It's a huge load for me to set the special abilities for so many players handly. I sincerely hope kschoice will notice the threads and patch his well-known EditPES4OptionFile.
Special abilities are the briliant part in PES4. They affect the gameplay in some untold but effective way. Most of them can't be set simply according to CM's characters, but there are a few non-technical characters in CM that are very important to the gameplay but unable to be converted to PES clearly. I think we can make full use of the characters to 'simulate' the special abilities in some extent. My solution is based on the thought and surely it's not exactly correct, but maybe it's more playable than bunches of stars.
movement: positioning, reaction
relative-mental, important for attacker to be good position. also contribute to 'offensive' stat.
vision: playmaking, passing
relative-mental, creative for helping others.
anticipation: positioning, d-line control, penalty stopper
relative-mental, helping himself, both attackers and defensers. both 'offensive' and 'defensive'.
decisions: passing, 1-1 scoring, penalty stopper
relative-mental, quick thought, doing right thing at right time.
positioning: <no sa>
relative-mental, key for 'defensive' for defensers.
flair: dribbling, anti-dribbling, bbf, scoring, outside
absolute-mental, critical character for himself.
teamwork: <no sa>
absolute-mental, be helpful for the whole team. mapped to 'team work' stat.
work rate: <no sa>
absolute-mental, 'how hard he works in match'. hard to mapped to any stat or special ability. maybe it can be a factor for all stats and sa caculation.
aggression: reaction
absolute-mental, main factor for 'aggression' stat.
bravery: sliding tackle
absolute-mental, tricky for 'sliding tackle' since he need bravery to go down the ground.
composure,determination,concentration,consistency: <no sa>
absolute-mental, contributable for stat listed above.
dirtiness,important matches: <no sa>
absolute-mental, hard to map.
leadership: playmaking, d-line control
absolute-mental, making it factors for the two important and rare special abilities.
balance,strength: post player
absolute-physical, for post player to be unbeatable.
There are still three special abilities in PES not easy to set: Line positioning, side, center. 'Line positioning' are very rare in PES. Maybe the according PPM can be used here. side and center have no exact opponent in CM. But that nobody has it is better than 'everybody has it' in my own opinion. Maybe we can keep the original settings in PES.
