HisHolyHighness Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I see it all the time on the forums, I know its something to do with potential and current ability, but can someone PLEASE explain it to me in black and white. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 For older players researchers give players a fixed CA & PA between 1 & 200. For younger players its more difficult to give an absolute PA as we don't know exactly how good they'll be so they are given a negative number. When you start a save the game will turn these numbers into a fixed PA within a given range. So a player with -10 PA will receive a fixed PA between 170 & 200 when a save is started -9 = 150-180 -8 = 130-160 -7 = 110-140 etc etc In addition a you can also set a PA of 0 which will give a random PA between 1 & 200.

robzilla Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Players who have a negative PA number in the database are assigned a random PA (Potential Ability) between two values (determined by the number) at the start of a game. Therefore these players do not have a fixed PA (as in, fixed in the database - but the PA that is assigned to them at the start of the game is then fixed for the duration of that game). I think -9 is the highest so equates to a PA of 180-200 or something like that. There must be a list somewhere on here of exactly what range each number corresponds to, but that is the general idea behind them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrahimagic Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I always thought a 0 PA gave a random PA with range -10 to 20. Therefore potentially a zero rating could mean 200, however that requires first the 1/30 chance that it would be -10, and then a further 1 in 30 chance of it being 200 from the 170-200 range. Which theorically means that a zero PA could give anything, however the strong likelihood is that it will be 1-20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I am pretty sure having a PA of 0 mean a random PA between 1 and 200 the minus PA's do not come into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
