[FMT/Classic Editor - The Discussion]

I was looking for the editor in FMT21 to play it on my iPad, and I am baffled that there isn’t one while the FM21 Mobile Version has one 

 

After checking the In App Purchase Options of FMT21 the answer is obvious.

It would be honest to just tell us that SI fears an editor in the Touch versions would harm their revenue because if some players pay 5-10 Euro/Dollar every FMT save that would mean an editor should cost as least as much.

And I am sure many of us would pay 10 bucks for it

@enigmatic@XaW Thanks for the hints, I am still trying to get "into" all that metrics and how the AI rates situations and allocates or caluclates certain numbers and puts them into a context with all that messages and information

[Player development makes zero sense to me in this game.]

So i just got the message from my assistant coach:

"Sven Ulreich only is an average Keeper in the Bundesliga" and it was "former good keeper in the Bundesliga".
Bust his CA matched is PA of 137 so he never was higher rated than now/today?
How can he be "worse" when "mathematically" he has the best case personal rating, like today at age 32!? 🤔
 
I don't understand that message. Does this mean a keeper with 137 CA only is an average keeper in the Bundesliga compared to other keepers in the Bundesliga?

So the reference is not is PA but the CA of similiar players in my Leagues?

 So i have no doubt and will pick up the the ambidextrous one

Another geat and in hindsight obvious hint, thanks, and shows how importan the little details are.

Just thinking about Bundesliga Manager C64 Sessions lol

How FAR have we come!

Yes, about Niko Mohr. 

As above, maybe with great consistency and right attributes in the right tactic he could perform better of stronger players (with maybe 20 CA points more), but i dont' know if he could reach third division level. 

 

To make it clear there is NO way to "pass" the PA cap, right? The PA 80 Player could play in my fantasy cheated team with Ronaldo and Messi and Neymar in attacking and I win 30 games in a row and he gets the best coaches and individual training sessions, but he won't surpass that 80 CA after all, ever?

[Player development makes zero sense to me in this game.]

Just another thought, you guys discussed that at page 1 and now it explains so much: The AI usually "finds" the "best PA prospects" first if you don't use that hidden attributes mod like I do, right?

It somehwat spoils the exitcement to find the best young players myself but that's how I only can compete with the CPU/AI after all it seems?

So the result is that you can find the best 16-19 year olds with 100-150+ PA in the 3-5 best Leagues and the youth and amateur teams of the "big clubs"?

I just checked 1 german, 1 itlaian and 1 spanish top club and the under 20 players and second teams and youth teams and wtf do they have a cluster of 120-150+ PA talents, it is absurd.

These clubs are also the ones to buy/contract the new generated 100+ PA talents asap, right? or does the AI in this game "casually" and artificially "miss" these talents, I am speaking of the new generated 15-16 year olds every new season.

The only exceptions I found are "farm teams" ....

Spoiler

like Red Bull Salzburg, and him:

with this real good 17 year old 146 PA player from a "not top league".

I would also note that looking at CA or PA is not something you should do exclusively. The number can be misleading if the players have a poor distribution of attributes and/or poor stats for the "hidden attributes" such as professionalism and consistency.

This is a VERY great advice and hint how to deal with this, thanks, did not think about how stats allocation could create two really different players with 160 CA. It's so obvious in hindsight but not intuitive if you are new to the FM series and mechanics. Thanks for helping

[Player development makes zero sense to me in this game.]

And this guy here will be an elite player with 99 CA and 166 (!) PA one day and is one of the best prospects in the FM2021 game iirc?

Spoilertag for the pic link; dont click if you want to find him yourself

 

By the way "who" determined the 166 PA? The SI devs and researchers? 166 is just their educated "guess" and what/how they think this guy could peak? Sorry for all the newbie questions

There are some very important attributes that don't cost in term of CA points: Consistency and important Matches. (and aggressive and flair too, but are less importat).
So he could become a player that perform at his max level more ofter than a player with 120 CA (but low consistency). 
But generally, you're right. When he get his peak he could perform well in Hungarian First Division at max, not in Bundesliga.

 

Oh dang, that's good to know. So he might outperform a "typical" 120 CA player at his position but he would never become as good or elite as players with top Bundesliga/Serie A/Premier League players around 155 to 175, right?

I have another question if you don't mind.

The next pic is a random new generated player in the game of 16 years. His market value is, well, zero.

His PA says 52 and no matter what anyone (me or the AI) would do, his current 29 overall rating will eventually face a roadblock of 52 CA at his early 20 years? 🤔 Thats like a what, 4th or 5th Division player?

Hey guys!

While I have been playing Football and Bundesliga Manager Games back in the 80s on the C64 and Amiga 500, I am somewhat new to SI Football Manager and all the depth of CA and PA, and I read this thread with much interest, and I wanna just ask you guys to check if I got this right.
I installed a skin/mod for the Hidden Attributes and got this guy on my second Team.

He is 20 years, so still very young! Thats good, right?
I would have thought he may be a great prospect but it turns out he has a PA of 103 and already is at 100. And that is..."bad"?

My Question:

Does this mean the PA is a hard cap for the CA and there literally and technically is no way all his skills and abilities combined would ever surpass a future 103 CA?

So all training and playing time and even future lub success would keep him at a second division / Zweite Bundesliga - Level? There is no point in "investing" any more time and (contract) money at him right?
