muy8781 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Not sure if this is just me but is there anyway to have a player develop their weaker foot in FM21?? I have gone to have my coaches conduct this training but if is no longer in the PPM discussions 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukchris Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I came to the forum looking for info on this. It seems it has been intentionally removed this year and isn't a bug, unfortunately. I used to use this quite a bit on youngsters who were only good with one foot, as I felt even moving them up to average on the weak side was a big benefit compared to being weak. I'll just have to be more selective with signings this year in certain positions. https://community.sigames.com/topic/539210-no-develop-weak-foot-option/ for reference.

robot_skeleton Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I really wish the dev team explained this decision. I would be interested in their thinking. Who knows, maybe in real life it is extremely difficult to improve weaker foot, even at a young age, it just seems like such a drastic change without any explanation that I am simply baffled a bit. But it certainly makes me picky in future transfers once I get into my annual Southampton save Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
04texag Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I agree it would be nice to get some reasoning behind changes when they are removing features from previous games. This ppm plus dictates tempo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have noticed that I received messages that certain players "were working on their weak foot." I think these messages were in training e-mails I got, but I'm not completely sure on that. So some players with a weak off foot will improve, but it seems there is no longer a way to specifically direct this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently weaker foot can improve with training sessions that work on Technique, so maybe that's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they said they were adding it back in to the regular game (which they did). However, for saves that starting in the Beta, existing players who had this trait and others (like plays one twos) didn't get them on existing saves.

Rashidi Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Train weaker foot has been removed because the way traits are done are generally either/or but weaker foot was a scaled attribute, and the only trait to do so. Now players will work on their weaker foot when technique is included in a general training session. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevaggel Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 10 hours ago, Rashidi said: Now players will work on their weaker foot when technique is included in a general training session. Some questions to better understand this: a) Is there a threshold in the 'technique' attribute above that the player is able to develop his weak foot ? b) If that threshold exists do we get that trait option afterwards or the weak foot just keep developing ? c) Do you know if the "Individual training" for technique (finishing, passing, ball control) is helping ?

I mean idk it could be possible to train some players in their prime who only play with one foot. Edited January 27, 2021 by pelidaaq Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jervaj Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) I haven't seen the PPM appear by itself, but aside of what Rashidi said about technique general training. you sometimes get in the training comments "player is trying to improve his weaker foot on his free time". This is usually when you notice the most improvements. To be honest I wouldn't mind if weak foot improvement was easier to track as it really requires you to play very close attention, and given the lwoer granularity it may not be noticed sometimes. Some kind of arrow like for attributes would be cool. And this happens for older players by the way. Not only young ones. I have seen some 25yo training it. It seems good personalities make it much more likely (sepcially if the player is older). Its the only pattern I have found. Improvements are overall more common in younger players though as like with most things. Edited January 27, 2021 by Jervaj 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shani ace Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 That is a really baffling decision, coaches in real life can definitely work specifically on the weaker foot of a player, so why shouldn't they anymore in FM? This was always the first thing I did with any new signing (I rarely train any of the other player traits) and it is vital to get rid of the weak foot, for example for a left-sided CB or a WB that you wanna play on the other side. So now I am forced to change the team training (which I never touch) in order to get a few individual players to get rid of their weak foot?! What if some of the players are in the defensive unit and and some in the attacking unit? I don't wanna complete screw up their team training just because of one attribute. This a really odd decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
