Does hidden skills (ambition, professionalism etc) use CA/PA?

Hi,

Just wondering if increased determination, ambition, professionalism and those things use CA/PA points? So if I have a player with a poor personality, but then give him a tutor, and improve his personality, will this have used ability points? This is FM15.

Thanks.

None of the hidden attributes cost CA no.

Determination is also a free attribute and doesn't cost CA.

Thank you so much.

Do you have a list of all the free attributes? I'm assuming it's mostly set pieces?

It used to be;

Adaptibility

Controversy

Ambition

Determination

Loyalty

Pressure

Professionalism

Sportsmanship

Temperament

Consistency

Aggression

Important Matches

Injury Prone

Natural Fitness

Penalties

Corners

Free-kicks

Long throws

Does that mean any player can max out any one of those free attributes, or are their max values predetermined for each player?

Theoretically, yes, they can max any one of those out. Realistically, no, they probably won't, or at least not max many. This is because it is relative to where they start. If you repeatedly tutored a player with someone who was maxed in say, professionalism, then yes, you could max that attribute out. With the playing attributes like penalties, you can train it forever, but I have never seen it go up all that much. Same with corners, so I wouldn't expect someone with a 5 in free kicks to develop into a 20, but someone who started with 15 or 16 might.
