Creating Andres Iniesta in FM 2024 (Official Preferred Moves Question to SI)

[baskor]

I would like to create Andres Iniesta in FM 2013 into FM 2024.

The Iniesta's preferred moves in FM 2013 (13.3.0 update) are:

* Plays Short Simple Passes

* Tries Killer Balls Often

* Dictates Tempo

 

The Iniesta's preferred moves in FM 2024 are:

* Tries Killer Balls Often

* Looks For Pass Rather Than Attempting To Score

* Dictates Tempo

* Likes To Switch Ball To Wide Areas

* Likes Ball Played Into Feet

 

Since the preferred moves in FM 2006 brought back into FM 2024, the question is, what is additional of Iniesta's preferred moves in FM 2024 so that it same as possible as Iniesta in FM 2013 13.3.0 update? Please SI, I need your help.

Thanks

You can do this on the pre game editor. It will take 2 minutes.

I don't understand your question.
You seem to, from what I am reading, wanting Iniesta's preferred moves to be like 2013. But you already have these?

So, it seems like its something else that you want, that we're not understanding.
Also, why do you mention FM2006?

I would like to create Iniesta in FM 2024 with attribute similar in FM 2013 update 13.3.0.

Since the preferred moves in FM 2006 brought back into FM 2024, the question is, what is additional of Iniesta's preferred moves in FM 2024 so that it same as possible as Iniesta in FM 2013 13.3.0 update?

Because the preferred moves in FM 2006 are brought back in FM 2024.

[Lord Rowell]

Are you asking what WE THINK the preferred moves should be, as a player, Iniesta, in 2013? Rather than just relying on what FM13 says?

I've read this through a few times and the more I do the more confused I am.  I'm sure the question is quite simple but something is being lost in translation here.

"the preferred moves in FM 2006 are brought back in FM 2024."

Preferred moves never went away did they?

Some of the preferred moves in FM 2006 are not available in FM 2010-FM 2017.

Yes. For example, if I create Iniesta in FM 2013 into FM 2024 using database editor, what the preffered moves would be beside Plays Short Simple Passes, Tries Killer Balls Often, and Dictates Tempo?

Are you asking what Iniesta's preferred moves were in FM2006, so you can see if any preferred moves of his were removed from the game in subsequent years, so you can add those back on to him?

If so, unless someone still has a working copy of FM2006 that they can check on for you, it's unlikely you'll get an answer. At which point it becomes a question of your own preference - do you want Iniesta to have less preferred moves but know that they were active in 2013's game (so as close to accurate as possible), or do you want to add in the later preferred moves, even if those 'traits' might not have been regarded as being traits of his at that time. 

For what it's worth, looking at the editor for FM19 - Looks For Pass Rather Than Attempting To Score existed in FM19 (so i suspect existed in 13 too) - so that's a more recent addition. Likes To Switch Ball To Wide Areas , presuming this is the same as likes to switch ball to other flank also existed in FM19.

Only likes ball played into feet didn't seem to exist in FM19 - so out of those 3, the only one that might (and that's a big might) have been in FM2006 - would be this one.

OK so you are asking opinions here.
I can give you mine but its not worth much. I'd certainly have "likes ball played into feet" as he was known as a player who liked to take the ball in tight spaces, similar to  David Silva.
But its best otherwise to do your own research perhaps?
I don't think SI can help you - at the end of the day even if a mod / staff did reply,  it would just be their own opinion rather than a factual answer and for understandable reasons, they probably won't want to get involved with that as they need to stay neutral.

@baskor I'm just writing re. the part of the text I emboldened. If you are looking for FM2006 preferred moves for Iniesta and don't have a working copy, you could find a retro database on an external FM site from that time, plenty of them around. I can't post a link though as forum rules are we're not allowed to link to external sites.

So, if I recreate Iniesta from FM 2013 (update 13.3.0) into FM 2024, the additional preferred moves would be "likes ball played into feet"?

[Marko1989]

I am surprised he never had "Run with the ball through the center"

[baskor]

These are the FM 2006 preferred moves and FM 2013 preferred moves.

I'd use the FM 24 preferred moves, I think they are a closer to replicating Iniesta in the game.  

I'd also add:

Moves Into Channels

Plays One-Twos

Places Shot

 

If you are trying to replicate 2013 FM Iniesta, remember he often played as a narrow left wing/advanced playmaker role.

If you are making him natural or accomplished at AML I'd also add:

Cuts in from the Left

 

As @Marko1989 said, run with ball through centre, or runs with ball often is possible too.  I think his high flair would probably be sufficient to have him dribbling often, but hey, its YOUR game, have fun with it!

There's something very satisfying about the font and the UI from the 06/07 years.
