Mythbusters of top eleven

Let's keep up with the facilities.
Seats of the stadium.
Many 're saying that building the seats of the stadium is useless.
Well, that's not true.
Building the seats, is like building our stadium part by part and in the final stadium, the money is the same but we 're paying little by little.
Meanwhile, we can use those extra seats we built and we can stop, to synchronizing our constructions with training or first aid (so not to interrupt the flow of the gifts we 're expecting).
This MYTH is busted - always building first the seats.

Flood lights have some effect in team performance.
That's not true.
We still can play (home or away) without building our first flood lights.
This is also has nothing to do with performance.
Table score also has none effect in the game.

[nikolgiorgos]

let's move to personal characteristics of a player
Nationality of a player has anything to do with his performance !
Well, that's only a myth.
Even if we rename our player as Messi or Ronaldo, it will be the same player, the same programming.

[nikolgiorgos]

Height of the player has some effect
meaning that a tall defender or GK or ST playing better
or generally short players have some disadvantage in the game.
Well, that's another MYTH.
The game just takes some numbers from a data bank and giving to players, depending from their position.
GK are usually over 1.90 (and you can have tall guys, good or bad performers either).
Def. some more over 1.80
MC - wingers, have a variety of heights but that doesn't affect their performance.
STs are also tall guys.
A short winger can be a successful header as a tall one. That's more depending from the form of the player or a good corner-specialist.

Right or left foot ?
Does it matter to anything ?
Use the left foot players from the left side of free-kicks or corners ?
Use the right foot MCs or STs in the right side of the center or in attack ?
Are either foot players specials ?

I 'm saying no to all of them (for some, as free-kick specialists I have examples).
It's just a cosmetic of the game. It's only the talent of the player (the good programming) or the form that matters.
but what are you saying ?

One big like for you, Nik. Many will be thankful

Distrubution of skill points matter? As in does a striker need more attacking skill points and will it improve his effectiveness? This could be tested with 2 teams. 1 team that applies skill points to their strengths (defensive players with defensive skill points, str with attack, etc...) and one team with equal distribution of skill points.

I am myself a player that uses defensive stats for defenders and attacking stats for attackers. I have been very succesfull over 18 seasons. But it doesn't prove a thing yet. Somebody else has an equally distributed team and lots of succes? That has to be a normal team without scouts.

I would be interested to understand how much the ball possession might affect the match result in case of opponent of the same level...I mean I have lost matches with more that 70% of ball possesions (due a big amount of friend and manager on the bench) against opponent of my level...

I think it is right that the attendance of friends should not affect highly the match result...but indeed it is not correct to reflect the friend attendance in a bonus in ball possesion...maybe it could be better to affect (even with an hidden parameter) the average team morale

Ok, interesting ideas but let me finished with another Myth about facilities.
"If you build it the will come"
it was a voice that Kevin Costner heard in an older movie (Field of dreams), so he built a baseball field in the middle of a corn field
After that, old baseball players came and at the end bb fans too.
But in your case they will not come. Don't be in a rush to finish earlier your constructions. You 'll not gonna have more fans,
because there is a limit for every level (http://forum.topeleven.com/groups/of...per-level.html ).
If you build your facilities without rush or delay, you 'll finish about the lv16-17. In that lv, you can have 260.000 fans who will fill your stadium (with a reasonable ticket price ).

Distribution of skill points matter?

well, let's talk first about the skills. Individuals skill of a player is just for the simulation of the game.
In Attack for example, the skills are Passing, Dribbling, Crossing, Shooting, Finishing.
But every manager of the game had a player with great success as a corner specialist, who had crossing skill less than dribbling
or had a successful free-kick specialist with Finishing/Shooting skill less than crossing.
A +-1 sp cannot give something special in a player.
Also, if it had some logic, we can see that scout list players who have those special abilities, they don't have those relative skills higher than the others.
In general, TE it's a simple program or else we could sign individually the sp to player and personalize him (as roll playing games).
Meaning give him 10 sp to crossing, make him a super corner specialist but a bad shooter or dribbler.
Of course then, it would be a different game, like the FIFA Manager pc edition (and I don't want that).
