Is the Star Rating system broken?

I signed Samaras for Barcelona and his reputation went from Continental to World Class. Fernando Torres is World Class, but he's *****.

I agree with both sides, your players rating is in comparison to the rest of your team mates and players in your current league, but the fact you can have Ronaldo, Messi, Vidal, Kroos, Muller, Suarez, Neymar and the rest of an epic squad full of players means that maybe Falcao will all of a sudden have 2 and a half, or 3 stars is just bullshit.

You want to be able to look at your Bayern or Madrid team and see most world class players with 4 or 5 stars, nothing less.

Exactly. Aside from anything their star rating makes me wonder if they have dropped off or if they haven't been training well and so on and so on.

The stars should be static and that's it. There should be no comparison to your squad, it should simply be based on CA and PA.

What about the player posistion rating?
A few patches ago I noticed before a match the green circle above falcao was full and bright green, when I hovered over it it said "star player" he scored 2 goals but next match the circle was no longer full and the rating was back to excellent.
I started a save recently with Real and after a few games a noticed the same thing with Ronaldo, he's been star player nearly all season then it just randomly started going back to excellent? Didn't seem to have anything to do with form as it would come back if he hadn't scored and go back when he had, seemed random.
Whats that all about?? Is because someone else played better so it decided he wasn't the star anymore then when someone else plays bad he becomes the star player again?

What people want is to have the stars to tell the CA and PA, right?

Well, SI will not give that to you so use Genie scout or FMRTE.

Star system is not broken, period!

Something confuses me in this year's edition: we used to rely on the assistant manager's or head of youth devlopment's evaluation of a player's potential ability.
This year when we custom our character we can put points in youth and player evaluation. But where can we see "our" evaluation of players? My character's judging PA and CA notes are higher than my assitant's so it would help me to find this out.



About the topic: if star rating was absolute and not scaled on team's quality all of our players would have almost the same rating as most teams are quite homogeneous in quality.
Exemple: I just started a game in Italian Serie C. If star rating was absolute my best player would be maybe 1,5 star and my worse 0,5. Then the scale would be truly under-used.
The system is fine but confusing at first, especially when training coaches star rating is absolute (FM 14 at least).

I still understand the OP about world-class player rated 2,5 potential stars.

But: 1) he's probably got a really great team, wich again lowers the rating.

2) the "world-class player" definition is probably not the same for everyone. How many world class players in the real football world? If you ask me, maybe 15. If you ask the game I don't know but much more.

This would be good for the people moaning about player's being unhappy constantly? If this was maxed out would it not pretty much stop this? Or at least lower the amount it happens?
