4.2Retirements 退休
When a player decides to retire he may or may not decide to announce this to you when he first makes the decision.
当球员第一次作出退休决定时，他有可能不会告诉你。Because of this sometimes you will have warning that a player is

going to retire, while with other players they may just abruptly retire.
因此有时候你会得到球员将要退休的通知，而一些球员突然退休的时候，你也不用感到奇怪。
Generally speaking unless a retirement is caused by injury a player will retire at the end of a playing season.
一般说来，除非是由于伤病，球员会在赛季末退休。

Note:
A new feature in CM4 is the ability to attempt to persuade a player to put off retiring for a season by appealing

for him to stay at the club. This does not always work and is obviously a choice that you will have to make upon

hearing about an imminent retirement.
CM4中的一个新特性是可以尝试劝说球员推迟一个赛季退休。当然这不一定有效，但却是你在面对球员退休时的一个选择。

4.3Coaching Badges 教练证书
In CM4 you will sometimes see a news item announcing that one of your players has qualified with a UEFA coaching

certificate. This indicates that the player has now obtained non-playing ability and could be offered a coaching

role within your team if you decided to offer one.
CM4里你也许会看到一条消息，说你的一个球员获得了欧足联的教练证书。这表示你可以聘请他作为你的教练组一员了。


Note:
Generally speaking the level of badge that he receives is a guideline to how good he is as a non-player.
证书的级别可以说明他作为一名教练的能力。

4.4Keeping Morale High 保持士气高涨
Players who have high morale will usually play better than those who have low morale* so it is important to keep

player morale as high as possible. To keep player morale high it is important to keep each player feeling that they

are valued members of the squad, this can be done by:
高士气的球员会比士气低的球员表现得更好，因此士气高涨是必需的。要做到这一点，让每一位球员感到自己被重视是很重要的。诀

窍是：（原文就是空的，555555)

Note:
There exceptions to this rule, including circumstances such as a player who is transfer listed playing his heart out

to try and attract a new club.
这些规则也有例外，包括环境因素，比如一个在转会名单上的球员ply his heart out以吸引新的俱乐部。（盒盒，技穷了，不过看

不到前面的诀窍，这句话看了也是白看）

4.4.1Player Personality 球员个性
A player’s personality can affect his mood quite severely, some players are naturally more moody than others.
球员的个性可以很大程度上影响他的情绪。一些球员天生就是喜怒无常的。
You can detect this in Championship Manager 4 by keeping an eye on the ‘Future’ section of a player’s factfile,

these are largely the same as in CM3 – however, in case you haven’t played that version of the game I have listed

a few examples below to give you an idea of how this works.
CM4中在球员属性里面的'Future'一项（我怎么没找到）就可以感觉到球员的个性，这和CM3很类似--但如果你没有玩过CM3，这里有

些例子可以帮助你理解

PhraseMeaning （可能粘贴是格式乱了，不敢乱译）
Outragedlow temperament and isn’t amazingly professional.
Outraged愤怒 没有气质并且不专业
DisappointedModel professional who isn’t going to rock the boat or dip in his application when unhappy.
Disappointed失望
Worried or UpsetNot very good at handling pressure.
Worried or Upset忧虑
Believes he can force his way back into the managers plans
Believes信任
Hardworking and good at handling pressureThinks this club is a stepping stone for the futureDisloyal, Ambitious and

fairly un-professional.

As you can see from the list it is fairly easy to ascertain the personality of the player from the phrases that are

displayed (not all phrases in the game are in the table as there are several hundred possibilities).
正如你所看到的，很容易就可以从这些词语中看出球员的个性来（上面并未列出游戏中所有可能的个性）

4.4.2Ensuring that the players squad status is appropriate 保证球员正常的地位(不知道squad status怎么翻译，估计是指首

发，板凳，预备队这样的不同的队员身份）
A player won’t be happy if you tell him he is an important player and then never play him.
如果你告诉你的球员他是如何重要却又不让他上场比赛，那就别指望他会感到高兴。

