Hi all,

I have been able to spend of lot more time on FEd2002 in the past week as my work commitments slowed down.

I am happy to report that FEd2002 is just about ready to go to the beta testers. Unlike other years, this year I only asked just a handful of testers to help me out. This is to speed up the testing process and therefore getting the program out to you sooner.

Don't expect the first release to have everything in it. In fact it will be fairly basic. You can change player attributes, team properties, strategy. You can import player's faces, team jerseys and badges. You can transfer players. And that's about it.

I later versions, I'll add other features like creating new teams. players, leagues. Support audio etc...

For those who has offered to do the translation, I'll contact you as soon as I finalise all the text that going to be used in the program. Many thanks in advance though.

Cheers

WOW those are GREAT news Chau!!!
I hope the beta testers don't find any bugs so you can release it sooner :P
anywyas, good luck to you and the betatesters!!

will fed be compatible with WC2002?

because after playing the demo, I really don't feel like playing fifa2002 ever again! :D

that are good news... fed will be very usfull this year

Thx Chau... that's really cool!:) :cool:

Some of you might be happy that I told you a lie there!

After posting this message, I went and had a look at the WC2002 demo data file and found that even though they are slightly different, they can be read with very little modifications. For example, teams now have 40 players instead of 32. Besides that everything is much the same.

So, it's good news all round!

Will try to post a screen shot later on!

Cheers

Here is a screenshot of England strategy screen

So my faces will be avaible for players with no specific face?

That will be great

Thanks Sir Chau

Greetings

About the head shape, would you want to be able to nominate the head shape you want when importing the faces?

In FEd2001, I use a default head shape (I thing it was hhead000.rav) and it was not really suitable for every face.

You finish with fed email me here (gianpanos@hotmail.com) or here (gianpano@otenet.gr)

For translation!!;) :mrpimp:

Thanks for the update - I can't wait.

Hi Chau
Well this is the best news since the release of Fifa 2002. I am a division leader in Denmark´s biggest online league. We are in Total more than 50 players and BADLY in need of FED2002 to edit the player attributes. The guys from FCDB XP has promised us a beta for a long time but keep on letting us down. We would really like to have a chance for being a BETA tester if you could be so kind and consider us.

Feel free to contact me on ICQ 98067677

Cheers and hopes from René Hansen

Great News! :)

Keep up the good work Chau!

Chau - what's the ETA looking like on the 'import new team' feature? I've got a killa kit for the Albion on hold for Fed as we're going up to Div 1 next season :D

zig :D

Hi Chau,
Will Fed 2002 have the ability to change the gameplay? I think it's a nice idea to have the original gameplay changed since the teams are using LONG BALL too often. I think some teams like Brazil and Argentina will use more short passes instead of long balls. Anyway, thanks for your great work. Hope Fed 2002 be a success.

Hey Chau, could i plz ask u something, olny one question, but not on the forum?
Whats ur email address? Plz email me at abba@www.com, so i can reply(i assume u dont want to post your address all over the board!)

You can always PM me

Here's the screen shot

Thanks heaps Chau.
Looks like the player numbers will need to be changed to the real ones, but at least they are closer then FIFA 2002, they got most the number right, but skoko 25, no way!
And agostino always wears 18!!
Also i will move Kewell to LM, and Agostino to replace Lazaridis and play forward.
And Craig Moore right back! pfft thw whole back line shoud be shifted one to the left(vidmar LB, popovic CB, Moore, CB, and muscat RB). and they got the backs thing reversed, it was murphy starting in 14, and popovic on the bench in 5! doesnt matter, good effort this time EA!
One last thing, why have EA still left out Hayden Foxe, Mile Sterjovski, and Scott Chipperfield..
ahh well, once again thanks heaps Chau!
