coach attributes

just want to ask a quick question.do coachs attributes improve as they get older.so for example if a coach who is aged 35 and has mainly 12's in coaching can these get better?

I think they can now... dunno about earlier versions.

In a Sampdoria save with 11.1.1 I signed a scout with 18 JA and 18 JP but within a year they were 20/19 so the scout obviously improved, I can't see why it wouldn't apply to coaches too?

Providing they have the capacity for improvement they tend to improve through their 30s/40s before declining somewhere in their 50s/60s.

I think they operate in the same manner as players.

They have a "Current Ability" (CA) and a "Potential Ability" (PA).

If the coach has a CA/PA of 150/180, He may or may not improve by 30 points.

ok so where do i find the current and potetional ability for coaches?

They are hidden. I would say coaches with high Determination are more likely to reach their potential however. Then again, a staff member can have really low ability but just happen to have very good scores in the attribute required for his speciality.

You can't find the CA/PA of staff unless you use an editor.

When looking for staff, look on their personal tab.

You get your existing staff;s oppinions on your target.

Sorry, what do you mean by this? There's no way to get a staff member's opinion of another staff member.

If you look at the screenie, you will see a page from an unemployed fitness coach in my game.

You can see that I am on his page entitled "Personal" which is the tab next to "Attributes"

On the right hand side, you can see a series of blue bars which tell the coaches strength in each area.

At the top of the blue bars you can see the words "Backroom Advice".

The blue bars are the oppinion of your backroom staff ....... IE your coaches.

Thats what I menat.

Those bars just indicate how good that particular person is at offering backroom advice on a particular topic. They're calculated by combining some of his attributes; for example, Man Management is a combination of the Man Management attribute and (I think) the Motivating attribute. They don't represent your coaches' opinions of that person's abilities.
