Harry Kane i think needs to maybe be 2 points more for his pace and acceleration to be as good as what he is.
i think all the slower but prolific scorer attackers need to be about 2 points more than just 11's or 13's and be 11-13 when theyre 35 or something.
pace matters too much for a striker so they need to be better than what they are in football manager.
what do you think and whose had success with a slower about 13 or lower pace and accel. striker in fm16 and how many goals per game have you got. i've got 1 goal from 7 games for harry kane and in real life he was like that a bit but i think its going to continue on in fm16 :(

anyway, any thoughts related to this threads topic would be most welcomed.
 
It might be your tactics harry kane for me has been good. Has scored 8 in 14 league games.
 
Hes got 14 goals in 19 games for me so far this season with Man Utd, I play with a couple of wingers and an AMC who all cater to his needs as a target man

If you think there are issues post them over at si in the database issues thread, they might get looked at
 
so to use him as a target man works maybe????
could you say what role you use him for and support or attack as well, if needed, please.
its just so much easier with N'Jie as an advanced forward with his pace and to get on the end of my midfielders and full backs through balls to him than harry :(
 
i've got 3 goals from 9 games with him i've just looked at, but only one in the league so he's just being like that for me maybe????
so maybe i shouldnt worry too much, at an early stage, with his goals when he's got 3 out of 9.
he's not taking the penalty's either, so maybe i'll just have to stick with him.

I had the same issue with Higuain first season with United got 2 goals in 18 games but he just clicked after christmas and went on a goalscoring rampage
 
he's 16 pace and 14 acccel. in my game though, higuain.
harry's only 11 pace 13 accel.
maybe 15 pace 15 accel should be harry's stats then?
 
hope for harry though with you saying they can get a lot better :)
 
The problem with Kane is that if you try and use him remotely how he's been successful IRL, he's godawful, mainly because he has 11 dribbling. This basically forces you to play him as a specialist when in reality his great strength is that he's an excellent all round player. Hopefully he will be buffed next patch (if he hasn't been in the official release today)

**** no. Raheem Sterling has 15 pace, and he could walk faster than Kane.

i just think sterling should be faster too and i'm trying to be like to say to have the proper strikers faster a bit more than they should if they are prolific enough the season before and for this season too. kane is good enough i think over this season and last to be more pace like to have him play better overall then.

and harry was fast enough in his arsenal goal i think and great with his off the ball too, to expose the offside trap.

and n'jie is 16 or 17 pace and 16 or 17 accel. and works so well in my tactic and sterling should be like that too.
i would just like a more all round harry to not worry about him not being that fast when in all the previous versions pace and accel. is a must for a top scoring striker with a winning tactic.

maybe he could be pace 14 and accel. 16 and it be more like that cause i think kane's accel. is a lot better than your giving him credit for, some of you :)

i remember getting a slow ibrahimovic from an agent request on a free when i qualified for the champions league before only to have him be not to score really at all in a winning tactic.

i guess i could totally change my tactic but kane isnt really a target man and just be's like to be able to do that.
he's more an all round striker at his best.

i've got the official sports interactive in game editor and only made harry kane 14 pace and 16 accel. and he plays more like harry kane then with me watching full game. i dont want to be like i'm cheating and i'm being successful with n'jie without using harry as much if i wanted to and its just to try and get harry to play like harry kane and not be like an average striker.
i just wouldve really liked harry like that in first place so i wouldnt have to edit and have my spurs tactic so different to everyone elses with a target man when harry could play attacking midfield and has one or more times for spurs.
it doesnt matter but its pretty good all the other players this year so it doesnt matter as much.
and like doing sub's matters, not just like you have to do that to have your sqaud happy and to stay with you.
i won't say how many goals i get with harry kane but i'll try and make it realistic and at most half a goal a game for the season or about that anyway.
and no other edit's cause the game is like it's perfect this year nearly.
 
i think harry kane should be like this 14 pace and 16 accel. to play like he really does.
to score more goals and be the threat he is
14 pace, 16 accel., 15 dribb, 15 agility, and then things to make him be the main penalty player like he is:
15 composure, 17 finishing, 15 penalty taking :)

Well I'm glad SI disagree. He's had 1 good season, he's not a God.
 
i think maybe to look what is good about sergio aguero and try and make harry like that a bit.
i've made him 18 accel. now to see if that helps to make him get 1 goal every two games.
why is 1 goal every two games like a god without him having to be a target man like relegation threatened teams play.
i guess its kinda alright how we used to play with peter crouch but harry is so much more a complete player!
sergio aguero is 180 current ability so harry kane should be about 170 depending on what wayne rooney is.
in the man u game against spurs they both were scoreless but wayne was at home so he was worse really.
i looked at wayne rooney and he is 160, so on last seasons form and this seasons harry should be 170 i think current ability and just to work out what ratings should be what. 14 pace and 18 accel. is a must though to have kinda like aguero.

First - Spoilers on the CA, not everyone wants to know.

Second - the researchers know what they are doing. They will have got Kane spot on. Remember, this is on the last 18 months. Only 9 at most of those were good for Kane. He cannot under any circumstances be considered as a world beater, and until he has 2-3 more good seasons, I'd mark him down as reasonably average.
 
Not all strikers are fast. Harry Kane is not deserving of higher pace just because he doesn't fit into all roles of the strikers. It is possible to get him to score without having to have him be faster. If he doesn't fit into your tactic, you can sell him and buy someone who is more fitting, or change your tactic to help him.

The scouts for SI are pretty good at getting players stats balanced to make it realistic compared to the real world.

Not every striker has to be fast to be good, and the same goes for other positions and what people see as their required attributes. You just have to fit them into your tactic better instead of blaming the game. :)
 
maybe its the preferred moves that might be lacking then and i need to train him in better preferred moves, maybe if i have a look at sergio's, who is lighting up my fm16 premier league, then i can add them to the one's harry's got already.
