pigfacemonkeyman Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 There is a hidden PPM "Likes ball played into feet" Unless other players recognise this PPM what use is it? It shouldn't take long for players in the same team to learn that it is pointless to keep playing high balls to a team mate who can't jump. I have yet to see even the more intelligent/best passers make allowance for this in FM, whether the player with the poor jumping attribute has this PPM or not. So: a)if other players don't recognise PPMs what is the point of this one? b)if they do, why doesn't this one work? c)why don't players make a point of keeping the ball low when passing to a team mate they know well, who can't jump?

Kenco Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Surely your tactics would help with this; play short passing, no through balls or if a target man you can set to 'play to feet'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemeures Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 i never knew there were hidden ppm's. Whats the point of this if its hidden, surely a low jumping attribute is sufficient? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormenDK Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Surely your tactics would help with this; play short passing, no through balls or if a target man you can set to 'play to feet'. I am sure that the manager can make tactical decisions to get the ball to his feet ... But surely the players should know this without having to tailor the tactics to ensure that they play to his feet. Maybe he likes a direct passing game, and maybe using him as a target man is not what he wants .... the team mates should still try to hit him in the feet, if they know that he has this PPM. Even if it is hidden from the manager (why it would be, is a mystery to me), one would assume that he told his team mates to play him in his feet.

What if he likes to run after through balls. Hard to tell if a player likes the ball to feet as a ppm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
