ikkenenderikke gameplay patch beta RELEASED with new shooting system implemented!!!

[ikkenenderikke]

Here's a download link to the zip-file. Instructions are inside. This patch has the new shooting system in it! for more info on the shooting system, visit this thread.

There are AI updates for AC Milan, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Man.Utd in this beta version. But only Man. Utd is almost final version. The rest still needs some editing. If you guys think it is a good patch, I'll make AI's for more teams.

You'll also need FifaCoach to test my patch properly because the formations are edited! You can get it here. You can play it without the new formations, but please don't judge the patch than because the formations are a key feature in this patch!

Download the zip here: ikkenenderikke gameplay patch v1.0 beta !!!

Tell me what you think of it afterwards!

Suggestions are welcome.

Sorry forgot something:
- the shooting system is only tested with an analog stick. Don't know how it will work out with the keyboard or an 8 direction cursor.
- I only edited the World Class parameters up till now (except for the goalie abilities). It's a pretty hard gameplay patch so... But it will work on other difficulty levels too. They've not changed Only the AI will have an effect there + the new formations offcourse which will make it more difficult anyway

Anyone tried it yet? I just played some matches with my friend and got beaten a lot but playing with 2 is a bit harder than alone I guess.

I also noticed that the shooting system is worse than with previous settings. Gonna change that again. And I must remember you: it needs lots of practice to get used to it, but when you do, it's so much fun (imo). Also I made the keeper better again in my patch, gonna change that again I think. Long range shots are too hard to score.

Please post your comments if you tried it.

I'll soon release a better version.

Finally!!!

You are a champion. This is the gameplay I have been looking for. I use a Wingman Rumblepad with analog control stick, and I have always wanted to be able to shoot the exact degree I was aiming. Also it is great the way the opposition dribble the ball and keep it in the midfield. I was getting a little bored with FIFA, because I was honestly finding it a little easy and scripted. This new patch is very refreshing.

Danke Schoen

 

[ikkenenderikke]

Thanks Ridge. Glad to hear someone likes it. I deliberately made it so the computer doesn't rush forward immediatly. Lots of passes in the midfield and more safe dribbling. Even when they are around the box, it's possible that they lay it back instead of running at the goal blindwise.

I'm working on the shooting and lob system, so you can expect a better version soon. I'll also release a patch with the old shooting system (but I will improve that too) for the people that rather have assistence with their shots.

The formations will be better too in my new version so it will be even harder than it allready is in this patch to beat the defense. Stay tuned and... suggestions are always welcome!

Good work ikkenenderikke. Takes some getting used to the shooting, but the cpu gameplay is excellent. I like the way the cpu was beating me 2-1, and in injury time they kept the ball, knocking it around in triangles, as if playing down the clock!
Well done...look forward to your new patch .

 

[Berethorn]

I'm afraid it's too hard for me right now - I'll have to get better before I can use it. And my D-pad doesn't shoot too well.

 

[ikkenenderikke]

Hehe, sorry Berethorn, I know it's really hard, but I'll edit the other difficulty levels too in the new version + I will release a patch with the old shooting system too, so you can choose.

 

[Berethorn]

That would be cool. One thing I really want to be able to do is score outside the box, say if I make a perfect powered shot with a 10 shooter. I want to put it top corner. Not every shot, but I want to be able too.

 

[CarlosAlex]

nice gameplay....

 

[SEPAKBOLA]

As a gameplay patcher and a gamer I must say this is by far the best patch I have tried. One thing tho,ike, i checked your INI.big file and i think the gameplay of the CPU should be more diverse, so instead of putting zeros in the ATTACK DIRECTION, make it either Neutral or MORE, because in ur patch i see the cpu either go towards the sideline for a cross or straight down the middle on a dribble. But honestly i love the flow of the game it is absolutely brilliant, this patch has inspired me to work harder on my own, but till then, WOW. I personally don't care much for the new shooting system,lol, i just like good gameplay, but that is an amazing accomplishment, well done man,well done. Everyone should get this file it is one of the best out there.
peace

[ikkenenderikke]

Thanks a lot m8!!! I really appreciate the comments, and certainly comments from other gameplay patchers!

For the DIVERSITY of the cpu gameplay, I'll play around with it and see how it affects the game. I'll use it to personalize the teams styles of playing more then. Thanks for the tip SEPAKBOLA10!

Further suggestions are still welcome.

BTW, I'd love to work together with some other patch makers to make more individual AI's for teams. It's a lot of work and if someone is willing to help, we could do it together. Make a "gameplay patch makers team" or something We could release our gameplay patches under a new name then.

Anyone interested? Post here or PM me.

I'll release my newer version somewhere next week I think. Again: I've got not much time (exams) but I'll try to work on it between all the studying. Man, I hate studying

 

[ikkenenderikke]

Berethorn: I'll try to fulfill your wishes Gonna improve the old shooting system so everyone can use the patch. Give me one week

 

[Berethorn]

Cool!

 

[harmattan]

So far I've lost 5-3 and 2-1. Gonna try again.

 

[ikkenenderikke]

5-3? That's high with my patch. What halve lengths do you play?

 

[harmattan]

6 minutes halves.

Btw, you should work on the shooting strength. One li'l tap of the button and the ball goes out like a bloody rocket. I've missed most shots like this, not because it goes wide but because it goes too high. And I'm just tapping the button.

 

[ikkenenderikke]

Mmm, I allready fixed the power, but it's not easy to find a good balance between shot and lob heights. Lower shots will result in lower lobs too in this system. And you should still be able to lob the ball too imo so... But I'm working on it. Next week I'll release a better version + version with old shooting system (improved offcourse ) so you can choose.

BTW, you should not look at the power bar anymore when you're shooting. The shot can go over when you're still in the green area so... It's a matter of practising and getting used to it. Finding the correct power to shoot at goal. There is a very big difference between a very slow shot and a very hard shot now so it's harder to find the correct speed. But I'll reduce the speed in my next version

Antoher question: is there anyone that still finds it too easy to win? Because I can still make it harder if you like (altough not very much I think)

Let the suggestions come! Thanks for the info btw, harmattan!

 

[harmattan]

Well, I have found that with this patch I get much more shots. It's the damn power thingy that keeps me from finishing. I play in Professional, though. I'll try again, but imo you should fix the shot power issue.

 

[SEPAKBOLA]

ike, what if you changed the powerup rate? could that help?
just wondering. also, ike can u pm me for a solution i'm having on my patch, it concerns the CPU not shooting. really annoying
thanks
peace
