I installed your patch on a fresh copy of fifa 08, no custom stuff added!
I started a career with tottenham and when I try to buy new players game crashes. More specificaly I tried to buy renatinho and filipe from brasilian league. Do you have an idea why?

Sorry, my first impresions were wrong. The game crushed, because I tried to play a friendly with sheffield wednesday, I have no idea why. I tried twice and both times game crashed.

About your gameplay part of patch I have no idea, because I prefer the original gameplay.

I would like to ask a few questions if I may.
Are you planing to update rosters of other leagues also or are you sticking only with EPL? I couldnt agree more with player growth in manager mode for english first division teams, although there are a few errors. For example lets take Tottenham.
Danny murphy is still at tottenham, where is Jammie O'harra?

But all things considered I am hugely fond of your work.

If you are planning to fix your rosters I would be very gratefull if you could send me the updated fifa.db file.

I tried your gameplay mod and it's pretty good.

Here's what I would like to see:

Slower player movement. The movements of the players are too jerky.

The CPU one touch passes are way too quick to be considered realistic. It's what many call ping pong or pinball football.

Other than that I think you've done some pretty good work. Unfortunately, regardless of the level you play on in the game, it's fairly easy to just sit back and wait for the CPU to try to pass it to their forwards so that they can try to dribble through your back line. This game becomes boring because after about 1 or 2 games played because no matter who the team is they all attack the same . On occasion they will use wing play but it's rare. Additionally, it's kind of amusing to watch the CPU just dribble around in circles when the middle is blocked off.

I have no idea why in the hell EA can't figure this out. In FIFA 06 the CPU used the wings to attack, in 07 it was the early cross to the top of the box for an unrealistic header goal, and in 08, the CPU just tries to dribble through your back line.

well that's happened even in the default ai the cpu sometimes love for dancing and dribbling in circle or crazily control the ball in a position especially when we try to keep our possession or tight marking their midfields and strikers :confused:

Yeah. This is very annoying. I notice it because I try to keep most of my defenders in the middle because that's the only way the CPU attacks.

It really seems as if every CPU goal is from a forward who dribbles around your backline and beats the keeper. Couple that with the fact that the CPU time to release a ball is pathetically unrealistic and that there are no fouls in the game this game becomes a complete bore.

Thanks for uploading man. Didn't really notice a difference though. Not sure if anything can be done.

To put it bluntly, this game (not your mod) just sucks. Boring CPU attacking, no fouls, and pinball football. All of EA's efforts (understandable) have gone into the next gen version. Unfortunately for EA they have a looooooooong with the next gem version of the game as well.

i think i am going to try your patch smjrifle :)

and oh by the way if you noticed that when cpu take goalkick/ freekick, human strikers were always behind the midfields (sometimes even in the same line with the defenders!) and that leads difficulty to do the counter attack :O

and many times that center back will run out from their possession (crazily running to the side but side back dumbly just watch the attack) which allows cpu really really easy to make break through.

i really wish that the cpu will play harder and do more challenge but please don't fool human player. we need challenge but yet balance shouldn't be ignored.
