Answering our QUESTIONS again...

[John Naish]

What doesn't make sense? It is explained that special abilities kick in every time there is an opportunity (for example penalty kick). Why do you think the question is not answered?
What about Shadow Striker, One on One Scorer and Playmaker etc...Does every time a Shadow Striker shoots the SA kicks in...Does every time a playmaker passes the ball SA kicks in...And suppose we got a penalty kick then will the SA always kick in...Or out of 10 penalty kick only some times the SA will work...

Surely the answer to that is that it will raise the chances of scoring etc. - instead of every (I'm making these figures up) 1 in 4 it might be 1 in 2 that goes in. I also don't get what you want to know about the SA "kicking in". Surely if it's there then it will raise the chances of them being successful in that particular area but won't guarantee it every time - how would you be able to say definitively whether it had kicked in or not or whether the base probability was higher than you thought?

Because the devs said when they kick in the players is treated as one star higher......

Surely if it's there then it will raise the chances of them being successful in that particular area - If this is the case then by how much a SA will raise the chances of a player being successful...

I can't find anywhere where they said that the player will be treated as 1 star higher - I'll have to take your word on that. And I seriously can't see the devs revealing how much it raise the chances - they'd probably have to put in a clause saying that it depends on other factors. In essence what you are asking them is "is it worth training an SA, or should I just apply the skill points to their defence/attack/physical and mental?" - they aren't going to give that secret away, and even if they did, they'd probably ell you it depends on several factors.

I'm not defending the answers for the sake of it, I just honestly can't see them giving a clearer answer to that question than the obvious one hey gave.

You got a link to that thread, I don't think I was ever bothered enough to read it at the time, might plough through it now if the developers have answered in it.

I tried hard but I am not able to find the question where the devs answered this...But here are the links to earlier ASK THE DEVS...

That's exactly the point. I haven't checked again with Devs, but my opinion is that of course SA works, and depending on the kind of abilities and frequency of action the impact will change. Again this is my personal opinion, but I would guess that a penalty kick would be influenced by SA quite often, but probably not 100% of passages from a Playmaker will be influenced.

Now if you want to hear specific things like: 75% of passages from a Playmaker are influenced by SA, or that a player with SA has 10% more chances of scoring a penalty that a player without that SA let me tell you that I don't see that happening, and also what would be the point?

If everyone knows that X action increases scoring chances by X% then everyone will do that!
