as a lifelong novice in FM, I'm amazed by such dedication to testing things out and understanding how the game works.
Reading your post, I'm failing to understand something : - you are testing if an attribute not underlined as important for a role actually has an impact, by making it a relative weakness, restricting the ability of the player to "get there". However, you are testing that in a much more granular context than just the role in itself: the tactic ie. If feel like not everything is taken in account.
My question : doesn't the importance of pace actually come from the tactic you set up and the opponents you've faced?
I'm sure that everybody is aware that each role has highlighted attributes.
Almost every FM player zealously follow the highlighted attributes of the roles and that seems quite logical because why wouldn't you follow it? The game tells you what attributes are important for the roles... of course, you trust the game.
As it can be seen on the screenshots "Pace" attribute isn't highlighted for both roles.
So the game tells us "Pace" is nothing for Mezzala and Defensive Midfielder roles and other attributes such as Decisions, Off The Ball, Technique and other are much more important and they are key attributes for the roles.
Ok, let's trust to the game and do what it suggests us to do, we reduce the Pace attribute to "5" and relocate the freed CA to other attributers Decisions, Off The Ball and Technique which according to the game, are the key attributes for the roles and much more important than the Pace attributes.
Please note, it's very important that after the relocation the CA hasn't changed it's stayed the same(147CA), we just relocated it from "Pace" attribute to Decisions, Off The Ball amd Technique attributes which according the game, are more important for the roles than "Pace" attribute.
(...)
I guess, now it should be clear that the star ratings of the roles and the highlighted attributes are not just useless but can be misleading.
We can only question why SI decided to design the game this way.
I haven't been able to find what are the Default attributes.
Is it documented somewhere ?
Cheers
