free kick "favoured side"

[nikolgiorgos]

Reading some interesting comments from some forum friends who are going deeper in the game (like Khris or Buff) about testing and observing the behavior of the players, I wonder how can I get conclusions from a match like this



I wanted to test a new MC I bought this season - Rai.
I set Rai - a right foot player, in right side f-k and I set Neymar - a left foot player, in the left side f-k.
Both comments were about this wasn't their favorite side but both scored !
I had 2 of 2 successful free-kicks

* last season I also had Neymar, kicking from left side but I wasn't reading such comments.
* the other team had about the same q with mine, 5* players.

Now prove inverse places and lets see what happen LOL experimentatioon

I don't really think the foot matters. I have had right left and both feet free kick specialists and they score an equal amount of goals

Probably a commentary bug. Previously Either footed still had a wrong side. Lots of things have been 'unusual' last 7 days.

I'll set up my right footed DR to take FKs and see what happens - got limited options this season as somehow I've managed to collect 8 either-footed players.

I've set either footed player to take free kicks and then comments said it isn't his favoured position LOL

Commentaries are mostly randomly plucked from their template, so I would not read too much into it. Don't lose sleep over it.

I believe that too but my post is more for the comments.

well, I can't find some logic in experiments like that.
I did a lot of experiments about fast trainers and I found solid results, but this thing about the right players (for corners/f-k/positions) , the right foot, it's like if you have an equation x + 3Xy=24, what number is x ?

rates are random ?
injuries are random ?
skill abilities are random ?
injuries are random ?
well, it's a theory that I don't have strong arguments to confront ...
but why sometimes it has logic while others not ?
How "random" is the random ?

Either foot players still have main leg, and they use other one equally good...

Foot matters, but it's really negligible advantage... I always have high attack (+10) FK takers so the rest of the team can't match it... Player's form affects FKs more than foot...

Oh don't get me started about ratings! Rating is as random as it gets. No where else would a player who scores a winning goal get a 6 rating. And no where else can a player provide 3 assists and scores a goal not get MoM. From wht I understand, or what they want me to believe is that points are deducted from the player for each mistake (I am not sure the AI is intelligent enough, but that's besides the point), but it's definitely a weak algorithm if they can't factor in the importance of a winning goal for example.

I've come to enjoy the game as a mobile game - nothing more, nothing less. Left, right foot, ratings, results don't bug me.
