Player Cards

Player Cards are a game mechanic from the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise. Applied to each individual player, Player Cards give specific attributes and abilities, which allow the AI to better mirror the behaviour of real soccer players, based on position, style, etc. While Player Cards are just one of the three specialization options for players in PES, the term has come to encompass the other two options, Playing Styles, and COM Playing Styles as well. As per the Rules of the Infinity Cup, there are limits to how many Player Cards an individual player can have.

For reference, the current ruleset states:
 * 1 Card for, automatically assigned to GK Long Throw
 * 2 Cards each for non-medals
 * 3 Cards for a Bronze player
 * 4 Cards for a Silver player
 * 6 Cards for a Gold player
 * Captain of each team also gets Captaincy Card in addition to these limits

Playing Styles
Each player gets one Playing Style, and it does not count as one of their Cards. Playing Styles are specific to certain positions, which means they are useless if placed on a player playing a different position.

COM Playing Styles
Each COM Playing Style counts as one Card, and is thus subject to player limits.

Player Cards
Sometimes listed as "Player Skills".
