FIFA 14 Better Career Patch

[beta990]

This will sound really stupid but how do I even know if the patch is active...?

Edit: Messi sells for $ 109,000,000.- in the first season, yet I do not know this is a legit number or this is because of your patch. Maybe you can determine wether your patch is active yes/no by looking at that number lol.

Ways to check is patch is active:
- Max. player squad of 40 instead of 42
- No sim radio

So after testing V2_RC1 a few hours, this is my feedback:

Hi dalb2k,

Thanks again for your feedback. I released V2_RC2 (http://www.mediafire.com/?cwbejavxb0l112j) with all the things you report in your post. Because there are so many changes I've done, it's hard to give you a focus list. So far all files have been changed: Fitness, scouting, transfer, growth, retirement, values, etc. So just a career and let me know what could be better!

I'm still getting a lot of quick throw-ins, my players tire at amazing rates (whilst opponents are still fit, giving kind of bizarre and unfair situations), not really sure if this patch was meant for low star teams like Wolverhampton

Edit:

Can u just edit the .ini's and regenerate and they will take effect in the game?

Thanks for the report. I'm also still getting quick throw-ins, but only if it is short to the side-line. Will take a look if it can be disabled for good. :P

And yes, you can get the .ini files yourself and try out what works best for you.

help me pliz

I wonder how to edit the player in career mode player, wanted to edit the skills to kick 99 overall putting them among others, someone some health editor for this.

player career mode

Sorry, don't want (to much) cheating in cm.

Beta maybe this could be put in the readme/first post?

Thanks Fifamonkey2012, will do.

Is there any chance to have unlimited budget for salaries or transfers?

See answer in this post

any news on compatibility with Modding Way mod?

I think we have to wait. As he mentioned some posts before, he will check this.
Im not very happy with moddingway mod this year, because their DB 2.0 seems to be a little messed up, even tough it´s the only DB with all transfers. (Özil, Bale, Fellaini, etc.)

I used his db last weeks for tweaking and after finally done, i got crashes in fifa, playing career mode.

Meanwhile im using my own edited db, based on offical db from 4 october.
All the missing transfers im doing afterwards ingame.

Otherwise you can check gameplay mod by fifaccitiu. Last year, he was compatible for moddingway and i think he will soon release also career files.



To stop the offtopic talking, which really takes overhand, i will answer some questions:

@pepfs
As beta990 told you, you can do your changes and just regenerate.
Dont forget, that your changes will be only available, when you start a new career.

@calilassad
You can´t change the values particular for the career mode. You can edit your db manually, by using DB Master 14 and FileMaster 14. (instructions can be found on this forum). But you better wait for Rinaldo release his CreationMaster 14. (http://www.fifa-master.com/)

@edy.
Pls search google for "Cheat Engine 6.2".
Its a simple hex editor.

How to use:
Open Fifa 14 and load your career mode
Go to your teambudgets and remember either the exact value of your transfer budget or wages budget.
Go to desktop, open Cheatengine. On the upper left side, you can choose "select a process to open".
Choose fifa14.exe from the list.
Now you can do a first scan on the right side, by searching for the value i asked you to remember.
Go back ingame, change your budget a little bit. (by adjusting it for ex.)
Now remember again the value and do the next scan on cheatengine.
One line should remain. Now you can drag this line down to your list and do your edits. Go ingame and see your changes.

So, i hope we are done with this and can concentrate on this great career mode tweaks from beta990.

Will test the new settings and give you a feedback by tomorrow.
I think this one will be near to perfect

Thanks for your work man !

 

[MrRonald2796]

I tested the Tweaks over MW patch and they work fine, but the game sometimes closes without reason during a match (maybe because of the crack)

 

[edy.]

@dalb2k Don't work with Cheat Engine..

 

[dalb2k]

@dalb2k Don't work with Cheat Engine..

Pls send me private message.



@calilassad

Sorry just realized you wrote player career. Therefore you would have to edit your saved player/career. Maybe it works with Internal Master 12, but dont know.

any news on compatibility with Modding Way mod?

Not yet, but you're welcome to give it a try.

V2 released:
- Better fitness-model
- Finally a good transfer-market model
- Better player grown
- (Again) less player retirement
- Better gameplay
- Reduced top player movement
- Reduced player negative grown
- Some other things changed I forget..

