Official attributes

Please remember that any numeric rating is indicating the rating of the attribute on world-wide basis and not relative to the league or competition the official is playing in. This means that in an attribute that accepts values from 0 to 20, 0 is random, 1 is the worst possible standard anywhere in the world at any time, so 20 is the best possible standard anywhere in the world at any time.

If this is not taken into consideration when changing the data, this will in turn make a newly created game very unrealistic.
