the former will probably perform better than the latter. Are you worried that a low determination player is going to get the ball in front of goal and decide he can't be bothered to score?