4.4.3Don’t jump his squad status around repeatedly 别不停地改变球员的地位
If you change his squad status every other week then this makes a player feel insecure about his position at the

club.
如果你每两周就改变一下队员的身份，他会觉得自己在俱乐部的位置并不牢固
Players will indicate that they have been upset by a change in their squad status by displaying a message indicating

that the 'player feels he has been treated unfairly' on their profile.
如果球员因为地位被改变而觉得不高兴，在他的属性里就会有如下提示：'player feels he has been treated unfairly'（球员觉

得受到不公平对待）

4.4.4Pay him what he is worth 支付球员应得的报酬
If you bought your star player while in the conference and put him on a 7 year contract at ￡150 / week then when

you reach the Premiership he will not be very happy to still be stuck with that contract.
打业余联赛时你和你的明星球员签了一份周薪150英镑的7年合同，当你升上超级联赛时如果还保持那份合同一成不变，他会高兴吗？

4.4.5Don't try and train a player for a position that doesn't suit him 不要尝试训练一个球员让他去打不适合他的位置
If you try and train a player for a position that he feels he isn't suited for then he will tell you he is 'unhappy

with training'. This will slow any improvements that he may gain from training and may make him more prone for not

turning up to training.
如果你训练一个球员去打他觉得不适合的位置，他会告诉你'unhappywith traning'（对训练不满意）。这会影响他的训练效果并且

导致消极训练。

4.4.5Language Barrier 语言障碍
If a player can’t communicate with any other staff members then he is more likely to be unhappy than one who can

talk to other staff.
如果一个球员不能和其他任何一个队友或者教练交流，他会比别的球员更容易不高兴。

4.4.6Disliked Players 不喜欢的球员
Some players actively dislike other players and shouldn’t be placed in the same team, this you can only find out by

trial and error (a player will tell you when it happens).
球员之间会有互相不喜欢的现象，这时就不应该把他们放在同一队里。这一点只能靠你的不断试验和积累，球员不会告诉你的。

4.4.7Vetoing Player Requests 否决球员的请求
Ignoring player requests for transfer or first team football may make players unhappy.
忽视球员的转会或者进一队的请求可能导致球员的不满。

4.4.8Winning Games 赢得比赛
No player likes always being on the losing side, winning games is an effective way of increasing squad morale.
没有球员喜欢永远输球，比赛的胜利可以有效地提高士气

4.4.9value him realistically 实际地定价
Players won’t be happy about being over-valued by their coaches. While a happy player might allow you to value him

at 10x his value if he’s tolerant and at his favorite club, an unhappy player who wants to move to a bigger club

will probably be unhappy if valued at 1.5x his Automatic asking price.
球员不喜欢身价被教练定得过高。当一个觉得满意的球员处在一个喜欢的俱乐部并且他很宽容的时候，他可以接受你把他的身价定为

实际的10倍；相反，一个觉得不满意的球员如果想转会到一家更大的俱乐部，就是你定的身价是实际的1.5倍他也不高兴。

4.4.9Protect him from the media 在媒体报道中保护他
If you fail to protect players from media criticism then this can affect the way they feel about you.
如果你不能在媒体的批评中保护你的球员，他会改变对你的看法。

Note:
This is a double-edged sword however as certain players may take your defence of them to the media as an indication

that they can relax and take things easy.
但这支一把双刃剑，有些球员会把你对他的保护看成是可以放松和马虎的信号。
Also defending a player who has criticized his team mates may upset the players he offended.
另外，保护一个责备队友的球员一定会伤害被责备的人。

4.4.10Time at the club 在俱乐部的光阴
Certain players will feel that they have achieved all they can at your club and be looking for a new challenge. If

you force these players to stay put then their morale will drop.
一些球员会认为在现在的俱乐部中已达到了所有可能的目标，因而寻找新的挑战。这时即使强迫他们留下，士气也会下降。

If a respected senior member of your team is upset then it will have a ripple through effect on the rest of the

team. Thus if Shearer is unhappy at Newcastle then it may unsettle other players in the squad.
如果一个受尊敬的重要球员有所不满，势必会影响到球队其他的成员。因此，如果纽卡斯尔联队的希勒不高兴了，正值球队都会受到

