Well, I have taken the opportunity to collect the suggestions made by the posters in this thread (and there are too many many to mention by name, but great stuff, guys, you will know who you are!
) and you may fall asleep trying to read it all!
So here is what the great many of you want to be implemented in the new CC:
1. Please make the CC so that ANYONE can use it not just people who have 32 bit color or higher. Allot of people couldnt use it because the highest they had was 24 bit color. Its odd that the game works but a simple programm for it doesnt.
2. Rosters can be combined. the rosters just add to each other not delete. Like if I had a Turkish patch that copied over the German league and an Egyptian patch that covered over the Swedish league I could be able to play both. Like in past Fifas.
3. Player customize. Allow us to add stuff to players and GK like headbands etc etc
Enable ansessories (cycling shorts, sock tape) for all players
If possible enable short gk sleeves
4. Exact positions on the pitch like in FIFA99 where we could make our own formations Edit the starting lineup!
5. Maybe somehow get names and numbers for EVERYONE (if possible?).
6. Easy Import. Make it so we can add everything from Chants and Logos to kits and faces almost as easy as the Raptors made by Ariel.
7. Don't delete saved games and don't hurt Settings files and also Team Management files
8. No more stupid limit! I want to be able to edit more than 60 teams and 600 players! That is the biggest and most important thing that this new update needs!
9. Player numbers can be changed and new formations can be created
10. An option to import and export player commentaries
11. We should be able to decide the captain, peeps who take the kicks
12. Be able to change team bankrolls, in other words unlimited transfers as in real life transfers.
13. Be able to assign any stadium to any team. Maybe devise an add new stadiums feature??
14. A new import kits like the Kit Raptor right in the program so you can add new kits to new teams.
Kit Import should be done by Importing the whole bitmap (like kit raptor) not part by part. And ability to create Generic kits and Import Specific kits and also Goalkeeper kit activation for teams that don’t have them.
15 Should be able to add teams you create into new existing and new competitions.
16. Face Import and and ability to asign specific faces to players who only have generic.
Create entire new league (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 teams) with national cup, possibility to play European cups, promotions, relegations,...
17. Edit everything that is possible ( you know all the attributes, Nationality...etc for players ) ( formations, rivals, home stadium, crowd types..etc for teams) all these are in the dev_all_data.mdb file for CC.
18. Night or day match selection for any match setting
19. I want to be able to correct a player/s favourite foot settings
20. I'd like to see the bug fixed where an outfield player suddenly becomes the goalie and the squad numbers also change!
21. You should be able to adjust referee strictness
Other suggestions made:
A. I would like to be able to create a competition that is larger than 20 teams...I'm (slowly) working on a historical NASL patch, and in 1979 the NASL had 24 teams...I don't want to have to leave four teams out.
I'd also like to be able to create the teams first and THEN create players directly into those teams. It seems somewhat counter-intuitive to create the players first...maybe that's just me, though, since nobody else mentioned it.
B. Creation Centre is not compatible with Brazilian Portuguese language, it works only in English_UK, German, French, Korean, Spanish and Dutch FIFA 2003 games. Please try to implement this feature in the next version.
C. I don't know if this is possible but let the AI be way smart especially the defence
D. Also sideline material editor, stadium editor and crowd editor
E. To be able to add or remove teams from existing compitions like ECC
To be able to edit the fixtures of tournemnts IF POSSIBLE
F. Designing custom jerseys, badges and flags are next to impossible. Give us a template for Jerseys that allow us to cut and paste sponsors logos or custom designed logos onto the jersey. Allow for more fonts to go onto the jerseys, like the Real Madrid numbers for example. I am hooked on FIFA 2003 like no other game but I get frustrated by the way that some patches I download don't entirely work. I still can't get Leo's patch version of Serie B to run, Liga Argentina and more. I love the patches so many people around the world post for download but they don't peacefully co-exist.
I take it that this is all that Chau will really want?
Some may be a bit hard to implement tho, especially the Other Suggestions Made section, but I dunno seeing as how a whiz is going to do the knife work on the CC!
These suggestions from the fans seem to be the most wanted items and I agree with them too!
Good luck on the Project, Chau. I know that we will receive the best that you possibly can make.
