Gedgie Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 When I first signed players many of them were 4 or 5 stars in these categories but are now at 2 stars. Is this because I'm a lower league club and the players are deteriorating or is it because the average squad quality has gone up so the quality compared to current players is lower than when compared to the originals. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momo316 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Maybe the difference between the Judging Potential attribute of your Scouts and the one of your assistant manager is big, therefore giving you 2 very different ratings...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance101 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Gedgie: Have you went up a division? That would cause a huge downgrade on the stars assigned to all your players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hook Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 It has to do with expectations. You'll notice if you are expected to fight bravely against relegation, the players will be 4-5+ stars. Take the same squad and have the expectation be challenge for the title, and the star ratings will drop. It's telling you the players are good or not so good depending on what the expectations for them are. edit: and yeah, of course going up a division will do it too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters76 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 In FM09 it compaired players to the best player in your squad. If you were at a lower league club and had players around 100 in ability they could say 4 stars. If you then took a saved game editor and gave one of the players 200 in ability you would see all the other players ho had 4 stars was suddenly 1 star. Coz they were so much worse than the new 200 ability player. pretty stupid system. Not sure if its the same in FM10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie S Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Its relative to the players in your squad. I don't think it is a stupid system Butters, this way the stars actually mean something and are usefull to the manahger. If it wasn't relative to the players in your squad and the level you play at and you were a lower league club then all your players would have only 1 or 2 stars wheras if you were a premier league club most of your players would be 4 or 5 stars. This way you can actually distinguish between the quality levels of the players in your squad because at each level of the pyramid you can have players on the full range of 1-5 stars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance101 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Robbie S: Do the players already in your squad really make a difference in the star rating or just your team reputation/league reputation/league expectations? My experience is the later... I did the following experiment: Started with no players, with a lot of money and reputation 10000; I scouted players and even though I had no player in my squad besides the crappy youth ones, players I scouted had the star ratings I would expect for a team with 10000 reputation, not all 5 stars, like you would expect vis a vis the players in my team (eg. crap). Hope you can clarify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The star system then becomes pretty useless as players are potentially underrated. Personally I think it would be better if you could choose the player used for the comparison.
