Hi all,

I have notice that my defence have high Eccentricity and does high Eccentricity mean he is likely to make more mistake?

Think of it like, high eccentricity is Bruce Grobelaar, low eccentricity is Petr Cech.

I don't really know how much difference it makes. In my experience I've always thought a higher eccentricity rating means that he's more likely to make hilarious mistakes but will also occasionally pull a 10 rating out of the bag when you least expect it/need it.

Thanks for interesting informations.

I will have buy a defender with low eccentricity then my defence wont make too many mistake.

In real life, Paul Robinson have high eccentricity because he make too many mistake.

Robinson got low decision making which is why he is crap in real life :p ... eccentricity - people to think about here that currently play would be the likes of David James. As in he does crazy things like running 30yards out of the goal to try and tackle someone etc.

What was that lads name...Higuita? The guy who saved a shot with his heels by doing half a summersault in goal (scorpion save or whatever it was called?)

The eccentricity attribute is in the game as an honour to him

Eccentricity has always been a bizarre attribute. I always tend to disregard it really, if anything I'd favour a lower rating as would suggest a safe, consistent pair of hands.

The official manual says:

"The attribute represents the likelihood of the goalkeeper to do the unexpected and typically act completely un-like a goalkeeper. Things like dribbling out of the area will be commonplace if the eccentricity attribute is high"

At a guess, I'd say the stat is probably involved in how often they run up for a corner (if behind) at the end of the game also.

But you can tell them to do that anyway, I do...
