CA & PA ratings

[KV60CAV]

I'm managing Newcastle (my team) and now in the 3rd season but I'm noticing that the CA on players doesn't seem to increase.  NO editor use just stars in game.

Take Lewis Miley as an example.  He's now 19  years old and still only rated 2 star.

1st Season he only made 3 starts but came off the bench 26 times.

2nd season he started 18 games and came off the bench 22 times, he was also voted 2nd best youngster in the world (XGN i think?).

He's attributes haven't massively increased either, i know he's still young but surely he should be increasing?

Having the same problems with Anderson, Livramento etc.

Is this down to it being the Assistant managers opinion?  As mine has 15 player ability and 13 potential.  Should I be looking at an Assistant with higher stats?

What can I do to increase players ratings and attributes?

Stars are based on opinion of your background staff and it's not based only in hidden numbers. Take performance, current squad, league etc. You can read here more.

As what you can do regarding development, from manual:

How can I improve my players’ attributes and ability?

A player’s development is an inexact science but there are plenty of ways you can improve your chances of helping their progress:

- Improved coaching staff

The better the coach, the more impactful their attributes are on improving a player. In general, the better the coaching attribute, the more effective it is on the player’s attribute development.

- Improved training facilities

The standard of training facilities has an impact on determining the chances of a player’s attributes developing, how close to their potential they can get, and how likely they are to continue developing overall. Better facilities encourage a greater chance of a player realising their true potential.. It can also have the knock-on effect of helping the coaching staff develop, too.

- Playing time

A player with greater exposure to meaningful playing time will develop better than someone who isn’t playing quite as often. Playing first-team minutes is more valuable than playing reserve or youth team football, and a young player who stagnates from their teenage years into their 20s without starting to play regular football stands a higher chance of not being able to reach their potential.

- Training

A player develops most through day-to-day training; their overall development is affected by the quality of the facilities and coaches, the teammates they are training with, the appropriateness of the schedules given, whether they train with the first team or any of the club’s sub-teams, and whether they are tasked with additional individual work outside of the team’s sessions. The more of these that are met to as high a standard as possible, the quicker a player develops towards full potential.

- Mentoring

Young players can develop by working closely, during training, with a more experienced teammate or teammates within their squad. Their mental attributes and Player Traits are the only areas affected, and the entire concept is detailed more in the Training section of the manual.