Anyway, have fun!

Do I have to delete my current career to install the new version?

 

[beta990]

Do I have to delete my current career to install the new version?

No, only if you want to start with a clean base.

 

[felipepif]

It would be possible to make the "Career Mode Editor" as in FIFA 13 to eliminate the transfers?

 

[bulkan]

Do I have to delete my current career to install the new version?

no, you don't have to do.
these mod doesn't affect on your current career.
for see the difference, you have to start a new career.

 

[SlyWolf]

Have you had any more thought/ideas on extending the amount of seasons on career mode, beta?

 

[dalb2k]

Have you had any more thought/ideas on extending the amount of seasons on career mode, beta?

Yeah, this would be great.

Hi dalb2k,

Thanks again for your feedback. I released V2_RC2 (http://www.mediafire.com/?cwbejavxb0l112j) with all the things you report in your post. Because there are so many changes I've done, it's hard to give you a focus list. So far all files have been changed: Fitness, scouting, transfer, growth, retirement, values, etc. So just a career and let me know what could be better!

As promised i´ve tested your last release and coming back with feedback.

First i start with the positive things:

-It seems you find the right settings for playervalues and wages. Well done !
- Good and a lot of transfer for cpu
- Get a good choice of different Scouts, but still Brasil scouts seems to be unavailable for german teams (FC Bayern)

Now things, which are working well, but could be tweaked a little bit:

- Scouting is almost fine, but still my scout shows me very low values for the overall and after some months at my youthsquad, they quickly rise. (with low, i mean values around 35).
Also didn´t found any player, who starts with an ovr. above 70.
Maybe you should change the age to 14-18. A lot of CB´s are way too small. (170cm-178cm)

-I didn´t managed to simulate 2x6years like the last time, so i couldn´t focus so much on player retirement. But the bug with player retire to soon is obviusly gone. On the other side some player still retire too late for my opinion.

Again some examples:

Evra retired with 36y and an overall of 64. With 34 he had 69ovr.
Ashley Cole retired with 35y at ovr70.
Zlaten retired with 35y and ovr76.
Ferdinand 37y and 62ovr.

Ribery was 35y old and still dont thinking about retiring, even though i didn´t let him play many games any more. Overall was about 82 at this age. This is ok, but he especially lost too many points in the first 2 years.
As soon as a player gets 30, he starts to loose points rapidly.

-No positive growth for older players in this release, but maybe because i´ve simulated the most of the matches. Dont know,....

-Some players growth is still too fast. Neymar went in his first year from 81 to 89. Second year he didn´t grew even one point. Happens with some other high potential players too.

And now the only thing, which is absolutely not working for me:

-It is your fitness system. Even tireless players like Lahm dont have enough power for two matches within 4 days. Before a champions league match, i have to give my complete first eleven a break, otherwise they wouldn´t survive one half without getting in the red area of fitness. Maybe it is possible to decrease the value of tiring, but also decrease the rate of recovery. Like in the real world. They dont get tired, just because of playing once 3 games in one week. They get tired, if they have to do it constantly.

I think i will start finally a career with your next release. I really like to play long-lasting careers.

You are almost done. Great work !

 

[Fifamonkey2012]

-It is your fitness system.

As your nearing tweaked perfection I wonder if you would release a version along with normal that has no changes to health regen so its vanilla?

I only ask because I see it still needs some less harsh values/effects to a lesser version will be great, but I find it enjoyable without this being effected at all but everything else is great, I know that does go againt the grain a little but a "default fitness system" file of the ini that effects just this placed in a folder in the download pack to choose would be "nice"

I just found that part last year quite a pain, and as mentioned above having to juggle entire starting 11 over a short span of time is more micro managing than realism.

Just for those that have conflicting views on what's realistic, too much, not as much, not at all .. that area can be open to interpretation regarding energy values over games. So an option to have no effect at all but everything else would be great & obviously a normal reworked version with lesser effect it has now.

EDIT: Ok I found in career.ini the values for this and copied over the defaults for now.

