AI/CPU slider customization

[jourdefoot]

So I've been having trouble playing at Professional difficulty level, yet I stomp at Semi-Pro. I noticed you can change certain aspects of the CPU AI to increase or reduce difficulty. Here are the values listed:

Sprint Speed
Modifies the maximum sprint speed a team can reach.

Acceleration
Modifies the time it takes for a teams player to reach their maximum speed.

Shot Error
Increases/Reduces the amount of error applied to a teams normal shots. This doesn’t affect other types of shots (i.e finesse).

Pass Error
Increases/Reduces the amount of error applied to a teams ground passes. This does not affect other types of passes.

Shot Speed
Increases/reduces the amount of speed applied to a teams normal shots. This doesn’t affect other types of shots (i.e finesse).

Pass Speed
Increases/reduces the amount of speed applied to a teams ground passes. This doesn’t affect other types of passes.

Injury Frequency
Increases/reduces the frequency that injuries occur within a team.

Injury Severity
When a player from a team gets an injury, this will increase/reduce the severity.

Goalkeeper Ability
Increases/reduces the saving ability of the goalkeeper.

Positioning: Marking
Increases/decreases how tightly the defenders mark their opponents.

Positioning: Run frequency
Increases/decreases the number of runs teammates will make.

Positioning: Line height
Specifies how high/low the defensive line will positions themselves for a team.

Positioning: Line Length
Specifies how stretched or compact the team will try to keep their line for the pitch.

Positioning: Line width
Specifies how stretched or compact the team will try to keep for the width of the pitch.

Positioning: Fullback Positioning
Increases/decreases how far the teams fullbacks will push forward.

Power bar
Modifies how quickly/slowly the power bar fills up when you request any type of pass or shot.

Anybody come up with good settings to improve difficulty at semi-pro, or reduce difficulty at pro? I've been playing around with the settings, but I haven't found something I like yet. Basically I want something inbetween semipro and pro so I can gradually start playing at Pro level effectively.

I'm currently using the following at Professional level. The idea is to make the game a touch easier than normal without having to play at the ridiculously easy Sem-Pro level.

Sprint Speed - 48
Acceleration - 48
Shot Error - 52
Pass Error - 52
Shot Speed - 48
Pass Speed - 48
Goalkeeper Ability - 49
Positioning: Marking - 48
Positioning: Run Freq - 49

This puts the CPU at a slight disadvantage in the above areas. The difference looks subtle, but I went from repeatedly drawing 0-0 with Norwich City vs Ipswich Town to winning 3-0, 2-0, etc...

Going from 0-0 to winning 2 and 3-0 seems like you've made it a bit too easy with those settings, but it would be good to make Pro a tiny bit easier than it currently is.

I have made mine for semi-pro.

Haven't touched User Sliders at all. Only CPU. Tell me what you think. I can tell you, I can't score more than 3 goals past big team anymore . I have to fight to win even 1-0 . But it's much more fun xD.

Those settings I only shared with my friends, they all gave feedback which I took under consideration. This is final version of tweaks I made. Now 99% of people who tested this are thanking me for making this game how it should be from the very start. Enjoy and give feedback .

Plus it's now more how I like FIFA to be. More... Pro Evo like AI.

Here is the full match video using those settings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_3QRwvbW2k

Don't you find you get too many serious injuries on the default settings? I had two within the space of a few weeks - both were out for months.

Thanks for these suggested sliders. I'm fairly new to fifa games but I find semi-pro too easy and yet pro is too hard. Somewhere inbetween these two settings would be perfect for me. Will try these out.

Well, I also changed how I approached tactical defending... I stopped using tackle so much and now use contain more when not in my own third. The AI backs off a lot more when you do this.

I also have had several major injuries, especially to my pro in 2 saves. Not sure if it is linked. Glad someone posted having difficulty with pro mode, thought I might just suck that bad.

I have adjusted the settings similar to what you did. My biggest problem is I have 3 players tackle the same player 3 times in a row and the player still manages to keep the ball. Either that or I successfully take the ball away from him but it rolls to his team mate.

HI all, I have been playing with these sliders in world class difficulty, although i cant win all the games i win most of the time with results like 1-0 to 3-2, i am enjoying the difficulty, scoring goals and winning headers have never been so realistic.

Sprint Speed - 55
Acceleration - 50
Shot Error - 50
Pass Error - 50
Shot Speed - 50
Pass Speed - 55
Goalkeeper Ability - 50
Positioning: Marking - 43
Positioning: Run Freq - 60

both same for USER\CPU sliders.

Hello,
anybody here that enjoys to just watch the game and uses the CPU customization for making the game more realistic;;
