nk i only installed th basic patch and then i pressed exit when the extremestriker patch came, is that right?? then i saw the small video of your patch logo of the patch and then when the side came to start the game i also pressed exit. ist that right how i did it???

please give me an answer nk if i did it the right way

regards dmx1974

 

[Tizmo]

Yes, you did it the right way.

 

[Hody]

Yes, the next update will be even harder for shooting, so people will most likely moan because they can't score instantly or straight away.

There must be so many players' out there who actually want to score with 90% of chances and hit the target most of the time. That to me, isn't fun, nor a challenge.

and if a challenge is not what you're wanting, don't download it.

NK.

I do understand your reasons for this, but the question is, if it is not possible to realease the next version maybe with a patch opposing to xtreme-striker - like one that would feature the full physics and tactics of X-Pro but the shot accuracy of joystick addict. SO you could cater for both tastes and everybody would be happy.
I personally dont have the time to play and train everyday and when I have the leisure I would like to play a pleasant game, challanging but winable - maybe you could take this in account... Keep up the good work, man

I just wanted to expand a little bit on my previous post about aiming for free kicks:

I find that if you aim low with your gamepad, the ball will skyrocket (almost as if by aiming low you are getting under the ball). If you aim high (as if you are trying to strike over the ball) you will have a better chance to hit the target.

NK, I dont know if this was intentional or not on your part, but it absolutely kicks ass. It makes the whole mechanic of shooting so much more realistic I cant even explain how satisfying it feels to score a goal from a well placed free kick now. Awesome stuff.

The above tactic also works wonders on corners, so you can loft a ball high up to the far post, or aim it low & hard towards the near post.. It opens up so many possibilities.

Also, I didnt want it to sound like I was bitching before either, about too many goals. I think thats just the nature of a video game, whereas when you get good at it, it becomes easy, hence more goals. I sometimes get a little obsessive about the game being as realistic as possible (in terms of goal totals, for & against in the table), but really, its a game and it will never be 100% realistic and thats something all of us need to remember every once in awile.

Anyway, Just wanted to thank you once again for all your work, I know alot of people here would have stopped playing FIFA a long time ago if it wasnt for people like yourself.

Lookin forward to the next update!

Hey thanks a lot man, I know exactly what you mean, as when I create the update I always have the video-games rules in my head, the fact that it can't be real-life, it HAS to be playable and beatable, but in doing so adding in a challenge that the advanced users of the game can find enjoyable, difficult and realistic. It's not an easy process, but each update offers more difficulty and realism. For that, I believe entertainment comes out for the sheer love of the sport and the addictive way it is played both through reality, on tv, or even game-pad.


head over to NK FOOTBALL © main site for the latest news, check out the new vid (stream).

The next update is going to be special

And free-kicks are even better now, more dynamic. You can really see the dip and bend. but as before, they are a challenge. But scoring one is, like you said...an amazing feeling.

edit: had an issue with the video, but now it's fixed. Viewable on the main site.

Send me an e-mail [email protected] and I'll send out to you a beta of the latest update. All I ask in return is feedback posted here

Thanks man,

I could not manage to win any game with the x-pro - I loved the joystick addict one - but all further version have too aggressive midfield players for me, I can´t manage to get around this. Especially when my stirkers come close to the box, I am just too slow to deal with the aggressive defenders.

Is there a chance to get a version with just the adjusted ball physics, or can you maybe tell me what I have to chance in order to chance the physics?!

What difficulty level are you playing on?

If you're on world class, start on Semi-pro and get used to the play and get a feel for winning the midfield battle. It's a lot more aggressive than before, like in real-games, once you win the midfield battle you're pretty much entering the others teams defensive zones, and that's dangerous for them, so they don't want you getting past. So world class and legendary is much harder to achieve this. Semi-pro and professional are probably more your level for now.

Hi NK.
Can you sent to me the new beta?

I play in Professional with X-R so i can help you to finetune the professional level too and not only World Class that is the level that most beta testers play.

LOL, I am a wimp! I just play on pro and with half speed - played with x-pro and kept losing 1:3, 0:3 - best I could manage was a 1:1. Went back to org. Gamplay - lost first 2 games 0:1 and 1:2 and than won the final game 4:0 - after I lead 1:0 for a long time and then I could easy score 3 breakaways (every time the same game, against the same team)....

The CPU scores too often, every shot is on target and I miss all my shots - if I am even able to take them. If I make it to the line of the box, there is no chance of dribbling around one or two defenders. My game is actually great until the box, but then no chance of success with a cross or a dribbling. And the CPU manages to score from each cross and gets past of each of my defenders...