About fitness system, that can be find in cmsettings.ini:

BASE_DAY_3_7 = 8
BASE_DAY_3_8 = 8
BASE_DAY_3_9 = 8
BASE_DAY_3_10 = 9

As you can see their are some differences. You can use the original one, or you can set the values higher for the first three/four days BASE_DAY_*_1, BASE_DAY_*_2, .. Remember that the days BASE_DAY_1_*, BASE_DAY_2_*, BASE_DAY_3_* should count up to 100, so make sure to lower the others.

What I would appreciate if you guys could try to mod them yourself and let me know what values you think are good to use.

Please let me know if more help is needed.

 

[huzzuk]

is there anyway of stopping the same transfers?

Hummels, Suarez, Cech, Mascherano...... always seem to happen!!

 

[MrRonald2796]

I think some tranfer budgets are really wrong
Gremio and Corinthians have only 100.000$ avaiable!!!

 

[beta990]

V3_RC1 released: http://www.mediafire.com/?ky8zo456s2s3vq3
- Transfer changes (not to much)
- Player retirement (again)
- Scouting
- Player growth
See more information below:

@dalb2k:
Thanks for again for your report! It would be great if you could test V3_RC1 above.

-It seems you find the right settings for playervalues and wages. Well done !
- Good and a lot of transfer for cpu
- Get a good choice of different Scouts, but still Brasil scouts seems to be unavailable for german teams (FC Bayern)

I have tried searching for options to define scouts. The only thing I could think about is that their are not that many scouts from Brasil in the game. Maybe they need to be added to fifadb?

- Scouting is almost fine, but still my scout shows me very low values for the overall and after some months at my youthsquad, they quickly rise. (with low, i mean values around 35).
Also didn´t found any player, who starts with an ovr. above 70.
Maybe you should change the age to 14-18. A lot of CB´s are way too small. (170cm-178cm)

I (tried) to correct the height. I tweaked the values in V3 so CB's will be taller. Also changed some scouting things.

On the other side some player still retire too late for my opinion.
Evra retired with 36y and an overall of 64. With 34 he had 69ovr.
Ashley Cole retired with 35y at ovr70.
Zlaten retired with 35y and ovr76.
Ferdinand 37y and 62ovr.

Ribery was 35y old and still dont thinking about retiring, even though i didn´t let him play many games any more. Overall was about 82 at this age. This is ok, but he especially lost too many points in the first 2 years.
As soon as a player gets 30, he starts to loose points rapidly.
Tweaked, players will be retire when they turn 34. Retirement range: 34-45.
Should it be set lower?

I also changed the player growth levels in V3. Players will grown with 1.125 and players will minus grown in -0.125. Please check if this works better.

-No positive growth for older players in this release, but maybe because i´ve simulated the most of the matches. Dont know,....

Also changed in V3. I added some files that I didn't tweaked yet. Even is a player is older, he will earn (full) experience. Again let me know how this works, also please check if players will grown to far or do not getting better when they are older than 30>

-Some players growth is still too fast. Neymar went in his first year from 81 to 89. Second year he didn´t grew even one point. Happens with some other high potential players too.
Think this is a fifadb issue. What I can remember their is also a potential field that can be lowered. Not checked fifadb yet. But again I did some changes in the playergrowth.ini file. Please check if it is better now.

@Fifamonkey2012 & dalb2k:
-It is your fitness system. Even tireless players like Lahm dont have enough power for two matches within 4 days...
Changed! Thanks for the feedback. Please check if they have more energy. I do not want players to have full energy (100%), but 90~% in the next game if shorter than 2 days after a match.

Thanks guys for testing and the ideas.

@SlyWolf: Still searching for a solution. At the moment I'm searching between all the files I could think about, but maybe I'm just looking at the wrong files. Will keep you guys up-to-date.

@huzzuk: Hmm, maybe they are defined in fifadb. Will take a look at it.

@MrRonald2796: Not my issue, at least I think. :P
EA give them a low budget.

 

[florian5996]

can you change the age of free transfers in these .ini's?? e.g. you can buy lewandowski for free for the next season. he is 25 years old. if i want to buy e.g. januzaj in winter break i must pay money for him. he's 18 years old. i think you can buy players for free from 23 upwards but not under 23 years! in real live they can do this.

sry for my english

 

[MrRonald2796]

Do I have to start a new Career Mode every time an update comes out to have the changes?
