Butters76 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 -10 is something like random between 160-200 -9 is 140-180 and so on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 no, it means the PA will vary from game to game -10 = 170-200 PA -9 = 150-180 PA -8 = 130-160 PA -7 = 110-140 PA etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 0 is completely random, the other minus numbers are random. Once the game starts then they have a potential generated in the range and can't pass it. They only have these at game start, no regens have minus numbers.

arsenal_2111 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 From the GPTG FAQ III. What is a players Current Ability and/or Potential Ability how can it change?Every single player on Football Manager has a Current Ability, also known as CA. This is a number ranging from 1-200, 1 being a very low ability, 200 being the highest. A players current ability changes throughout the game, depending on training, game time, and injuries. A player's current ability can also naturally go up, as a player gets older. A players Current Ability CAN change throughout the game. Every player also has a Potential Ability, commenly known as PA. Player Ability is a number that players are assigned to before the save game starts, and a players potential ability is the same on everyones game. This number also ranges from 1-200. A potential ability of 1 means the player is more than likely to be awful, a potential ability of 200 has the potential to be one of the worlds best. Although most players have set potential abilities, some players have varying potential abilities. These potential abilities are negative potentials. At the start of a new game players with negative potentials are assigned potentials, ranging from one number to another. The different negative abilities and what they mean are shown below: -10 = PA 170-200 -9 = 150-180 -8 = 130-160 -7 = 110-140 -6 = 90-120 -5 = 70-100 -4 = 50-80 -3 = 30-60 -2 = 10-40 -1 = 0-20 A players Potential Ability CAN NOT change throughout the game.

arsenal_2111 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 What, -10? No, it means they have a PA from 170 to 200. Which is very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mista T Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I thought this before I found the forums. Was a bit wierd to get used to, especially as everything below -9 was not in FM07 (or at least i never saw it creating db's) but you just get used to it.

SCIAG Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 i thought that it meant their ability would decline?! anyone know if this is true Of course it isn't. Young players wouldn't be set to go backwards immediately. Old players go back due to age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
