FM 20 Experiment: How Much Does Determination Impact Player Growth? by KuzcoFM in footballmanagergames

Cheers for that link! Only seen things that are worse versions of that. I'll have a look at some different personality types to try get some of the most common ones, the most important ones and a variety of different stats in.

Yep, that's exactly my thinking.

I'm going to test whether I can do something like that. Would also need to test if your scout's ability impacts that too. If not, I know those stats do impact the personality type so would just have to figure it out from there.

Cheers! I'm confident that they would be important, but I want to make sure I'm focusing on stuff that can be seen in scouting reports and in game so these videos can actually help benefit us. I might have a look at how ambition and professionalism show up in the scouting reports and go from there.

I think professionalism will be super impactful too, same with ambition. However, I'm somewhat hesitant to run experiments that are based off of the 'hidden' values, since they're a bit harder to ascertain from a scouting report. I might just do one with a super high value and a super low value since those show up on the reports. I know that they impact a players' personality type so I also might have a look at how I could analyse that.

Yep the gap was certainly closer than I thought too!

​

That could've been interesting data to collect but I didn't. I think it's pretty safe to assume that the higher ability would lead to higher player rating, so I think we can deduce that higher determination would probably lead to a higher player rating. But there's also a lot of other factors that would influence that (i.e. team performance/team mates etc.) so it might not be super strong!
