Re: Best player in SWOS 96/97

I don t think Lopez actually runs faster than Weah... as I said above, you feel that he is faster, because his focus is on speed, where Weah has also shotpower and heading.

Playing with Lopez you initially think: This dude is FAST!
With Weah: This dude can SHOOT!

Understand?

Spir, just try it! Choose Valencia and play against Milan. Choose Weah as a defender and you will see that they equally fast...

Im gonna do a guide soon, but the skills system in swos is quite easy to understand. All players have a number from 0-15 in 7 different categories (speed, passsing, finishing, tackling, shot power, ball control, heading). The confusing part is that numbers 0-15 are divided in 2, why i dont know (heard a rumor about player wages, but im not sure). The lowest is 0 which is equal to 8. The best is 15 which is equal to 7. This means the following:

Worst

---

Best
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Player example:

Roberto Mussi (Parma)

P V H T C S F
15 4 3 15 4 15 2

This would be equal to:

P V H T C S F
7 12 11 7 12 7 10

P = Passing
V = Shot Power
H = Heading
T = Tackling
C = Ball Control
S = Speed
F = Finishing

Roberto Mussi is RB, but i think he is perfect for a defensive midfielder. He has maximum in categories Speed, Tackling, and passing. Some people often get confused when i set an attacker in defence, but i know the skills of the player. And like playaveli said, you could easily have george weah in defence cause he has max in every skill. His stats are here together with a few others:

George Weah (AC Milan)
P V H T C S F
15 15 15 7 15 15 15

Hristo Stoichkov (Barcelona)
P V H T C S F
15 14 2 3 15 14 15

Claudio Lopez (Valencia)
P V H T C S F
2 14 14 3 3 15 14

Very nice research here! Thx, Poul!
The explaination of why the skills go from 0-7 and 8-15 is in my above post! The higher one has priority in the the 3 letters , eg THS all 15 and P = 7...

@Robchef: Their price value drops in career mode... But not their skill values!
