Guys, as the concept author of this patch, I don't know what to say... But at first I want to apologise for all this, even if i am directly not responsible. Despite the relevation that this patch is its own mode, that should not excuse the numerous bugs that are found everywhere. Whilst some I can vouch for and acknowledge that they ARE neccessary to avoid crashes (eg the non-clickable items in Menu); there are others that I can simply can not have in a patch with my name on it.
1. As mentioned above: St Jakob -> Stade de Suisse - Stade de Suisse -> St. Jakob This is a bug that I am partly responsible for. In Effect - I informed MD that I would be changing the ID's for St Jakob and Stade de Suisse around in the DB, but somehow he did not follow through with changing the other relevant files. Also, the Stade de Geneve is filed under "S" when it should have "EURO - " at the front to make it easier to find for users.
2. As for Rosters I dont know what is the problem for other users, but this could be a problem that an updated roster was not included in the patch, only using the default fifa.db.
I think that my own rosters are only visible in my own version
3. There should also be a sunset daylight setting for all EURO stadiums. I have the menu and loading screens to prove it. Also, previous stadium images from ECP stads are shown ingame on menu pics. These are from ECP stadiums that I used last time around from my 07 patch with their permission.
4. Cameras: In Woerthersee stadium, the Goal Kick can only be taken from seeing nothing but the adboards across the whole screen.
It would be nice if MD could have made same Goal Kick Camera for ALL stadiums. And the non default cameras are only good if seeing from top of screen; from the bottom the screen is at least 1/4 black.
5. Classic XI - In the MODE it only has half a star, with no players and its home stadium is the UEFA Ultimate Arena which has no menu or loading screens. I haven't dared to test whether the stadium actually works, in case it crashes so I hope I'm wrong...
In fact I have such screens for that stadium from my FIFA 07 patch. If only I could give them to MD for him to import... Actually, The Classic XI's home stadium should be the Olympiastadion Munich and the Nineties XI's home stadium should be the Stade de France... I wonder how many of you actually have that stadium at all...
And to MD and Outsider my collaborator's on this project: I'm sorry to sound so pessemistic and angry, but i want this patch to be the best ever, as it deserves to be. I am only hoping that we can fix these bugs together and make a perfect patch for a second release.
