HardChap Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 During the June-holiday my best central defender decide to drop his determination by 10. From 18-8! As determination is a vital stat for him as a CB and a youngsters I would like to know if it ever will come back. He is 23, soon to be 24. I would prefer to keep as his among the better English CBs in my save. Ideas anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I guess his determination got shot because he had to queue at the airport for hours, lost his luggage, missed his flight then spent two weeks on the beach somewhere in the pouring rain!!

!.m.! Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Did you get a message from your assistant saying about recent off-field events? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardChap Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yeah, off field events during the holiday something. Isn't he too old to be able to get it tutored back from a older player? Considering his status and all. I have no idea where his holiday took place so I cant confirm your theory michael. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

achilles-the-victorious Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Finished, sorry! Get a good price before his level of play and reputation are affected! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurogj Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 You can increase Determination by warning and fining after poor performances, but it's not an exact science, and would take a long time to make up 10 lost points. Cut your losses and wave him bye bye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkjellander Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 If he's more or less done developing and you fancy him as one of the better CBs available, keep an eye on whether his performances truly dip before rushing to sell him. Especially if you do not have an equal replacement lined up. While Determination is an important stat, it's not the be-all end-all stat. He's more prone to suffering from poor results, true. But unless you spend a lot of your games coming from behind or very tightly contested, you may not suffer from it too much. Shame to have a great player affected like that, though. Sorry!

I often can see no drop in form due to poor morale, or dips in performance stats. This really is not an exact science. Keep him & play him, I doubt he'll noticeably disappoint.

Ackter Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 His determination hitting that low is likely to slow his development and it'll be a lot harder to get the best out of him. I sell people it happens to, cash in on them while you still can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggo Vickers Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I had that with a Danish Goalkeeper. The kid would have been a world beater, 20 determination, 19 years old, my first choice keeper. He got injured for 3 months, then few weeks later got a mail saying an off the field event caused him to becoming less determined, it had dropped to 8. I ended up cashing in on him in the end of the season, as determination is a big attribute for player growth. This is the first time I've had this happen, and I often have young teams full of regens (usually age average of around 23+). Note: This was towards the end of the season, not on Holiday.

Krald Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Like others said a bit, if a player's already developed losing the determination isn't the end of the world. I've had club legends with 11 Determination who were amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Äktsjon Männ Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sorry to bump an oldish thread but I just had the opposite happen. A player suddenly got a determination boost from 10 to 17 due to apparent off field events. I'm wondering if that sort of thing makes any sense though. What kind of event would make somebody twice as determined just like that, overnight? Shouldn't something like this be temporary at least? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something like a parent passing away made him more determined to make it as a top player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

benallen002 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Is this an incredibly rare thing? I've only been playing FM (2012 only) for about a year and have never once seen this happen in about 10 or so different saves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened to a useless youth product who was going to be released anyway thankfully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
