You mean career mode games played CPU vs CPU? Don't think so. If you like that, Football Manager does that.

In the cmsettings.ini

CONSTANT = 6.0

// 0 - 33

But I think that is the amount of Energy players recover after a match, per day.
Is it the "Constant" line?

CONSTANT = 6.0

Becouse I've tried several values there and none seem to work. WHat value should I write there so players don't get so much tired?
THanks!

Yes the Constant line but I think the Base has also an effect. Try these from a very early version of the patch.

I got the this from the previous version of this patch which has the better fitness setting.

Open the cmsetting.ini, find [FITNESS], replace them with these values. I don't know if you need to regenerate after saving the .ini but I did so anyway. But to see the effect, you save must be before a match. I had one save where it's already matchtime and the players' are still tired but from another savepoint before a match, my players had all recovered.

[FITNESS] // new energy recovery model - adam & simon
ENABLED = 1
PLAYER_MAXENERGY = 100
PLAYER_MIN_OVERALL_FOR_NEWS = 75
ENERGY_THRESHOLD_FOR_FATIGUED_EMAIL = 54
NUM_DAYS_FOR_LONG_TERM_INJURY = 14
CONSTANT = 10.0 // (default: 6.0)

// 0 - 33
BASE_DAY_1_1 = 28
BASE_DAY_1_2 = 21
BASE_DAY_1_3 = 16
BASE_DAY_1_4 = 9
BASE_DAY_1_5 = 8
BASE_DAY_1_6 = 6
BASE_DAY_1_7 = 5
BASE_DAY_1_8 = 4
BASE_DAY_1_9 = 2

BASE_DAY_3_3 = 16
BASE_DAY_3_4 = 9
BASE_DAY_3_5 = 7
BASE_DAY_3_6 = 5
BASE_DAY_3_7 = 4
BASE_DAY_3_8 = 3
BASE_DAY_3_9 = 2
BASE_DAY_3_10 = 1

Note: To notice the effect after applying changes your date in career needs to be before the matchday not on the matchday itself.

Yep, but what I need is to reduce the amount of energy my players lose when they are playing, I mean, I want , when I am playing with my team, that they don't lose so much energy.
All those lines are just for the amount of energy that players recover after a match, but I need to change the amount of energy players lost in a match while playing

 

[runaway42]

Ah didn't understand you're original question. It might be in the simsettings.ini
[FATIGUE] // How the players get tired
MAXENERGY = 100 // Maximum energy a player can have
GKADJUST = 75 // Adjustment to energy for a GK
STAMINAINF = 80 // Percentage influece stamina has
FATIGUEBASE = 21 // The base value of stamina lost per game.

 

[Ivsa]

You are misleading him, the "Constant" line is the correct to change, you need to lower it get more energy recovery, I think that around 4 is enough, you will get a very mild mild tiredness from some players, rest will be pretty much always full!?

 

[shiranughie]

Folks,
I just noticed this new problem i have :
Everytime new season came, almost all of my player have unhappy moral. And this isn't getting any better even after couple of matches. Well, maybe slightly better after a couple of winning streak but they're still in "content" mood.

How do i fix this? Which part of moralesettings.ini should i tweak?

 

[BlackEmperor]

Quick question: does anyone have some sort of attribute cap problem? We know that all attributes can improve up to 98, but sometimes, a player won't improve beyond a lower value.

I created a player in CM and for example, his sprint speed won't improve after it hits 96. While for many other players, it goes up to 98.
Now here is where the weird part kicks in. I've changed his sprint speed stat to 98 via CM and indeed, it is 98 in the game. However, once the player reaches the age defined in PHYS_P2_X, it drops to 96 again. There are no negative growth indicators next to the stat (like -2), it just changes to 96 once he hits that particular age and a new month starts. By the way, the same happens if you give a player a 99 attribute stat. It'll drop to 98.
There is no way to prevent it other than changing the P2_X value to a higher age. And for some reason, if you start a new career, the problem stays. So this particular player will never reach a 98 sprint speed value in any career.

I've already said to him that's the one to edit and he has said he already tried editing the constant. but I think what he wants is not recovery but while in a match. He doesn't want his players to lose much energy when he is playing.

I did not read the whole thing, sorry for my mistake!?

