The meaning of the hexagon...

[phelan]

In the formation settings screen, did you notice that hexagon thingy above the players' abilities? The one with SPD, ATT, POW and so on in the cornes? Did you ever wonder what the heck that was about?

Well, here's a breakdown of the parameters...

POW: Balance (60%)
Shot power (30%)
Jump (10%)

SPD: Dribble sp. (30%)
Acceleration (30%)
Top speed (20%)
Response (20%)

ATT: Attack (70%)
Shot acc. (30%)

TEC: Technique (35%)
Dribble acc. (30%)
Short pass acc. (10%)
Long pass acc. (10%)
Shot acc. (5%)
Free kick acc. (5%)
Curling (5%)

STA: Stamina (100%)

DEF: Defense (100%)


(Percentages are approximate)

For instance, the POW corner of the hexagon depends on the player's Balance, Shot power and Jump abilities but is most sensitive to the Balance (60%), less sensitive to Shot power (30%), and least sensitive to the player's Jump ability (10%). The STA in the hexagon only depends on the players Stamina, and so on...

These abilities do not affect the hexagon:
Agility
Short Pass sp.
Long Pass sp.
Shot technique
Header
Aggression
Mentality
Consistency
Keeper skills
Team work
Condition
Weak foot acc.
Height
All special abilities


So suppose you are looking for a CBT. Then you would focus on POW (for Balance), DEF (for Defense) and maybe SPD (for Response, Top Speed, Acceleration). If the CBT should dominate the air, also take a look at his height and Header ability.


You're welcome!

and you needed to put that in writing?

Thanks for the list but where did you get this info from? I'm not so sure that it is accurate, meaning that the marks for % don't look right for some reason.

The pct.s are right, zygalski
I created a perfect player (i.e. all stats maxed out and possesing all special abilities). This corresponds to all six SPD, POW, DEF, ... also having their maximum values.

Then I tried lowering one of the stats while keeping the others at max. For example I would have Shot acc. = 1 (minimum) and all other stats at max, and this would somewhat ruin the ATT parameter. On the other hand, putting Attack = 1 (all others at max), would ruin ATT even more, so I figured the ATT depends 30% on Shot acc. and 70% on Attack. Like I said the figures are approximate, it might be 25-75 or 40-60 instead of 30-70, but it sure isn't 5-95 or 50-50.

You could check this yourselves. If you use base copy to create an entire team of phony perfect players it really isn't much work (switch between Edit Mode and Exhibition mode to view the hexagon). You would also find that some stats - like Short Pass sp. and Height - have no influence on the hexagon.

how rude

thanks man, lot of effort you put in there i thought they were just representing what they said exactly

(def = def - boring)

and was hoping you could change them somehow

however - thanks if theyre right
