Question about SA: Free Kick

[kynan]

I find that not all players really play well with a SA.

For example I have two players in my squad that have free kick SA.

One of them has a ridiculously good record of scoring from free kicks - he's almost like a David Beckham clone with a dead ball. The other, well he needs like 10 attempts to get it in.

SA are not useful...They hardly make any difference and cost a lot of skill points...It will be much better if you assign the skill points rather than training him SA...

That Ill do. Thanks!

SA is ONLY useful when the player is already good at that role as it adds % to the current ability.

Some people think it adds a * worth rather than a %.
Obviously if it's a * then the higher up the levels you go the less effect it would actually have, whereas 10% will always be 10%.

I believe it is a star's worth, so yes percentage wise it becomes less of an advantage in higher levels.
But then, as it can still be an advantage, it might be worth having even that little edge.

Before I fret about how much difference it makes I'd rather know what it makes a difference to...just a simply little useful tooltip edit would do.

It could be a star worth, but if it is then it is only useful for one level unless he maintains the star next season. But given that I have a CK taker who is always providing assists from corners (3 stars, Level 9 team & 5 star, Level 10 team), I like to think it's a %, coz then it would make sense.

But again, the point is that, someone who consistently misses penalties will not be an overnight PK specialist if you just slap a SA on him. So to a certain extent, I stress on "certain extent", the SA is cosmetic unless you create one yourself after gauging your player's ability without the SA.

I'd be more inclined to think its a constant +%age - devs seem to like that style of buffing because it gives a guaranteed minimum.

But no idea if that fits with T11 cos I don't know if there is any scaling taking place on 1* players relative to higher ones.
