The 8 Core Player Attributes * SPD (Speed): Controls movement velocity, slide-tackle reach, and jump distance. Essential for recovering loose balls quickly. * POW (Power): Dictates tackle impact. Higher power inflicts severe damage to opponents' health meters, accelerating player injuries. * STA (Stamina): Serves as the primary defense against Power.
