Assessments

When you begin assessing a player (0% assessed), the game generates two values:

• An initial offset, which can be +/-40 PA from the player’s actual Potential Ability (on a scale of 1-200).
• A final offset, which can +/- up to 40PA, depending on the manager’s Judging Potential level.

Assessment Offset

• With NO Judging Potential skill, your final offset can be +/- 40PA.
• With JP1, it can be up to +/- 37 (92.5% of 40, 7.5% more accurate)
• With JP2, it can be up to +/- 34 (85% of 40, 15% more accurate)
• With JP3, it can be up to +/- 31 (77.5% of 40, 22.5% more accurate)
• With JP4, it can be up to +/- 25 (62.5% of 40, 37.5% more accurate)
• With JP5, it can be up to +/- 10 (25% of 40, 75% more accurate)

Partial Assessments

• At 0% assessed, you see the rough offset.
• At 25% assessed, you see the value 25% of the way between the two offsets.
• At 50% assessed, you see the value 50% of the way between the two.
• At 100% assessed, you see the final offset.

What we don’t know is how the assessed PA maps into the 1-5 scale seen in game.

I calculate the break even points for the learning skills as:

• level 1: 400k points learned ~ 10 days learning to have more points in the category than if you hadn’t learned anything
• level 1-2: 610k points learned ~ 16 days learning to have more points in the category than if you had only learned level 1
• level 1-3: 960k points learned ~ 24 days learning to have more points in the category than if you had only learned level 1 & 2 only
• level 1-4: 2.6m points learned ~ 65 days learning to have more points in the category than if you had only learned level 1,2 & 3
• level 1-5: 4m points learned ~ 90 days learning to have more points in the category than if you had only learned level 1,2,3 & 4

As long as you’re planning to stay in the game long term, the best way to catch up with everyone is to work out how many points you plan to spend in a category and invest in the relevant level of the learning skill on day 1. All the number
