Guys, i'm not sure if this is some sort of a weird bug or what!? I'm totally excited on ''discovering'' this, though!
Anyway, last night i made a new SS in bal and gave him the ''heavy tank'' mark to increase his body balance (also focused 6 pts on power, 5 on defence and 3 on dribbling). What i got was a ''poor'' SS with 85 body balance, 75 technique and everything else in the 50-70 range (a weak 53 overall). He did, however got fox in the box, long throw and speed merchant in the skill section! I've already known that focusing starting points on areas that don't bring you a high overall (defence for an attacker and such) compensates in the skill department, so that wasn't the big discovery yet..
..the incredible part was the players growth afterwards! I evenly distributed the training points among shooting, passing and dribbling (5 on each) and started to play.. what i noticed after the first training match was that the growth of the player was sensationally fast! I'm talking a fifth of the entire gauge after a match! Being aware of faster growth for low/weak attributes, i figured the growth will eventually decrease greatly upon reaching the 70-80 area..
..Nonetheless, curiosity got me thinking and i've decided to skip the entire season and observe the progress.. the result?.. the player's rating leaped to a freaking 77 by the time june was through, and i've gotten an offer from chelsea without playing a single game in the league of anywhere else for that matter!
Just skipped to the end of the third season and my 19 year old is.. well .. see for yourself:
As you can probably see, his stats are simply incredible! And he's still growing at a great pace..
I'm not saying starting and playing with a weak player like this is easy or much fun at first, but i feel the reward is insanely more than worth it!
I haven't tested it any further, so i just hope the ''downfall'' doesn't start as fast and as massive too:/
