I know when I installed v0.7 I had to delete the XML file and repair my game and then my current CM worked... So does this mean that I don't actually have v0.7 working in my career now?

Yeah, that´s right.

Maybe we are done with the questions and start to understand the meaning of a "beta" ?

As a newcomer I am just trying to learn I apologize if this bothers you. I fully understand the meaning of what a beta is, I'm simply trying to stay along with the changes and make sure I understand everything properly so I do it correctly and don't follow someone's instructions incorrectly. I appreciate you answering my question. Each day I have less and less questions, we were all new to this at one point in our lives, I am new just like you were one day, I've been on many forums learning each day so I have been researching as well. As someone who just made their first ever PC I would hope that this is pretty understandable...

Of course it is understandable, but let me make myself clear.

This thread is not called "instructions to make your career better".
It is a thread about a patch, which should achieve a better/more realistic career.

About 50% of the questions asked in this thread, are not even related to this patch. Another 40% are answered by the FAQ or are questions about where they can find the FAQ.

I mean serious? Is it really too much effort to read the first post?
I dont mean you specifically, but it´s getting out of hand.

Or the guy who is spamming constantly how to make his old player growth,...

But when it comes to constructive feedback, nothing comes back.

Sorry for offtopic, but this has to be said.

I do see your point and it is understandable. I try to read as much as I can on here but I do also understand some questions I have asked are pretty basic or something that isn't direct feedback. I could always pm someone for more personal questions so you are correct as well. I do definitely agree about the player growth guy lol I'll try to realize my questions before asking in the future!!

Hi guys,

Sorry for the mess, I agree that previous versions are better than the later version I've released. :md:

The problem is that every career (file) is different. I didn't had the 'stupid' transfers, but now in the second season I have them to.

Than their is another problem that all modders have: There is no documentation (we are not the devs of the game) and we need to figure out what a value does if it get's increased/decreased or even unset/set.
It takes time to figure that stuff out, and everyone has their own opinion about what values are the best.

Please remember that modders and users are doing this at their free time, with no pay, but pure as a hobby. I've work, college, etc. But not only me, also other users that are active here. ;)

That said, I ask you guys for feedback and that really helps me providing a patch that works for most users. It's not perfect and never will be. Some will hate this patch, others think it's fine, and others want to improve it. :)
I also share 'my' work with others, so if you want to make your own patch/mod, that's fine with me.

Back to the issues; trying to solve them asap. Thanks to help of you guys this can be done. Like dalb2k said, it is still beta and things need to be improved. I want to provide a patch that works, but at the moment, till v1.0 it isn't perfect/good, and it's learning the hard way. :P

I'm also thinking of introducing 'presets' (idea of dalb2k), for transfers, player growth, etc.

Also note: There is no need to upgrade to later versions. If a version works for you, stick with it.

Thanks again for supporting this patch and users that use this in their game.
It's not great, hope that the newer version will be. ;)

PS. Thanks dalb2k & huzzuk for providing me with test data and solutions. :)

Thanks for the good work Beta!!

I am currently using version 0.5 with a few tweaks from 0.9 + using the "FREE AGENT" Method, to not allow big name transfers to leave in the first window.

Free Agent Method = Place the desired player you don't want to leave in the first window, in the free agents pool & then back into his original club. This tells the game he is actually a new signing & other teams will not buy them.

I've used this method in FIFA 14 effectively, the only issue is obviously every window after the first goes a bit crazy!!

Dont apologize beta990.
You are doing great.

I just would recommend to give yourself a little bit more time, before releasing something.

EDIT:

Pls can someone confirm the bug with players not able to sign, because he changed his club recently, is gone?
Because i couldn´t reproduce it with the last release.

The last hours i was trying to find a fix for missing commentary.
Guess what? There is none.

The problem is caused by cmsettings.ini, but also using the "vanilla" files doesnt fix it.
ONLY if i completely delete it, the commentary is back. So what does this say? PC files are different to XboxOne-Files. And this is bad and good news.

But for now, only bad news, till somebody manage to decrypt those dlc files.

