Chat Player's attributes doesn't match his CA

[RPA123456]

So I was revisiting some old saves I don't play much anymore. And then I saw this guy:

Look at this beast

Surely he's at least a 4 star CA player right? 

Guess again! 

Really strange, 

And my coaches don't think too highly of him either... 

 

Maybe he just has shit hidden attributes...

The coach reports are worthless. I was under the impression however that the editor information is spot on. I'd guess your player is at his absolute peak as he does look very good for a 3 and a half star player.

Tbh if we see 15 as the required amount he's not really that good, just decent in most areas and unlikely to improve.

TBF his mental and physical attributes are pretty good(18 positioning, 17 movement...) but I guess this is just what a peak 3.5 star player is like.

Speaking of stars, do they correspond to the 0-200 scale too? So for example, a 3.5 star CA could be anywhere from 120/121 to 139/140? If say his CA was 140 then I suppose his attributes do kinda match up...

Yes that's right

[RPA123456]

Hmm, but on that same save I had another CM(Toby Deane's backup) with 4 star CA and yet he seems worse than Toby who has just 3.5 stars... 

Hang on, let me see if I can grab a screenshot. 

Hmm maybe I was too harsh, he doesn't look too bad either. 

But if I'm looking strictly at their Passing, Creativity, Decisions, Movement and Positioning Toby comes out on top. 

David Victoria does have the advantage in technique though, so I'll give him that. 

Overall, I may have been wrong and Deane might just be at the peak of 3.5 stars(135-145 CA) while Victoria could be at the bottom of 4 stars(140-145 CA). Although to be fair to Victoria his PA could still be at the top of 4 stars(155-160 PA), so he might yet grow to be better than Deane.

I pay little notice to the star ratings. I have plenty of players who have anything from 2.5 stars to 3.5 stars for CA yet their attributes suggest they should have more stars.

The stars also increase / decrease based on the amount of playing time they get. For example, I have Emre Can who has fantastic attributes for a ball winning midfielder / Deep Lying Playmaker. If I play him regularly, and his average form is good, his CA star rating goes up. If I leave hiim on the bench for a while, or if he hits a poor run of form, the star rating goes down. None of this however seems to affect his actual attributes.

You're referring to the coach's star rating though - not the ca/pa stars in the editor.

That is very true.

Same, I rarely ever pay attention to the coaches report and only take a look at it to see how some of his hidden attributes could be.
