Playing on level 2. Got a five star player who became six star after training - but his game scores are 4 or 5 while my lower quality players get 7's and 8's. Health, morale, condition are all fine. Can anyone help me understand what may be going on here? Thanks.
Have you tried him in a differrent position?, was the player a hot prospect ot scout? If not, thers your awnswer! , you bought a dud.
Thanks. "Dud" sounds like the answer. Didn't know the game had them; any way to tell who they are, or is it just bad luck to buy one?
Just bad luck :(Quote:

You can call it bad luck I suppose, I dont get many as I onlly buy hot prospects or scouts!, having said that I would think there are good players in the auction that good but maybe not many!, the thing to look for is the price of the player!, if there are say two 5* players around the same age and skill set but one player is 3 or 4 million more then you know that he is a good player and the other one is a gamble buy!., what position is your player and how old is here?, another thing to try is play him the side he kicks the ball with(left foot left), you will see quite quickly how he progresses whether he is good or bad!, this does not apply to scout players as they play good a season or two then have an average one then come good again so with them you have to be patient.
Dud is always possible if he was cheap. Tactics can play a part too - sometimes 1 or more MCs might slump in a game played all down the wings. If he had cards or a big mistake give him another chance.
(I've got a DL/DC that I tried to move out wide - major slump - he's back in the middle now and performing again.)
Why talking about Hot Prospect? It only means the age from 21-23 in transfer market (filter) same as 18-20 is Youngster. Scout is quality between 6* and 7*.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
The reason why Hot Prospects can be attractive, the $$ value is good, and often their numbers have already been adjusted.
When players are generated the attributes Defense, Attack, and Physical are all pretty much the same, with a couple points more on their primary skill. Some perform quite well, but many need more training and applying points before you get the best out of them. And the kicker is five star and Scouts train slowest so if they don't perform it can take longer since they train slower.
It does not mean, that at all!, hot prospects are players that are likely to be good players, I know this because I have had many of them! There age will always be low as they are what it says they are players witj potential!, they just don't have a special ability! There like the step between players and scout!, a 3-4 * hot prospect would do better than a 5* plain player!, that is the reason they have a high price.Quote:

Just age filter. Prove me wrong.
You keep telling yourself that !!!, I'm really not bothered, experienced means a player who has been around abit and has got some skills, but his training will be slowing down, I have not won the last 8 league titles for nothing!, you do not know what yor talking about!.
I do not know what I'm talking about. You see for yourself in transfer market.
I know full well what it says, you are just miss understanding it!, anyway I don't care what you think!, I guess you have never had many hot prospects?.
Let's not argue, but the TL does call one of the age brackets 'Hot Prospect', and too it is a term for players with good potential.
What is for sure is that when you select that on the Transfer List, you get players of a certain age.
It has no bearing on their Quality level or potential, that you have to determine by looking at individual players.
So i have a 22 man squad full of youngers or hot prospects?
They are all btw 18-20 except a few who's 21-22.
How long will it take before they reach their potential?
I always buy those expensive ones since i believe the price is a hint of comming quality and how fast they train.
I bought a young DC in season 1 who was a 18 and a quality of 22. Now he is 19 years old and quality 30.
It isnt smart to only buy young players as i have done, right?
I did win 1st season's league. And i lead my league and CL group right now + i am still in the cup.
But it feels like my youngsters could do better than they do.
Cat I have had a lot of hot prospects and they have all been fast trainers, that can not just be a coincedence.
Some players just suck really bad. I had a ST last season that was scoring less goals than some of my defenders. xD
But you buy the highest value don't you? I mean in the transfer list, the most expensive? Nordeus Gens? They train fastest (on average) of that category, or within any bracket actually. (Which isn't to say you can't buy ducks that are expensive.)Quote:

I have Dudley Dolittle, ST for sale. This 26Q Hotprospect was joined by his 3* colleague in attack to relieve the pressure of being a lone striker and fix his goal drought. Guess who scored 2 and who was still left firing blanks. >.<