Beside that, this is what i can say to v0.9, apart of the broken transfer-system:

Playergrowth for 31-33y (skill) can be sometimes too much. Should rather grow mentally.
More mental growth for 26-30y.
Physical growth for 17-21 could be a little bit more.
GK-Growth seems better, but can say for sure.

Playervalues are nearly on the point, but needs just a little bit balance.
Im atm trying to find better values and will send it to you, as soon as i found them.

Too many international-teammanager offers.
Would like to see more offers from other clubs.

I also found some good values, to make sure you get some better scouts.
Changing following values, made the weight/height´s for youthplayers a little more balanced. (in scout.ini)

[PLAYER_APPEARANCE]
LOW_CHANCE = 10
HIGH_CHANCE = 15

to

[PLAYER_APPEARANCE]
LOW_CHANCE = 5
HIGH_CHANCE = 10

Can somebody maybe test this?
Im also trying to find out, what following values really does:

YOUTH_PLAYER_ATTRIBUTES_MODIFIER = 10

I will be more than happy to test this. Bringing players through the youth setup in Career Mode is the main hook for me, so any altering to help balance and make this feature better is a major plus.

Does anyone else experience the fact that you can no longer skip cutscenes after installing this mod? I'm just trying to figure out if this mod or the fidel gameplay mod cause my problem.
BTW does anyone know how to fix this as it is very, very annoying.

Just had another annoying bug rear its ugly head, your typical lazy EA programming, so random player, we'll call him Fred, has 6 months on his contract, I want to buy him cheap in January (ie now) rather than signing him on a bosman, I negotiate the fee with his club, start contract negotiations, at the same time some clubs make him bosman offers, long story short he agrees the contract with me and signs for me and then I see he's also signed a bosman contract with another club, so he's in my squad but showing as leaving when his contract expires :(

Edit: I should add this is vanilla Fifa15 not something your mod introduced, you're our only hope of fixing it because we all know if it's not a UT bug EA don't give a shit :(

Thanks for the findings dalb2k!

To answer the question:
Code:
YOUTH_PLAYER_ATTRIBUTES_MODIFIER = 10 // Add or min. 10 on an attribute. E.g. If heading is 60, it will do + or - .. 10 = 50 or 70, at least that is what I think it does :P

Update: At the moment I'm rewriting all the files. I see that I've done a lot of mistakes in the last releases (set wrong/invalid/high/low values, etc.). Now compare it better with vanilla, so it will get a better result. :P
Sorry again for all the problems, it should make the career better, not worst. 8|

Going to read posts again, when I'm back on track. :)

how do i fix the transfer window is going so slow :(

Upgrade your CPU, or delete the mod.

It's already been covered in the thread why the mod slows down the day's progression, I have a decent 8 core CPU and the increase in processing time is negligible.

first I want to say thanks to your hard working and sharing!
and can I have a question?
do you know if you install cmsetting.ini file, the commentators do not introduce the starting line ups when the match begins? i think it's just all about cmsetting, when i regenerate all the files relative to career mode except cmsetting, commentator do their works.
Do you have any solutiong of it? and.. do I want to know how do you decompress ini files..

Always say thanks to you since I play fifa serires.

To answer your last question: The PC (career) files haven't been cracked yet, so I'm using PC & Xbox 360 files, I think they are for 95% the same.

The commentary is a known issue, but I hope to fix this for v1.0. :)

Good news!

I have upload v0.9d that fixes the commentary issue!
It now tells the line-up, etc. :D

If anyone is interested: The PC(/PS4/Xbox-One) has new codes, that aren't in the Xbox 360 version, when debugging the fifa.exe, I've add the missing to cmsettings.ini (CAREERMODE_MANAGERS) and that has fixed it. :P

The v0.9d should fix a lot of issues (rewritten all files), so please give it a go. :)

Sorry again for all the issues, but I hope with this version it get's back to usable again. ;)

Is there anyway of adding the commentary fix into my current career mode patch setup? I had a mix of 0.5 & 0.9.. just wanted to add the fix to it!

How are the transfers etc in 0.9d?
