POTENTIAL ABILITY DROP

[supervasu]

I bought many players(:d with some cheating tools) and after few weeks they drop at their potential ability .
ex from 82 to 78. i got 4,5 and 5 stars on training( i know dont bother to tell me) problem i think it is an inapropriate module of training( of course on very high) .
some sugestions so that PA dont drop and remanin on initial value?

Once you've started a game, PA doesn't change. Fact.

this can be come down to number of factors:- not essentially training but Tutoring can help/hinder your players PA, also match practice (competitive matches).

I suggest every 2 months, set up 3 friendlies and play your youth prospects with your squad rotational players and give them challenging games, eg. teams of better rating, check out the ranking etc. this is one thing that might help- also your trainign facilities can be devastating for your players potential and can make your players potential decrease straight away as your facilities don't allow him to progress.

So I suggest Friendlies + Upgrade Facilities and possibly look at Tutoring but be very selective, try to match playing styles and personality


​Hope this helps

CA yes , PA no !

CA yes , PA no !

All I was trying to say it that they will never reach their potential if the right facilities and training (including match practice) aren't in place

From what i know & through the use Genie Scout tool, CA changes but PA remains constant. Unless your editor changed these values without you noticing

I dont think it is entirely true that PA doesn't change. I've never noticed it before in any other version of fm but in this one, particularly if a player in his late 20's gets injured his PA does seem to decline.

I lost Cabaye in a Newcastle game for 3 months and according to my ass man, who had 20 for both judging PA and CA, his PA was 4 stars before he got injured and when i checked him on his return from injury this had gone down to 2.5 stars. And this was definitely PA because his CA was 4 stars also and that went down with it. He was only 28 at the time i couldn't believe it.

I brought him back into the side and managed to get CA & PA back up to 3 stars but no more. I have noticed it with a lot of other players too.

PA definitely does change in-game!!!

The star ratings are merely a comparison with the rest of your squad. If your squad improved (young players improving or a major signing) then the star ratings will change to reflect this. It's all relative, Scott Sinclair would be 5 star at a team like Crawley, but only 2 or 3 stars at Man Utd.

The PA rating seen on the editor (a number out of 200) will never change.
