Robsabbaggio Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Rather than upgrading or downgrading people on a few months of form, how about just upgrading those players that have proven they can reach levels IRL that simply cannot be achieved in the game because there levels are so low? Martin Kelly for example had a stormer at right back against Lyon last season, which had every LFC fan saying that he should be upgraded. But since he got injured in the same game and couldnt play anymore, there wasnt enough evidence to support an upgrade for FM11. This season however, he has played quite a few games and consistently shown attributes well in excess of what is in the database - he has made storming runs, excellent crosses, shown pace and skill, yet his current and potential stats in the game mean there is no chance of him doing that in the game. That's a flaw IMO, and he should be changed. Rooney and Torres meanwhile, while their form has been off for ages, have at least shown they can be brilliant. You would still want them to be able to reach those levels in the game, at least in theory. Maybe a little downgrade to consistency is all thats required, rather than a wholesale attribute slashing?

I point you to the rating of Elano for Man City in 8.2, he'd had a stormer up till that point and was rated highly, before coming back down to earth in 8.3 these things DO happen, like with Dzeko last year 10.3 (deserved imo) and you want them to be abolished based on your logic, why does Roberto Carlos not still have the CA of 180+, he CAN still play very well, just doesn't due to his age... your point and theory is rubbish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonBlade Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Gareth Bale. Just everywhere really. I'm also curious as to how Aaron Lennon isn't remotely one of the fastest players on the planet.

You took my point too far, I wasnt suggesting a blanket rule, just that where specific players have achieved high levels of performance over reasonably long period and it is still unclear that they will never yet recapture them, they shouldnt have their stats slashed completely. Torres, even in his last two injury plagued seasons, has still scored nearly one ever other game, so it would be stupid to completely obliterate him. If the poor form continues, then it will be up to the researchers to re-evaluate. Elano was very over-rated based on form shown for a very short of time. And Roberto Carlos was a great player but is ageing, thats the only reason his stats are reduced, so your comparison is void. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2vA Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I would say Holden is pretty underrated though I think his stats look a lot worse because of his either-footedness.And Rooney deserves a pretty significant decrease. I think it's pretty obvious last year was an outlier and while he's a very good player, I wouldn't say he's world class. A few Dortmund players deserve attribute increases. Sahin has been one of the best midfielders in the world this season and while he's pretty good, he definitely deserves increases in some attributes. Götze needs better physicals and technical attributes. He's been much better than Wilshere but German players always get underrated. I would also say Sven Bender deserves a boost in CA. this man speaks the truth, lots of german players are underrated in this game.just look at thomas müller, the guy plays a whole season as a starter for munich and then a great world cup but he has a friggin lower ca/pa than gareth bale, englands favourite hype...

2vA Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 my problem was that bale's ca/pa is higher than müllers, in my opinion thats a little awkward.initially i was responding to this post: I would say Holden is pretty underrated though I think his stats look a lot worse because of his either-footedness.And Rooney deserves a pretty significant decrease.

sneakysmeagle22 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I don't think bale should be lowered at all IMO, in fact I think his PA should be raised, but I also agree with the comments about muller, he was one of the first players I went looking for on 11 and was really disappointed, think schweinsteiger is a little underrated too if I'm honest, but this may be a carry over from years previoous when he did disappoint for a while. On a separate note, I've watched a lot of PSV over the past few seasons and really think afellay is one to watch who is also a bit low on the game. It's difficult to judge players in the eredivisie though so understand not wanting to overhype him, though I think he looked really good in the WC when he came on for the Netherlands too. Suppose the Barcelona researcher can change him now if he ever gets a game there (disappointed he didn't go somewhere he'd play more regularly!).

Booth Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Prem players I have seen who perform above their fm counterparts: Cheick Tiote - has played well in his beginnings at Newcastle and certainly looks to be worthy of a few points extra so he really locks down that DM role. Seamus Coleman - Could possibly do with a few points extra and certainly M/L adding to his positions Magno Vieira - (Fleetwood Town) is a bit of a beast who deserves a higher rating than Donnelly Danny Simpson - knocking on the england door (because we have 0 rightbacks in this country) was hampered by injury at the start of the season and just plain sucks on FM Definitely would like to see some stats move round, i f for no other reason than to make starting a new game a bit more interesting.
