SA has nothing but visual effect?

So I have played this game for a couple of seasons now, I have always liked the concept of Special Abilities, but have had trouble seeing any significant effect of it/them.

this season I have made a crude test of the. three players ML/AML AMC and MR/AMR. they have all played the same games, had same respective role and here is the result.

Attachment 61452
Attachment 61453
Attachment 61454
Attachment 61455
Attachment 61456

so in my honest opinion, although painful, there is No effect of Shadow Strike

don't train SA, use the ekstra 50 skillpoints on skills instead :)

Agree totally dnt really have much or effect at all. I have 2 corner specialist nt working so i assign 1 of my player with the highest rate in crossing to do it. My freekick specialist is the 1 that have highest rating in shooting and finishing.
I dont really fancy SA😃

This is another un-answered question of T11.
I 'm thinking some scenarios like
- sa gives a +1% - +5% to a player, so his talent (or not) & form is much more important..
- sa comes as an action that happening once in a while (don't know exactly but rather rare), during the match

* but it's cool and you can sell easily your players :o

I don't agree with the testing done here as it is less than scientific.

same condition, same moral, same opponents, same roles, same matches, same quality, same tactics, same matchtime .
so high reliability of the test

If SA should work, there should be a significant different in this test IMO

I had a DL with FK, who was one of the leading scorers.

My goalie with "PK stopper" stopped a PK today.

I want to believe SAs are real.

In live match you see the sa fade in and out. Say, shadow striker scores a screamer. Sometimes the icon will show above the player then fade out. Same for def wall and arial header.

Mythbusters, Nik? ;)

Take a 5* CK specialist and a 6* no SA guy with the same position (say both MCs, which shouldn't be a problem) to take the corners from each end. (Impossible for me at Level 6 to have a 54Q MC, my best MC is 47)
