The "Motivator" special attribute

[bmcauley]

Has anyone purchased the "Motivator" attribute for their coach? It says it increases the POT max for players. It also costs 40,000 attribute points. Just wondering if it works and what impact it makes.

Yes, I have, and it functions exactly like you think it would.
Players who were a potential of 90 Overall suddenly become 92 or 93 potential.

Many coaches will start a career with the intention of earning the Motivator. Meaning, they use their initial points when you start a coach to target getting to Motivator. I start with Ambition but I head straight to Motivator if I'm going to play 4+ seasons.

It works as advertised. When you get it, it takes a few days to go into effect, but it can turn stop gap starters into Pro Bowlers and Pro Bowlers in HOFers.

Ok so Im hearing its worth the points.

With it, have you seen any POT 99s? For instance, LT E. Oshiawko is POT 98 without the motivator attribute. I wonder if he would be at 99?

Thanks for the info. I will definitely save up for it.

Yes you will turn a 98 into 99. One thing to note is the skills cap at 99. So if you have a guy with some skills at 99 and the rest at like 40 it won't make much difference (it will pop him to 50 or so in his other skills which STILL suck).

But overall, it will round out a guy very nicely and make studs into super-stars.

With ambition it costs 34,000...
It puts you 1/3-ish of the way to making your money back.

Yea, I thought about that. It would save me more points in the long run as well. Especially since I am only in my 3rd year.

Makes the game way to easy once you have it
