Asunto: NEWS Sokker- big changes are coming!

But why? Playmaking is important for a defender. Or they are trying to tell us that it is not?
I thought it helps with the decision where they pass the ball or shoot it away for throw in.

You should play that player in the midfield position, my friend.
No other choice

In fact, this is absurd

must set for def mid order and train their like mid...

absolutely ridiculous
I had my defenders play in midfield instead of defense so that the playmaker could train, but this time the guy's form is decreasing.

same is def for mid... must set def order for mid and train mid like def... def is important for mid, but can not train him this skill.

Tell me about it.. I train few defs with mid orders painful..
But scoring is limited to strikers def for defs and gk for goalies :(

IF you make the decision that every position gets a special skill (to make training more challenging), it's quite logical that for MIDs it's playmaker. I like it.

Me not is huge restrictions especially for young players that has to play with strongest players with unusable condition and I also think it increases chances of injury but had not prove for it..

it's quite logical that for MIDs it's playmaker

Nope! It should be passing! PM is waaaay too important skill to make it MID exclusive. It has effect on all skills! Lots of people, inclusive all devs don't realise the impact PM has within this ME. But I've said it numerous times and they keep thinking hard headed that it's the right call. It's just stupid! The worst decision they've ever made! Especially since this ME won't be touched before 2050...

I admit that I also prefer defenders (and even strikers) with pm skill compared to pass skill. But I also prefer midfielders with pm skill... so I keep my opinion that pm is logical, but ok, if it was passing, no problem for me ;)

The thing is, that PM SHOULD be the logical choice. But this ME makes PM overpowered!

Intelligent players will always be the best choice, but we need smarter devs right?

It’s not passing because that screws over gks who need passing. I’m positive they explained that’s why they went with pm as switching from def to mid or att to mid is less of an issue as gk to mid.

Otherwise I’m sure passing would have been chosen.

The only question is, why to limit it?

I would understand that DEF, MID, ATT do not need keeper skill.
KEE does not need striker skill. Was going to add DEF here too, but heading in corners is important for DEF too.

Thats about all the limitations i can see. Others do not make sense.

Of course i can train DEF as MID for playmaking skill, but does it make sense? No!

For a inner MiD I prefer PM than passing.

But I guess some other person could chose passing over PM. It is just preferences.

I like playing with many midfields, so I need high PM but maybe not as high passing because they are close so most probably the pass would be ok.

Some others might play 52w2

Then the 3 mids need passing. They need to be very accurate as these are long passes

This is the good thing about SK. But now that they "improved" the training system, everybody wants more
