The AI Cheats

[junialum]

I'm not sure if you guys have found this out but apparently the AI raises the stats of your opponent when you play against them.

I was with Arsenal in Career and played Leicester. I accidentally selected Leicester and the game started. So I paused the game and switched over. Then I went to my Subsitutes screen. The stats of my players were retardedly high.

Here are the orginal stats:
Buffon: 97

S. Candela: 91
J. Terry: 91
C. Metzelder: 90
A. Cole: 90

S. Gerrard: 94
C. Ronaldo: 92
Ronaldino: 95

Adriano: 95
T. Henry: 97
J. Reyes: 91

Check the attached pic for the increased stats. This explains super keepers? When I played Man Utd, I did a switch and found that Tim Howard was rated as 99. (wth)

How much stars u got? Might be ur oponent trainer is higher ranked and his players are ******* good IN Game.

 

[junialum]

Not true. I kinda played against myself. I'm a 3 1/2 star manager and I played against the comp. When I played against my team, my team stats jumped. That's pretty retarded

Great team junialum

 

[J_J_Okocha]

it is called your "form" or something like that (game day stats) well stats go up for your player on gamedays especially if they are playing well.

 

[soccerpk]

yeah if your players are in good form their ratings will go UP during games. if they are in poor form, they will go down.
watch for the different smiley faces to tell what kind of form the player has and what his attitude is like.

 

[JuLiaN86]

thats what i mean, and lvl em to get even more stats

 

[junialum]

My player's morale is 99% all the time (even after I get some email saying that some player had a squabble with a team mate or something). So form goes up when your morale/form is high.

Does it also go up because its derby match or some cup final?

ya

They cheat in another form too, and it comes down to the match script.

When I play sometimes, I can tell that im not supposed to win, but some how I manage to score pretty late on in the match. Then straight from their kick off 3 of my 4 defenders push up, consequently meaning an attacker can drift into the open, onside space that one of my fullbacks have created. They then are played a perfect longball through right at their feet and they will nail it first time 9/10 times.

This really annoys me...It happens at least once every two matches I play. Happened to anyone else?

 

[soccerpk]

Yeah that happens a lot in World Class.
Have you tried editing the settings? There are certain things in World Class that favour the CPU, you can tweak them. Click here for more info.

BTW Groove Armada rules.

I wont name it 'CPU cheat' its just really hard scripted. Like you mentioned ...LiaM...

I for my self could exactly tell you when a goal fells. So i RECOMMED YOU ALL check the link from AEKARA to 'slow down' out the damn cpu scripts

 

[junialum]

Check out the link that Liam gave, its really something. I do have matches were my strikers (rated:95-97) simply miss in situations where i score all the time, and they begin scoring outside your box (pretty far off), and your defenders dun pay attention to you. That's pretty 5u[ky

 

[danny_a]

extract the ini.big file adn see the cpudiff.ini file...

the settings in it are for different levels e.g. amateur, beg, pro, wc.. and then there is a perfect setting...

this gives me the hint that the cpu might switch players up to higher skill levels during parts of the game, e.g. when they're losing 3-0... to put those few moments of pressure on teh human opponent

that said, i think the changed stats you saw were most prob a bug ... i.e. they're probably correct but i seriously seriously doubt that EA meant to show them... they probably leaked through a faulty coding check or something

 

[junialum]

Haha good ol' EA. But the theory abt it being attributed to form/morale could be true and would be pretty realistic, except Henry would be nuts if he played at 99. (he was - he scored 5 that game)

 

[soccerpk]

Yes you're right

You cannot GET RID of the scripting, unfortunately, but like you said, you can do some things that will "level the playing field", and make it a little more even. Just play with the percentages.
