Wide players will also smash it into the defender right beside them over any other option, and if they get into the box with no opponent near them and all they need to do is square to a teammate, they will pass it backwards out of the box or dribble to the corner post and shoot at said corner post. Whose a betting man? I have real money that says these things will still happen. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not but they do have vastly more superior stats which are, imo, far more valuable than if they can quantify that TAA has like 17 crossing. I would love an option to remove attributes but that stats are searchable for all seasons a player has played. So that we can search for example something like this " average xG from last 3 seasons > more than 0.6/90". And not just finishing, off the ball whatever > 14. But for that, FM would have to add many many maaaany more stats. Like progressive passes, sideways passes, through balls etc. Edited October 28, 2020 by rosque 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

azymin Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Pretty excited about some of these improvements. Pretty disappointed about some other items missing (looking at you international management). I think that more than any of the previous 8 or so versions that I've played, this one is most like an expansion or a patch. I really hope I'm wrong and that coming reveals show for example that you can no longer gegenpress for 90 minutes straight. There could still be reveals that make this version worthy of a full price, but as of right now I don't feel that it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If training was good enough/interesting enough, to actually have human players watch it, I reckon it could be quite fun basing line ups off that and match performance rather than attributes. Sure the LMA games used to have a section where you could set your strikers to have a session finishing and you could watch it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodau Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 FM 2021 will be a great beta game with a lot of cosmetic features to test the reaction to it.

Nahuelzn Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I'm currently playing with hidden attributes thanks to a skin I've found (I only know 4 tiers. For example, between 1 and 7 I see a red square, 8-10 yellow, 11-14 green and 15-20 a stronger green). It's really interesting and nice. You have to rely on your instincts and scouts reports. I have some players which aren't that good in the sheet, but they perform on the field and they just stay as starters even if I have "better" players on the bench. Hope FM includes this as an option in FM21, but if not, I'll just try to reuse this skin or learn how to move it to the new edition. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them removing attributes. There was an old football management game in the mid 1980's called "Soccer Supremo" on the BBC Micro. It didn't have attributes at all (at least not visible) but instead had a booklet with descriptions of your starting squad and potential transfers hinting at strengths and weaknesses. It made for an immersive experience at least on the first play through but I suspect the game still had player ratings under the hood. But it was an interesting change to the genre even at that early stage. Of course in that game you had a squad of about 18 players and potential transfers of around 60 players in total!

Yea the reports are detailed enough for this to be an OPTION in the game. I personally don’t want to second guess starting a player with 16 finishing over the 17 finishing guy even though the 16 finishing guy is doing great but just because the 17 finishing is a bit better. Same with condition. It became a formula to not start a player with a certain number but what is really the difference between 75% and 77%? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
