Hello perpetua,
I think your explanation about the pace and acceleration attribute makes sense. But I think there are inconsistencies in the turkish league.
For example:
Hakim Ziyech has 11 pace and 13 acceleration
Sebastian Szymański has 9 pace and 14 acceleration
A player like szymanski who has clips of him sprinting to catch strikers as a last man, or beats offside line repeatedly is slower in nearly every sense than a playmaking winger who is rapidly declining in terms of physical attributes in real life.
Also new transfers (especially loan players) from other leagues to the turkish league does not follow the same formula in terms of acceleration and pace.
Rade krunic for example has 14 pace and 13 acceleration. That makes him faster than batshuayi, szymanski, ismail yüksek, mert hakan yandaş and arguably fred. He is nearly identical in terms of pace with mert müldür and çağlar söyüncü.
This does not make sense to me. Shouldn't all football manager database share same formulas for attributes?
You can say that turkish league has low pace in general, but that is not caused by just players. Yes some of the players does not have physical capabilities as players from other league but turkish leagues problems are mostly caused by playstyles and referees.
Also in terms of upgrades and downgrades. Does a player like Michi Batshuayi really deserves his current ability reduced more signaficantly than a player like Wilfered Zaha? Or a relatively low performing player like İcardi (compared to the last season) should stay at the abilities while some other players that are performing better than last year are getting downgrades (like batshuayi).
While I respect your opinion, and I understand that fenerbahçe is not the leader in the turkish league, the league is still really close and players from fenerbahçe does not really deserve that kind of downgrades.
I know this is a new account but I am a long time player, I just do not follow the forums that much. But this ''issue'' really made me write here.
Hopefully you have a great week and day, looking forward to your answer.