 

[beta990]

Oke good to here.
But of adding players from the youth i don't mean from the scout things on the game but real life because on my opinion there are missing players in the teams from there youth squad.

Example:Club Brugge KV
They have 3 goalies in real but on the game they have 2 because the 3the one is in real a reserve and play's for the 21-Team (like we say in our country) but they did'nt add him to the team on FIFA because he was just a reserve and only plays games for the younger team.
Hope you get it a little?

Yep, but to be honest this will take some time: creating kit, faces, correct (player) stats, etc. I'm not that good of creating players, you're best to ask add the mod section.

i'm playing player career and i found a bug. everytime i got called by national team then when back to club match i can only sim the match and even when manager asked me to play..it can only be play when i got called by national team again and when i got called again it when back to sim only..how to fix it?

What database are you using? What (other) mods are you playing with? What version?
I don't use the Player-career mode myself to be honest.

Just as shiranughie explained. Remember that the sum needs to be 100% per Knowledge Level if ever your going to change the amounts.

Exactly! They should sum up to 100.

I wanted to have 5 substitutes instead of 3 in friendly matches in career mode so i added this

1708,rule_numsubsbench,7
1708,rule_numsubsmatch,5

after

1708,comp_type,FRIENDLY

but it wont work still 3 substitutes only. So any other way ? And want to know if it is possible to set up friendly matches to one country or league. Example if u play Bundesliga u got only friendly matches against Spanish Div 2 Teams !! Thx in advance.

Try with a new career and clear out your FIFA 14 Documents folder.
You can't control the teams/leagues, but you can try editing this section in cmsettings.ini (don't forget to regenerate!):

MAX_OTHER_TEAMS_IN_LEAGUE = 3	// Maximum number of other teams in your league to schedule friendlies for at each match day
MAX_MATCHES_SCHEDULED = 3		// Maximum number of friendly matches to schedule before the season begins
TOP_LEAGUE_TOP_PCT = 80			// Likelihood that a team from a top league would play another team from a top league
TOP_LEAGUE_MED_PCT = 20			// Likelihood that a team from a top league would play a team from a medium league
TOP_LEAGUE_LOW_PCT = 0			// Likelihood that a team from a top league would play a team from a lower league
MED_LEAGUE_TOP_PCT = 10			// Likelihood that a team from a medium league would play a team from a top league
MED_LEAGUE_MED_PCT = 60			// Likelihood that a team from a medium league would play another team from a medium league
MED_LEAGUE_LOW_PCT = 30			// Likelihood that a team from a medium league would play a team from a lower league
LOW_LEAGUE_TOP_PCT = 0			// Likelihood that a team from a lower league would play a team from a top league
LOW_LEAGUE_MED_PCT = 25			// Likelihood that a team from a lower league would play a team from a medium league
LOW_LEAGUE_LOW_PCT = 75			// Likelihood that a team from a lower league would play another team from a lower league

is there a way to increase the chance of an international job offer from the users home country for example if your manager is greek is it possible to increase the chance to get an offer from Greece??

BROWSING_LEAGUES_TO_PROCESS = 3		// How many leagues to look at after your if you are browsing for a new job (default : 1)
FIRED_LEAGUES_TO_PROCESS = 3		// How many leagues to look at after your own and one below if you are fired. Higher number = slower
RETIRED_LEAGUES_TO_PROCESS = 3		// How many leagues to look at if you are a retiring player. Higher number = slower
RANDOM_LEAGUES_TO_PROCESS = 3		// How many leagues to look at if you are receving random job offers (default: 1)

CHANCE_USE_LEAGUE_ABOVE = 60		// Chance of looking league above

Can be found inside the file joboffers.ini.

wait the sec, is this patch that causes NO FATIGUE in tournament mode?
after 10 matches there is absolutely nothing, i guess this patch is installed via moddingway

No, not that I'm aware of. If it is a Moddingway bug, report it at their forums.

Hi again!
Still looking for some solution to this:
I want players NOT to get so tired when I play a match controlling them.
Where can I tweak the amount of Energy/Stamina players lose while playing a match?

That's a hard question, because this is set somewhere in the game. It's not that realistic thought. :P

is there any way to WATCH in "manager mode" your games in Career? the game forces to choose sides

Will take a look if this is possible. Would be nice, since this will slightly move the game to a Football Manager game, if you don't want to play a game yourself.

