Reving Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 When i scout a goalkeeper I always count OUT Eccentricity as a needable ability. My question is that: What is Eccentricity in this game for goalkeepers, What does it make them to do or not to do. Definition for Eccentricity in Wikipedia: Eccentricity may refer to: * Eccentric contraction, lengthening of muscle fibers * Eccentric (mechanism), a wheel that rotates on an axle that is displaced from the focus of the circle described by the wheel * Eccentric position of a surveying tripod to be able to measure hidden points * Orbital eccentricity, in astrodynamics, calculated from orbital state vectors as an absolute value of eccentricity vector or using other methods based on orbital energy and angular momentum. * Eccentric anomaly, the angle between the direction of periapsis and the current position of an object on its orbit. * Eccentric (astronomy), a type of deferent, a circle or sphere used in obsolete astronomical systems to carry a planet around the Earth or Sun. I hope someone can help me with that. (Another question: Can anyone tell me where (if there is) I can find what all the abilities means, such for goalkeepers to forwards...? Example: Heading means that a players chans to win a header is very good if he has better his opponent... But of course the jumping also count in that matter (also length should matter, but I have not seen that count..) Only me who is intrested in those?? Thanks for any answers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reving Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Sorry for copying wrong. The real definition of Eccentricity is Eccentricity may refer to: * Eccentricity (behavior), unusual or odd behavior on the part of a person, as opposed to being "normal" * Eccentricity (mathematics), a parameter associated with every conic section * Eccentricity vector * Eccentricity (graph theory) of a vertex in a graph * Eccentric contraction, lengthening of muscle fibers * Eccentric (mechanism), a wheel that rotates on an axle that is displaced from the focus of the circle described by the wheel * Eccentric position of a surveying tripod to be able to measure hidden points * Orbital eccentricity, in astrodynamics, calculated from orbital state vectors as an absolute value of eccentricity vector or using other methods based on orbital energy and angular momentum. * Eccentric anomaly, the angle between the direction of periapsis and the current position of an object on its orbit. * Eccentric (astronomy), a type of deferent, a circle or sphere used in obsolete astronomical systems to carry a planet around the Earth or Sun.

kevt81 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Eccentricity- Think of Bartez or even Higuita. Keepers with high Eccentricity tend to do rash things like dribbling with the ball all the way up the pitch, or come flying out their area to get the ball when there is no need to.

Tommy \'the red\' Howard Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I always think of the keeper's 'wheel that rotates on an axle' when I am selecting one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neji Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Tendency to punch is actually a weakness. If the GK has high decisions then it wont be a problem. Think of Iker Casillas who punches the ball away alot but pretty much all the time, he gets the ball to somewhere safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skunner Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I always wondered about that aswell. I noticed quite a few goal keepers had low eccentricity stats and it made me wonder if that is a good thing or bad thing. Thanks for clearing that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullion1 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 well the FM08 manual says that eccentricity is the odd that the keeper will do something unlike a keeper, Like dribble up the pitch etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arrogantio Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Tendency to punch is also a good thing to have for goalkeepers with poor handling and/or aerial ability. Better to have a keeper flap to the edge of the area than drop the ball on his goal line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatpigeon Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Aggression isn't necessarily negative. High aggression may increase the chances of players/keepers winning challenges or headers. (I think) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
