Chocolatier Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 if a young player has a CA of 115 & a PA of 170 then thats what he will peak at. but what about old players? for instance, robbie fowler has a CA of 115 & a PA of 170. im taking it that he will never achieve a PA of 170 because he already has. what stat on the editor decides this apart from a players age?

jod123 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Mainly age. Just because a player has a PA of 170 does not mean they will reach it. It depends on the amount of match time they get, injuries, training and things like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
大▼ßж Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The whole CA and PA has always baffled me I do understand it now but surely there must be a simpler layout for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_1967 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Mainly age. Just because a player has a PA of 170 does not mean they will reach it. It depends on the amount of match time they get, injuries, training and things like that. I guess this ties in with physical attributes as well. The better a players physical attributes the slower he will decline and the longer he will stay closer to his PA. Natural fitness would be the major factor here.

alexw Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Celtic 1967, poster of the quarter? what? anyway, I'm not so sure what impact physical attributes have on CA/PA. You could be great on the ball, but have no stamina or speed. See Tonka in Mike Bassett England Manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolatier Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 its not only this that concerns me. if a player with pretty good viewable stats (say a striker with finishing of 18+) has an extremely lower CA & PA than a striker with rubbish stats (say about 8 for finishing as a striker), which would be the way to go?

jod123 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Get the striker with the better finishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolatier Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 what if your scout says the other is better? all im trying to establish is, is CA/PA better than stats? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Stats are more important. If you have a player with rubbish stats all over then they will have a low CA as they are linked. However if you have striker for example with a very high CA and low finishing and another striker with lower CA and very good finishing the 2nd one is better. Stats are more important.

The_Kreman Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 seyfo soley is a DC/DM in the game that has really good stats and starts on a free, but no one in the premier league ever picks him up. He always ends up going to a Championship club, probably because is CA/PA are too low for a prem team to be interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kreman Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 CA=Current Ability PA=Potential Ability Hidden stats in the game that determine how good a player is and how good he has the potential to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 What is CA?What is PA? Current Ability - gives a rough idea of how good a player currently is. Potential ability - how good a player could possibly be. Most of the time, players don't manage to reach their maximum PA. CA & PA are measured on a scale of 0-200. You need a 3rd party program such as Genie Scout to view CA & PA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 is CA/PA better than stats? Have a look at this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper99 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Considering you shouldn't actually know what a players CA and PA are you should always base your decisions on a combination of attributes, performance and your scouts comments.

RT-- Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The most important thing to remember is that the match engine ONLY uses attributes (including a couple of the hidden ones), and not CA or PA. So if you feel like a player's got the sort of attributes that will make him suited to the role he's playing in your tactics, don't worry too much what your coaches or scouts say. Unfortunately, the AI (other managers and your own team's assistant/coaches/scouts) still rely heavily on CA and PA to judge players - probably because it's much easier to programme it that way than having them consider all the players' individual attributes and how they'd fit in to their/your tactics.
