FIFA 14 Better Career Patch

[shiranughie]

Hey guys, any ideas on how to increase transfer offer for my loan-listed player?

I loan-listed 5 of my young players but none of them had any offer until the end of summer transfer. Damn..

CPU growth is really weird for some players, most of them seems ok for me but young players with low OVR (less than 70) and a potential above 80 have insane growth...I looked on 6 players with 68-69 OVR and potential between 81-85, bought them in July 2014 and they have now between 74-78 (Werner, Bentaleb, Goretzka, Adryan but I can't buy him, he's always on loan in Cagliari but is value is equal to 16 000 000...) and 2 GK went from 68 to 80 and 81 (Aréola, Scuffet)
So it's seems players with huge difference between OVR and Potential have huge growth, while others have a normal one.

In my team, I had a GK (on loan) with 58OVR and 75 POT, who is now at 64 OVR (+6). Players under 70OVR at start won between 3-5 points.

And other players have a normal growth max +3 in 1 year.
Except for Bakkali 72 -> 76 but he have 88 POT so I think it's logical and if I remember correctly it was pretty much the same thing in my vanilla career.

I have one who didn't grow at all but I think it's because he didn't score enough (8goal, he's ST but plays as RW) in an entire season.

OH I just see something all players in my team (and the 6 of my test) have less than 21 years old. So maybe P1 is where increase is higher and P2 a more stable growth ?
Anyway changing the playergrowth.ini to vanilla (except P3/P4 parts) for May update and revert back after seems the only solution to avoid this. I've tried to lower CPU_PLAYERS_MATCH_RATING_AVG but it's not a good workaround.

This is just how the game works, the potential is the close number of rating which player will have in his prime year's and prime form, so if he has around 25 to 28 years and is playing good and his overall is 68 and potential 85, that means that he needs to grow form 68 to 85 in year or two, so he need's to gain almost 5 point's in overall per year, you can only lower this by lowering his potential, which is no fair in my opinion or you can raise his basic overall so he will grow slower (you can see this as you said in Bakkali, as he has almost 5 points higher overall that other that you mentioned)!?
Realisticly, Scuffet does not deserve to have overall of 68, he is far better, i would made him atleast 73 to 75, and lower his potential by 1 or 2 points and it will be good, he would grow maybe 2 point or 3 if he has good season, and that is realistic, its just bad that you need to do this to all players that have large gap between overall and potential!?

Hi guys,

Bugs so far:
- Increasing youth-squad 16> results in crash
- Most scouted players have a weird player overall rating, most attributes are listed as 1.
- Growth could be better, but it's hard to realize this..

Hi beta! An editing FIFA follower here.
I've been also editing my fifa files, based on your Best Career Patch, and I have some questions:
- How can I delete the "- More scouts from your (managing) country" addon? I've searched for it, and I didn't find it. I want to have all nationalities available for Youth scouts.

- I've also tried in Scouting the "- Player age range: 14-19" but it doesn't work properly, becouse 19yo players will disappear from Youth team.

- How can I delete the fact of not being able to contact a player if he has been transfered less than 2 months ago? I would like to be able to contact any player, despite being just transferred to another team:
There is a line in gtndatareveal.csv which is :"RecentlyJoinedNumMonthsThreshold,1,// time interval for which a player is considered to have recently joined a team" -> This line seems to be just for scouts information, Am I wrong?

- How can I tweak the rating system in a match? I would like my player to be granted at least an 8 or 8.5 score if he makes a hat-trick. I mean in played matches, not simmed ones.

- How can I increase the amount of Energy players lose in a match? I would like players to get a bit less tired when playing

-Whats's exactly the meaning of "info_prize_money_drop,10" in the settings.txt file when talking about competitions? is it that 2nd and other teams will receive a -10% of "info_prize_money"? or just a 10% of it? or what?

- In CM Mode I experienced that some players attributes won't change (upgrade) at all despite player growing, which are "Reactions" and "Vision". Could we fix that issue by editing some files? what to edit?

-After testing some CM mods, I found Keepers still loose many attributes when they are 32 like Casillas, Diego López, when they shouldn't still loose GK skills, but perhaps physical and reflexes. How can we tweak files so goalkeepers downgrade their skills a bit later?

-In FIFA13 there was a screen in which you saw the rival's starting 11 and bench players, carded players, injured,... when in menu you pressed play next match, and after selecting the kits. In Fifa14, now we can only see our team data, but not rival's . Is there anyway to get that feature back?

Thanks for your effort!!

beta,thx for all ur work, amazing patch!
I have one suggestion, though. Can u make more subs during friendlies?(just like u did with the 13 patch)

 

[beta990]

V3.7 Released

Hi guys!

