Balance stat...

What does the balance stat actually do, i.e. how can it effect a player's game?

Just a quick question

As far as I know it makes players stronger in challenges, ie. it helps holding up the ball, helps winning headers (?) etc. If you are familiar with manager games, I think PES' balance stat includes both the actual balance and strenght.

basically what scumbag said. It helps your player be more physical and doesnt fall over or get pushed about easily

I think basically it makes stumbling less likely.

So, what it sounds, it can't be too important then?
Because in another thread they are saying stuff like AMFs should take their balance stat as priority.
Is this right and y?

yes, you need to use the stat for certain players who need it, it can be key in your team building and the right players need the stat in the right areas of the field, a strong dmf like hamman or makelele is needed, someone who can protect the back four with ability to muscle out players and keep control of their balance while doing so. Well balanced defenders for jumping, every player needs it for different reasons. AMF's like Gerrard need to be strong and well balanced in the game to stay on there feet when coming up against the likes of makelele and other defensive players as AMF's will get barged about, this will apply more to real life than the game though which means making this post is pointless
