NK FOOTBALL © : FIFA ™ “GAMEPLAY UPDATE” 07; what do you want the most?

[pfk505]

i play with NK's update, 8 minute halves and i use "slow" gameplay. not too many goals are scored, it is pretty even.

I play with 8 on slow too, and too many goals. It would be fine if it were only every so often, but most matches i play have 4 goals minimum. alot of 3-2's, 4-2's and 4-1's. Only 2 draws in over 20 matches as well.

I think I'll try 6 minute halfs and see what kind of difference it makes.

edit: again, i blame the keepers, at least on my side. shot totals are a little high but not too bad.

Indeed, this is an issue with the 1st update. But that's exactly what it is, the first! :mexican:

You'll certainly be seeing less goals in the second version, I'm hoping for some 0-0 draws. It's difficult though, making that kind of balance.

right, check out these match results! 16 min game, world class, i lost 1-0. very realistic game, very hard to break the defence.

None of my fouls nor the cpu's were from slide tackles, so it is starting to show the extra diversity of fouls increasing. EA programmed it in, but I've enhanced it.

I know NK I remember a few of your updates for FIFA06 where I had very realistic amounts of goals.. alot of 1-0 and 0-0 results. You can do it! And in the first update im sure it wasnt intentional, since the default gameplay seems to be goals galore.

but there aren't bookings ?...

but there aren't bookings ?...

there will be. some of the game is hard-coded and uneditable.

yeah you know it mate! the default 07 gameplay is crazy for goals. the 2nd update certainly will reduce it by a lot, certainly a lot less than the first, but this depends on how quickly gamers adjust to the skill level, which is higher now.

NK, is there anything you can do about cpu results? when i play, the cpu seems to have really bad results. for example, if i play with arsenal for example and i look at other good clubs, they suck! in the champions league, barca did not make it out of their group! to test all of this, i started a career and simulated all matches. clubs like manu and liverpool were doing bad and blackburn was the top and watford was 5th or so! if there is anything you can do to make cpu results very realistic, that would be greatly appreciated by all!

I agree, at least partially. In my EPL season, the weaker teams are more or less where they should be, with Sheffiled U, Reading and Watford in the bottom 3. However, of the better teams, only Man U is contending. Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are all in the middle of the table. Charlton is the only surprise at around 8th.

also, it is stupid, when simulating the champions league, fenerbahce always makes it to the final!! that just drive me nuts.

 

[BaYa]

NK, when comes your update ?????

Some recent thoughts for you, NK

I was right about to come on here and mention that I still havent had any injuries 2/3 of the way through my most recent season, and low and behold Anelka goes down with a pulled groin in my latest match. Also I noticed that 95% of the CPU's fouls are pulldowns. I was going to say 100% but that foul Anelka bit it on was a slide! So really, the fouls are awesome.. I hope you keep them more or less the way they are.

Now as for the Ref, thats another story. One thing I've noticed in my last 20 or so games: Every pulldown outside the box is called, None are called inside the box. At least the last 7 or 8 pulldowns in the box werent called, I figure at least 1 or 2 should get called as penalties. In one game vs. Tottenham there was 3 in one half of football. I wouldnt mind seeing a few pulldowns outside the box get "missed" as well.. would add a touch of realism.

Still having tons of fun with your update, cant wait for the next!

I think CPU players should not turn so quickly. Also they shouldn't pass the ball to another player so quickly after they got it. So could you add a little delay to it? Lob passes could be a little slower and goalkeepers should be improved.

I agree. The CPU seems to have a better ability to control high passes as well, although this could just be the difficulty level in-game. One thing that always infuriates me is the quick-turn + shot by the cpu from just outside the box. It looks fake and it feels cheap. Again, Im quite sure thats a game speed / engine issue.

I agree PFK. It seems as if that's the only way the CPU attacks. In 05 and 06 it was wing play only, although NK's mod helped a lot last year. I actually went into to the ini.big file and changed the CPU's ridiculous ratings for Errors and shot accuracy and it's helped a little but yeah, the one timers from the top of the box are out of control.

hey NK

ive also remarked that the cpu does never shot on goal from distance.
maybe you can also approve this ?

many of the area's if not all are been looked into and improved for what you have suggested. I can tell you guys now that the defence has in ways just had a mini break-through! I've managed to make it much more compact and difficult to get straight through with just a few passes strung together. Much more 'thought' is required making a possible break of defence more exciting and realistic, but what is better...more challenging to do.

As for cpu shots, they are much more diverse, you'll see some terrible attempts from close range and further out! Not all shots are 'perfect' or 'just missed'

sounds great

 

[Tizmo]

Awesome! I am looking forward to the update!

The ball physics as they are now seem dead on. The ball moves very well, free kicks are possible to score on and so are corners. Id enjoy to see goalies turned up a bit, but not turned into supermen. All and all, CPU defense needs to be fixed. With Rooney I can run straight into the box and shoot, even on Legendary. I usually win 5-1 on legendary and that just seems wrong.
