Dear friends,
I am glad because a dream comes true for me. From now on, I will write about my favourite game in a blog, sharing my opinion with all you. In the following posts, I would like to introduce you some things, which I believe every FM2012 player should know.
The first thing I would like to share with you is what CA and PA are. Have you ever heard about CA/PA indicators? These two indicators show the ability level a player has or he will have in the future. CA (Current Ability) is a hidden value for every single person shown in the game (both players and staff) to show how good they are at the moment. The highest someone can get is 200. On the other hand, PA (Potential Ability) is the tool to “predict” player’s future. PA can be lowered during game for many reasons. For example, if a player lacks first team appearances or he gets a heavy injury.
PA has two subcategories, fixed and negative. Player with great future, playing already at the highest level (Pato, Aguero for example) have fixed PA level. In other words, there is no chance (in case he doesn’t get seriously injured in game) he won’t turn to a brilliant player, at a more mature football age. Players with a negative PA level are players who have great talent, but something didn’t work and remained stable. They will either become World Stars or they will fade away. Negative PA level is a kind of lottery, you have to be lucky to turn a player to a really good player
As you can see there are many similarities with reality. There are many good talents, but little turn to superstars. That’s the reason FM is a great football simulator.
I am looking forward to reading your comments.
See you soon,
Thanos
