Player Development - The Skills

Skills
Each player can have up to four particular skills (graded: poor, average, good or excellent):

Passing	PAS
Heading	HEA
Shot Power	SPO
Shot Accuracy	SAC
Acceleration	ACC
Speed	SPE
Tackling	TAC
Dribbling	DRI
Technique	TEC
Crossing	CRO
Reflexes	REF
Flying Saves	FLY
Control of Area	AER
One on Ones	ONE
Goal Kicks	GOA
Throw-Ins	THR

For each poor skill, a point is deducted from the level, for each good skill, a point is added, and for each excellent skill, two points are added. Accordingly, total points for particularly marked skills can range from -4 to +8 points.

Note: When the playing level is calculated, only skills that apply to the player`s current position are taken into account. For example, a player on the wing would use good heading ability quite rarely, while a defender or centre forward would use it a lot.

Experience
From -1 to +2 points are awarded for national experience and -0.5 to +1.5 points for international experience. Initially, progress can be made very quickly, but later it becomes more difficult. In the case of national experience, for example, 15 matches are needed to get from -1 to -0.5.
