Beta could you take a look into player growth? It doesn't seem to work very well. After one season with Everton here are some of the players growth.

Inigo Martinez (23) +1
Matip (23) +0
Mccarthy (24) +1
Atsu (22) +1
Barkley (21) +1
Lukaku (21) +1
Bruma (20) +0
Stones (20) +1

And then for some reason, Eto'o went from 81 to 83. Some, not all, of the player at 55-65 do grow +2 +3, but for the players above who are all young and played almost every game in the season to only grow +1 doesn't seem right.
Yeah, player growth is really hard to tweak (for some reason). I have already lowered some values, but we need to find what is causing it. There should be an age stop. Is this also in the vanilla?

The bug where international friendlies clash with lower english division fixtures seems to occur in vanilla fifa as well. Could you have a look at the issue and see if you can find a fix?
Sorry, don't have the time to look at this issue. This is only in the first season right? If so, the schedule(s) need to be edit. If not, will take a look at internationals.txt

Also, career crashing when progressing to second season :(
No crash here. Try to load the career again. Crashes can occur, and also be patient when the season loads. I have increased the numbers so it takes a bit longer to process. ;)

I can see that this project is nearing its non-RC form. Very good work beta! Couple things I noticed with RC15:
1. there is this one annoying player on bench that says he's in a great form and asks to be put into the next game every freaking round. Thinking that putting him into the first team may fix it, another player comes up and throws a tantrum. Every damn game.
2. In the preview news of an upcoming game, the article mentions one of my players not expected to show up to the game for being sent off the previous game, which is not true. I am able to play with that player in the squad no matter what the article says, though.

I also wanted to ask why the finances must be in pounds? And why the call for dollars conversion isn't in your file. If you wanted to use pounds as the unit of finances, dollars go 1.6 to 1 nowadays.
1. Yes, this is because I tweaked storylinestuning.lua:
Code:
-- RESERVE PLAYER REQUEST
chanceToStart = 100, -- Chance the player will ask to be play. (100) // lower this
reserveRequestCooldown = 1, -- Days until story can re-fire. (21) // Increase this or set to default
I like this behavior, because this a bit more realistic, but I understand it can be annoying. :P
2. Hmm, that is strange. Maybe because of the increased stories, the game doesn't always get it right. :P
Will take a look at it. :)
3. Because EA uses pounds to define budgets/wages, etc. as default.
As for dollar:
Code:
[CONVERSION]
USDOLLAR = 1.32
I don't know much about the dollar stands:
1 British pound =
1.58715 U.S. dollars

How about more details?

Which version are you using?
What ovr. did he had? (which year in your career?)
Are we talking about Euro?
Which db are you using?

Im asking, because i dont get any numbers close to yours.

Version 1.0RC 15, overall 92, in euros. Not using the gameplay patch but have the latest Modding Way Patch installed and have made the career mode start in 2015. Matrix DB 2.0 from moddingway.

Never had this issue before while using moddingway or editing the start year before.

Hmm, don't use Moddingway myself. I also know about issues with the Matrix DB (weird increased values). A workaround is to lower // Player Wages (see transferteamdecision.ini). Take a look at the (wage) prestige numbers.

Beta, apologies if this has been asked, but had a question.

Just wanted to mess around with the transfer fees and values. Can I just move the transferteamdecision.ini file, regenerate and play. Or do I need to move all of the files over for it to be read and work in career mode. When I try to just move that single file over, the game freezes and crashes.

Does it need your database for it to work?

Thanks for your work on this, appreciate it!

At the start of a new season, all my players seem to lose a bit of their physical stats (Latest version). Some younger players such as Guadino (Bayern) don' seem to grow at all even when put out on loan. Also is there a way to edit the club job offers that you can apply to? It's annoying to see only 2 offers from clubs that aren't even in the Europa League. I tried looking at
// Manager Job Offers
[JOBOFFER]
RANDOM_JOB_OFFER_EXPIRE=
BROWSING_LEAGUES_TO_PROCESS=
RANDOM_LEAGUES_TO_PROCESS=
CHANCE_USE_LEAGUE_ABOVE=

but I couldnt seem to find out something that would work :P

This patch is not compatible to Matrix DB.

Gaudino grows 4-6 points in one season for me.

I have read the FAQ and this thread as much I can but I am still trying to get an understanding of how this patch works.

Question 1: I using the Moddingway mod, so I need to perform a manual install. Now as I understand, if I want to keep the game as close to vanilla as possible (i.e. no db edits), copy the folder "mod" to my main game folder. Is this correct?

Question 2: BUT, what do the 2 folders inside the "mod" folder do? They are called "data" and "dlc". The "dlc" folder has the "gtndatareveal" file inside it, which I though was supposed to be separate.

