A guide to player personalities. Introduction I've been wanting somebody to produce this guide for a while and so eventually gave in and made it myself! A players personality affects almost every area of the game, from his match performance, to training, whether he'll ask for a bigger contract, or go out drinking before a match. This guide is intended toi help you figure out a players hidden stats so you can decide whether to sign them, keep them or let them go. To get the most information, you should look at both personality and media handling style and compare the information below. You can also gain clues about a players personality from other area in the game, such as their coach/scout report, their social group, and body language both during matches and team talks. If you make notes on a players personality throughout their career you maybe able to develop and even deeper understanding of their underlying traits. For example, a player with Ambition 18 and Loyalty 5 could be described as Fickle. However if through mentoring you increased his determination up to 17 or more, he would become Driven. This would mean you then lose the information you have about his Loyalty from the Fickle descriptor. However with a note, you know it is still likely to be fairly low. Leader, Temperamental, Professional, and Determined (in that order) Will generally beat any other personality types, so have the potential toi hide other character traits a player may have. I hope people find this guide helpful. Any questions you have, errors you've spotted, or extra information you think would be useful to add, please let me know!
