The Importance of "Consistency"

My English proficiency is not very good. Please allow me to use ChatGPT to translate the content before posting it on your forum. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to point them out.

I have identified 11 players through the "Meta" attribute and conducted friendly matches against the U21 team. I repeatedly used SL to obtain data and conducted statistical analysis.

Without modifying the Consistency attribute, I conducted 200 matches and obtained the following data: 79 wins, 43 draws, 78 losses.

These are the results obtained under the complete dominance of the "Meta" attribute, which did not meet the expected outcome. I believe many have experienced this situation and referred to it as "Meta Attribute Not Effectively Reflected in the Game".

However, after setting all the Consistency attributes of the players to 20, I conducted another 100 matches and observed significant changes in the results.

The win rate reached 53%, with an undefeated rate of 70%.

The only variable in these two sets of data was adjusting the Consistency attribute to 20.

I understand that my testing method may not be rigorous, and the sample size may not be sufficient. However, we can tentatively draw a conclusion: the Consistency attribute significantly impacts the outcome of the matches.

This has been my suspicion after playing FM for a number of years.

I'm hoping to see some testing done to different levels of consistency.

As it stands, I stay away from any players who have any level of inconsistency, especially since this attribute is so difficult to raise in game.

The same goes for players 22 and over who dislike big matches, which is pretty much just inconsistency under a different name.

I also stay away from any players who are injury prone, since this can have an adverse long term impact on their ability to develop.

Anyway, I'd love to see studies on this.  If somebody shows that there is a certain level of inconsistency that is acceptable, I'll start signing those really fast young players who are extremely inconsistent.
