Please SI - Show us how to calculate CA!

Whether by giving us the actual formula, or a tool where you input the positions, attributes and it gives you an output of CA!

Im so very tired of having to guess CA when editing players, and if Im wrong, the whole thing gets messed up.

Please SI?

what exactly do you mean?

You mean a formula that shows you what attributes will come out like if you change the CA?

No, to have specific attributes a player needs a specific current ability.

eg, what CA does a player need with 20 finishing pace and off the ball (also include the other attributes)?

I'm not quite understanding, a player can have 20 in finishing, pace and off the ball if you set his CA anywhere between about 130 and 200..

I understand what you want, but I don't think there's any chance of SI revealing the formulas involved. It's also not a straight forward calculation.

I shall put it this way that is very clear.

"SI! Please create a means through which we can DERIVE THE CURRENT ABILITY of a player from the ATTRIBUTES THAT HE HAS."

Its very simple.

Just use mini-scout or genie scout then?

The scout writers don't know the exact CA formula either. Genie is currently very off with positional effects on CA

But it's CA isn't off.

That's because it can take the CA numbers from in game.

The OP wants to be able to calculate CA so you can see the effects of different positions and foot prowess on CA. Also being able to change certain stats using FMM and being able appropriately adjust the CA instead of guessing.

It's not very simple and it's a secret that SI will not share.

He wants to be able to tell when he creates a player in the editor what CA he needs to be given. The editor could work this out for us, like it does for the researchers. Fill in the attributes= what CA does the player need to give him those attributes?

He doesn't want to be able to see a player's CA whilst playing (because that is pointless).

Exactly

I do not think it is that tough to find out , just use FMM and a calculator to find the formula

*Do not forget to leave all those attributes that do not count in CA out .

It doesnt work that way.

Fill in the CA of what you think the player is. Then fill in attributes as you think, the game will then ratio them down or up automatically if your wrong.

I believe a CA of 200 will put every attribute at 15, so you could just work back from there.

You have 2 chances of SI telling you this and the second one is very slim- it is a complex calculation based on attribute weighting according to those attributes deemed essential and desirable for each position.

I can't see why SI wouldn't reveal the information. What would it hurt? I think it is solvable too, if someone spent enough time tracking CA and attributes for each position. Who wants to do a bit of math?

if u want to calculate, this thread is your home http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=18848

good luck, u wont be the first who fails

read what Sheer Class said

Don't use Editors just play the game then you don't need the Formula

I agree: Please SI - Show us how to calculate CA!

Aye thats what SI should do, give out important secrets about the inner workings of the game on a public forum. I mean why hide things from the punters.....and possible competitors. Jings tae hang

There's no need to tell us the formula - as SCIAG says, the editor should work it out automatically. Maybe something like a button next to the CA field called 'Calculate From Attributes', which just updates the players CA based on his current positions/attributes?

This is a very old thread, mind

The fact that someone was asking three years ago might suggest what SI's policy is.

yeah, I would like to make at 2001/2002 database, but I have one big problem. Because when I look at the players in CM 01/02 and copy them into Fm12, it is not the same CA system, some the editor f*** the players totally up. I just can´t figure the CA out. :confused:

I agree, I do not need to know the formula, I just want to make some players accurate in the editor

I created a premier league legends database on FM07 and a calculate CA from attributes button would have been invaluable.

Instead I had to fill in the attributes guess a CA, value start a game check the players in game attributes, go back in to the editor and modify my guess then start another game and so on until I got the CA right.

I think it would be very possible to create one for the general players to use. If they wanted to, of course.

I think the team researchers use a similar tool.

Hopefully they would consider making it.

Benchmark to use currently is if he has high pace and acceleration with either good mentals or technical abilities hes likely to be good.

Who dug this up?

I'd have though the calculations are not only complex but important confidential data. We're not even supposed to know about CA - it's all under the hood, so why the heck should SI release that information?

i have been screaming for this for years too! It makes editing stats a complete nightmare!

That way you don't have to worry about the game rebalancing the player because the CA and attributes don't match in the editor.

The CA formula doesn't have to be revealed.

But anyone with competent maths could work it out pretty quickly if it was that easy.

It's already been pretty much worked out, though there's no guarantee it's accurate. For practical purposes, the info available in the editor's hideaway is as good as it's going to get.

Yeah, it is not exactly a secret as it can be reversed. SI aren't really hiding anything, it is just that FM is poorly documented.
