FIFA 15 Better Career Patch

[demiurgous]

hi beta990

does your mod cause any problem with EASFC Football Club earning credit and XP?

For the first few days, its been running smoothly and everytime I won a match in Career mode, I get the usual XP and credit to level up and buy upgrades. But for the past few hours, its just been stuck on what I'm currently on. Everytime I win, it doesn't show up saying I won....bla bla etc.


Mods I'm using are: Revolution mod (just graphics) and Career Better Patch (tried disabling rna.ini, but still no luck )


you got any clue?

P.S. Anyway your patch is wonderful as ever!

Hi all.
I was wondering, why through balls are so bad, meaning that when I give a through pass, the ball goes with very high speed and most times away from the receiver, resulting in lost posession.
This happens no matter what settings I choose for gamepad or in user game customization,and maybe something can be done about this?

Yes I have this issue aswell as the control pad/D-pad not working for tactics.

Another thing I noticed about gameplay is that the CPU slide tackles way too much. At least EA fixed the always perfect slide tackles from last year but this year even when a player is containing they will try to slide tackle you. Also can we make it so GK form matters in game. I was playing a game and the commentary said the opposing GK had low form recently. Then I took a cracking shot from the edge of the box and he makes a ridiculous full extension save. I would also like to see a difference in ability of GKs between a championship GK and Manuel Neuer because on power shots they all seem to be ridiculous but there are exploits that are really frustrating such as shooting as soon as the GK comes out.

So you just removed the commentary files? Could you give the filenames?

Update: Released v0.5

I removed everything that I thought was unneeded :
- compdata folder
- scripts folder
- commentaryweights.ini
- commentators_notes.ini
- commentators_note_matchday.ini
and many others files unmodified or encrypted. As you said, not all files are from PC version, so i'm not really confident about that, and I think it's more secure to remove unused (by the mod) files.

Finally my folder only have those files :


I removed playergrowth.ini because actually it's unusable and act oddly on players.

The game seems to work properly so I guess these files act as an override and when they are removed, it's the defaults files that are used.

The only one I see missing that is needed is board.ini
There are a couple changeable options that I at least would like to adjust outside of the mod. Otherwise it looks pretty slim and sleek I like it.

 

[beta990]

Thanks very much for the response. I do have that unlocked, but editing is limited to cosmetic in the editor (boots, shirt sleeve length etc), I was hoping that it would maybe be possible to swap that editor with the create player editor or something, but I realise that would probably be pretty difficult.

One last minor annoying bug I've found (that shipped with the initial game, not a problem with your patch) is that 9 times out of 10 at the end of each half there seems to be 5mins stoppage time. 5mins is pretty rare in real games, maybe this could be lowered to 3 or 4.

Hmm, in the EPL is quite normal in my opion. :P
I think that's why they increased the time limit.

But to answer your question, I don't know yet what flag it controls.

i am new to this career-patch, want to start a career. i always read about gameplay and commentary being changed with this mod. Just want a improved careermode/transfers (using FidelGameplayMod allready). Can i use this mod?

Yeah, please read the FAQ.

Is it me or is no clubs offering for any players that I put on the loan list? Not sure if its just the loan list but whenever I put someone up, I receive no offers. Something else for the transfers, I think there should be more big clubs such as Arsenal or Chelsea signing people that are not as world class such as Rafinha.

What are their age? If they are like 16/17 there aren't any loan offers, seems like this is disabled by default.

About more loan offers:

FORCE_USER_BID_LISTVSLOAN = 50	// % chance that we look at the listed player vs loan ( < for list and > for loan )

Inside transfer.ini

I have a bug to report!

Since installing this my controls and game are a bit messed up. I use a Logitech Dual Action pad which is supported by the game and worked before install.

1. When I'm the goalkeeper for penalties I no longer have control and have to SIDE SELECT and use keyboard to save them.

2. When I press the DOWN TACTIC D-PAD it now gives me a list of subs so to change, pressing, counter attack, possession or long ball tactic I have to START into the menu and Team Management.

3. Could you look into fixing this or give a solution please

Hi Muzzsjm,

What version are you using? I'd hope this was fixed in v0.5.

Thanks for the report!

Known bug, will fix this in the next version. It seems that a line inside rna.ini is causing this issue. Will take a look what line is responsible for this behavior.

Where do i find a career-patch, with no gameplay/commentary altering, one that only makes more realistic transfers and better youth-grow.

When installing this patch, just don't select the gameplay patch (it's optional).
About your commentary question; this should be fixed in v0.5.
Although there are still improvements needed.

you got any clue?

P.S. Anyway your patch is wonderful as ever!

I think this is caused by more people that are online or EA but some kind of check, but don't know for sure.
I didn't changed any online things, are all required ports open?

Another thing I noticed about gameplay is that the CPU slide tackles way too much. At least EA fixed the always perfect slide tackles from last year but this year even when a player is containing they will try to slide tackle you. Also can we make it so GK form matters in game.

I removed playergrowth.ini because actually it's unusable and act oddly on players.

The game seems to work properly so I guess these files act as an override and when they are removed, it's the defaults files that are used.

I've edited files in compdata (increased game-ban when red/double-yellow carded to 3 games max.), inside script folder I removed teams buying without haven't the actual budget and reduced retirement.
That is also what I find strange, the scripts/compdata folder, is from the PC version itself. So it should work without any problems.

