Someone once asked what is the third criteria fro strinker rankings. I would say ST (shots on target, or maybe all shots). 1st player has more shots than 2nd one.

This striker is one of the best strikers if you look at efficiency (15,44%) at the swedish 1.1 league, hos is that even possible? Im just counting the players who made alot of goals, 19+ or so so its not a small sample..

He has this skills;14 28 19 31 16 29 61 47 22 41 30 63 70 61 31 37 30 58 14

Def; 19
Mid; 16
Off; 61
Shooting; 22 (!!!!!!!)
Pass; 30
Tec; 70
Speed; 31
Heading; 30
Exp; 14


Is shooting really so unimportant? Seems that way..

Is on International forum topic where I can offer my players ?
I have couple players for TL, and I want to know what u think about price, but I don't know where to post.

His offense and tech are giving him the better chances. he is earning the opportunities and because his tech is so high he is making good shots on goal.

It doesn't matter how high your shoot is if you have low tech you are going to miss a lot of shots. Also I think Shoot and Pass attributes determine the likelihood of trying a shot or a pass. Its the tech skill that determines how well you execute all of your skills.

Seems strange to me that tec is the skill that determunes how good of a finisher a player is and not the shooting ability.

Off is, according to the guide, the skill that determines likelihood of shooting, not shoot/pass. So for me this player is a big mystery... Cant be other then shooting is worthless?

Yup, i reached the same conclusion looking at the top scorers in my league and now have a sample of 19 players. There is no difference between the scoring ratio of the players, regardless of them having 19 shooting or 89!

the 19 shooting, 67 technique player has 26/57/86
the 89 shooting, 20 technique player has 16/43/60
a 101 shooting, 32 technique player has 18/45/59
a 22 shooting, 25 technique player has 29/66/61 (quite a lot of goals for a solo skill, he only has attack, player!)



All this just confuses me and I do not know what to train for my players. I switch the training around several times a week, not having a clue what to focus on. The data shows me that training shooting doesn't really matter at the moment and that a difference of 70-80 in a skill does not result in a visible difference.. but when does it make a difference? At 150? at 200? It almost looks like some skills are wasted for some reason. That only a proportion of the skills are taken into account when calculating the match... whether this is true.. i do not know and i do not think i will ever know...

Would be nice with an official answer regarding this imo..

The way I see it:

-Attack: the higher, the more chances we get.
-Technique: the higher, the more probable we get on target our chances.
-Shoot: the higher, the more probable we score our chances on target.

i think technique influences also how theshot is taken, is the shot placed in a corner or is the shot taken rith on the goalkeeper...

Well it must be coded and I dont think you can code where in the goal the ball will go but instead goal/not goal and its based upon some code for the player vs the GK and influence by defenders I guess but as it is now, training shooting seems like a waste

This way it should be. Unfortunatly it seems they made the same mistake like in hockey the first seasons and totaly neclected shooting. It seems to me also that the engine doesnt really care about midfield. According to the guide a good midfield should be the key factor for creating chances. Neclecting the midfield and putting more forewards on the field is awarded by the engine. So 433 creates more chances than 352. Doesnt make sense to me
