Increase CPU Fouls

Sorry for my english, but... what is "slider"?
Doesn't matter, it's the wrong info anyway. People seem to be saying there's an error slider, but there isn't. There's no way to increase fouls other than editing the game itself -- product file or player ratings.
 
Fouls have always been one of the hardest things to increase in the FIFA series.
As Bangus said, there is no error slider that will constitute to more fouls.

There are two ways:


1.You must look up codes in the exe, paste them in a product.ini, and give them values. Most of these codes have little effect, but you might see an increase of 2-3 fouls per match. It depends on the way you play; everyone will experience different amounts of fouls match per match.

2.Database editing: Decrease all tackling values. Same applies here, you will get a small increase, but because of the way FIFA is programmed, you have a small range to work with.

I have never seen more than 8 fouls in a 20 minute match.

(When I mean fouls, I mean tackling fouls, not push-pull fouls.)

Raising players' individual Aggression ratings helps increase fouls/cards as well. In fact, that's the one game tweak I've seen that seems to make the most difference. Raising CPU team Aggression ratings (custom tactics) also seems to help some.

Aggression values don't seem to play a huge part; unless you have Microsoft Excel, mass editing these can be a real pain in DBM.
AI defender's reactions are also too good.

Set CPU players' Aggression ratings to 99 and I guarantee you'll see a 2-3X increase in fouls and cards. Playing FIFA 12 with default gameplay, no product file installed, I would see 0 cards for many games in a row. After raising CPU players' Aggression ratings, I would regularly see 2-4 yellows and even reds called against the CPU, every single game.

Open the fifa_ng_db-meta file with Notepad. Search "aggression" and you'll come across the aggression modifier value in the squads/players table. Set the rangehigh value at 99 and the rangelow value at 88 (or even 99 if you like). Save. Now all players in the game will be rated 88-99 Aggression.

EDIT: Actually, I don't know if that will work in FIFA 13. I'm playing FIFA 12, and I use CM 12 to load and save the db after making edits to the fifa_ng_db-meta file. CM 12 isn't functioning 100% with FIFA 13, so IDK if that's going to work for you.

Thank you for tutorial... but... what is IDK? :)

BTW, how long are your games?
Increasing aggression through an .ini will only work if the player doesn't have other very high defensive attributes. In my product file, every aggression parameter is at max, but because of the high positioning and marking params, this has little effect.
In contrast, if the other attribute parameters were set low Ex. Positioning = 45 and Marking = 35, and I increased aggression, I would see a huge difference. The players would be very aggressive, but the defense of the AI as a whole would be weak because they are too aggressive and leave their positions often.

FIFA gameplay editing from an .ini (not database) is all about having a big difference between related values. If the difference is too small, you won't see a big difference, and contrarily, if the gap is huge, the difference will be great, but there could be undesired effects. You have to find the best difference in values.

Anyway, thank you for the great information, Bangus.:)

Bangus, you are a huge credit to the forum. I did what you said to all players (including mine) games much more realistic. Just played Barcelona with all players aggression at 99. Pros - realistic fouls and more tussles. The little fouls that only you would be called for, like when you accidentally brush against CPU player, is now given against the CPU as well for minor contact. CPU is now carded for trying to step up in the wall when you get a free-kick. Very realistic. Moreover, foul counts against CPU are greater and far more realistic. Additionally, CPU gets more cards (last game Barcelona got 6 yellow cards) and CPU makes more subs to prevent red cards. Never seen this before. Seems like CPU tries to sub players on yellow cards.

Cons: I got 3 penalties in the Barcelona match (missed two, sadly). Once the CPU touches you in the box it's given as a penalty kick. If you play a poor team where you get into the box a lot you may get 10 penalties! You'd better not try to tackle too much as you will be carded a lot as well...

Overall very realistic. Now refs seem to be against CPU and not you. Whereas before, refs always called you for fouls and not CPU. Needs some more tweaks to be truly realistic and less anti-CPU. However, after 3 months of refs cheating against me I can live with it.

the thing with raising aggression and lowering reaction is like a double edged sword, it works to increase fouls but also makes players do stupid thing in all aspects of the game and even worse for defenders they play bad defense.

you have to weigh out the good and the bad, the pros with the cons and choose one over the other.

Where are you man? I miss your company( just pretend I didn't say that; you know what I mean). Damn, dog you've disappeared on me.
You are right, but upping team aggression helps somewhat.
