Weird player descriptions?

How exactly can someone be an 'explosive centre-back'? :confused:

He has a landmine in his foot so if a striker steps on it he goes boom?

maybe the word is just being used to explain that he is quick compared to other centre-backs

He's a Raving Rabbid?

Yep. 20 pace, but doesn't 'explosive' generally mean they have flair in their attacking abilities?

I was expecting atleast ONE serious reply before a bomb comment.

No thats Flamboyent! explosive is someone quick.

Joking around the bug that you missed?

I'm glad I could exceed your expectations.

It's not a bug. It's a description based on his physical ability.

I had an explosive keeper once, so it's obviously automatically linked to stats.

Makes sense.

I'm waiting for "Has a Lucozade Engine" as a description.

I've had "Diminutive striker"... 150cm tall.

Atleast I hope it means "short", rather than the other meaning, which is "obscure". :o

Generally quick and strong = explosive centre back!

I have diminutive striker for a South African regen! 5ft 3".

i had an "explosive apple" once.

well thats what happen when i threw it at the wall

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.

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! (he's damned good actually)

ok that's hilarious

Anyone seen a player described as 'Legendary'?

Just seen it for my current right-back. It certainly seems to fit him.

I've seen Theirry Henry labelled as 'Legendary Striker'.

Unsurprisingly really. This Post of mine is actually pointless.

Gerrard is a Legendary midfielder on mine.

I had Pires labelled a 'Legendary Winger'

I disagreeed.

heaps of players get legendary

wonder if there is a duracell player in the game

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"). Sorry for the essay, just trying to be thorough
