Once you've started a career there is no way to find development curve information from within manager mode, but for players that are assigned to teams at the start of a career you can use Team Management > Edit Player and scroll down to the bottom of the supporting attributes list where you will find Player Growth.SC sXe;2438779 said:Where do you find the development curve for players on your team?
The alternative is to use a third-party tool that reveals that information, which at the moment limits you to DB Master, UniDB and any other database level editor that has been updated for (or already worked with) FIFA 08. My own EAFFAnalyser includes that information in the CSV output but the FIFA 08 version is still in beta testing.
Whilst leagues do have a prestige level, just as teams do, that you cannot see, I don't believe that that factors into transfers. The reason that player's overall ratings drop in lower leagues is simply that the players aren't as good - a player with identical primary attribute values at Man U to a player at Dagenham & Redbridge will have the same overall rating. The reason that their value drops is that team prestige factors into the player value calculation.pernunz;2439154 said:it seems that each league has a hidden rating, because as you search lower leagues, players overall stats drop and hence prices drop
This has nothing to do with the teams or leagues involved - the same would happen if you signed those players to Accrington Stanley - but is a side effect of the match XP system. Any player signed to the manager's team gets a boost to their potential of between one and nine points (theoretically between zero and fifteen, but my observations indicate that the actual increase is between the learningspeed value and four more than that value) so if they are currently constrained by their potential then their individual attributes (and therefore their overall) will increase by up to the increase in potential.pernunz said:i searched for and bought fabregas and van persie for a combined $21M. (11M and 10M) When i bought them they're overalls rose by about 8-10 each, and values went to a combined $45M
Van Persie is definitely limited by his potential after the first season, and his potential gets boosted by seven points (I just happen to have somebody else's Arsenal career details as one of my test beds), whilst Fabregas will be capped after five seasons at 89, but he gets a boost of nine points and can then grow to 96 (yes, I know that theoretically it should be 98, but you'd only get him that high via match XP attribute boosts because of the way that physical attributes are developed along a different growth curve to skill/mental attributes)
I won't spoil your fun but I reckon you've got one that will grow into a superstar (ie. 85 or better overall), one solid journeyman (high 70s) and one relative bust (less than 70)Tawalkana;2439179 said:I found 3 that could probably help my squad out eventually(Victor Moses, Breno, Brayan Angulu) Only time will tell though.
