Playmakers are those who can start moves that will result into goals. Football brains, ability to hold up the ball to look for openings, good anticipation, positioning (right place, right time) and the bravery to take risks. Doesn't have to be fast, ability to strike fear on the defenders which matters most.
does the playmaker has to be the one who assists in goals all the time?
because ronaldo of real madrid has one of the highest assist the team, should he be considered a playmaker?
or
zidane who has far less assist than ronaldo!
and do playmakers have to be behind the front two ?
or could they play in the wings like zidane or ronaldinho

Re: What,Who is a playmaker
To be a playmaker, you need a lot of stamina - as you have to be (directly or indirectly) involved in a lot of plays. As you mentioned, technical mastery is a requirement. You should be able to settle and release any ball that is thrown in your direction. Tactically, a good understanding of the game is important. Playmakers control the flow of a game.
I don't think any of the players you mentioned are real playmakers, except for Zidane. Totti is another good example.

i am buffled MODERATORS and EXPERTS can playmakers exist without defensive mildfielders. i dont think zidane would have had chance to express himself in juventus without Edgar David and in Real Madrid without Makelele or now Gravesen
so are the best playmakers those who can defend and attack pretty well such as Gerrad, Ballack rather than Ronaldinho, Riquelme who dont defend as well
