Guest Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 So I've noticed that my players have a lot of secret PPMs that aren't visible in the game, I guess they work the same way as the hidden mental stats. Common hidden PPMs are: Forwards Shoots against opponent's legs Allows defenders to catch up Midfielders Shoots from byline Defenders Runs alongside attacker Runs alongside team mate running alongside attacker Goalkeepers Stays on line Anyone else noticed any other hidden PPMs?

Guest Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'm in a good mood at the moment so I'll keep this open so long as people can keep it light-hearted Let's see who out of the community have some comedy gold tucked away. OP appears to have the same keeper as me but I do have another Defender PPM Defender (full back) Runs away when losses ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunstrikuuu Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I think the pitch I just played on had the Pitch Preferred Maneuver Is a pinball machine rather than a football pitch after a farcical goal in which a weak header from a corner bounced off my goalkeeper's hands, off the bar, off the far post, off my left back standing at the far post, off the far post again, back off my goalkeeper's chest and into the net.

Overmars Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Some slight deviations from the true PPMs: Likes to fail to beat offside trap Plays one-twos with opponents Marks opponents loosely Hits free kicks with no power Stays forward at all times Plays no good through balls Plays short complicated passes Switches ball to opponent on other flank Runs rarely without the ball Likes to lob crossbar Plays with back to ball Possesses long flat face Places shots into stands Tries to play into trouble Relies on weaker foot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svenc Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Until previously if for some weird reasons you let your wide backs go man to man on opposing wingers, this would trigger the Arrives too late in own area ppm, briefly also known as admires opponent from distance whilst being called stares at back at all times in the prototype stage. [video=youtube;gKPXeRkwbyY] Comes deep to take a chunk was also pretty neat. Been long removed though due to legal reasons. How about closes down regardless for like every centre back in the game, or wait is that possibly tactical? Not sure, but how about the converts teams' only shot on target against human managers on just about any pish forward, or are those possibly perception bias?
