Playstyles - do they make a difference?

I realise this is a long term question, especially as it's going to take a few weeks to even unlock playstyles let alone build them up to Advanced or Master. But do you think playstyles actually make a difference to the outcome of games, or are they just another largely cosmetic feature in Top Eleven?

It's very early days, but from the few matches I've played and the two players I have with unlocked playstyles, I don't see any difference in their performance or what they do in the games. There doesn't appear to be any new animations that show off specific playstyle moves and I've seen my attackers drift past opponent defenders with active playstyles just like before.

My initial impression is that playstyles are likely to be another small contributor to the overall game engine and likely have a small impact on the outcome of games, like a lot of things in this game to be fair. Like special abilities, they're largely cosmetic, but hopefully do contribute in some small way to the calculation that determines the outcome of games.

Probably there is a difference and to see it you need to play 1000+ matches. I asked a similar question here https://forum.topeleven.com/top-elev...ifference.html. As a result, in the last game with this team, I won and took first place in the league. All these "white skills pumping", special skills, team bonuses give a small difference of 1-5%, and therefore seem to be cosmetic.

If you watch the live match, you know when playstyle is in effect. It works just like the speciality, small icon shows up on the player with his playstyle. I feel the frequency of playstyle coming in effect is more often than speciality though. Playstyle have 3 levels, standard, intermediate, and master. I believe it will make quite an influence in the game once a player reaches master level.

My concern is if playstyle can influence the counter formations as we know. I'm guessing it does, especially with master level. But then any high quality player could play beyond counter formation trap.

The differences might be more noticeable at higher playstyle levels. It was free to unlock standard and only 300 points so can’t expect much. Or maybe they nerfed it temporarily so ios users don’t get eliminated unjustly from their cup tournaments or lose important league matches.

I still dont know but it could be that it would be same model as boost lab. To go futher you need to pay ;).
It's fine that it triggers much more than special abilities but what it do - there is a mystery. And probably nordeus do not give an answer like usually.
For example wing back playstyle only triggered on defense but what was the effect - i dont know

I hope these new skills provide us more alternatives in the game.
I hope it is not a pay to win...

Be aware that Personal trainer use will not add any Playstyle points. Only normal training, matches played and rewards will count.

Yes they do as far as I Sam concerned. I have realized some tweaks animations wise as well in the recent games. Animations are not totally robust anymore. Accordingly to a playstyle, players hold the ball by their feet a bit more to provide the position to the playstyler to have him finish the job.

It's getting more and more complicated and confusing. Next they might add a cheerleaders module, whoever pays to get the cutest cheerleaders to cheer on the team gets a 2% advantage.

atm you will see no difference. wait til you fully maximize the playstyle then we can talk.
and i don't think 1 fully maximize playstyle player can do the difference to other team. well i might be wrong.
this question will be in KIV and be answered by end of season, or next month or few months later.

Can you train playstyle to a player in youth academy? I don't see any info about this anywhere.

Does normal training now only improve playstyles and not players attributes?

What attributes? Do you even play the game?

It's not clear at the moment, but I suspect it will be random like all other allocations of playstyle. We may know more when this seasons youth players are available to be trained

Normal training now give playstyle points as well as the usual increase in players skills... it's an addition rather than a replacement

for youth academy there'll probably have no playstyle tab under 17yo player but as soon as you get it the next season/month the highest % youth player you have will include playstyle.

or they'll give it randomly if you have 4youth player; i hope this is not the case, if it is then the only way to minimize this loss is to only pick 1 out of 8 youth players.

Player skills you moron. The word have too many letters for you. Don't reply again.

Attributes and skills are different words to educated people. They mean the same to fools with low IQ.

I really hope this is the case. Imagine the non important youth academy player gets it instead..

lol you insult him but your question is actually more stupid than his answer, if you played the game and pay just a bit of attention you would see that your question is redundant

i do that deduction based on everyone's highest youth player this season get a playstyle.
but tbh my lower % 19yo have more playstyle points atm because i keep training him since he's just 4* early on, now he's 6* and automatically be in startin11,
last season he's just a reserve. and almost unlock intermediate already 3/4 of standard 1500 points..

How many greens do you spend?

My 6 and 7 young players did not have the playstyle. The unique one is the worst, 4*

The question:
Dl/dr have playstyles fullback or wingback. But player without playstyle is what? I mean dl/dr by default are fullbacks or wingbacks they dont need to be special. It's up by manager what role they gonna play.
So what role dl/dr plays without playstyle :D?

I have 6 playstyles unlocked. The one that was already unlocked at the start is growing more quickly than the rest, he is 19. But I have a very good AMR with lowest % among the starting 11, but is the best scorer in the team and he is 26yo, he is gaining playstyle points more quickly than other younger players, 18,19, 21. ​

I feel more playstyle points are given to good performers and maybe to fast trainers? I don't think age is the most important factor here.

IMO

Before, Mc runs and bring the ball forward, no visual, nothing pop up.
Now, Mc runs and bring the ball forward, mezzala icon will pop up.

same as winger, also ST if they can hit the ball, no matter if he scores or no, an icon will be triggered

so no difference in gameplay, but visual improvements yes.

The difference between SA and PS, SA will pop if the players succeed doing something, like giving assist, goals, clear the ball etc. and for PS, no matter what, it will triggered if the player doing something extra, like runs with the ball, hit the target etc.

And that "extra" is something "normal" before PS update.

I don't believe Nordeus spent so much salaries and time creating so many playstyles with no actual difference on the ground. SURE GOT DIFFERENCE!

Same as a giraffe with a long neck, the long neck is meant to eat leaves from the tall trees.