You mean career mode games played CPU vs CPU? Don't think so. If you like that, Football Manager does that.

Yes, sometimes it's great. But don't know how good FIFA 14 plays when CPU vs CPU. As I remember with FIFA 99: 90min. match.. score 24 -6

I'm seeing this issue a lot, but don't have this myself (or don't notice it).
What version are you playing with? And what database/mods?
moresettings.ini:

EARLY_SEASON_PERCENT = 30 // maybe lowering this?

Another question: do you offer players a new contract at the end of the season? I always do this, maybe this fixes some of the low player morale's?

Quick question: does anyone have some sort of attribute cap problem? We know that all attributes can improve up to 98, but sometimes, a player won't improve beyond a lower value.

I created a player in CM and for example, his sprint speed won't improve after it hits 96. While for many other players, it goes up to 98.

It's for some reason very strange how the game controls player growth.
Maybe something in the agepercentagesxp.txt and ratingcurvetable.txt files?

@all: how do you guys like the RC version? Will try to release a new (final) one before the end of this week.

So far I managed to fix most things inside the database, optimized the database structure, fixed some of the *.ini files, etc.

 

[BlackEmperor]

agepercentagesxp doesn't seem to be any help, but ratingcurvetable might help, I'll try that out, although my hopes aren't really high to be honest...

Are these the only files along with playergrowth.ini that have some influence on the growth?

Edit: Taking a closer look at the file, I think it won't help either since the tested player has a potential of 99. So no stat can be better than it should since technically, he should be able to max out all stats eventually.
The problem is that some stats are simply reset to a fixed cap once the player reaches the P2 age for that particular attribute area (physical, mental or skill). It's stupid really, I've noticed that most of his stats seem to be capped at 96 or 97.
For example, he would start out with 96 short passing and after let's say half a season, his short passing would still be 96 but have positive growth indicators next to it (+5 for example although it didn't improve a bit).
I admit that it doesn't really matter if an attribute is at 96 or 98, that's nitpicky. But these are those kinds of bugs that don't have to be in the game.

Maybe: MAX_ANNUAL_GROWTH_DIVISION_5 = 95 in playergrowth.ini?

Well I would like to tweak it so players don't loose so much energy in game, but also I would set they recover a bit slower after the match. So let's say if atm players loose 75 Energy per match, and they recover in days:50,15,12,12,12,12
I would like to set they lose 60 Energy per match and they recover 45,10,6,6,6,6 or something like that, do you get the idea?
So anyone knows where to edit to tweak this? which files?
Thanks!

 

[BlackEmperor]

Hm, really seems to be a bug.
The physical attributes didn't reset for some reason when I tried again today, mental and skill did, however. Attributes like short passing still don't improve past 96 no matter what I change in the file.

 

[maxvell]

Hi beta990,
Can you, please tell me what did you changed to make overall skill of youth players from scout reports not to be like 4-4 or 9-9 like it was in patch v3.7?
Thank you.

Hmm, hardcoded? I can't believe this is the case, there needs to be something controlling it. What happens if you change the growth values higher (>100 or >110?)

Hi maxvell,

If you mean the (incorrect) player overall levels, I fixed this by rebuilding the database again (now based on latest March update).
In case you only want the database: create a backup of the FIFA 14 Game directory first (or the files you like), update to the latest version and rebuild.

 

[SafinFederer]

Hey,

i applied the patch and the player's grow very fast. I like that very much!

The disadvantage is that the players cost so much more money. For example, Holtby has a value of 12.000.0000 -> Tottenham wants 32.000.000 for him. Is it possible to change the selling prices?

If so, will it change in the running career mode or do I have to start a new one?

Thanks in Advance, great Patch!

 

[BlackEmperor]

Hmm, hardcoded? I can't believe this is the case, there needs to be something controlling it. What happens if you change the growth values higher (>100 or >110?)

No idea. Changing the growth values to a higher one doesn't help, I've changed them to 200 even and it had no effect on him.
Maybe it is hardcoded in a way that certain player IDs have this kind of lower caps. Maybe it's random, maybe it's a bug. I really can't make out what's the reason for this (especially since the physical attributes are not reset anymore although I didn't change anything).
