-10 pa

[tomsmith1989]

Hi,

I was looking into editing a database for the first time, and I was reading several threads throughout the forums and some mention "-10 PA". I was just wondering what this meant?

I apologise if this has been brought up before, but I cant search the forums as the search words of "-10 PA" are too short to be included.

Thanks,

Tom.

-10 PA indicates a youngster who has great potential at the start of the game.

Oh ok I see. Thanks a lot.

-10 PA means the player will have a random potential ability between 170-200.

-9 PA - 150-170 (something like that)

You can have down to -1 which is a random potential but they will be a really bad player potentially.

I read somewhere the minus potential numbers worked out as follows:

-10= 180-200

-9= 160-190

-8= 140-170

-7= 120-150

-6= 80-110

-5= 60-90

-4= 40-70

-3= 20-50

-2= 10-40

-1= 1-30

Don't know if its true and I don't have a source since I can't remember where I saw it but even if its not true it something similar. It means the majority of the time the "higher" (although technically lower) -8, -9, -10 players will become much better than the -6,-5 players; but potentially, in some games a -9 potential player will hit 190 whilst a -10 potential player might only hit 180. I could be wrong though.

The PA ranges are as follows:

-10 = 170-200 PA

-9 = 150-180 PA

-8 = 130-160 PA

-7 = 110-140 PA

-6 = 90-120 PA

-5 = 70-100 PA

-4 = 50-80 PA

-3 = 30-60 PA

-2 = 10-40 PA

-1 = 0-20 PA

does anybody know how to search for a player with a - potential on editor? whenever i try i seem to get every player on the database included in the results.

It's easy. Just limit your search between -10 and -10 (or -9 if you wish)
