So after testing V2_RC1 a few hours, this is my feedback:
Player values are so far ok. I will explain with samples, what is not working so well atm:
-Draxler from Schalke begins with 80ovr and has 90 potential (my tweaked db) and developed as following
Summer 13/14 - 19 age - 80 ovr - €13.500.000 - Schalke wanted something around €30.000.000 - €35.000.000 ->ok
Winter 13/14 - 20 age - 81 ovr - €16.500.000 - still Schalke was calling a price of ~+ €40.000.000 -> ok
Summer 14/15 - 20 age -
86 ovr - €45.000.000 - now Schalke goes crazy and wants to see €95.000.000 from me and even rejected offers around €80.000.000. (i think €65.000.000 would be right)
Though his growth was way too fast (i will come to this later), i still think he is a little bit overpriced. Of course we see Real paying over €90.000.000 for a player worth the half of it, but i think such crazy transfers are reserved for Real only
It´s like player with overall over 85 are a little bit too high rated. Considering clubs will mostly ask about 80-100% above the market value, there are too many transfers over €50.000.000 going on.
You could also increase the values for CB and RB/LB and decrease for CAM a little.
Maybe tweak the ratingrange, position, age & contract values in playersvalues.ini. ?
I also found out, that playerwages are controlled too much by teamprestige. Signing the same player for two different teams (once low team and then a top team), the requested fee can vary a lot.
For low team, player asked €5.000/week, while with the top team, he asked for €35.000. Difference is too big !
To be honest, it is hard to recognize those changes. Especially as im still trying to find the right slider settings for me. Maybe you want to share your sliders with us ?
Dont take me wrong, but im not a big fan of this fitness model. Just because of the simple fact, that the gameplan in fifa is so f*****g messed up. If only two days between matchdays, my whole team is in the yellow area of their fitness,.....except of the gk and players with fitness over 84.
I think unrealistic transfers are fixed so far. Still some transfers happening i didn´t expect. Suarez moved to BVB and Özil moved to Man City after 6 months at arsenal
. Suarez went for €55.000.000, while Özil moved for €68.000.000, which is okay.
Team budgets are confusing. Starting with budget of €55.000.000, ending the season with a budget of €90.000.000 i dont really understand, why i get only €40.000.000 for the next year.
Dont know how it works with CPU budget. At the beginning some medium teams are surprising with doing some good and expensive transfers, but after some years, it seems their budget gets too low and they are not so active on transfer market anymore. Is this possible?
An other strange thing i found, is that topteams are obviously collecting players. They dont get rid off, their old players, or players they dont need. Instead they proceed to buy every year some new players. So after some seasons they have mostly about 35 players. Maybe increase again the chance of lower teams buying from higher teams?
Player Retirement is a little bit buggy.
Goalkeepers retire too late (average is 38, but should be 36). Generally the average retirement age is a little bit too high. Went up to something like 35 instead of 33.
Some examples:
Ferdinand - 38
Vidic - 36
Ashley Cole - 34
Evra - 35
Terry - 36
Fletcher - 32
Ribery - 35 (81ovr at the end)
Lahm - 36 (79ovr at the end)
Z. Ibrahimovic - 34
Hildebrand - 40 (wasn´t even playing the last 2 years)
Pinto - 41
Valdes - 37
Casillas - 38
On the other hand, there are some players retire way too early.
Rafinha - 29
Fuchs - 29
And an other player, i can´t remember the name, retired at the same age.
Also interesting, that all 3 players are wing backs.
It´s too much.
Some players grow 6-8 points within one season, while others if at all only one point.
For youth players it´s ok, but i think a growth of 4 points a season is enough.
Young goalkeepers grow very slow.
Edit: Compared to your official release before, i didn´t saw older player getting positive growth any more. Negative growth takes overhand and players loose 2 points per season, even playing a lot of matches.
Way better then before.
They still have sometimes very low values, when they arrive at my youth squad. After some months in my youth squad their ratings go high up, so if i sign them after an year or two, they start with an overall around 66-69.
It is just strange, that it doesnt matter how old the players are. So it doesnt make any difference, if the player is 16 or 18, when he arrives at my youth squad. After two years, they will start with the same overall. Hope you know, what i mean.
Didn´t managed to find a player with overall over 70 till yet. Except from an 14year old player in my youth squad. But who knows, how many times his ratings will change.
Unfortunetaly still no scouts from Spain/England/Italy/Brazil for my Bundesliga team
Sorry for so much text, but i have problems to keep it short in english
I really appreciate your work and pls keep in mind, that some things i´ve mentioned above reflect my personal opinion.
I can´t await to play some day a career with gameplayzer from fifacittiu and your final career files.
This will be awesome. Of course i hope we won´t face any compatibility problems.
Edit:
What im really missing for a perfect career mode is the FIFA Club World Cup.
