scoot4nat Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Sounds like a silly question but stay with me. Just been reading a thread about regens who are not competent in positions which are similar to their natural positions. Got me thinking - if a natural CB and CM player is playied in the DMC position and he is "red" on the position screen, will heplay badly? Or will his attributes - which for the sake of argument, are ideal for a defensive midfielder, allow him the play a good game. I suppose what I am saying is should the players position be purely determined by his attributes. This would obviously be easier with world class players who have attributes near the top end - not sure how this would be implemented in much lesser players who have 1s and 2s.

afced7 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 The consensus is that players played out of position make poorer decisions, take up poorer positions etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom14 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I think that it only affects mental attributes. Tackling and finishing should stay the same wherever you are on the pitch. I think it only affects things like decisions, positioning, etc that are mental attributes. This is only a guess by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense I suppose - if it is correct it would be good to get an idea by how much the attributes are reduced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar007 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Would be fantastic if SI would actually explain some of these concepts and the effects to the players. It is tiring to be guessing about such a fundamental concept to the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 A lot can be deduced from basic real life thinking. If Evra was asked to play left wing by Ferguson, or Cole by Ancelotti, or whatever, he'd be able to perform to some extent but would be less able in others. He probably wouldn't suffer technically, though some weaknesses of his play may be exposed (I remember Roberto Carlos was found to be a poor dribbler when used on the wing). This would seem like a mental attribute decrease, but I doubt mental attributes are simply decreased across the board by x points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
