Player Growth

They also stated that growth will be effected by playing time, and the quality they're playing against. So, if a player sits on the bench, they will not get better just because they have high potential. I can't seem a better way for them to do this; if it actually works like it's supposed to.

Ok well that makes more sense. I was thinkin the player ratings were gonna change the same way regardless of how well u play with that player or how often u play that player.. but this way is actually how i was hopin it would be. So ..

In MM mode, does your player's name in red mean he is fatigued? Because i just started a MM and haven't even played 1 game yet, but i have certain players names in red, some in green and i think blue. Im assumin its the fatigue but can someone clarify this for me?

Haven't messed with MM yet, but I'd guess that's player form. If you've played the WE/PES series, think of that like the arrow system -- red is top form, green is neutral, blue is poor form. Attributes will change accordingly and EA stated with the new patch that physical attributes will not change with form.

Alrite thanks for the heads up. MM is just so deep now that i get confused/lost. Last Fifa i played was Fifa 07 on Ps2... a lot has changed since then lol.

That's great news. The new growth & development system sounds soooo much better than what we've had the last few years.

I think the new system sucks. My keeper has 4 clean sheets in a row and his form goes down, what the fvck is that? I saw nothing wrong with the old system, I would rather assign EXP where I see fit, OVR are now meaningless.

Form is seriously messed up. All players are on orange downward arrow 75% of the time.

Player growth on the other hand is much better. It doesn't allow manual growth anymore so you can't just tank certain stats like finishing and speed. Also, they develop at a much more realistic rate and it depends on their age and potential.

After playin MM a lil while longer i pretty much understand it now. There actually isn't any players names in blue.. my bad about that. Its green, white and red. Green means they're playin well, White is neutral and Red means they're playin bad. It is a little weird though, i had Jozy Altidore in a slump so his form went down, but i've scored a goal with him 2 of my last 3 matches but his form still hasn't gone up yet. Idk maybe thats not enough for his form to go back up or sumthing..