At first as always thanks for your support, I hope you like this mod and keep posing me feedback.
Since my time is limited today, I will properly reply tomorrow, sorry for that.

I have released v3.7 that is build from the ground up with the latest squads and added a few pre-contracts, loans, etc.
This also fixes the overall rating when scouting players.

Hope you all like the improvements and let me know your feedback for v3.8.

 

[Ivsa]

I will try right now and get back to you!?

PS: If you still want to know about that problem where all good free agents players on start of carrer are in some other team, its not problem with your patch, but in DB or something like that, because it tried the same files witouth your "dlc" files and same stuff happend!?
Im using MW db, but from looks of it it looks like il switch to your's db!?

 

[fadz123]

can i install database patch if i'am using modding way ????

 

[Ivsa]

Yes, install it without DB checkd!?

 

[beta990]

what values do I need to change in joboffer.ini so even if I have not completed the season objectives I will still get job offers from top clubs??

FIRED_OVERALL_HIT = 10				// Overall rating less than current team to look for new jobs at (default: 10)

CPU growth is really weird for some players, ..

Is it better on 3.7 now?

Hey guys, any ideas on how to increase transfer offer for my loan-listed player?

Increase the FORCE_USER_BID_LISTVSLOAN number in transfer.ini:

FORCE_USER_BID_LISTVSLOAN = 50	// % chance that we look at the listed player vs loan ( < for list and > for loan )

beta,thx for all ur work, amazing patch!
I have one suggestion, though. Can u make more subs during friendlies?(just like u did with the 13 patch)

Thanks man! Will take a look if it can be added soon (if possible of course).

Thanks for the report, maybe it is better with this database, feel free to give feedback if problem still exists.

- How can I delete the "- More scouts from your (managing) country" addon? I've searched for it, and I didn't find it. I want to have all nationalities available for Youth scouts.

This was the only line I edited in scout.ini MAX_SCOUTS_FROM_USER_COUNTRY

- I've also tried in Scouting the "- Player age range: 14-19" but it doesn't work properly, becouse 19yo players will disappear from Youth team.

Thanks for the report. What do you mean with disappear? I don't have this issue myself, but will take a look.

- How can I delete the fact of not being able to contact a player if he has been transfered less than 2 months ago? I would like to be able to contact any player, despite being just transferred to another team:

Yep, it's only for scouts info.
transferteamdecision.ini > [TIME_AT_CLUB_MONTHS]
There are more lines inside the files that may need to be edited.

- How can I tweak the rating system in a match? I would like my player to be granted at least an 8 or 8.5 score if he makes a hat-trick. I mean in played matches, not simmed ones.

cmsettings.ini > [PLAYER_FORM_EVENTS]

Also inside cmsettings.ini

-Whats's exactly the meaning of "info_prize_money_drop,10" in the settings.txt file when talking about competitions? is it that 2nd and other teams will receive a -10% of "info_prize_money"? or just a 10% of it? or what?

I think this is when you lose a game in a tournament, what's number before it?

- In CM Mode I experienced that some players attributes won't change (upgrade) at all despite player growing, which are "Reactions" and "Vision". Could we fix that issue by editing some files? what to edit?

Please read the lasts posts in this topic, there are a few suggestions what you could try.

-In FIFA13 there was a screen in which you saw the rival's starting 11 and bench players, carded players, injured,... when in menu you pressed play next match, and after selecting the kits. In Fifa14, now we can only see our team data, but not rival's . Is there anyway to get that feature back?

Ask Fidel Gameplay, he can properly help you.

Il just try your DB so i will report tomorow, anyway, the problem is with players that are in free agents but not in any national team, the will always be automaticaly switched to some club, so only work around is to add te to national team to work, atleast that is what someone wrote on MW forums!?

PS: I posted that problem in MW thread in their forum, and some guy wrote'n that players need to be assigned to national team to stay in free agents pool, but no one from MW patch wrote anything regarding this, and after my repost about will they fix it or will they remove all that players from free agents, one of moderator's in that thread wrote that i i stop asking this and banned me, i laughed so hard at that, their forums are a great joke!?

 

[Grafsky]

transferteamdecision.ini > [TIME_AT_CLUB_MONTHS]
There are more lines inside the files that may need to be edited.

can you tell more about this?

 

[shenjuku21]

beta i get red card too often even when my player just did a small tackle..the previous version (3.6) was okay though..maybe there's a bug..

 

[xtr]

I also have to come back to the choose of scouts.
If i have an BPL team , i get scouts (transfer scouts & youth scouts) from England, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Norway,....

German team i get scouts from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands.

