On FMScout there is Genie Scout which allows you to view the personality attributes along with other hidden attributes and components of a player. The way to view these attributes is discussed later in the article, or by using scouting or editing tools. Like all other attributes – the personality attributes are rated from 1 to 20. Some of these are “Personality Attributes” and they influence a player’s personality. Fortunately you can see it – however there are hidden attributes which are unable to be quantified or seen in scout reports. These two attributes are quantifiable for every player or staff in FM. The mental attributes which determine a player’s personality are. A player’s personality in FM is determined by their mental attributes and several hidden attributes – meaning that there is not an overall system which directly translates what a player’s personality is like. Real life is unquantifiable, unable to see a player’s overall determination or ambition on a rating system out of 20. So as in real life, the personality of an individual affects all aspects of one’s life. How Does Football Manager Determine Personalities? Their personalities can either hinder or improve their performances on the training ground and how they grow as a player overall. Training performance and training progression can be directly affected by a player’s personality.Likewise, it can be reversed – where one player’s personality can influence a match day performance of the squad. The squad’s overall personality and other individuals within the match squad and their personalities can affect a player’s performance. Different personalities respond to certain situations in a multitude of ways and can make or break a player’s performance throughout a match or “attitude” and “desire” in their performance. A player’s match performance can be affected by their personality.Therefore, the personality directly affects an individual’s interactions and relationships with fellow teammates, coaches, the manager, and the media. Personalities directly affect other people who encounter that individual.There is also a more indirect effect that personality has on that individual’s morale.Happiness and Future Plans are directly affected by a player’s personality. First it affects the emotions of a player and their future goals and attitudes to them.This guide digs into Player Personalities, explaining what they are, the important attributes and the effects personalities have on the player, the impact on your squad and the performances on the pitch.Įvery player has their own personality, and that personality directly affects multiple avenues within the FM simulation. Plus being ‘determined’ does not mean that FM has set that player to be a positive influence on the pitch or in your squad. The reality is that focusing on just one attribute so simplistically ignores many other players who could be so much better. Majority of the community looks for players who have a high “Determination” attribute or personality and ignore the rest. Personalities are generally neglected in Football Manager. Football Manager has implemented such difficult human tenancies into its simulations, giving everyone a personality, which affects that individual in multiple ways. Individuals react to the same scenario in different manners based on a multitude of components. Each human has their own personality which makes them unique.
