Hi everyone.

Want to make the best patch ever? Using this friendly version of the soccer.ini file you can tweak the most importants features of the game. You can download the file here (http://www.geocities.com/cdmdp13/downloads/fifa2002.html) then tweak it and save it to your FIFA 2002 folder (don't forget to backup the original file).

Need more info? Read on!

The objective of this soccer.ini patch is to allow EVERYONE to finetune FIFA 2002 the way they want it.

All the options included in this ini file are explained and grouped in a more friendly order (notice that not all the options from ini.big are actually in the file, only the most important ones and the ones I can explain). The original values appear first commented, the actual value appear after the explanations.

I did some tweaking myself, but because you can see the original values you can easily undo my changes, here's a short list of changes I've made:

- Players get tired faster
- The ball bounces more and its velocity is a little faster
- CPU initiated runs may go offside
- Higher chance of a player been injured or winded (from 10% to 20%) in a collision

You can tweak MANY other things using this file (including passing, shoting, injuries, stamina, ball physics, etc.), give it a look in notepad before you try it, I think all of you will like it. (You can edit and save this file with notepad, you will not need and hex editor or the dos edit, thanks to fifafx for pointing this out)

How big have to be the chances???

I am sorry but I am not sure I understand your question.

You can tweak the game in your own way using this file. Some of the variables include "normal" ranges listed, some not. Try changing the values in small amounts up or down if you are not sure about a particular value.

Hope this answers you question. If not, then please ask again.

well, I tried and it didnt work. I dont know what seems to be a problem and I will be gratefull if you can help me. I did edit that 'ini.big' file and after that I cant run fifa2002. I even try to edit just one thing like passing model and it doesn't work, no metter what I do!

Pls help me if you can!

Thanx!

EDIT: orginally passing is set to '2' and when I try to change it from '2' to '1' it doesent work and than when I change it back to '2', it doesnt work either ....I am confused :((

OK, let's break it down in parts:

1. You can only edit the ini.big file with an hex editor or the DOS edit utility, you can NOT edit it with notepad. If you did so then the file is corrupted and you need to restore it from the CD.

2. You DON'T NEED to edit your ini.big file, you can put all your tweaks on the soccer.ini file (this file CAN be edited with notepad without problems). All the settings in soccer.ini will override your default ini.big settings.

Hope this help.

After you fix your installation please try my soccer.ini and tell me what you think.

Thanx!

Nobody has any comments for this one? Maybe some of the patch makers could give it a look and continue documenting the soccer.ini / ini.big files so we can all have some fun tweaking the game :)

Lil' bit late, but you've answered my question :) Thnxzz