影响。

4.4.11Don’t promise what you can’t fulfill 不要开空头支票
Making empty promises to a player that you later don’t fulfil is a sure way of making them dislike you. Avoid using

promises to solve problems in the short-term unless you are sure you can fulfil them, otherwise you’ll find you’ve

stirred up more trouble than you started with.
对球员开空头支票肯定会使他心生不满。不要用诺言来解决短期问题，除非你有把握做得到，否则只会麻烦不断。

4.5Player Characteristics 球员特性

CM4 has far more player attributes than meet the eye. Literally! There are many attributes which are visible within

a player’s profile but equally there are those which remain ‘hidden’ and only become evident after you get to

know your squad a little better. We’ll take a look at the Visible Attributes first.
CM4有更多的球员属性让你目不暇接。很多属性都是可以看得到的，当然也有隐藏的，随着你对你的球队的熟悉你会发现慢慢这些它

们的。让我们先看看哪些可以但到的属性。

Goalkeeping (Goalkeepers only) 守门（只用于守门员）

Aerial AbilityThe capacity to pluck the ball out of the air. A keeper who comes out and flaps at a ball will cause

panic among his defenders. A good aerial ability is helpful against teams who get lots of crosses in or use the long

ball tactic.
Aerial Ability高空球的控制能力。守门员出击但不能将球抓住会引起后防患乱。出色的高空球的控制能力对于对方的传中和长串战

术的非常有效。

Command of AreaA ‘keeper with good command of his area is mobile and gets around the box rapidly. He will display

this attribute best at setpieces – knowing when to come for the ball and making sure he gets it when he does.
Command of Area区域控制能力，善于区域控制的守门员具有更大的活动范围，这对于防守任意球尤其有用--他知道什么时候出击并

能保证将球得到。（我自己都没看懂）

CommunicationA ‘keeper with good communication skills is essential if you want to possess an organised defence.

Think Peter Schmeichel…
Communication交流，守门员的交流技能对于组织和指挥防守队员非常有用，比如舒梅切尔.....

EccentricityAn eccentric keeper is a double-edged sword. He might be capable of moments of genius, but equally you

may find him scampering out of his box with no hope of getting to the ball before the opposition striker. If you

like a player with a bit of character, a low rating, in my opinion, is not necessarily a good thing.
Eccentricity古怪（比如伊基塔），一把双刃剑。在某一时刻一个伊基塔式的守门员会是挽救球队的天才，同时他盲目的出击和表演

也使你心惊胆战。 如果你喜欢守门员有点性格，我认为他同时也应该有高效率（rating)。

HandlingThis is the attribute you really want to look out for in a ‘keeper. No handling = no good.
Handling手处理球的能力 这是守门重要的特性，没有处理球的能力就等于一无是处

KickingIf you play the long ball tactic, make sure your ‘keeper has a good kicking attribute. He’ll be able to

stick it on your target man’s head from his six yard box. If your ‘keeper has a poor kicking rating, have him

distribute the ball straight to your defenders.
Kicking脚踢球的能力，如果你是用长传战术，那么守门员出色的脚踢球的能力就很重要，他可以将球准确地长传给前场的队友，否

则，让他只负责把球给后卫好了。

ReflexesThis is a great attribute for your ‘keeper to have, denoting how good he is at making instinctive saves –

particularly from close range. This combines with good Handling and Agility to keep your goals conceded to a

minimum.
Reflexes反应，不用多说这有多重要了吧？这一点关系到守门员瞬间扑救的能力--特别是对短距离内的射门。守门员具有突出的反应

，手处理球的能力加上敏捷(Agility），就可以将你的失球减到最少。

Rushing OutThis is a good stat to have if your team plays the offside trap or if the opposition have a particularly

fast striker (aka Michael Owen). Your ‘keeper will be out to meet them before you can say “Rushing Out”… errr….
Rushing Out出击 ，如果你使用越位战术或者对方拥有快速的前锋（比如欧文），守门员的出击能力就格外显得重要。

