Nk Football © Fifa™ X-pro - Download Now

[Ash_Clarke]

to NK : the fifa.exe file : after installation, automatically a webpage opens saying : click on the logo / play now etc... (then you CAN save the .exe file if you click on it) like it was for joystick addict.

This is not an exe in NK's install. This is an IE link to your game exe in your FIFA directory. Try running any of your exe's from IE and it'll probably do the same.

@ NK: Nice to see the ol' NK Football is back in business. Been a while since I last commented. Thought i'd give you some time to get it right just kidding.
Just downloaded now; will play and get back to you m8. Keep up the good work!

I have noticed that the difficulty in World Class is meh, and the difficulty in Legendary is now insane. I played N. Ireland with England and beat them 6-0 and out shot them 27-4 (See attachment, World Class). I will play some more on Legendary and see how hard it is, but it appears World Class needs a bump in difficulty.

It has been my experience that playing a random friendly game or even a "tournament" leads to mixed results and are inadequate tests of the gameplay. In order to truly appreciate the difficulty and challenge factor of the gameplay you should play in manager mode. I think this has to do with the EA engines assignment of variables to teams playing in a match and these are affected by the present form of the team. Its my impression that playing a randomly friendly, the teams have a different form than if playing over a season, or an in-manager mode cup game.

I'm working on the cpu attack and defences. The shooting will be harder but not bugged.

I don't think 'meh' is a good answer for world class haha, but what I can say is that the difficulty of legendary will be passed onto world class and then tuned and tweaked. It will be harder to win and score.

But like my friend Paul said, you have to play in a tournament to truly appreciate it. Friendly's are nice games usually. Although 6-0 is a bit dramatic!! Perhaps a bit worrying too. I'll work on that.

I actually played a tournament match and N. Ireland with the CEP patch installed and playing Road to the World Cup, Africa tournament match--I do not play friendly matches--ever.

Brilliant work! Just installed it, and I must say it is far more enjoyable 2 play - particularly in manager mode. I will say that world class is still 2 easy imo, but legendary is now about right. I went back to an old manager mode save I had with Manchester United, all of the players in the 90's - the usual all-star line-up that you get playing for any length of time with a big club. Got bored of it ages ago because it was far 2 easy! Anyway played 2 8 minute games on legendary, against Reading in the league and Chesterfield in the Cup. Beat Chesterfield 2-0 (but they aren't very good), and only DREW 1-1 with Reading. Me likey this update Definitely worth the download!

I don't think u should make e shooting harder again NK. A few times I was 1 on 1 with GK with no defenders, I go very near to the goalposts and give the lightest shot, but the ball still go far off target, as though the players got crooked legs. Very frustrating. LOL

For now, why not install 'HARDCORE Striker!' that comes with the update? If you're finding shooting too easy to beat the keeper.

Send me an e-mail to; [email protected] and I will send you a BETA of the current build, which is built upon X-PRO.

If you're as good as you claim you are, then I want you to try this out!!

Thanks,
NK.

I did install the latest update with the Striker install. I noticed that shots are better. I just shoot alot.

Hey Nk,

Great job on the update. All in all a much better feel than most other updates. The only thing i noticed is the 'reaction time' of everybody, computer and myself, is quite slow. It actually may be that you tuned the defense so that it is always attacking, but it always seems to know my moves. Like if i were do get the ball and stop by cutting it back in order to allow the rest of my team to move upfield so i can set up some offense but every time i cut it back the computer is already taking the ball from me.

Hope that makes sense. I dont mind having the ball stripped from me, just not while im not attacking and actually just try to control the ball.

Also, the finesse shot accuracy maybe needs more tuning. While i agree not every shot should be on target, I think people like Rooney and Ronaldo should be able to hit the target once with a finesse shot if neville can net it from 30 yards out and put it on net consistently from that far out.

Other than that, a great update.

Cheers

Defence timing has to be faster to make the game harder to keep the ball for long periods of time/possession. If you could control the ball and have time for your team to get into the perfect formation, then the other team...would be pretty bad at defending, right?

