Ok I read that study that says that Determination has zero impact on development and while it seems to check out, the guy also reaches a conclusion that Acceleration has a negative impact on development and that sounds like a whole lot of bunk to me. Would love to see his stats analysed by player position as well because his hypothesis that accel and heading factor into it due to defenders reaching higher PAs (I guess because they have a later peak) seems to check out. I love these analyses though because you're going in entirely blind trying to make conclusions on stats based on assumptions about all the other stats in the game and it owns

If you read a bit more of the thread on that one, they come to the conclusion that the acceleration thing is because the game weights acceleration very highly for CA/PA purposes, so youth players with high acceleration have less PA points to spend increasing other skills. Once you control for that, apparently acceleration's effect diminishes greatly.

Makes sense, and also explains why I've got so many slow as poo poo technical wizards and alternatively, walcotts, in my youth squads. I couldn't read all of that Ajax thread though, that guy must really fucken love Ajax

Attribute weighting is really confusing. Having played with the editor a bunch for my mod, I've found that training a centreback to be a competent DM usually lowers the amount of CA used for the same stats. Conversely if I train Gylfi to be any better at Striker (like one point better), it immediately eats up all his remaining PA and he starts dropping attributes like crazy. very annoying for my cool new system.

It's better than it used to be, before like '09 I think, you could train a DC to to be a ST and all their attributes would boost off the charts. It was the only way to get a player with all 20's iirc

Then they freaked out and overcompensated and in the next version if you tried to do this trick again then all the player's attributes would drop like a rock.

Playing in the Capital One Cup managed to easily beat Walsall , Sunderland , Stoke and Man U and then lost to Newcastle in the semi final. All because one of my players said gently caress it and got a red card a minute into the game. I didn't even care about winning it but now I'm mad I didn't

I just had my rear end man tell me that my 19yo centerback was looking tired from playing loads of games and should be rested, so I told the player that I'd rest him for a week, and he was stoked about the idea. Two days later, without there even being a u21s game scheduled let alone a competitive fixture, he's mad at me for breaking my promise and playing him when I said I'd rest him. What the hell

My second time through post injury crisis bullshit... So I won the MLS cup my first year as NYCFC and it was great for everyone ,but the whiny baby David Villa who threw a shitfit his first day in so he got sold to some crappy La Liga team that was relegated the next season (gently caress YOU DAVID VILLA) ,but it was okay because I drafted some hilariously awesome Brazilian striker nicknamed Hulk (dumb so I re-nicknamed him Barbarossa why I dunno), in the super draft who has the potential to be an EPL starter one day. Instead I replaced Villa as a DP with Mix Diskerud and it resulted in a hilariously badass midfield that destroyed the MLS. I also signed some youth L/WB from Bayern Munich as a young DP and a few U21 Man City kids to round things out. Oh I also somehow got Lee Ngyuen from New England for 300K and a pair of draft picks (awesome), anyway here was my lineup, if you know anything about the MLS it is hilariously stacked, the expansion draft is to easy to pickup literally star MLS players. F: Patrick Mullins, Barbarossa (Awesome Regen), Cam Weaver, (Other lovely regen),Kelechi Iheanacho (Loan from Man city, paid as a reserve player lol) MF: Frank Lampard, Mix Diskerud, Diego Chara, Lee Ngyuen, Marco Pappa, Dax MCarty, Kyle Bekker, Lamar Neagle, Martin Rivero D: Yill Sahill( Bayern Munich), Simen Wangberg (Norway Tromso), Bobby Boswell, Ike Opara, Sheanon Williams, Manuel De La Torre, Steve Birnbaum, James Riley, Ashley Smith Brown (Loan man city, always ends up in MLS in FM2014 as a star Wingback around 2018 or so) GK: Zac McMath, Josh Saunders, (Random Regen Scrub) Jack2142 fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Dec 13, 2014 |

'Off the Ball' is now 'Movement' in the editor after the last patch. Weird that they changed it considering Leadership is still there and they only just moved Vision from where Creativity was.

Yeah honestly my scouts saw him, he looked decent albiet a little slow and then his name sold me... also the fact he only asked for 90k a year and 1/2 later now he is my best centerback...

I sold a couple of squad players in January to thin out the squad in order to stop everyone complaining about playing time, and now I've got myself an injury crisis and 3 of my back 4 are under 20, and had to hand debuts to a New Zealander CB and a 20yo striker away to Liverpool. Still managed a 4-2 win  Not looking forward to playing Liverpool 3 times, Chelsea and Man Utd over the next month with 8 first teamers out injured though ffs

Yeah that's what drew me to him. I think he could be some kind of deep lying playmaker but with low anticipation, positioning and it's touch I think he might lose the ball a lot

He's got years to develop those, I'd do positioning first. He's gonna have 20 Decisions at such a young age. 11 Positioning and I'd let him play in the premiership.

For another alternative, train him to be an Enganche. Then you don't even have to worry about Positioning, Pace, or Dribbling, and can focus on other attributes. Or use him in the middle as an AP.

Won the Supporters Shield & MLS Cup for the second year as NYCFC to bad I lost Lampard and three of my good players at the end of the season... but I replaced them with some great Man City U21's on loan for two years. Apparently there is another Dominic Oduro who is 10x better than the original MLS one, Bruno Zuculini, and Ante Couric (Croatian Wonderkid). Then a pair of other decent 2.5 star guys as backups. I am sad I lost Barbosa motherfucker got 30 goals in his second MLS season, after I switched to a weird demented 2CD-2WB-1DM-2M-1AM-2F my other forward was a midget named Joao Plata who I traded like 150k for and played as a poacher and he managed to net another 15-18 goals (yay)! At least Barbosa has replaced Jozy Altidore in the USMNT and is now going to La Liga ... I also lost Lee Ngyeun to France, Lampard to fuckoff oldsville (and apparently Vancouver) , Chara to crippling injury and a release, Ylli Sahill to Serie A and probably a few others I dont remember.

He's actually got a PA of 175, while Charlie Perry has a PA of 198. No idea what their CAs are though and I don't really want to find out but I'm sure I'll end up accidentally looking, I knew Perry's because I accidentally found the hidden stats filter in the player search when I was messing around with the official RTE lol

I just picked up FM15, and I'm having a problem with the interface. Every time the game starts, it seems to think that the buttons aren't where they're shown to be on the screen. At 1440x900, you have to click above the actual button; at lower resolutions the buttons are below what's shown. Going to settings and changing the resolution, then changing it back seems to work, or switching from windowed to fullscreen and back, but it happens every time the game starts up. I haven't found any reports of this happening elsewhere, so I was wondering if anyone knew what this was about. Gonna have to go reinstall now (for the second time) because I tried starting the game in a lower resolution to see if it would work, and I'm just unable to use any of the buttons on the opening screen.

That may or may not have something to do with the game-destroying patch they just issued last week. You might check the SI Den of Hopeless Agony and Technical Support.
