Attributes of no importance-field players/keepers

Wow. Have to say this is pretty messed up and very, very amateur. Marking and jumping don't mean anything to defenders, even though when you train "defending" these are 2 of the 4 attributes that are impacted. That's awful.

The fact that this has essentially been discovered by accident and communicated like this shows the general disdain that users of VM are held in. Don't get me wrong - I'm thankful that this has been communicated, but really this should have been communicated years ago, and by Rasmus or one of the game developers.

Assume the new game engine will mean stats are used differently? (or will we only be told 5 years down the line?!)

The real problem here is the design itself. It is extremely and unnecessarily complex.

We're working on a new system will which will render this kind of information superflous because the stats will describe themselves automatically.

As it says in the beginning

The following 4 attributes have no influence on how field players perform on the pitch:
Marking
Determination
Morale and
Jumping

That's absolutely not true. All stats impact how players perform.

If so, why has this information been given to us by a crew member?

I'm not sure. He must've misunderstood something.

I think he means they do not have an impact in particular situations, but I'm not sure.

Ok then, thanks Rasmus, good to see you helping us English peeps

Guys, guys, this wasn't an official announcement from the Virtual Manager head office, it was just a quick answer to a question during lunch.

As such, I cannot guarantee that it was 100% accurate or any where near the whole story. Afterall, it has been 4-5 years since the old match engine was made and I have forgotten tons of details since then.

When we do make official announcements, we do our homework to ensure that what we say is correct.

I hope everyone realizes that there is a huge difference between an official anonuncement and a quick answer off the top of my head during lunch.

The fact that some stats are more important than others is common knowledge - we just haven't documented all the exact details and formulas since most people won't be interested in it.

I would be very interested in the exact details and formulas. If you could mail them to me I would be very grateful.

If we had all the time in the world, we might do that and publish it, but documenting every little bit of the match engine would be incredibly complex and time-consuming. It also wouldn't make sense to most people, nor improve their enjoyment of the game, which is what we try to spend all of our time on.
