What you say perfectly proves what I mentioned is true. The game is programmed that the player could get those rating.
And those ratings are not coincident, I lose game and still get those ratings. It is pretty much impossible to have such a high average rating unless you rotate your players properly or use green packs to keep their form.
So you "name" that factor? "Unicorn fart gauge"?
Whatever, it doesn't make any difference.
I called it "motivation", it's just the word I choose, but it is definately in the program and you already know it.
My brother know it the 6th or 7th season he played, many managers too discovered the hidden stat by their own observations, they just keep it for themselves
Because, what is the merit for telling your opponents a critical game mechanic that can drasically affect the outcome of every match, if the only purpose to play is beating all your opponents?
