EA Patch v1.2 And How It Majorly Affects The CPU AI

[dazzer169]

Btw guys, to confirm what FifaMonkey2012 was saying, or wondering about, I always set the game up to be Barca vs Real Madrid to do AI vs AI matches (dont think i ever mentioned that I always watch AI vs AI with those 2 teams), and compared pre-patch and post-patch and noticed the major difference, and as FifaMonkey2012 said, they purely do the silly quick twist animation and pass the ball off without ''thinking'' or doing any slow protect the ball sequences which is where the SkillMoves get attempted. Ok, they do it everynow and again on v1.02, but so damn rarely, and the whole match ends up looking poorly coded, whereas pre-patch it was, at times, sheer poetry to watch.

Has anyone kept the files for patch v1.01? I ask that as I only bought the retail game just after v1.02 was released so i cannot get v1.01 from EA to test it << this all assumes v1.01 was released for PC?

If you checked for updates and it says its up to date ... guess what .... its probably up to date.

Goto your fifa14/game folder and looks for the patch files already posted here thats the clue.

BTW if anyone is interested I unpacked the patch.big and uploaded everything here so you can use it with regen instead:

Things to ignore or not copy over if you dont want AI fixes are folders:

attribdb2
attribdbgameplay
db

Copy the rest over to fifa14/game/ and regen. So at least you do get the crowed stadium fix, camera bug fix & from what I can see some menu fix at least from the patch rather than moving it all out. Use this if you want, or dont

I have been happily testing Fidel's and also AndreaPirlo21's AI + DB Mods for the last hour, all loaded via simply placing them in that FIFA14MOD folder............marvellous, well done to Jenkey and his tool that works for me now (after my initial assuming that the logo not appearing meant it didn't work for me............)

Both Mod's absolutely killing v1.2's mess caused by EA................both Mod's have brought back the Demo and v1.0's fluidity, and timesed that by 10 x..............I think the fact I sit through countless Barca vs Real Madrid matches (with both teams having player like Ibra, Ronaldinho, Coutniho and Nani transferred into them) helps in terms of the difference that is viewable in every touch, every fluid animation, every contextual skillmove that makes these Mods compared to the Vanilla v1.2 gameplay compare so favourably, and hey, I'm happy! Same thing happens every year as we know, but this year, with the base game having so much going for it (with EA themselves doing there utmost to kill their own product...), these Modding guys have released the beast, amazingly, and that's with their first attempts at the full version..........

Organic Fifa is back...........................

[Fifamonkey2012]

Patch.bh / Patch.big ... if they exist thats your answer.

Hi dazzer169,

I found a code in the exe yesterday that presumably only uses the gameplayattribdb.big associated with the data0.big.
See this thread for details on what the update did and what did it: http://www.soccergaming.com/forums/showthread.php?t=187899
So, now you'll have to make a rna.ini first. Then paste this code in at the top:
USE_REMOTE_GAMEPLAYATTRIBDB=0
Save the file in your Game folder.

I've tested this today; it seems, as you already mentioned that the AI has better variance, better flow. Let me know if this works without renaming the patch.big and patch.bh.

After i do this,and watch AI vs AI with real and barca,i havent checked with lower team,i have noticed the AI is pretty good,they play more "thinking" than the AI with patch 1.20.I also add more traits to players to see the different.and then i move patch file out of game folder,the ai use more skills and dribbling.Is there anyway to make the AI play like this without change name or move the patch file? Thanks to everyone for discover this tricks,make the game more enjoyable

You might want to think about removing attrib line and actualy now implementing the demo extracted attribs files from gameplayzer or Fidel.

Tackling for players and defending is very nice now. I get ball knocked from me with leg stretch after thoughts more, I think EA introduced this as a feature IE "Second try tackle" but they seemed to have killed that with official patch (among all of it), the attribs now bring that back more.

Im using non patched & Immersion default DB & cli.ini with gamplayzers attribs, for teams in lower leagues its a dream to play and not silly in top ones either.

Dear guys.
This thread is amazing !
What does exactly contains the two folders we have in the gameplayzer.
They really affects the gameplay. Is something that was enabled into the demo ?
Without patch files into the fifa folder...game is smoother and nice.
But if I add any kind of rna.ini AI file, result is not so good. To me seems like game goes again faster and I don't like it.

For me perfect balance is : 1)no patch files 2)attrib folders by fifattciu

Will this work with the Moddingway addon? Also my main complaint is the AI tries to dribble the ball out of danger, and hogs the ball, instead of passing it or clearing it, they open themselves to me easily stealing and going on the break. Also when the AI goalie gets a back pass and quickly clears it, his pass goes all of 10-20 yards forward. How can I fix these issues? I've tried all the various AI mods but nothing seems to play correctly with them. All the teams play like Barca vs Real even when it's 2nd division England.

There is a new team dribble rating this year that causes that; set it to 10 or so and players dribble normally.

That appears to be a bug in the game this year; I am trying to find settings that might fix it but haven't so far.

Where do I set it to 10? I am using the moddingway addon, would that have already adjusted it?

Inside the db is a teams table, you need to open with DBM and change it there. Moddingway mod does not make extreme gameplay changes like that, no.

Do you have a db that I can use that does this?

 

[miketheslummy]

Which differences MW default EA db has ?
Is it the DEFAULT EA original one ? Or there's some edit into it ?

Why is the AI so dumb when I run with the ball on the flanks? They never run with me, they always stop and then start again, letting me easily run past.

If you are going to spend your time posting about everything that's wrong with the game, you need to learn to use the editing tools so you can fix things for yourself.

I'm just posting my observations so people smarter than me can hopefully make proper adjustments, or tell me what I can adjust myself. Otherwise I have no clue what to do.
