Biggy's Fifa 06 GAMEPLAY UPDATE - V. 1

[sa33ood]

I know that a lot of you are so bored of the number of gameplay updates that keep coming out from many people, but the whole thing is for to get to the best Fifa 06 experience possible.

I've been working on an update that I hope you will like and give feedback to me about. I've downloaded many soccer clips from the net and observed so long the way that the ball bounces of ground and of players, I've also collected all the gameplay updates that all the Fifa 06 supporters have created and compared all of them including the original fifa 06 files to give you this update.

In few words, this update is going to give you a very realistic feel to the ball physics and the way that the CPU defends and attacks.

I'm not going to talk a lot, I just hope that you all will like it and would also give me feedback in anything you'd like to be improved in it.

Major Changes: (Version 1)

I've Improved:

1. Goal keeping: more realistic reactions and jumping physics.
2. CPU Attacks: More thinking, reasonable shooting and passing.
3. Ball physics: Realistic bouncing and air resistance.
4. Referee decisions: Less fouls when sliding on the ball, more cards when in a real good chance of goal.
5. Direct free kicks: Very impressing free kick system, you'll enjoy it. (You must practice well before trying)
6. Headers: More controlled headers.
7. Lops and lop passes: Thanks for the ball physics.
8. Shooting and speed of ball: Again thanks for the ball physics.
9. Fully compatible with OckHAM’s CEP game patch: The best patch for Fifa 06 in the world.
10. No more EA logo and video when main game starts.
11. Render mode 2 is enabled

I'll try it as soon as I can be bothered to get Fifa up and running (new computer).

May I suggest more detail in the credits? As in thanks to so-and-so for this, so-and-so for that. Just want to keep everyone happy.

 

[sa33ood]

Done! I added the details.

 

[nickclubman]

Might have to check this out man! thanks for crediting my name, looks like I've made my mark lol.
NK.

 

[10Ruud]

Sounds good...I will try it tonight....thanks for your work...seems like you put alot of thinking into it.

 

[gamerguy350]

Just out of curiousity, how long has this patch been in development?

 

[Puma1]

I will try it out now and will post a review on it later.

 

[10Ruud]

I only played a couple of games with this patch but it Works good for me....only thing I noticed is that I couldn't get any power on the crosses...whenever I tried a cross from outside the box it just seemed to bounce across the ground for a couple of feet and stop or get intercepted....maybe just me but I have no problem doing this with other gameplay patches.

 

[sa33ood]

NK: yeah man, you've helped me a lot. thanks

StayingPower: It took me 2 weeks and 3 days, 14 hours a day. At first I thought that it's an easy task to do, then I found out that it needs time and effort even more than what you can imagine!

Dave: I did this intentionally in order to have less headers just like in real life soccer. I've watched a couple of big games (Barcelona vs. Real and more) and I've reached to a conclusion that 80% of the crosses use to go either too far or too close, and because Fifa 06 is an 8 minute game at max, I thought that it would be best to have less good crosses. just for the fun of it, I mean in other gameplays I use to score 2 to 4 goals each game all by headers from crosses which is not realistic at most of the times.

Anyways, If other people complain about the cross thing, then I'm going to change it for sure to the better, but please first try to understand why I did that tweak in crosses.

PEACE you'all, waiting for more full feedbacks.

 

[gamerguy350]

I still have yet to play it. Apparently I'm in my Winning Eleven 8 phase again.

 

[Puma1]

I have played it and I think it is a better patch for the regular person who plays FIFA b/c it's fun, challengin but you don't have be 100% effecient or else you lose. I play in professional and I only won 1 game in normal time out of the 5 I played. I was Real Madrid and I beat some team from Argentina 2-1. I like the patch b/c now you have to work to get a goal and it is so rewarding to score now. I think the crosses are just fine except I haven't scored from a cross. Even when I was Borgetti I had my header blocked at close range. The passing is great, you can achieve breaks, but I still have a couple more games so I can master it. If I can come up with more, I will later say. Overall a great patch for people who found NK gameplay one "hard"

 

[gamerguy350]

Have you fixed the crappy breakaways where the defender could always catch you?

 

[sa33ood]

Thanks Puma1 for the great feedback.

gamerguy350, yes I've worked on this matter and I think that you will like what I've done, I prefer that you try it first then tell me exactly what you like and dislike.

In this update I tried my best to make the game play balanced in which you don't have lots of attacks; just like in real life. Most of the playing is in the middle and whenever you get an attacking chance you can just feel the power of it and you'll get excited, but don't get too excited as the defence and goalie are going to block your attack unless you think well or shoot well.

I want from all the people to play a game then view their games' "Match Facts" at the end of any match, then I want you to compare it to real life soccer games "game facts" form this website:

http://www.football.co.uk/match_reports

You'll be amazed by the similarity of the numbers, and that well also prove to you that my update is even more realistic than what you think.

Peace you'all.

Which files specifically does your gameplay alter.....I dont want to screw up something by accident.

Thanks,
Dave

 

[sa33ood]

The update will replace:

1. "default.ini" - inside the folder "CProgram Files\EA SPORTS\FIFA 06"
2. "config.dat" - inside the folder "CProgram Files\EA SPORTS\FIFA 06"
3. "ini.big" - inside the folder "CProgram Files\EA SPORTS\FIFA 06\data\cmn"

Peace

I have tried your gameplay and found that its very good. If you combined the CPU attacking of NK's gameplay with the rest of yours...I think that combo would be fantastic!!





This off topic but do you know how to add new faces to players in the game that have generic ones? I see one place where they say put the files in the main FIFA06 directory and run FATBH. Another where someone says make a new zdata using BigGUI (how do u do that?) and add all three files in there and run FATGUI and FATBH???

Any specific help with the steps would be greatly appreciated....you can respond toi my email instead of this thread here....

Cool... in my next update I'm going to work on the CPU attack and defence to make it more realistic and much harder to deal with setuations (hard in an interesting way). I'm going to try applying more fouls for to add more interaction during gameplay.



About the faces exerslow, check the editing forum at:

http://www.soccergaming.tv/forumdisplay.php?f=178

I don't have any idea on this matter, so I hope you'll find the solution there.

Peace you'all

 

[exerslow]

Thanks, I tried a face made by SuperBlue, and installed as he suggested.....put all four files into the main FIFA06 directory and ran FATBH, sure enough it worked.....although now I have a compressed archive with the players ID# in the main folder and people were talking about adding new Zdatas and putting the files in there.....just wish someone would clarify how and why both ways are right or wrong...will cause problems or not.

I've scoured this whole sitye and several others but I can't find a comprehensive, detailed face installing tutorial for replacing generic faces with altered ones.

Keep working on the gameplay though, the more I play it the better it seems.

Ok, I've already started on my 2nd update, and the improvements are going to include two main updates:

1. More fouls: The referee is going to give more fouls on situations such as headers or simple tackles, just like in real life, sometimes getting a header may lead to a foul.

2. Slower game pace: The CPU is going to hold the ball more and think more but it'll not be easy to get the ball from him as he is going to be intelligent just like a real human being.

And of course there will other little fixes that I'll tell you about later on.

Peace you'all, and keep on giving me more feedback.

Hey Biggy, I played a game (with your patch of course) today that might intrest you b/c of the score. I played it on Professional with 10 minute halfs. Let me tell you that the game was freakin exciting! But the score was just crazy. I was Mexico playin Germany and final socre was 6-4, I won.
