Glenn Wakeford Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 He has a landmine in his foot so if a striker steps on it he goes boom? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompey4ever Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 maybe the word is just being used to explain that he is quick compared to other centre-backs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hershie Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 maybe the word is just being used to explain that he is quick compared to other centre-backs Yep. 20 pace, but doesn't 'explosive' generally mean they have flair in their attacking abilities?

Joking around the bug that you missed? It's not a bug. It's a description based on his physical ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jirki88 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I've had "Diminutive striker"... 150cm tall. Atleast I hope it means "short", rather than the other meaning, which is "obscure". :o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toothless Gibbon Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Explosive is related to acceleration rather than raw pace isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblefoot Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Explosive is related to acceleration rather than raw pace isn't it? That what I thought too Have seen Obafemi Martins called an explosive striker and I wouldnt consider him to have the same pace as someone like Agbonlahor so seems to be a fitting description to me.

phnompenhandy Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Generally quick and strong = explosive centre back!I have diminutive striker for a South African regen! 5ft 3". Never mind regen - I found a real player in the database names 'Hobbit' - the name fits, and not for his hairy feet!

cemthetriton Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 How exactly can someone be an 'explosive centre-back'? :confused: "Explosive *position*" means the player as Acceleration and Pace of 18 or greater for both attributes (i.e. Acc = 18+ and Pac = 18+). There are also descriptions like "cultured midfielder/winger/striker," "midfield playmaker," "flamboyant midfielder/winger/striker," "clinical striker," "strong centre-back/full-back," "tenacious midfielder," "industrious midfielder," "tireless midfielder," "enthusiastic midfielder," etc. From my experience, each of these specialized descriptions are tied directly to a combination of attributes that are 15 or greater (for example, a cultured midfielder has ratings of 15 or greater in all of the following attributes: technique, passing, dribbling, long shots. In comparison, a cultured winger has ratings of 15 or greater in dribbling, crossing, technique, and long shots. Finally, a cultured striker would have 15 or greater for technique, dribbling, finishing, and long shots. I am assuming the "cultured" is a reference to the ability to shoot from distance, as in "Robin van Persie's 'cultured' left foot").
