Changing player's bio. improves his performance?

Does it? I bough some 18yrs old Chinese dml, quality 29, he was performing really bad, few games in a row 5-6-5-6... Then I changed his bio. to Ashley Cole, nationality English. Suddenly he started to perform much better, 7-8-8-7, he also scored few free kicks in those few games and he doesnt even has special ability...
After this I bough some 18yrs old Indonesian I think, defender, immediately changed his bio. to John Terry and set his nationality to English, he performs really good, mostly 8, rarely 7-9.

Are players from top leagues performing better than Chinese, Indonesian etc.?

Some other managers on here have said this so maybe it does help!, Im sitting on the fence here, it could be just coincedence but if it helps you by changing a players bio then keep doing it!.

This has happened many times so I think it cannot be a coincidence...

This has happened with me too. I bought a STRIKER who was getting 5,6 rating then I changed his name to Cristiano Ronaldo and then he got mad, scoring and assisting in every game...

There can be one more reason for this. A player needs some matches for settling in. So the initial matches when a player get bad rating can be his settling matches but by this time we get frustrated and do some experiments, one of which is changing Name and Nationality.

Since now the player has settled he tends to get good rating and we think that our experiment has worked, which is not the case...:)...

And that's why I still didnt change my dmr's bio, he has like 15 games already played for my club and his overall performance is awful. 15 games is enough for him to settle I think and I'll change his bio exactly now!

I'll be back with the results tomorrow :)

Please do post the results...So that we can dig deeper into the theory of Player Name vs Performance...

If we forum members can contribute like this then we will be able to under stand the game better...:)...

Hi bud, may I suggest you wait for about 5 days then come back as one game is not enough! you need a few at least to compare against?.It will really be intersting to se how it goes!.

I;ve changed nationalities a few times to English, Portuguese and even to Cristiano Ronaldo just to sell the player. It has not improved his stats. I believe you just so happened changed their names right at the point where the performance cycle is reversed.

I've had dud Englishmen, Spanish players and Italian players and I have Malaysian/Indonesian players who outperform their English counterparts.

@Skidz, he will play 4 games until I post tomorrow, that will be enough I think...
@Others, u're probably right, this could be luck... let's wait and see how will Kimoura/Lahm perform in next 4 games... in last 15+ he was getting 5-6 mostly

I renamed my whole first team yesterday changing Nationalities too where required....................

............and went down 3-0 at home, slumping to 3rd in the league.

I was hoping that I'd see the following in glorious coloured text "Johnstone jinks down the right, inside to Souness, across to Bremner, who slips it out to Baxter, Baxter dribbles and crosses to Law who knocks it down to Dalglish. Thumping volley into the top corner for King Kenny!" Never happened. ;)

How about "Beckenbauer cuts inside; He skips past one, then another, only one to beat, a timely pass to van Basten! *blink* *blink* Goal! *blink* *blink*...

Oh right, that was mine... ;)

Btw, I renamed only those who were consistent performers... :)

IF this is the truth I really doubt it depends on names, its bcs of nationalities. IF.

I have changed my entire team but, that was for personal preference!, Tottenham pasted and presence but I rarely pay any notice to his stats.

And i changed names so I get a better view of who's who. And once i changed some vietnamese strikers name into "Zlatan Ibrahimovic" He have stats that is not normal. More goals and assists than games played.

If this is true it can only be because of Name not Nationality...

Because there are too many players with same Nationality...Some of them perform good while others are DUD...:)...

Hmm, just realised my mistake. I renamed my players while sitting and favouring my left bum cheek when, clearly, it should've been the right. Silly me. :(

It's just a coincidence. Players have a poor game once in a while.

I'm not really a fan of real players names tbh... I tend to go with funny names or fictional names and turn them into legendary players at my club.

Bwahahaha... Lmao :)
I'm eager to see the result lol

I've often wondered tho, if having players from ur home country helps, I know my local guy performs like a boss, maybe I should try changing the nationality of 1 of the less performant guys on my team and see what happens..

It didn't fail...you disproved it! :) Good work.

However, I have read many comments from managers who disagree and have one friend who does this religiously, as he's convinced it makes a difference. Having only done it once myself and he was still dog poo afterwards...

To be honest, seems a frivolous use of precious tokens!
