I don't know why but developers make this game more and more disappointing. Really randomly and meanless! Khris, I see that you are looking for logic explanation for all obscenities happen in the game, but there isn't explanation and there isn't excuse for Nordeus. They killed one really good game and we have to accept this and move forward.
Nordeus never gived a explanation about Phisical & Mental attributes,and the only attribute related to the "Mental" part imo can be fitness. So Can "Fitness" be related to this player form ? Like for example, a low fitness player ( even with great stats ) is "lazy" and have rating like 8-6-6-8-7 etc.. or a player with high fitness is a hard worker and have costant rating like 8-8-9-8-9 etc
Also in training section we can see this
This is a example, my 2 players with different fitness
1
2
Just a hypothesis
“Football is born in the brain, not in the body"
I basically explain my knowledge and experience of how it was.... the how it is, is a mystery that we need to solve xD and yes... is true that we notice about changes in the players behavior and there are no news, but you know well as a old forumer that since years ago we've been asking for a more open relation with Nordeus... more direct, more influence from real managers (more when we talk of old managers stuck in high levels...) ...so we only can stay pushing...
Regarding the oscilation point I just wanted to mention that the simulation chose different players intentionally for each match, thats how it creates a variability... from the 11, 7-8 appear in the old comments (then the live animation do it's own version) and some of these 7-8 have different impact and contribution,... next match, another group of 7-8is chosen, and so...
Right now, if the ratings variation is even more wide, means that something has happenned... Im just doing observations, not justifying.
The game is stupid and those who worry about it (including me) are even more stupid. Really, results are too random, no logic at all, so why bother? Nordeus suck but yet laugh at stupid us
