Fifa 12 Specialities Requirements

 Here is a rough guide of the requirements of obtaining specialities.


POACHER

Player's Attack and Defence Work Rates CANNOT BOTH be set to High. Any other combination is fine.

You also need Finishing 85 and Heading 75.

Players cannot have Poacher and Engine together as the Work Rates are at odds with one another.

You must have at least one of Poacher or Clinical Finishing to count towards Complete Forward.


SPEEDSTER

Acceleration and Sprint Speed must TOTAL at least 180. This could mean a 90/90 split, or even a 99/81 split either way.


AERIAL THREAT

For players 6'2 and under; Heading 90, then get either Jumping or Strength to 85.

For players 6'3 and 6'4 in height; Heading 90.

For players 6'5 and over; Heading 75.


DRIBBLER

When either editing a real-life player with 5* Skill Moves, or giving a Creation Centre player 5* Skill Moves; he will also need Dribbling 86.

When either editing a real-life player with between 1* and 4* star Skill Moves, or giving a Creation Centre player between 1* and 4* Skill Moves; he will also need Dribbling 86 and Balance 75.

When creating a new player in-game, there are two methods of getting this speciality.

Dribbling 86 Balance 75. This will give him 4* Skill Moves and the Dribbler Speciality.

Dribbling 86 Agility 76. This will give him 5* Skill Moves and the Dribbler speciality.

Note that a player created in-game can get a maximum of a 4* Skill Moves from putting his Dribbling stat high, getting his Agility up to 76 boosts his rating from 4* Skill Moves up to 5* Skill Moves.

Real-life players' Skill Moves are preset and cannot be changed, and you can assign a Creation Centre players' Skill Moves rating yourself. In the cases of these players, Agility has no effect towards him getting Dribbler.


PLAYMAKER

Player MUST have at least one of CDM, CM, or CAM listed as one of the positions he can play in his Player Bio. It doesn't have to be his primary position though.

He also needs Short Passing 86, Vision 86 and Long Pass 73.

Playmaker is a CRITICAL speciality to count towards Complete Midfielder.


ENGINE

Players' Work Rates MUST be set to High for both Attack and Defence.

He also needs Stamina 86.

Players cannot have Poacher and Engine together as the Work Rate requirements are at odds with each other.


DISTANCE SHOOTER

Shot Power and Long Shots must TOTAL 174. This could be an 87/87 split, or even a 99/75 split either way.


CROSSER

Crossing 86, Curve 80.


FK SPECIALIST

Free Kicks 86, then get either Curve or Shot Power to 85.


TACKLING

Standing Tackle 86, Sliding Tackle 85.

Tackling is a CRITICAL speciality to count towards Complete Defender.


TACTICIAN

Interceptions 86, Reactions 80.

Tactician is a CRITICAL speciality to count towards Complete Defender.


ACROBAT

COMPLETE DEFENDER

A minimum of 3 Specialities that complement a Defender. You MUST have TACKLING and TACTICIAN, plus at least one of these; Aerial Threat, Acrobat, Strength.


COMPLETE MIDFIELDER

A minimum of 3 Specialities that complement a Midfielder. You MUST have PLAYMAKER, plus at least two of these; Dribbler, Engine, Distance Shooter, Crosser, FK Specialist, Tackling, Clinical Finishing.


COMPLETE FORWARD

A minimum of 3 Specialities that complement a Forward. None are critical on their own, but two stand out as if you have neither you'll not get the speciality, you must have at least one of them. I'll break them into 2 groups.

IMPORTANT SPECIALITIES; Poacher, Clinical Finishing.

STANDARD SPECIALITIES; Speedster, Aerial Threat, Dribbler, Strength.

Using these groups, you will get Complete Forward by obtaining ONE Important Speciality plus at least TWO Standard Specialities, or BOTH Important Specialities plus at least ONE Standard Speciality.
