Fidel, when/if can we expect an Emotion Disabled version of your mod? I used the disabled version the last few years and LOVED it. Even with 2.2 I still feel the AI sometimes goes into robot mode and will score no matter what I do. They win all 50-50's, all challenges ends up with the ball at their feet, etc.
obviously i'm enjoying gp evo. but i have to agree with loaf here - too many games smack of good ol EA scripting. yes i'm dominating in my career (AVFC legendary slow 10 mins, with 99% default sliders), but that isnt the point, it's just to make clear im not a sore loser - quite the opposite. im frankly kicking the prem's teeth in at the moment.
the problem is - and i direct this at EA so perhaps fidel can provide a fix - there are hard-coded results pre-built into certain fixtures. i've tested these annoying matches exhaustively (different formations, sliders, instructions, tactics) and the almost
identical results happen with the
same match every single attempt.
latest example: Liverpool vs me at villa park. baker and okore (central defenders),
despite "Park the Bus", fresh after kickoff where ive just scored, are standing
TOGETHER 20 yds up the center of the pitch, with BOTH
wingbacks pushed all the way
back, playing Ricky "Ronaldinho" Lambert well onside and in acres of space right down the throat of the park.
he receives a through ball from Lallana any child could play with ease, and even though i was fast as i could in pulling the 2 defenders back to the middle, he takes it, dribbles through okore (despite me making a successful tackle) and goes far post ground-laser from 18 yds. all of this perhaps 7 seconds from kick off.
i could bore you all to sleep with literally DOZENS of examples from this ONE fixture alone. i'm not directing this at fidel at all, please understand, just fed up with EA thinking 'football simulation' means simulating the influence of criminal betting syndicates into their shitty game.
on the positive side, in vanilla fifa this kind of thing happened every other match. some kind of ridiculous chain of events to make sure a certain scoreline is met. it doesn't happen nearly as often with gp evo 2.2. i would say now 1 in 5 or 6 matches is 'fixed.'
i hope im contributing in some fashion.. ive really enjoyed testing fidel's gameplay improvements. just reporting what i see and like loaf - if theres some thing that can be disabled to prevent these laughably manufactured moments, then off with its head i say.
as players, as customers, we should have to bear the ups and downs of football - especially with a bunch of 70-something rated players (my AVFC) - when players switch off for just a half moment, and a header just slips through for an embarrassing equalizer.
as players and customers, we should NEVER have to compensate for patently unrealistic moments like the one described above, over and over and over and over throughout a season. EA deserves several sound testicle kicks for making this such a prominent feature of this thing they regard as a product.
