Why is there a max level for players ?

[antivapeur]

It seems that 100 is the max level for players. For me it sort of kills the fun knowing that however well I develop my players they'll max out eventually.
There's no max for players in real life so why have a max in the game ?

Also it levels the field too much in the top leagues in my opinion, as most teams have a bunch of those maxed out players.
As such there aren't any stars in-game above the level of others. No Messi or Ronaldo or Mbappé.
I've been playing for a while (20+ hours) and haven't reached the Premier League yet (started from National League) but still it discourages me knowing that whatever I do at one point my players will be capped. Also it seems like if you get a 5* giftedness player he'll max out and will be hard-capped at level 100 as soon as 23 or 24 years old.

To me, you're not really capped by the level 100 but by the giftedness that slowers your progresssion (10% EXP in last tier)
So you shouldn't actually expect your 0-star players to reach level 20 (sell between 10-15)

There is this 100 limit because in this game, but there is no cap for each stat (Acc/ Pas/ Def/ Ctrl). And you could reach an infinite number of acc
Do you complain about fifa when Ronaldo longshot is 93 and is capped by 100 ? (or Mbappé speed)

Anyway, if you want to make reaching 100 very hard you can lower the teams in the database so that premiere league teams are around 50 - 70 or whatever

PS : on contrary, some people created database "real name" full of 100 and that's a problem because my premiere league is around 70 while España and France are 100 and win all the european competitions)

There is a cap to all attributes as they are determined by level. All level 100 players attributes add up to 317. A level 1 footballer has 20 points spread over the 4 attributes. Then he gets 3 points a level. So that is a max of 20 + 297 (99 x 3) on levelling up.

And I have never seen a player with a value of 0 for any attribute. So the maximum amount for any attribute must be 314 or lower, depending if there are any other limitations. In practice, getting a single attribute above 300 would be very unlikely.

1) Max level is to have a general image of what is powerful and what is weak. Very easy to read scale.

2) 100 level doesn't mean that all footballers of that level are top-notch. The 100-level forward with two level 3 skills and very big Accuracy or Control is not the same as 100-level CF with the skill Throw out of 1st level and average attributes.

3) Same for Giftedness. The number of stars show how potentially good the footballer might be. But if his skill is not very useful on his position or if his attributes are not that good, he won't match other footballers with the same number of stars.

4) Therefore, Ronaldo or Messi are the footballers which not only have 5 stars and high level but also have the very best skills for their positions and very good distribution of their attributes.