Well bad news for you, World Evolution is much harder than X-R. I would certainly start on semi-pro when I release the latest effort. It's all just a learning curve, once you get used to it, you'll win. EA's game is no where near as balanced as what World Evolution is. Goalkeepers now are far more balanced and goals are much lower. Most games will end 1-0, 0-0, 1-1, 2-1. I can't see gamers coming out with 5-0 score lines. Maybe in a beta, but certainly not once it goes public.

The main critic I had for X-R was that the game became too easy once you got used to it. With World Evolution, I'm getting around this, making tweaks and tuning it all up to give you a realistic, pressured and entertaining experience.

Bruno, if you or anyone who has sent me an e-mail and not received a beta, please PM me right away and i'll get you a beta.

pfk505, you should have received it. First it said it had failed to send you the file attachment, so I sent through another account and it hasn't said anything, so I am assuming you've got it. If you haven't, send me a PM and I'll get you one through there, guaranteed.

Wow NK! I'm just closing a complete season with X-R on World Class and trying to lift RMadrid to the top of la Liga. Here's a concise (but helpfull I hope!!) feedback of your gameplay :
1/ the dont changes (or might improve):
- freekicks : they're now realistic as ever. no more "just push 70% powered" shots as in X-PRO or Addict. I really like the possibilities it can bring.
- shooting : I understand other gamers point on lowering shot accuracy but once you get used to it, you'll become an addict. The shooting now really depends on the player preferred foot and many other criterias and when you find it, scoring a goal can be very cheering (like in real life ) .
- midfield battle : the way CPU presses you is so high and accurate now. it's not only headaches that you have but heartaches too. And the way CPU outnumbers you in just few passes is really challenging.
- corners : the same as freekicks for me, I like the possibilitis it offers now
- ball physics : I think you get the optimum physics now NK! More than this can be a bit too much.
2/ the do changes (or do improve):
- human keeper : IMO, cpu keeper is really well tuned but human has some weird behaviours sometimes. Specially on some crossed low headshots and low shots. They can't get a ball at 1 meter close to them. They seem to have a little "freeze" moment.
- human defense : I agree that it's up to me to press the cpu but most of the time I have to run more than the cpu. just up it a little will be good I think.
- cpu aggressive tackles : too many conservative tackles I think. maybe upping the number of cpu aggressive tackles will give a more realistic game.

That is! Waiting for the next update NK! Great job!

I havent got the update yet, probally due to gmail not accepting .exe attachments. Maybe you can .zip it for me?

- cpu aggressive tackles : too many conservative tackles I think. maybe upping the number of cpu aggressive tackles will give a more realistic game.

I never mentioned that before, but I agree with that assessment too.

Fantastic feedback, thank you very much. Everything is taken on board so this is essential.

I never mentioned that before, but I agree with that assessment too.

I never send an .exe the file was in a .zip folder. If possible, quickly create a hotmail account or PM me and I will send it out to you right away. I'd love you to test it so it's up to you. I sent one through hotmail and than my other personal account, if either of them sent you the file in its zip folder than it may be a problem at your end mate.

Hi NK.

I have played a couple of games with the new beta and i am very statisfied.

The games are much more played in midfield which is very realisitc. If you want to have a chance of win a game you have to win the midfield battle.
The CPU pressures a lot even in professional level but it´s still possible to get some spaces to shoot or pass

The ball physics is very realisitc as always.
Is harder to make successfull long passes now but like in IRL sometimes your passes are very bad but you can do some nice passes too.

I think this beta is more balanced that the previous gameplays. Sometimes you make very bad passes or crosses but others you can make very nice attacking plays like IRL.

The freekicks are better too. I score a fantastic goal with Juninho and have some other good shoots but of course some goes very far from the goal too

About the shooting i am not sure if i like it or not. It is realisitc that not every shoot goes in specially when your players are in a bad position but i think the shoots goes too far from the goal most of times even if your player is in a good position with no opponent.
The power is good. I like to see some shoots goes very high over the crossbar. The problem is wiith the angle of the shoot. When you are close to the goal the shoot system is not bad. The problem is when you shoot from long range. I don´t know how i try to shoot the the left or right of the goal. When i try they go very far. (The CPU shoots too)

Look at this two videos of some shoots to have an idea what i am talking about.
http://files.filefront.com/shoots_betarar/;7143817;;/fileinfo.html

May be it´s my problem but CPU do very bad shoots too

But i still prefer this shooting system than original EA where it was very easy to shoot on goal:mexican:

In general your gameplay is very very good.
Can´t wait for the final release

Here some of my results:

Awesome feedback man, I will see what the others have to say about the shooting mechanic before making any drastic changes to it.

So far I'm working on the defence to make them a bit harder to break down and their speed in which they attack at you and push forward.
