Hey fanboys, admit that the match engine and the CA system is a joke. Are you telling me that even though Elano's stats are a lot better than Ronaldo's, because Ronaldo is two-footed it makes him better?! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Ronaldos CA is better than Elanos.

His Physical stats are a total of 20 better than Elanos

And Ronaldos hidden atributes are higher by 14!

Plus, yes, his two footedness has a huge impact! If Elano gets the ball on his left - despite having finishing the same as Ronaldo - he will hit the back of the net far less often. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

So tell me why when you look at their stats, Ronaldo seems to have a far inferior appearance in terms of his attributes? His higher CA is certianly not illustrated to us apart from his two-footedness. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

1/ You've started throwing around the word fanboy, so anyone with half a brain already thinks you're a moron - if you act politely you are much more likely to get a reasonable response.

2/ Compare results not stats. Elano performs fairly well, ronaldo regularly tears teams apart in FM - just because you don't think his stats are as good, doesn't mean he isn't a better player. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

So you're calling me the moron when you're the one saying that we shouldn't look at stats to decide how good a player is? I think the real moron here is you; I'm, not quite sure how you play FM but usually a good way to decide how good a player is is to look at their stats... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm guessing the concept of hidden stats is vastly beyond your comprehension? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Just think about it a little bit, Ched. HIDDEN stats. They're HIDDEN mate. That mean's you can't see them. So you understand that?

Half of the time the scout reports are wron, so even an idea of what his hidden stats might be like are wrong. So how are we ever going to paint an accurate picture of a player?

The highest CA in FM 2009 will be Carlos Cuellar with 199 </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

To be fair he has been brilliant in all the Rangers games i have watched this season (although limited) and looks like a truley seperb centre back.

On the Ronaldo issue however, as i Man utd fan i will admit that Messi is better at getting past people with wonderful touch and pace, howver people who compare the two players only compare them on thise they neglect the fact that unlike messi Ronaldo hit 42 goals this season with fantiastic free-kicks, wonderful headers, calm finishes, poachers tap ins and beautifly crafted individual goals. That is why overall Ronaldo is the best player in the world, Not becuause he is the best dribbler (messi), the best finisher (torres??) or the best header (Drogba?) but because overall he is damn close to all of them in their key part of game, which means he has more than all of them individually

I edited his stats, even though I'm playing La Liga.

I gave him more better attacking attributes and made him equally adept as a striker and he's just had his first 10+ goal season for Man Utd.

Keeping the quote in context, go to player profile / positions. There you will see ratings for left and right feet. There. That wasn't so difficult was it?

And if you think that being able to use both feet isn't an huge advantage in football then I suggest you go and actually play more games.

Being able to use both feet is an incredible benefit in terms of playing the ball, especially in a higher paced game. Being able to shoot, pass or tackle on either side of your body is an incredible skill (and conversely relying on one foot can be a hinderance - an easy way to shut out a striker in an amateur game is to force him to use his left foot).
