- Academy players can achieve Play Style Pluses at 80 and 90 overall ratings.
- The common belief was that seven Play Styles were needed for two Play Style Pluses.
- This video demonstrates how to achieve two Play Style Pluses with only five initial Play Styles.
- The method relies on a temporary Play Style glitch to effectively increase the player's Play Style count.
Understanding the minimum requirements for Play Style Pluses allows players to strategically develop their academy prospects for maximum in-game effectiveness.
The video introduces Ollie Massie, a 16-year-old academy player with five Play Styles, as the subject for the experiment.
- Train academy players in new positions early, as it's faster and unlocks new roles, leading to quicker level-ups.
- Turn off 'Playing Training Drills' in career mode settings to avoid manual drills while still enabling temporary Play Styles.
- Do not loan out youth academy players if attempting this glitch, as it will prevent it from working.
- Save checkpoints at 79 and 89 overall ratings to easily revert progress if needed.
These preparatory steps streamline the player development process and are crucial for successfully executing the temporary Play Style glitch.
Ollie Massie was trained in Left Mid and CAM positions before being promoted to the first team.
- The temporary Play Style glitch is used before a player reaches 80 overall.
- By assigning a temporary Play Style via pre-match training and then reaching 80 OVR, that temporary Play Style can convert into a Play Style Plus.
- This effectively grants the player a sixth Play Style, enabling the potential for two Play Style Pluses.
- The process often requires multiple attempts and reloading checkpoints, as the desired temporary Play Style may not convert to a Plus on the first try.
This step is the foundation of the strategy, allowing the player to gain an 'extra' Play Style slot that wouldn't normally be available, thus meeting the threshold for a second Play Style Plus later.
The player attempts to convert the 'Incisive Pass' temporary Play Style into a Play Style Plus for Ollie Massie at 80 OVR, which takes multiple reloads over 15 minutes.
- A recent game update made it difficult to check youth academy player potential directly in the transfer hub.
- A workaround involves saving a checkpoint, releasing the player, checking their potential in the transfer hub, and then reloading the checkpoint.
- This method allows players to see potential ratings (e.g., 96-99) without permanently losing the player from their save.
Knowing a player's potential is vital for deciding whether to invest time and resources into developing them, especially when aiming for high-level abilities like Play Style Pluses.
The video demonstrates releasing Ollie Massie, searching for him in the transfer hub to find his potential (96-99), and then reloading a checkpoint to get him back.
- With six Play Styles now available (five initial + one temporary converted), the player is eligible for a second Play Style Plus at 90 OVR.
- The temporary Play Style glitch is used again at 89 OVR to acquire a new temporary Play Style.
- Rearranging team sheets can be necessary to force the player into the specific training drill that offers the desired temporary Play Style.
- Similar to the first Play Style Plus, this conversion requires saving checkpoints and potentially many reloads.
This final step confirms that the initial strategy works, allowing a player to achieve the maximum of two Play Style Pluses with the minimum starting Play Styles.
The player attempts to convert the 'Press Proven' temporary Play Style into a Play Style Plus for Ollie Massie at 90 OVR, which also requires multiple reloads.
- A player with four initial Play Styles cannot achieve two Play Style Pluses, even with the glitch; they are limited to one.
- Therefore, five initial Play Styles is the confirmed minimum requirement to achieve two Play Style Pluses using this method.
- Players with six or seven initial Play Styles will naturally achieve two Play Style Pluses without the glitch.
- The temporary Play Style glitch can further increase the total Play Styles beyond the two Pluses.
This clarifies the definitive minimum requirement, helping players make informed decisions about which academy prospects to focus on for advanced development.
An experiment with a player named Hammond, who started with four Play Styles, failed to yield a second Play Style Plus, confirming the five-Play Style minimum.
Key takeaways
- To achieve two Play Style Pluses on an academy player, a minimum of five initial regular Play Styles is required.
- A temporary Play Style glitch can be exploited by using pre-match training drills before a player reaches 80 or 90 overall.
- Converting a temporary Play Style into a permanent Play Style Plus effectively increases the player's total Play Style count, enabling the second Plus.
- Saving checkpoints at 79 and 89 overall ratings is crucial for repeatedly attempting the temporary Play Style conversion without losing progress.
- Turning off 'Playing Training Drills' in settings simplifies the process by removing the need to manually complete drills.
- Developing players in new positions early accelerates their overall rating progression.
- Players with four or fewer initial Play Styles can only achieve a maximum of one Play Style Plus, even with the glitch.