Shooting; For this, I am tuning the range of the shots to be far greater and more accurate, but the error of the shot is that of which makes it hard to hit the target all the time. So players' like Rooney who have good shooting attributes will be able to smack the ball on target, but not 99% of the time. On occasion, you might hit it totally wrong. But yes, the better players' won't miss as badly and hit the target much more often than the lower league players'. This is important for the update to add to the realism. The original gameplay is easy, so obviously the update will steer away from that as much as possible without making the game unplayable.

NK,

Excellent job once again! The game just feels right. I'm playing on World Class level and yes it's tough but it's not impossible.

The first game was a 1-1 drwa as Valencia against Barcelona. 2 outstanding goals! Messi's bicycle kick tied me in the 66th and I won 4-2 on penalties.

I then started a Road to South Africa (CEP 3.2) tourney with Italy and lost the first game to Moldova 2-1. Buffon let a shot go between his legs for the go ahead goal!

In my most recent game against Scotland he let in another soft goal leading me to up the Human goalie skill in the ini file.

As far as the shooting, I've installed the hardcore striker part of the mod and it feels just about right. I still think it needs a slight tweak as some of the shots are waaaaay off target. Not many though. I don't think the shooting needs a major overhaul. Just a slight tweak. Liek the previous poster said, guys like Rooney and other top strikers rarely miss the target that much when they're that wide open.

Great job man!!!!

The more I think about this defense thing, the more I think you are right. It's just hard to go from exploiting the computer all the time to getting it handed to you without complaint. Sorry for this, hope to see the update soon.

Fantastic gampeplay. Now i have to do my best if i went to with a game

But i think the shoots still need some tuning.

For example, my shoots from outside the box are always very low in heigth even if i put maximum power.
I can´t shoot the ball over the crossbar

The same for crosses. It´s very dificult to score with headers because the ball is crossing too low so the players makes a volley instead of an heading.

Apart of that, your gameplay is fantastic.

Just fixed the crosses and increased the height of shots. So all done and done .

And you are welcome.

Public BETA test;

http://files.filefront.com/betav10_nkfexe/;6837073;;/fileinfo.html

Don't take this BETA as a 3rd gameplay update BETA, this is simply gameplay changes to see what works and what doesn't and if the overall feel has improved. This BETA has been built upon X-PRO.

Area's of editing include the following;

Ball physics more life and curl
Defence timing
Shooting
Goalkeepers (set to perfect, but tuning is different so give it a go for longer)
Passing and other airballs

The overall defence does seem tighter and the cpu attack is less 'quick', the players' keep the ball longer and use more skill to get past you and into free-space. I have tested it out and it seems more balanced.

Again, this isn't a 3rd beta update...it's just a test-out.

Feedback welcome as always (in fact no feedback would make this whole post pointless)

Thanks guys,
NK.

 

[NK FOOTBALL ©]

Just so you guys know, this beta will be put INTO the 3rd update, but this beta itself is more of a playable demonstration of the improvements made over X-PRO. The shooting for example is far more diverse.

The CPU should be better on the attack and better at defending. This will make the game harder to play and dominate...but will depend on the teams also.

I'm currently designing a gameplay that works around these new changes to make sure you guys are challenged in the next update.

Just played a game against Bolton as ManU and I have to say, there still isnt much time to 'set up a play.' That was one area joystick pro has over this update, allowing time to control the ball. It just seems like with this update, you pretty much have to guess where the defense is not going to be and get a quick shot off, which if likely to go astray anyway, so...

Another thing i noticed was the shooting. By some stroke of luck, I had a break with Ronaldo coming in at an angle (not to steep) to the keeper from the right with no one around him and his shot went out for a throw. It wasnt even close!! I wasnt running or doing anything else. I was trying to take my time and at least put it on net, even if the keeper stopped it. I understand that shots can go astray, but when in a situation like that (even in lower leagues) they at least get it close.

Other than that, much of the same good old gameplay

Yes the shooting will certainly be tweaked. But not every shot in the situation you was in would go out like that, I will make it so shots don't go out as badly as you mentioned because I have seen shots go out for throw-ins too and it looks a bit blind doesn't it. I'll fix this buddy.

As for the defence and time to think for space, etc. I personally believe that if I gave you guys the space and time to utilize your players', formation and tactics to the best you can get them...then you'll pretty much do the cpu over everytime and believe it to be too easy to break the defence. Shots should be worked for to the extent of frustration. When you do get a shot on goal, it should be rewarding. However, this is all been tuned
