Through weekly trainings (Sunday starts a new week of training but there is no training available on match days), FIFA 20 allows you to train up to five players at once. Each training allows you to select the player you want to train, as well as the drill you want him to perform in order to enhance their attributes:
What is player development in FIFA 20?
Player development in FIFA 20 is as an interactive performance-based system that combines stick skills (training drills) with short and long-term planning. Mix in some RPG ingredients and there’s enough to keep most people busy.
What is a sporadic player in FIFA 20?
Sporadic – This is for a player who does not expect to be in the first 11 very often, but rather plays periodically. Prospect – This is usually reserved for young players trying to gain experience before eventually cracking the first 11. Form – Unfortunately, there isn’t a true definition of “form” as it applies to FIFA 20.
How many players can you train in FIFA 20?
Unlike PES where you have three options to choose from, FIFA gives you player training for both senior and youth academy players within the same mode. Through weekly trainings (Sunday starts a new week of training but there is no training available on match days), FIFA 20 allows you to train up to five players at once.
What makes FIFA 20 different from other games?
Press conferences were purely cosmetic prior to this year, but FIFA 20 incorporated a few interactive cutscenes in addition to being able to highlight key players, thus impacting their morale either positively or negatively. Furthermore, EA also incorporated a man management system as managers can now interact with players through text messages.
How many players can you train in FIFA 20?
Through weekly trainings (Sunday starts a new week of training but there is no training available on match days), FIFA 20 allows you to train up to five players at once. Each training allows you to select the player you want to train, as well as the drill you want him to perform in order to enhance their attributes:
What does a player's attribute rated between 1 to 5 mean?
A player’s attribute rated between 1 to 5, which specifies the shot power and ball control for the other foot of that player versus his preferred foot. The higher rate defines the higher shot power and ball control. For example, if a FIFA player’s preferred foot is right, his weak foot will be left.
What is squad role?
Squad Role – In a nutshell, squad role is how much game time the player can expect. This falls more under the contractual side of things, but the role you select impacts player morale (more on player morale shortly). There are four options to choose from: 1 Crucial – This is for a player who expects to play every match except when it comes to injuries/suspensions. 2 Important – This is for a player who should be featured in nearly every match with the occasional rotation. 3 Sporadic – This is for a player who does not expect to be in the first 11 very often, but rather plays periodically. 4 Prospect – This is usually reserved for young players trying to gain experience before eventually cracking the first 11.
What is skill move in FIFA 20?
Skill Moves – A special input-dependent move set on a 1-5 star level with 5 being the highest. Unfortunately, you cannot train skill moves in FIFA 20 within career mode. Weak Foot – A player’s foot (left or right) that is weaker than their preferred foot.
What are player traits?
Player Traits – Traits are characteristics that are used to give players unique skills, styles and behaviors. Both the human and AI can have traits, although there are some traits that are unique to the AI. Player traits are EA’s idea of helping to add personality to players. For example:
What trait is more likely to take long shots?
CPU AI: A CPU AI-controlled player with this trait will be more likely to try and take long shots when running with the ball, and they’re more likely to try long volley shots.
What is the work rate of a player?
Player work rate is the rate of a player’s behavior on the pitch in terms of attacking and defensive works. The work rate is defined for attacking (attacking work rate, abbreviated as AWR) and defensive (defensive work rate, abbreviated as DWR), and they are rated between low, medium and high.
Does game time boost player growth?
It was also apparent that game time alone cannot boost player growth, but it’s likely that player form would affect this. Players in good form seem to get bonus growth points at the start of each month. Finally, although trained players are better off overall, some of their attributes will suffer.
Does stamina affect strength?
Stamina seemed to be positively affected, again because it can actually be trained. It was interesting that Agility and Strength are positively affected when you train youth players. Strength is a highly sought attribute, common knowledge suggested that strength would suffer from training.
Is FIFA career mode based on numbers?
While FIFA career mode is a game based on numbers, it’s common to hear anecdotal evidence. You’ll often hear that when you train youth players, it negatively impacts their physical attributes. While we would agree with this anecdotally, we wan’t to see if the numbers supported that theory. We pulled together the data for ...
Streamers are bad for this game
Now I used to enjoy FIFA streamers however each year they have increasingly gone over the top with pack openings, I used to enjoy watching them play games, the weekend league and so on but I just so happened to click on AA9Skills yesterday and of course, its a road to ronaldo and he had just packed Salah.
Unfortunately, this good gameplay won't likely last for long
I was just watching Boras' stream from yesterday and am very surprised with who used to be the only popular FIFA streamer I could tolerate.
Experiment
Players
- Here are the twelve youth academy players we used for this experiment. For each one we’ve included all relevant high level information about them.
Outcome
- Here are the key findings after three seasons. 1. Fernando Monzon – 74 OVR (+8) without training, 81 OVR (+15) with training. 2. Brahim Tagmaoui – 69 OVR (+14) without training, 76 OVR (+21) with training. 3. Idris Selmi – 77 OVR (+12) without training, 80 OVR (+15) with training. 4. Jamal Saber – 66 OVR (+11) without training, 76 OVR (+21) with tr...
Growth
- We did notice that certain players were growing faster than others, across both saves. This was interesting, but we came to a fairly obvious hypothesis. The larger the gap between current overall rating and potential, the faster that player will have to grow. Assuming that most youth players are around 18, they have lets say 10 years to hit their peak. A player with 55 overall and 85 potential …
Appearances
- Another assumption we’ve always had is that giving youth players game time is a good way to help them grow. Because we also recorded the number of appearances each player made, we were able to plot these against the number of growth points. As this blog is about whether or not to train youth players, we separated the data from each save and created two graphs. Because t…
Attributes
- This was one of the key areas we were interested in. While FIFA career mode is a game based on numbers, it’s common to hear anecdotal evidence. You’ll often hear that when you train youth players, it negatively impacts their physical attributes. While we would agree with this anecdotally, we wan’t to see if the numbers supported that theory. We pulled together the data for the outfiel…
Conclusion
- So, what did we learn from this? Most obvious and expected was that training helps youth players grow more quickly. Secondly, we learned that player growth is faster when there is a significant difference between their overall rating and potential, provided they have years left to ‘peak’. It was also apparent that game time alone cannot boost player growth, but it’s likely that player form w…
Should I Train Youth Players?
- Our answer is that it depends. If you only ever sim games, then the positives of training outweigh any negatives. Also you’re fine to train youth players if you only intend on raising their OVR and selling them for profit. If however, you’re a purist and play every game, you might want to avoid it altogether or manage it very carefully. The findings in this blog do seem to support the theory th…