Tendency to PunchSomething we’ve seen more of in the English Premiership in recent seasons as more teams employ

continental keepers. Looking for this stat is purely a personal choice – punching can clear the danger immediately

but it still remains a risky business. Not recommended with a weak and shaky defence.
Tendency to Punch手击球的倾向性，随着来自欧洲大陆的守门员的增多，最近几个赛季在英超联赛中看到的守门员手击球决来越多

（这有什么关系？）。如何看待这一点是个人的选择问题--手击球可以解决燃眉之急，但并不能彻底消除危险。如果你的后防并不牢

固，我们不建议你的守门员经常这样做。

ThrowingIf you like your team to play Counter Attack football, a keeper with good Throwing ability is essential.

Once in possession he’ll have the ball out to your striker on the halfway line in no time…
Throwing手抛球，如果使用快速反击战术，守门员的手抛球就非常必要，一旦他得到球就会第一时间手抛给你的前锋。再想想舒梅切

尔.......

Technical 技术属性

CrossingIf you like to employ wingers and fullbacks marauding down both flanks it’s vital that they have the

ability to get quality balls into your strikers. No point in doing this if your attackers are 5ft nothing though.

The Crossing schedule in training is a good way to improve their stats.
Crossing传中，如果你希望边锋或者后卫插上到对方两侧，这时他们能否准确地传中就变得至关重要。但如果你的前锋身高不及5英

尺.......训练计划中的传中可以提高球员这项参数

DribblingCoupled with Agility and Balance, I consider it essential you have a good dribbler in your side –

especially in the more advanced roles with room to run at defenders. Be careful you don’t have too many dribblers

though as they’ll tend to ignore any passing tactic you might have. Although a dribbler has the potential to be a

match winner, he could also give it away in his own penalty area and lose you the game.
Dribbling盘球，加上敏捷（Agility)和平衡能力(Balance)，我认为在你的球队里有一个盘球大师很有必要--特别是在对方给你留有

足够空间的高级比赛里。不过盘球的人太多了也不行，他们会无视你制定的传球战术。虽然喜欢盘球的队员可能给你带来胜利,但如

果他在自己的禁区里面盘带过多..........

FinishingNothing simpler here. Bad Finishing = Missing a Sitter. Mind you, your player has to be in the right

position to score a goal, so ensure your player also has good Off the Ball movement, Balance and Strength.
Finishing终结能力，前锋没有终结能力就会错失良机。当然，你的前锋必须能够出现在适当的地方进行射门，所以保证他有良好的

无球跑动能力(off the ball movement)，平衡性（balance)和足够强壮（strength)。

HeadingAs crucial for players you want to use as Target men as it is for Central Defenders. Any team either playing

the long ball tactic or being confronted by it will want some good headers in the side. Look for this attribute

combined with Jumping.
Heading头球，对于制空点球员和中卫同样重要。不论你用长串战术还是以控球为主，球员具有好的头球能力都没有坏处，当然还有

看弹跳力(jumping)

Long ShotsIf you don’t get shots on goal, you’re never going to score. A few long shots now and then can also

really test a dodgy keeper. Once you’ve established that you have a midfielder like Hamann who can bullet them from

the halfway line, instruct him to take a few long pots. He might be good at freekicks too…
Long Shots远射，不射门就永远不能得分。偶尔的远射还可以考验一下对方的守门员。当你认为你有一个像哈曼一样的中场球员，可

以让他尝试远射，包括获得任意球机会的时候。

Long ThrowsLong Throwing ability is a particularly good attribute for a fullback to have as you will probably be

wanting them to take most of the attacking throws, thereby freeing up your more attacking players.
Long Throws手榴弹（大力扔边线球）,对于后卫这是一个不错的属性，特别是如果你想他负责进攻性的边线球而释放你的进攻队员时
。
MarkingIf a defender has poor Marking it doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be a load of rubbish. However, you’ll

definitely want to avoid playing a Man-Marking tactic. If your defenders can’t mark for toffee, perhaps consider a

Sweeper system or have them defend deeper than you would otherwise like. A Hard Tackling ploy goes nicely with

