tomtuck01 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I haven't said it is more important than those attributes, but it is still an important attribute. If you go behind in a game, Determined players will get fired up and try to inspire the team to get you back into the game. Take Van Persie for instance: his Determination is 19, and he's so often in my season he has been the player to get us back into a match after we've gone behind. If you watch the games, your determined players genuinely react and act in a determined manner. I need to have determination in my team, personally. That's down to their personality, not the "Determination" attribute. (I'm well aware that "Determination" is high for a few of the 'better' personalities).

tomtuck01 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Wouldn't Determination be a part of their personality?

scott MUFC Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Determination is supposed to help development and also how a player reacts when losing. I try and avoid decreasing it, or if i can, increase it. got Evra turturing shaw ATM, and i'll take the 1 point drop. I'm playing shinji on the left wing, as i play 4-4-2 currently in January, trying to offload deadwood. 0-0 against City in FA cup away 0-0 against wigan, welbeck headed a few crosses against the bar from practially under it. made one signing so far. well he wont come until next season, but not a bad freebie.

I'm pretty sure it says the same in research guidelines, because I used to be a Head Researcher. Please don't play the head researcher role especially as you are using it in the wrong context. Determination might matter for how the players are scored for research purposes.. But for player development determination has nothing at all to do with development. The only 2 attributes that matter for development and whether someone fulfills or reaches potential is ambition and professionalism. Hmmm how sure are you with that?

Personal preference = opinion which in turn means you can be wrong and its not true. Determination is no more important than the other attributes, things like decisions are even more important than determination so to make statements like; Determination is one of the most important attributes if not the most important. I'd never tutor a player if his tutro has less Determintaion then the tutee (spelling?) does. Makes it sound like its a fact when it isn't. And I wasn't being smart but you made out being a head researcher made a difference somehow when it doesn't, it has no bearing at all. If you value it above all else then that's fine as its your opinion and the way you play. It can be useful to have in players no denying that but to say its more important that others can be misleading and I like to stamp myths out because people then believe it to be gospel. There are too many lies on these forums with people making out something works in a way it doesn't, I just wanted to make sure this didn't happen here.

Anyways enough of this now, lets not ruin this thread. Agreed when it comes to personal preferences. That's just my personal preference when it comes to tutoring, which mighht be right or wrong. Work so far for me. My mistake was that I didn't write that it's my personal preference, but that's what I've meant, instead it sounded like a fact which is not. When it comes to Determintation, I didn't say that it's more important then other attributes, I've just said that ''it's one of the most important attributes'' (which is correct), that part ''if not the most important'' (is not correct in general, but at times it can be, when losing in a match players need to be determined to turn it aorund for e.g.). The only mistake I've made is that I should have said that I'm not talking about player development when it comes the ''Determination is one of the most important attributes if not the most important'', but I was talking in general, and in general that is correct. As of HR position, I don't have all the guidelines anymore, but in one of the guidelines it says: ''Determination - How much determination he has to succeed on and off the field.'' So, it actually has to do with player development according to that guideline. Aside of that, it sounds pretty much like one of the most important attributes. Guidelines are for FM 2013, so I doubt they are much out of date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

batty1 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 August/September/October Update Transfers Otavio and Doria have been revelations and began repaying their transfer fees immediately. Jese has done well when hes played too, as have Leandrinho, Silva, Romero. Werner Hasn't played much at all. Selling Tom for £30M was a no brainer really. Buttner wouldn't have gotten any first team action, and I thought Johnstone would develop better than Amos. League Notable Fixtures Southampton (A) Lost 3-2 [Leandrinho (9), Rooney (pen 70)] Cardiff (H) W 2-0 [Doria (22), Evans (47)] West Ham (A) W 3-1 [Carrick (pen 25), Otavio (28,5)] Chelsea (H) W 2-0 [Otavio (48), Valencia (57)] Newcastle (A) W 2-0 [Chicharito (34, pen 38)] Arsenal (H) W 4-1 [Jese (13), Otavio (18), Jones (62), Doria (74)] Norwich (H) W 3-1 [Jese (pen 41), Young (73), Chicharito (76)] Everton (A) W 3-0 [Kagawa (12), Young (27), Otavio (55)] Hull (A) W 1-0 [Nani (32)] Community Shield Capital One Cup Champions League Overall I'm really happy with how we're doing on all fronts and only having the one loss!

tottivillarossi Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just finished my first season. 1st in the League. Incredibly, we won 18 of our first 20 games and had an 11 point lead by January. However, our form wobbled in the second half, with losses away to Chelsea, Cardiff, Everton and a home loss to Stoke. We managed to hold on, though, and secured the league in Week 37. Our final loss came on the last day of the season, away to Swansea, when I let my girlfriend play the match. She lost 1-0, so I'm not sure if she has a future in management. Got to the 1/4 finals of the Champions League. We beat Real Madrid, but Bayern Munich beat us 1-3 at Old Trafford to send us out after a first leg 0-0. The final will be Chelsea vs Arsenal. Got to the 1/2 finals of the League Cup. An aggregate 0-0 score against Man City sent us to penalties, and we lost. Lost in the 6th round of the FA Cup to West Brom. This is how Januzaj has progressed for me. I got Kagawa to tutor him, an experience that went so well that me and Shinji are now the only listed people in his favoured personnel. He's played surprisingly well on the left wing when used as an AP, with him and David Alaba consistently linking up very nicely. He also won Goal of the Season with a header from the edge of the box. Smalling won the Players' Player of the Year. His value has absolutely sky-rocketed. Found a nice wonderkid I'll be trying to sign! The squad needs a big reshaping. Evra and Ferdinand are definitely set to leave, I'm hoping Giggs will retire and Carrick wants a new contract but his agent doesn't want to hear it. I'm hoping I can offload some of the players who were consistently poor for me, like Rooney, Nani and possibly Hernandez. Cleverley has improved considerably over the season; I'm considering keeping him to see how much further he can actually develop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfers in: Eder Balanta - £11m Ander Herrara - £15m Outs: Young - £1m to Everton Anderson- £7.25m to AC Milan Buttner - £2m to Rubin Kazan Macheda - £1m to Brighton I did try to get other CM's before going for Herrara but they either went to other clubs or were more than I was willing to pay.
