    FIFA 15 Better Career Patch

    Looking at the ratingcurvetable.txt file This is actually backwards as written. As it stands, if a player's attribute is unusually high, it tells the game to grow it even more, and if unusually low to not grow it at all. If it's actually coded like this, well no wonder the physical stats are...

    Best Way to Scout?

    Realize this is an old thread but I have a theory on how the scouting algorithm works. I believe what happens is that the game picks out players based on the current salaries of the players on your team. So if everyone on your team is making 200 to 250 a game, they don't pop up some guy rated...

    Fifa 08 Best Youngs

    He's on the box in North America so that makes some sense. Ashman, When a player refuses to sign for you, he doesn't disappear. You'll find if you keep scouting there he'll show up again (or someone else might wind up with him). There's probably even better guys hidden out there, but he's...

    Best Young Americans?

    Bought Altidore for Barcelona and he goes up to around 88. Freddy Adu gets up to around 83. If you want to be technical about it, you could always buy Giuseppe Rossi. He's as much an American as Freddy Adu (probably moreso) even if he'd rather play for Italy.

    Best Signings For Sunderland...

    I always dislike this because it seems too much like cheating to me. If I sign a free agent, I always make a rule for myself that I have to wait a year to sell the guy (and that means having to pay his wages for a year). It's the case in real life, so I figure why not here since it becomes way...

    Best Signings For Sunderland...

    Try Miguel Veloso (CDM) from Sporting Lisbon. You can get him for about 3.5 million pounds. He starts at around 79 and goes up quickly to around 90. He's a good guy because he's currently better than your Sunderland midfielders AND he grows from here. You can try Danilinho from Atletico...

    Fifa 08 Best Youngs

    Here's what I got so far using mostly Barcelona. Some of the ratings may be a little different depending on your game. The three numbers are: first year, 6th year and 7th year (when I have them). Then I list starting team and position: Josmer Altidore - ST - 72 - 88 - 88 - New York Red Bulls...

    Bad things about fifa 08

    PES has its own problems, mainly that if you live in North America it's release date will be closer to FIFA 09 than FIFA 08. I don't think FIFA 08 is that bad, but I am a little miffed that they went the PES route and made it near impossible to beat the CPU on the dribble, and nearly as...

    PS2 Be A Player Mode - I'm so confused

    So far you can definitely do "be a pro" just if you want to do a simple one-off game. I've done it. My opinion on 'be a pro' so far is that I like the concept, and it is kinda fun, but there's some work that still needs to be done to get the implementation right. My guess is that it would be...

    Frustration!!!!

    I'm not sure whether this is true, but it seems to me this year they've made it slightly harder to take the ball with a soft tackle and a lot easier to win it with a slide tackle. If you'd been trained by previous versions to virtually never slide in because little good could come from it, try...

    Do you guys on assist for shots, pass, through pass, crosses etc. ?

    I like the manual through ball for sure. It gives you so much more creative freedom to make the pass you're trying to make. It also brings in an added element of necessary playing skill that matches a real life challenge: putting the proper weight on the ball. I'm less sold on manual crossing...

    Fifa 08 Best Youngs

    I'm going to try and quick sim my way from Dag and Red to someone like Barcelona (or Man United or Inter or a team like that). Until I get to Barca will be buying mostly old players (since I leave the club after two seasons at most) so I won't know any until then. Once I get there, I'll post...