It is always so unvaried. Some nations nearly never appear. (South America in generally for example). I always try to get one transfer scout for each top league, but this is impossible.

This and :

Again yes I agree. Scouts are often from the same nation and really aren't varied. I also never seem to get scouts from certain nations.

And:

Considering the scout issue, I've read that the region of the scouts will only change once you buy one. So if you get Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and Netherlands for example, you have to buy a scout and afterwards, you'll get different countries. I don't know whose idea that was at EA, but it was a bad idea and should be patched soon...

@beta990: No problem, I don't know if it's in the original version as well, but I don't really see that issue popping up anywhere, so it might not be the case.

So that's the problem, If I choose a La Liga team, (spanish) I will only be able to hire scouts from my subregion (4 : Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Turkey)
It seems this issue is also present in Original Vanilla game, as you can read here:

PS: In order to have 5 subs in a Friendly match, you must edit this:
In settings.txt, go to the end of file, search for line:

1708,comp_type,FRIENDLY

Add these 2 lines just after that line:

1708,rule_numsubsbench,7
1708,rule_numsubsmatch,5

Not tested yet,I'm about to test it

 

[StevePitts]

In CM Mode I experienced that some players attributes won't change (upgrade) at all despite player growing, which are "Reactions" and "Vision". Could we fix that issue by editing some files? what to edit?

Probably not, because the problem is in the game's display of the attribute growth for all of the values in the right hand column, not for the growth itself. Reactions, Vision and Penalties never show their growth, whilst all of the other values in the right hand column show the growth/shrinkage for the next attribute (ie. the left hand value on the next line). Those attributes do grow, you just don't see it unless you a) manually track the values or b) decode the career_playergrowthuserseason table in the save and compare it with the values in the players table in the save. On both fronts I can tell you that those attributes can increase significantly - I have a CM on my Accrington Stanley team who has grown by 14 points in Reactions over three and a half seasons of regular play.

beta i get red card too often even when my player just did a small tackle..the previous version (3.6) was okay though..maybe there's a bug..

What happens if you set REFEREE_CARD_STRICTNESS_OVERRIDE=0.18 lower in rna.ini? Is it better? I can't remember editing this to be honest, but please test.

..

Thanks for the suggestions, also added the friendly edits to settings.txt. Will be added for next version:

1705,comp_type,INTERFRIENDLY
1705,rule_numsubsbench,7
1705,rule_numsubsmatch,5
1705,schedule_seasonstartmonth,JUL
1705,schedule_internationaldependency,0
1705,match_matchimportance,100
1706,match_stagetype,FRIENDLY
1706,match_matchsituation,FRIENDLY
1708,asset_id,15
1708,comp_type,FRIENDLY
1708,rule_numsubsbench,7
1708,rule_numsubsmatch,5
1709,match_stagetype,FRIENDLY
1709,match_matchimportance,30
1709,match_matchsituation,FRIENDLY

can you tell more about this?

This controls how likely the player will moved to another club <months

MONTH_4	= 14
SCORE_4	= -90

Transfer movements are based on points, the higher (positive score) the points (depends), how much likely the player will be moving.

Il just try your DB so i will report tomorow, anyway, the problem is with players that are in free agents but not in any national team, the will always be automaticaly switched to some club, so only work around is to add te to national team to work, atleast that is what someone wrote on MW forums!?

Yep, they are a big joke to be honest. They steal without permission and claiming it was there idea. That is why I moved away from MW. There are also better alternatives, see the Mods section.

I don't know about the free agents thought, when stopping free-agents you will properly going to ****-up the database/teams, when they need a player (squad size can't be lower than a specific value).
However you can do this yourself, just edit my database with DB Master, regenerate and test if it working for you.

Thanks for the suggestions, also added the friendly edits to settings.txt. Will be added for next version:

1705,comp_type,INTERFRIENDLY
1705,rule_numsubsbench,7
1705,rule_numsubsmatch,5
1705,schedule_seasonstartmonth,JUL
1705,schedule_internationaldependency,0
1705,match_matchimportance,100
1706,match_stagetype,FRIENDLY

1708,asset_id,15
1708,comp_type,FRIENDLY
1708,rule_numsubsbench,7
1708,rule_numsubsmatch,5
1709,match_stagetype,FRIENDLY
1709,match_matchimportance,30
1709,match_matchsituation,FRIENDLY

Perhaps you should change to this:

1708,rule_numsubsbench,7
1708,rule_numsubsmatch,7

So all players may be subbed in a friendly, as happens in RL.
Moreover, you could try:

1708,rule_numsubsbench,9
1708,rule_numsubsmatch,9

Becouse it would be more realistic
But... rare crashes may occur if CPU or player has not players available to get in bench.
