Predictability Trait?

[SGMRock]

I also posted this on Facebook and Twitter to see if I get a response.

Any figure this out yet? I can't seem to get answers on EA FB or Twitter.

Just a thought, if consistency controls how much your stats drop when you are on a cold streak like I have read in several places. Maybe predictability controls how often you get cold streaks. I mean if a coach has a player that is unpredictable that normally means to me that they don't know how the will perform from game to game.

That's my theory anyway. Will have to see if that is the case by watching how often guys without this go on cold streaks.

Someone asked Josh Looman on twitter about it:

@Josh_Looman i have a question about one of the traits. What exactly does predictability do to effect the player.

Josh Looman ‏@Josh_Looman
@MaddenBowl13 If a player does not have the trait, they are 'unpredictable', which means they can retire before expected, or decide to

I see, so if you have a player you want to keep you better get this trait or risk them bolting from your team it sounds like.

May not even have to do with on-field play at all. Telling EA to "explain yourself" is about the worst way to get them to explain themself. EDIT: Not only that, you've been here about 3 days with an August 2012 join date, who exactly are you to make demands of anyone at all?

You're totally right dude. The guy is new to a message board, he totally doesn't have the right to expect a quality product for his money.

Interesting... I did sim through a whole bunch of seasons as a QB and never put points in this trait... I was forced to retire after 15 season and did not get a choice in the matter... maybe i could have played more if i had put points in the predicability. I'll do another some time to figure it out