Marking to soften up the opposition….
盯人，后卫不会盯人并不是说他一无是处，不过你得避免使用盯人战术。如果你的后卫不善于盯人，使用一名清道夫或者避免后卫压

得太前会是很好的选择。硬朗的防守策略（Hard Tackle）加上盯人可以很好地冻结对方的进攻。

One on OnesIf you’re playing Counter Attack football, there’s going to be a few situations when your striker finds

himself through on goal with “no-one to beat but the ‘keeper”. The better a player’s rating, the more likely he

is to be able to chip or go round the on-rushing ‘keeper. Good Dribbling and Finishing blend nicely with this

attribute.
One on Ones一对一，如果使用防守反击战术，你的射手有机会直接面对对方守门员，这是一对一的能力越强，他就有更大的把握破

门得分，当然还要看盘带(dribbling)和终结(finishing)能力

PassingIf you’ve got a midfielder posse who would give the Real Madrid midfield a run for their money, then you’ll

be in a good position to use a Short or Mixed passing tactic to good effect. However, your midfield are more likely

to be a bunch of muppets, so have them long ball it for all they’re worth.
Passing传球，（又技穷了，大意是如果你的中场传球技术出众，那么短传或者混合传球战术就会很有效，否则还是打长传算了）

Penalty TakingAlthough this stat speaks for itself, I’ve often found that a player with high Influence (e.g. club

captain) will also come up trumps and have the guts to take a good penalty. Think Beckham…
Penalty Taking射点球能力，不言而喻，不过我发现一个有大影响力的球员（比如队长），也有能力和勇气射好一个点球，比如小贝

.......

Set PiecesTogether with this attribute, both Long Shots and Crossing ability can aid a player’s aptitude for free-

kicks and corners. Again, the best way to find out who strikes a good setpiece is through match practice.
Set Pieces任意球，加上远射和传中能力，球员又可以发出高质量的任意球和角球。不过，最好的发现任意球高手的

TacklingIf you combine this attribute with Strength, Marking and particularly Aggression and Bravery, you’ll have a

great defender on your hands. Essential for defenders and battling defensive midfielders.
Tackling拦截能力，一个强壮的防守球员如果同时具备了优秀的拦截，盯人能力和突出的侵略性和勇气，他就是你伟大的防守者。这

项能力对于后卫和防守中场特别重要。

TechniqueTechnique is perhaps one of the more important attributes a player can have and refers largely to natural

skill rather than an expertise in a particular area or position. Look for good technique in your more attacking

players if you want to impress the opposition.
Technique技术，这是球员最重要的属性之一，主要是指一般性的技术，而不是场上某个位置的专门技能。如果你像压住对方狂功，

就需要更多技术好的进攻队员。

Mental 精神属性

AggressionThis attribute is a measure of how enthusiastic a player will be when involved in a confrontation with an

opponent or when challenging for a 50-50 ball. Aggressive players will get cautioned more often (which will make

them miss matches) but they won’t half get stuck in for your team!
Aggression侵略性，有这一项可以看出球员在面对对方或者处理50-50球（拼脚）的能力，当然他也会更容易得到警告甚至红黄牌，

但他却永远不会出工不出力。

AnticipationIf your midfield players have good anticipation, then they will be likely to manage more interceptions

during a match and therefore give your team more possession. Good anticipation is a vital ingredient for defenders

and attackers alike though - best coupled with good Off the Ball movement and Decisions.
Anticipation预见性，中场球员的预见性越高就越容易断掉对方的传球。它对于后卫和前锋同样重要，加上无球跑动和有决定能力

(decision)就更好

BraveryBravery should be an essential part of any player’s vocabulary. A high Bravery rating will increase the

likelihood of your player winning 50-50 balls and generally getting in where it hurts. As previously mentioned, at

its best with Tackling and most goalkeeper stats you care to mention.
Bravery勇气，勇敢的球员更容易抢下50-50球，也更容易受伤。勇气要和拦截能力和大部分的守门员属性一起考虑。

CreativityCreativity is the ability to make things happen. You’ll score more goals if you get a creative midfielder

operating in the centre of the park. It might be wise to support him with a defensive midfielder though as creative

geniuses don’t tend to be great tacklers. There are exceptions of course…
Creativity创造性，中场有一位富有创造性的球员会使你的球队仅更多的球，不过他们的防守能力一般很差，最好辅之以一位防守型

中场。当然也有例外....

