Fixed PA for -8,-9,-10

[fayon]

As you know, players with PA of:

-10 randomize the value at the begining of the game between 170-200

-9 between 150-180

-8 between 130-160

etc..

I don't like variability so i fixed every PA of -8,-9,-10 to an average depending on the CA instead of a random value.

In this manner (For a PA of -8):

CA=xx0 -> PA=145

CA=xx1 -> PA=146

CA=xx2 -> PA=147

CA=xx3 -> PA=148

CA=xx4 -> PA=149

CA=xx5 -> PA=145

CA=xx6 -> PA=146

CA=xx7 -> PA=147

CA=xx8 -> PA=148

CA=xx9 -> PA=149

I edited this manually, but if someone knows a faster way to do it i'm all ears, because i dont think i'm gonna do it for the -7 players

To use it you have to start a new game and load the editor data file.

So how does this work?

When you start a new game you have to load this editor data file.

but how do i know which are -8, -9, -10 and from where? amongst say a large db of 14,000 players

[fayon]

mmm there is no way you can know that in the game.

so what is this file for? what's the use of it, if it ain't gonna help find -8 to -10 players

[fayon]

If you want to know which players have random potential then you could use the editor to find them. When in game, i don't know how you could do it.

I use this file because this way a player will always have the same potential, thereby will always be as good as it gets, no matter in what game i am.

I know this seems pretty illogical regarding reality because there is a lot of variability on the developing of young players, but is like, i want to play in one line of time instead of having one player being crap or a star every time i start a new game.

This has a lot to do with the wide range that the PA moves for -10,-9,-8, etc... if i could reduce the range that would be awesome, but i just fixed an average value instead.

I just uploaded it because there could be someone who finds it useful too.

If I understand it right, fayon is removing some of the random-ness from the PA system. So rather than a -8 player being anything between 120 and 160 (which is a massive difference) at the start of each game, they can be given a specific PA based on their CA in the editor DB. So every -8 player is going to have a good potential in the 140s rather than some of them being amazing and some of them not so good. A decent idea.

That only matters if you constantly restart games, in which you're missing the best of FM in it's long-term saves. Think of it this way - When you start a new game you basically create your own thread of reality, where X is crap and Y is good, and roll with that.

I think the randomness of a player's ability is vital - otherwise every game will be exactly the same and you'd be buying the same players over and over

As you know, players with PA of:

-10 randomize the value at the begining of the game between 170-200

-9 between 140-180

-8 between 120-160

-9 ->150-180

-8 -> 130-160