Question 3: I understand (sort of) how to fiddle around with the various strings for transfers, growth, etc... BUT I want to change the European Cup seedings. How do I do this?

Thanks to beta for creating this patch. I apologize if these are really basic questions but I have tried my best to read as much as possible before asking about them.

What exactly are you trying to do? Edit transfer values?
Install the mod, edit transferteamdecision.ini with Notepad++. Regenerating again is not necessary.
If you remove that file (transferteamdecision.ini), than you will need to regenerate, before starting the game.

No, database is not needed.

1. The files/directories inside the mod folder, need to be copied (data, dlc).
2. Not true
3. Edit euro..xsl file (see dlc). The Team ID's can be found with DB Master.

Np. :)

Maybe because I removed the db files from the installation mainly so I can continue my career mode as I'm not planning to start a new career mode. The growth is not too much of a big problem for me(Some people do grow 4+ points)
my main issue is concerning the job offers. It gets frustrating not being able to join a club at the end of the season that is at least in the champions league or something

Thanks for the quick reply, really appreciate the help. I just have a couple of quick follow up questions.

1.Safe to assume that I can edit the eurotable file in excel? No need for notepad ++?

2. In your notes you mention that the "db" folder addresses "More rivals, a bit budget tweaking, game-sliders". Do you mind explaining this a little more? It sounds like I would want to try this out, I'm just not really clear on the impact it will have in-game.

Thanks again.

See joboffers.ini, there are multiple strings that can be added.

1. No, always edit with a good text editor. Notepad++ works best on Windows.
2. Not much: game sliders (speed, shooting, etc.) and rivals are added. Like Chelsea > Man Utd. Why wouldn't they be rivals?

Hi beta, thanks for the reply. Yes, I wanted to edit the transfer values.

I didn't install the whole mod, just the transferteamdecision.ini file with only the information the effects the values. I figured since it was still in beta, I would just add what was needed at the moment, but something was causing a crash. Perhaps I will just install everything and see what happens.

Thanks again for your work!

I ran a couple of 2-3 season simulations and found the following using 1.0RC15:

- Mostly realistic transfers/need based transfers (e.g. Sell GK then buy replacement GK)
- not enough transfers: I'm playing in the EPL, so I can only see team-by-team breakdowns for this league BUT too many teams are comepletely inactive or sell a player for a huge sum and basically hoard the money
- transfers mostly seem to happen in the winter for some reason
- relegated teams sell high value players (this was very cool!, Sunderland was relegated in yr1 then sold 15M worth of players in order to deal with lower budget)
- loan listed players actually having loan bids (much better than the default)

Overall, this patch is very close to completion IMHO. Is there any string that forces clubs to spend x amount of their budget? OR a string that would require a minimum number of superstar players (e.g. if a club like Chelsea sells Hazard --which they did-- they should go out to replace him with another superstar level player).

Alternatively, what are some key strings to increase transfers and loans for CPU teams? I'd like to try and see if it is the number of bids or whether the players are rejecting the bids.

Thanks for the hard work.

Ah, now I know what you mean. :)

This is what you need to do:
1. Download the vanilla .zip file (see Doc)
2. Copy transferteamdecision.ini to the (correct) game dlc folder
3. Copy contents from playervalues.ini into transferteamdecision.ini, just add the contents of playervalues.ini at the end of the file (without replacing the already contents)

I think you removed the original contents of transferteamdecision.ini, what you don't need to do! :P

Thanks for the feedback! Great you're enjoying playing with this mod. :)

I agree transfers needs more tweaking, without transfers being not to much realistic.

I think the following strings control transfers (since the rest is already increased/to game max.):
Code:
[TRANSFER]
MIN_PLAYERS_POSITION_GK = 2
MIN_PLAYERS_POSITION_RB = 2
MIN_PLAYERS_POSITION_CB = 4
MIN_PLAYERS_POSITION_LB = 2
MIN_PLAYERS_POSITION_RM = 2
MIN_PLAYERS_POSITION_CM = 4
MIN_PLAYERS_POSITION_LM = 2
MIN_PLAYERS_POSITION_ST = 3
TOP_PLAYERS = 3

[DEFAULTS]
MIN_GK_PER_SQUAD = 2
MIN_SQUAD_SIZE = 18
I haven't tried tweaking the values, because I don't want to break the game. But maybe increasing the values above, will let teams have more players/transfers.

I like this behavior, because this a bit more realistic, but I understand it can be annoying. :P

The problem is that because EA do their usual throw something in with no programming logic and/or testing it's bound to be wrong the more often it's triggered, I just had a league match where a player played and then he demanded to start in the UCL match 2 days later despite being at about 1/3 stamina, then of course he whined because he didn't play.

It's similar to when a player demands to go out on loan....in March...
