The coaches ratings with patch 9.3.0 in Football Manager 2009 seem to have changed quite a bit. I noticed that my 7 star coaches went to 4 or 5 stars after installing the patch, so I knew that we had a new formula for calculating the coaches ratings. The new formula is a little bit more complicated, but it works well once you get used to it. Here are the new requirements to get 7 stars for each training category:
| Strength, Aerobics |
|
| Fitness = 20 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 45 |
| Fitness = 19 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 50 |
| Fitness = 18 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 54 |
| Fitness = 17 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 59 |
| |
|
| Goelkeeper |
|
| Goalkeeping = 20 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 50 |
| Goalkeeping = 19 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 52 |
| Goalkeeping = 18 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 54 |
| Goalkeeping = 17 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 56 |
| Goalkeeping = 16 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 58 |
| Goalkeeping = 15 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 60 |
| |
|
| Tactics |
|
| Tactical = 20 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 50 |
| Tactical = 19 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 52 |
| Tactical = 18 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 54 |
| Tactical = 17 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 56 |
| Tactical = 16 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 58 |
| Tactical = 15 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 60 |
| |
|
| Defense |
|
| Defensive = 20 |
Tactical + Determination + discipline + motivation >= 67 |
| Defensive = 19 |
Tactical + Determination + discipline + motivation >= 70 |
| Defensive = 18 |
Tactical + Determination + discipline + motivation >= 72 |
| Defensive = 17 |
Tactical + Determination + discipline + motivation >= 75 |
| Defensive = 16 |
Tactical + Determination + discipline + motivation >= 78 |
| Defensive = 15 |
Tactical + Determination + discipline + motivation >= 80 |
| |
|
| Attack (example) |
|
| Attack =20; Tactical =17 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 50 |
| Attack =19; Tactical =19 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 50 |
| |
|
| Ball Control (example) |
|
| Technique =20; Mental =17 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 50 |
| Technique =19; Mental =19 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 50 |
| |
|
| Shooting (example) |
|
| Attack =20; Technique =17 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 50 |
| Attack =19; Technique =19 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 50 |
| |
|
| Set Pieces (example) |
|
| Attack = 19; Mental = 19; Technical = 19 |
Determination + discipline + motivation >= 50 |
You might have noticed that I gave only a few axamples for the Attack, Ball Control, Shooting and Set Pieces categories. That’s because the formulas are too complicated and I believe that I can help you more with these examples than with the whole formulas. To make things even simpler you can download a spreadsheet that you can use to calculate your coaches training stars easily. You can download it from here.