DecisionsQuick thinking is crucial in a hectic game of football. You want players who can make the right decisions

in the heat of the moment. Look for a good Decisions attribute to be combined with Creativity, Passing and to a

lesser extent Anticipation.
Decision决定能力,疯狂的比赛需要快速的思考和判断，这是你需要有决定能力的球员成为核心。找一个有决定能力，有创造性，传

球出众再加上比较有预见性的球员吧。

DeterminationDetermination is a measure of your players’ desire to win and it’s a good attribute to possess

throughout your team. You might particularly look for Determination in players if you manage a lowly club and often

find you’re having to come back from a goal or two down. Players with Determination will keep battling to the final

whistle.
Determination决心，衡量一个球员对比赛胜利的渴望程度，这对于你整支球队都很有好处。如果你正管理一个低级俱乐部而且球队

经常以一球或者两球落败，有决心的球员就是你的救星，他们会战斗到比赛的最后一刻。

FlairA player with a lot of flair can cause you a lot of frustration but equally can be a match winner. There will

be times when you wished he’d tried the simple pass rather than blazing a bicycle kick into the stands. There will

be other times however when you rise from your seat and applaud the best piece of individualism you’ve ever seen.

Not recommended for managers who like their team to play George Graham Arsenal long ball.
Flair天资（==表演欲？）天资突出的球员可以给你带来沮丧...或者胜利。当可以用简单方法进球时，他也许会来个倒钩...射到看

台上;有时你也会在教练席上因为他的无与伦比的个人表演而击节叫好。用或不用，只是个人喜好。

InfluenceA player with a high Influence attribute will undoubtedly be a prime candidate for the role of captain. Yet

choose wisely. A player who has high Influence but doesn’t seem to command the respect of the players around him

will not make a good choice. Remember, even when you’ve chosen your captain it’s good to have Influence in every

area of the pitch.
Influence影响力，有大影响力的球员当时是你的队长首选，但是有大影响力却不会指挥周围球员的队长也做不出正确的决定。记住

，即使你已经选出了队长，球场上的每个区域都需要有影响力的球员。

Off the BallOff the Ball is perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of the game of football, yet CM regards it as

one of the most important. A player with good Off the Ball movement (aka Jeffers perhaps) can draw defenders and

generally cause the opposition a lot of problems. Try to find a player who combines a high Off the Ball attribute

with good Pace, Positioning and Anticipation.
Off the Ball无球跑动，这是足球比赛中最要的方面之一，在CM中也是最重要的属性之一。球员的无球跑动可以拉空防线从而引出对

方的防守漏洞。去找一个有优秀的无球跑动，速度，位置感和判断力的球员吧。

PositioningIf you’ve ever entertained the idea of your team playing the Offside trap, you will know that

Positioning is the main attribute you want your defenders to bring to the game. Combines well with Strength and

Anticipation to create an air of solidity.
Positioning位置感，如果你尝试过越位战术就知道位置感对后卫的重要,再加上强壮和判断力，这是稳固后防的基础。

TeamworkIf you not the sort of person who likes to rely on one player to win matches, you’ll need players with

strong Teamwork to get your team gelling. High Teamwork throughout your team will see your side working their socks

off for each other. Blends nicely with high Work Rate and Determination.
Teamwork合作精神，除非你喜欢以来一个球员来赢得比赛，否则就需要球员的合作精神来把球队凝聚起来。还需要配合工作效率

(work rate)和决心。

Work RateAs mentioned, this is an attribute which compliments a high Teamwork ethic. If you like your team to Close

Down your opponents, then a high Work Rate attribute throughout your midfield will be highly useful. Don’t forget

to ensure they’ve got a bit of Stamina though…
Work Rate工作效率，这需要和合作精神一起考虑。如果你想采用压迫式打法(close down），中场球员的工作效率就非常重要，前提

