Chinese Wino Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Just a quick question: Does putting a player as your captain/ Vice cap. cause increases in mental attributes over time, such as influence, teamwork etc.? And, does the age of the player also affect this i.e. will older players improve in this area less than younger ones (or is it the other way round)?

SFraser Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Just a quick question:Does putting a player as your captain/ Vice cap. cause increases in mental attributes over time, such as influence, teamwork etc.? And, does the age of the player also affect this i.e. will older players improve in this area less than younger ones (or is it the other way round)? Younger players improve faster in mental attributes, but older players degenerate in physical attributes that releases CA that can be redistributed into mental attributes wherever they can perform to a high level. Physical attributes have a profound impact on the effectiveness of a player, especially in the recovery of mistakes caused by inferior mental attributes. If your older player can make up for his lack of physical ability through mental capability then on-pitch the situation is fine and in relation to captaincy he is probably a good choice. I have not noticed captaincy itself influencing mental attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinese Wino Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 thanks, I was just thinking that putting the pressure of captaincy on a player would make certain attributes improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFraser Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 thanks,I was just thinking that putting the pressure of captaincy on a player would make certain attributes improve. This is both a logical and interesting suggestion, but I have seen no evidence that it currently exists and it is probably low down on the priority table. However I am not sure as to what attributes would be influenced, as currently motivation is a major factor but attribute influence is not. Do players actually improve in attributes when made Captain or are they just more highly motivated? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likesiamesefish Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 i've definitely seen it, had a goalkeeper's determination and influence both go from low teens to twenty whilst he was my captain, greatly improved his performances too and this was fm07 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinese Wino Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 are you sure it was not simply natural progression, and not as a result of his captaincy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likesiamesefish Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 it was rather extreme but i guess it could be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgee Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I've always thought influence has increase a little quicker in my experience. Could be coincidental though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
