If proper experimentation results show that the Shadow Striker Special Ability provides no advantage in terms of performance on the pitch, then we can say that it is just there for the visual effect.

I believe live animation is just a visual effect. I just won the treble with live animation off since the start of the season. The game is pretty much basic but still I can understand its all those myths that keep it interesting
