Id say that's sportsmanship

I think that's the case. The only other mental attribute that could relate to diving would perhaps be Sportsmanship, but I think Dirtiness is the likely culprit. I think you can present a plausible, rational case for either one, though-- diving isn't a sporting thing to do, and neither is handling the ball. At the same time, they're both dirty plays (diving moreso than the handball). Unless SI decide to open up the match engine to the general public (hah!) it'll merely be an uncertainty.

Hidden ATTRIBUTES

Adaptability: - How quick someone might settle into a new team, area, surroundings etc. Also helps for training new positions.

Ambition: - It determines if the player may see your club as a stepping stone,

Controvesy: - How controverse he is off the field, so he might be one who may slag you off in the press.

Loyalty: - How loyal he is

Pressure: - How he handles pressure in and off the field. This is about scoring that all important penalty kick, how he plays that championship final, etc.

Professionalism: - Even if he isn't in the first team , will he still be 100% committed.

Sportsmanship: - Its about his character on and off the field. How sporting his conduct is.

Temperament: - How likely is he to see the red mist. If someone does a challenge and he doesn't like it, will he react? Or if you say he's playing bad in the press, will he fly off the handle?

Sure I've missed some hidden ones

I'm sure I read somewhere from SI that dirtyness is the intention to hurt the other player. I.E he looks to hurth them in tackles and challenges in the air.
It makes sense too, as Sportsmanship is then down to things like diving

To me flair also reflect player's intuition, ability to be in a place where nobody expects to see him. I agree it is perfect when complemented with high decision stat, but also may work great if a team has a great playmaker who can utilize other players' flair. I tend to have wingers with higher flair as it is not so critical if a winger loses ball when trying something unexpected or showes up in unexpected place and does not get ball, but if he succeed it's always dangerous.

Makes sense. Sportsmanship also covers kicking the ball out of play so someone can receive treatment too, so it's got a few other uses, too.

I think you could also add to this how well a player (especially a young player) deals with transfer speculation. I'm pretty sure Pressure is what determines whether a guy gets overwhelmed by all the interest being shown in him, or if he just takes it in stride. "Feels pressured by the interest being shown in him" is the text line, I think, which is what I'm basing this on.

TECHNICAL ATTRIBUTES

Corners: - The ability to take corners.

Crossing: - The abilty to put at accurate cross into the box.

Dribbling: - For a good dribbler they need pace, acceleration and agilty. Dribbling is the attribute that determines if a player can dribble the ball past his opponent.

Finishing: - The ability to find the back of the net. Remember though like everything else things like composure come into play as well

First Touch: - Someone with a low attribute for this may find that a pass they recieve bounces off their foot. While someone with a higher attribute is likely to have the ball be glued to their foot.

Free Kicks: - Simliar to penalty taking but for freekicks.

Heading: - The players ability to direct the ball using his head.

Long Shots: - This is quite simliar to finishing, but for long shots.

Long Throws: - I bet you all guessed this one?

Passing: - The players accuracy at passing the ball from one player to another.

Penalty Tacking: - Self explantory

A very good example :thup:

retired_FaultyFate

I have seen a few players with relatively high (15-16) free kick, but low long shots (5-7), crossing (7-10) and passing (9-11). Just wonder what he does when taking free kick

retired_elpata

A good freekick taker needs composure, technique and decisions imo