是有充分的耐力做保障。

Physical 身体条件

AccelerationAs a measure of how quickly a player can reach top speed, Acceleration is a must-have attribute for

wingers and pacey attackers. You might also consider having defenders with good Acceleration if you’re faced by a

team who are aiming to hit you on the break. Good Stamina is a must and a little bit of Work Rate won’t go a miss

either.
Acceleration加速，衡量一个球员多快可以达到最高速度，这是边锋和速度型前锋的必要属性，对于后卫也是必不可少，尤其当对方

想打身后球时。同时，耐力和效率是保障。

AgilityAgility is an attribute which is most necessary for players in top-flight football. You can get away with

being a cumbersome lump in the lower leagues but the top divisions demand that even the central defenders have a bit

of dexterity. Combined with Acceleration and Dribbling a high Agility rating can make for a great attacking

footballer.
Agility敏捷，这是高速的足球比赛所必需的。低级联赛中笨重的球员也许可以帮助你获得胜利，但顶级赛事甚至需要中卫也具有相

当的敏捷。加速+盘球+敏捷=优秀的攻击球员

BalanceAlthough by the very nature of their profession all footballers could do with a bit of Balance, the ones who

’ll need it most are the ones who are going to be on the receiving end of a few tackles and kicks. You’ll

predominantly like your wingers and other attacking players to have high agility, coupled with good Agility,

Dribbling or Strength to make it difficult for the opposition to knock them off the ball.
Balance平衡能力，当然对于职业球员都会一定的平衡能力，但对于需要在对方干扰下接球的球员来说尤为重要。如果你不希望你的

边锋或者其他进攻队员拿不到球，敏捷，平衡，强壮和盘球能力都很重要。

JumpingAn easy one this one. You’ve got to link it with a good Heading attribute and be sure if you ever want to

play long ball or crossing-intensive tactics that your players are good at springing off the ground. If, say, your

players are also high on Bravery and Aggression as well as Jumping, make sure you’ve got them putting in some Hard

Tackling to really dominate the opposition.
Jumping弹跳力，当你是用长传或者传中战术时，弹跳力和头球技术都非常重要。

PacePace can actually be a bit of a misnomer so be careful. Your player might be lightening quick but if he can’t

do anything with the ball then he’ll soon become a bit of a liability. Look to link Pace with Flair, Dribbling,

Agility and of course Acceleration. Have your fastest players run from deep to really scare the opposition defence.
StaminaThe importance of Stamina cannot be underestimated – particularly if you play an effort-intensive style such

as Closing Down, Gung-Ho or have players set to making lots of forward runs. You’ll find that if your team has a

low level of Stamina in general, you will tend to concede goals late in the game. You have been warned…
StrengthStrength is an important issue when challenging for the ball, so you’ll be keen to have a fair few players

in your side who can mix it when the going gets rough. Tackling, Jumping and Marking are augmented by Strength and

you will find that stronger players don’t give away fouls so often as they can generally muscle players off the

ball instead of having to slide in.

4.6Player Aging
In recent years players have been defying the effects of aging longer within professional football. Thanks to the

increased attention given to training properly and a healthy diet professional players can play at the highest level

well into their thirties.

As with all aspects of football we have attempted to mimic this change in CM4, however please bear in mind that ONLY

professional players with the right attitude will reap the benefits from such things, players who don’t look after

themselves will still find themselves burnt out and on the scrap heap at an early age (thinking of no English

midfield maestro in particular ).

The largest improvements in player ability will usually happen below 24 years of age. Please bear in mind that these

‘Peak Ages’ are only guidelines and players will sometimes peak before or after these ages.

As mentioned in the initial paragraph how long a player remains at his ‘peak’ is somewhat dependant upon his

attitude and commitment to playing professional football. A player who is a thorough professional and is known for

his work-rate and commitment will generally speaking tend to have a longer ‘peak’ than an erratic temperamental

player.

The age at which a player is liable to retire is again affected by his position. Bear in mind that a player who is

still very fit (indicated by high Stamina) and playing first team football is less likely to retire than one who is

unfit and languishing in the reserves.
