If you want the game to look perfect and much more real do this;

Open aimain file from your demo folder and type this values:// aimain.ini

MAX_BALL_VELOCITY_XZ = 40.0
MAX_BALL_VELOCITY_Y = 25.0
BALL_AIR_RESISTANCE_XZ = 0.0125
BALL_AIR_RESISTANCE_Y = 0.0015
BALL_GRAVITY = -0.18
BALL_BOUNCE_COEFF_XZ = 0.925
BALL_BOUNCE_COEFF_Y = 0.925
BALL_ROLLING_COEFF_Y = 0.985
SMOOTH_BLIP_MULTIPLIER = 5
OFFSIDE_TRAP_CANCEL_DIST = 240
OFFSIDE_TRAP_CANCEL_TIME = 360
OFFSIDE_TRAP_MARGIN = 240
RAINBOW_HEIGHT = 144
RAINBOW_DISTANCE = 580
LOB_PEAK_RATIO = 12
TACKLE_BLIP_MULTIPLIER = 5
CROSS_PEAK_RATIO = 12

Can't wait to try this. Is it possible to change other things in this way, if so, wouldn't it be great to have a 'cookbook' of things you can adjust for the perfect game.

that just shows how unreal fifa is, it always has the same amout of ball bounce and ball roll no wonder the ball always follows the same path

for those of you who misunderstand, it is worth knowing that a factor like ball bounce if interpreted as how much the ball will bounce under certain conditions is what is referred, how ever is referece BALL REFERENCE made by israel, is the laymans name for co-efficient of restitution or elasicity then tha most be fixed and cannot of course be varied, for obvious reasons

Your right mace and even more right about them not wanting to make a perfect game.

nice post http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/wink.gif

Israel:
What the hell are you talking about?
Those are the EXACT SAME values I ALREADY have for all of the settings...

Palestine http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

I put the original ones istead of the ones I´ve made, sorry , here they come:// aimain.ini

MAX_BALL_VELOCITY_XZ = 37.0
MAX_BALL_VELOCITY_Y = 22.0
BALL_AIR_RESISTANCE_XZ = 0.0127
BALL_AIR_RESISTANCE_Y = 0.0017
BALL_GRAVITY = -0.16
BALL_BOUNCE_COEFF_XZ = 0.928
BALL_BOUNCE_COEFF_Y = 0.928
BALL_ROLLING_COEFF_Y = 0.998
SMOOTH_BLIP_MULTIPLIER = 5
OFFSIDE_TRAP_CANCEL_DIST = 220
OFFSIDE_TRAP_CANCEL_TIME = 330
OFFSIDE_TRAP_MARGIN = 220
RAINBOW_HEIGHT = 144
RAINBOW_DISTANCE = 580
LOB_PEAK_RATIO = 10
TACKLE_BLIP_MULTIPLIER = 5
CROSS_PEAK_RATIO = 10

I must admit that those settings do affect the gameplay a bit, especially the keeper who doesn't seem to kick the ball as far anymore. Good work, Israel...

EA have to get rid of these special moves and try to actually watch a player dribble by cutting the ball left or right. when the player runs with the ball he's actually pushing the ball in front of him and he then might have to push the ball past an opposing player with speed? If there are too many opposing players, WELL he'll have to pass the ball off to someone else who may be in the clear.
the 360 spin will make winning games very easy even in "world class" mode
It was easy in fifa99 and even easier to win games in fifa2000 in "world class"

EA must redesign the dribbling engine if they are to capture the magic of "total football"

Well Done Mace, excellent observation of what FIFA lacks..!

You are absolutely right Axiom if this is the case in the full game, what a shame. You would think they would combine the ball velocity and bounce etc on different factors, for example it isn't hard to make ball pass velocity (given it doesn't have a power bar as the shoot is adjustable) dependent on the speed the player is running at (different depending on whether the players is using the speed burst button or not which in turn depends on the players speed statistic) I could get very complicated but given this small algorithm and making it contain a few more variables I don't think would effect the game speed or space at all. I think the programmers were being lazy, unfortunately, we would never be able to change that individually, without re-writting most of the code which I DON'T RECOMMEND ANYONE DO at all, as you could spend ages debugging it, but that was just one simple example of many things.

But if you think about it, they can't make the perfect game now can they, or they wouldn't have a sequel to produce every year and rake in more money, it is purely a business decision no more no less. But it is just so unfair, they could make an authentic thorough game with perfectly acccurate; season gameplays with multiplay, accurate stadiums and players and/or make your game a journey-like adventure like ISS (following one player) integrate interantional games if you take player role, or manager role as in their manager games (as oppsed to separate opions for friendly and tournaments as we all know players are affected by international friendlies and tournaments: it is not very hard to allow you to customise the season option if you wanted. They could then send updated teams, updated commentaries, more stadia to download as patches etc, then release new versions once every 2-4 years instead of every year, when they have sufficient improvement in their AI engine for gameplay, and can improve better motion capture and crowd animations graphics, better realise stadiums etc, release a new game, it would be as successful if not more. They can put all the extra things in the game, the things they claim they didn't hear people suggest, or the things they said there wasn't enough sapce for? Why not release two CDs for the PC? admittedly the play station would lose out, but playstation2 and dolphin are soon out, and they use DVDs (17Gb on average)they could cope with the code, and the multiple CDs can have all the memory eating features (like all the stadiums)as option to download to the hard disk drive depending on the users' resources .

In my opinion EA FIFA are good, because so far its the best they've made and its fun, but could do so much more on the so called 'little' things like having players slip more in rain when doing sharp turns or certain special moves, ability to choose to program who comes forward in set pieces 1-3, refrees showing two yellow cards if thats the booking, as you all know the list goes on and on. They should especially when other games are compteing better in terms of gameplay. Maybe business minds might rethink their strategy.

Hmmm....this sounds good !
