Distribution of skill points matter?
well, let's talk first about the skills. Individuals skill of a player is just for the simulation of the game.
In Attack for example, the skills are Passing, Dribbling, Crossing, Shooting, Finishing.
But every manager of the game had a player with great success as a corner specialist, who had crossing skill less than dribbling
or had a successful free-kick specialist with Finishing/Shooting skill less than crossing.
A +-1 sp cannot give something special in a player.
Also, if it had some logic, we can see that scout list players who have those special abilities, they don't have those relative skills higher than the others.
In general, TE it's a simple program or else we could sign individually the sp to player and personalize him (as roll playing games).
Meaning give him 10 sp to crossing, make him a super corner specialist but a bad shooter or dribbler.
Of course then, it would be a different game, like the FIFA Manager pc edition (and I don't want that).
