BAL: Special Abilities and how to gain them

[GobbleGobble]

I've seen a alot of people asking about the special abilities and how to gain them. So i thought i would make a thread about it. i know quite a few of them but feel free to either correct me or post your own.

Dribbling; Dribble accuracy, Dribble Speed, Technique. 75+
Tactical Dribble; Dribble accuracy, Technique, 80+
Reaction; Acceleration, Response, 75+
Shooting from Distance; Shot tech, Shot power, 80+
Playmaking; Short pass acc, Long pass acc, 80+
Passing; Short pass acc, Short pass speed, 90+
1-on-1 scoring; Shot acc, Shot tech, 90+
Penalties; Shot acc, 90+

Another thing.
I suppose most of you have seen the Special ability chart in a seperate thread. The chart mentions that some abilities can only be gained by a certain position. Well i started as an AMF, but can now play SS, and got the reaction ability which is meant to be for only SS and CF. So if you can play the position you can get the ability.
I can play DMF, SMF, CMF, AMF, WF and SS.
These are some hunches i have.

Side; My dribble speed is 91 and long pass acc is 95 but i dont have the ability. so i reckon you need 95 for both.

Centre; Same as above. My short pass acc is 93. so you must need 95.

Outside of boot; Mine is 84, i have seen someone with 90. so my guess is 90.

Marking; Not sure about this. I know you need Response, Top Speed, Acceleration. You need at least 80 for this as i have 90 speed, 95 acceleration and response 75 and dont have it.

Covering; Ive mentioned my top speed. stamina is 87. need 90 or 95 not sure.

The others, i do not have a clue.

As i said, post your own, and correct me where im wrong.

This is not 100 percent accurate
I have the 1vs 1 scoring ability on top player and my shooting accuracy is only 86 and so is my shot technique

I dont think it just has to do with skills...I make alot of runs into the penalty area and tap in goals from 6 yards out or so...i tihnk that had alot to do w me aquiring the ability

what i would like to know is, what is the point of the special abilities? are they just to recognise you have built up and reached a level of each attribute, or do they actually help you achieve the ability (shooting from distance for example0 on a more regular basis? i have reaction and goalscoring, but i haven't noticed a major difference when i get rebounds in the area. i also have shooting from distance, but haven't noticed a massive change in my shooting ability

i felt that after i got the playmaker ability, i got the ball alot more often as well as strikers making better runs when im in possesion. and since i got shooting from distance ive scored some really long ranged shots.

some DO have added effects.

Dribble and Tact dribble: none
Scoring: none
Reaction: none
Passing: more pass accuracy
Playmaking: Teammates make runs more often
1 on 1: easier to lob the ball
Positioning: none
Post player:none
Shot from distance: helps keep the shot down
Side & center: none, except i think you would have a higher chance of the coach putting you in either side or center position.
Penalties: higher shot acc.
1 tch pass: quicker passing, increased technique
outside of boot:maybe some added animation? increased pass acc in awkward pos
Marking: increased response?
Sliding: maybe less chance of getting red cards? more animations?
Covering: have no idea
Long throw: self explanatory

feel free to add ideas

^I believe if you have dribbling, then it becomes easier to dribble.
