Natural Fitness

Is there any way to improve a players natural fitness?? I have a regen with incredible stats but he is always at about 71% fitness at half time because is natural fitness rating is 9. Thanks

Nope. That's pretty much the only stat you can't change I think. I thought Stamina was more influential on in game fitness anyway whereas NF was more to do with recovery time and the like. Could be wrong though.

I think you may be wrong because although his in game fitness is poor he recovers reallly quickly

thanks for your help though

I've seen Natural Fitness attributes rise, although not by much.

You might want to make your own custom training schedule for the player and increase his 'Strength' training, whilst reducing the other areas slightly. Although this may tire the player out in the short-term, it should improve his Stamina, Natural Fitness and Strength in the long-term.

Actually the online manual does say Natural Fitness is what effects the recovery and stamina determines in-game fitness and that is indeed confirmed in game, because a player with a low stamina will be tired out before halftime but with a high stamina will play a full match, regardless of NF. As for recovery, the only time you really notice any difference in recovery speeds is during extreme congestion, ie only 1-2 days rest between matches. NF has more impact on physical attrib drops in their later years more then it impacts recovery, imo.

Whats the players stamina?

How old is this regen?

All youngsters seem to struggle with the demands of first team football is they are still developing.
