Japanese players over-rated?

hi, i'm japanese enjoying playing FM

and many japanese players in this game are saying that Japanese players get too high ability and stuff.

ex. Keisuke Honda (VVV→CSKA Moscow)'s PA is -8

do all European people are rating our guys this high?

that would be good, but if you think if it isn't tell me!

because it will be helpful to make our J-league Database more accurate.

I don't know too much about Japanese players in general, but as a Dutchman I've seen Honda quite a few times over the past year and a half and I don't think a -8 is overrated, tbh. The stereotype we have here of Japanese players is that they're very skilled technically, but lack stamina so after an hour they're ripe for the picking.

ive seen honda on numerous occassions and there is no doubting that the guy is talented.

just to add that a lot of japanese att midfielders tend to be brilliant - nakata, ono, nakamura.....etc

I don't intend to indulge in racial stereotyping. Here's the but.

There's a tendency amongst Japanese people to be less tall than Europeans. The major influence on Japanese football has been Brazilian. Ergo, there are a lot of highly technically skilled players. There aren't many of the tall rangy fit lads you'd find in Ireland (wahey), England (boo, hiss, etc ) and so on.

Certainly, Nakata, Nakamura, Ono and a few others have indicated good players can and will come from Japan.

ex. Keisuke Honda (VVV→CSKA Moscow)'s PA is -8

Thanks for sharing Honda's PA......
