Confused about some traits

I'm confused about some of these traits. I wanna upgrade done players and I banked a gods amount of XP. But idk what some traits are.

Like Change Perdictability trait. What is this?

I could be mistaken but the Consistency trait works in levels right?

And when I'm looking at the player card in his traits section it looks like you can scroll down for more for certain players but it wont let you...

Re: Confused about some traits

I know the Traits are listed when you view a Player's card, things like:

Covers Ball: YES/NO
Fight For Yards: YES/NO
Clutch: YES/NO

and so on will be listed. Obviously, if they possess that trait then it YES, and NO if they don't have that trait. That's about as far as I can help out though, because I've been have some questions about this as well.

I'm assuming that these Traits really only matter in simmed games? I don't see how having the Consistency Trait will help me out when I'm playing a game. Let me know if I'm wrong though.
Also, if they only really matter for simmed games, have any of you noticed any difference once you purchase any of these Traits for your players? Just because I don't want to spend XP on traits and have it be a waste, when I can be improving something else.

Re: Confused about some traits

The predictability trait seems to be related to the contract offers once a players contract is up, which will give you an idea of what they decide to do.

Consistency affects your confidence, as well as hot streak-cold streak potential. A high consistency trait may stop your player going cold streak.

You're correct, while there is a scroll down option available (mostly shows the confidence rating ) it seems to be bugged where you can't scroll it down.

Re: Confused about some traits

Does anybody know if there is a consolidated list somewhere of what all the traits are and how they effect simming and/or in-game abilities?

It seems like a thing that would naturally be in the manual but it doesn't seem to be...

Re: Confused about some traits

Confused as well some players don't have certain traits.

Some players don't have developmental traits aka Julio Jones

Why is it that my ROLB have the traits for swim,power, and spin moves however my other lbs don't

Wondering how much confidence plays apart in games. What about the one where the receiver stays in bounds

Another one i'm curious about is play ball in air. Should i even set it to conservative or keep it at aggressive. IDK

Re: Confused about some traits

I can figure out the Traits that are YES?NO traits. But what about the ones for the QB like "Sense Pressure" "Force Pass" or "Throw Ball away? Seems like Simulation related Traits.

The Perdictability trait and contract negotiations seems like it would make sense.

I wish they were more clear on the definitions for the Traits. Cuz I have searched high and low and can't find many answers

I agree with you, i have a QB on CCM and I don't think most of these apply to to players actually controlling a QB but more simulation.

I guess I will just purchase them just for the heck of it. Otherwise I will be banking my XP for nothing.
