Well, I see the community has put out quite a few patches, and I was wondering if anyone has written a good tutorial on what it takes to make your own gameplay patch. I'd like to try my hand at fixing some things that really get under my skin.
First thing I want to change is that ridiculous "protest" animation that runs anytime your player is tackled hard, yet doesn't draw a foul. Since it's scripted, your player will stop mid-play, and throw his hands up and look to the ref. The problem is that often you can quickly recover and start the counter, but since your player is locked in the middle of a scripted animation, the ball bounces off him, ruining the whole flow of the game.
I'd like to kill it entirely, if possible. I have a list in my head of things I'd like to try to patch, but that one happened to me like 6 times today so I thought I'd use it as an example.