About playgrowth.ini, what was wrong with it?

Feel free to do what every you want thought, I only provided this mod, so it can easy be changed to your own needs.

The only one I see missing that is needed is board.ini
There are a couple changeable options that I at least would like to adjust outside of the mod. Otherwise it looks pretty slim and sleek I like it.

Thanks, since I haven't done any changed to that, it also get's deleted when installing a new version:

[beta990]

Having played the patch for a couple seasons, I will make my first impressions.

-Have yet to see whether physicals grow or not, but I haven't seen a player start with a physical stat above 70 out of the youth system.
-83 stand tackle in a 70 ovr CB is a little unrealistic. It's almost as if the lack of physicals to start is being compensated for by the excess of technical stats.

Thanks, will take a look in scout.ini if it can be changed.

-Haven't seen if this got fixed yet but games in the Championship are coinciding with international breaks and it's making decent size clubs forfeit games due to a lot of players being on international duty.

Should be fixed in v0.5. Please give it a try and let me know.

-Fatigue needs some work; the lower leagues have the most games and the smallest teams and the players with the lowest stamina stats, so they are battered by players who are at half stamina after the 2-3 days rest they have between games and the teams don't have the depth to replace them.

Yeah, I will increase it for the next version.

UPDATE: It seems that physicals grow for some players but not others. Also I had a 28 yr old go up +4 in one season. That shouldn't happen. I can see +1 or even +2 for a 28 yr old but +4 is kind of ridiculous.
Btw all of this was done on v0.4 so if anything that I've said has been tweaked for v0.5 it's not applicable. Also Overall I love the mod. I used it religiously is Fifa 14 and am very glad you have chosen to continue with it in Fifa 15 and am very grateful for all your hard work.

Could you please tell me if this was because of this (good) form or because the player growth?

Thanks for the feedback btw. This helps me a lot.

 

[beta990]

Thanks for the feedback, as always enough info to find out were the problem might be.

Hey beta990,

first, thanks for your work.
Are you still working with xbox files?

Yes, the PC files haven't been cracked yet.

- Fitness

While i like your idea of the fitness-system, i think it´s a little bit too hard.
Especially for low and little teams.

When you have english weeks, you have to play with half-dead players.
But as it is optional, it´s not that important.

I agree, will increase this in the next version or would it be better to return to the default values?

- Transfers

The increased player values are good, but need some adjustment:
- Remaining contract-time should a have a little bit more influence
- The values need some better balance in age, ovr. & position.
- A 82 ovr. rated player, playing in Austria should not have the same value as a equal rated player from German Bundesliga. (Because of the lower league)
- At least the asking price from the clubs, shouldn´t be the same.

While speaking of asking price from other clubs.
CPU will always ask for a higher offer from me, than from the other CPU-Clubs.

For example:
Hoffenheim wanted 27m for Volland (79) from Bayern, just to sell him 1 week later to Zenit for laughable 12m.

The playervalues my board recommends are also a little bit too high.
On the other side, if i put a high-value player on transfer list, i get very bad offers. (Di Maria anyone?)

Saw more players re-signing a new contract with their clubs. (If contract length >6months)
Dont know how you think, but i would prefer less renewals and more pre-signed contracts with other clubs.


I would love to see even more transfer movements.
Sometimes some medium/low clubs in BPL and Bundesliga dont transfer even one player in 3-4 transfer windows. You wouldn´t see this in real life.
Better clubs should go for the top players from the lower clubs in their leagues.


Less top-player movement is good, yet i think it´s too less.
I see a lot attempts from CPU, but it seems player are refusing offers from different clubs all the time.
At least the top-clubs should go more for perspective players.


Some stupid transfers are also still happening. Barca signed with Rene Adler (81)an other GK in the first transfer winter. Because Bravo (83), Ter-Stegen (82) and Jordi Masip (70) is not enough,...


Have you changed something about the playerwages?
Because my players are feeling underpaid all the time and dont hesitate to let me know,.......

Thanks, the transfer-market needs a lot of improvements, but will try to fix most issues in the next couple of versions. Will go through your list.
It seems to be difficult thought, still seeing a lot of top-player movement in the first transfer-window.

Haven't changed player-wages. I see however this code:

[WAGE_INT_REPUTATION]
MAX = 5				// The maximum value international prestige can be
MIN = 0				// The minimum value international prestige can be

REPUTATION_1 = 1		// Players international prestige inclusively less than this value
REPUTATION_1_VAL = 0
REPUTATION_2 = 2
REPUTATION_2_VAL = 0
REPUTATION_3 = 3
REPUTATION_3_VAL = 0
REPUTATION_4 = 4
REPUTATION_4_VAL = 10
REPUTATION_5 = 5
REPUTATION_5_VAL = 25

And

[WAGE_CLUB_PRESTIGE]
MAX = 20			// The maximum value club prestige can be
MIN = 0				// The minimum value club prestige can be
PRESTIGE_1 = 3			// Players club prestige inclusively less than this value
PRESTIGE_1_VAL = -90		// Percentage change
PRESTIGE_2 = 5
PRESTIGE_2_VAL = -60
PRESTIGE_3 = 15
PRESTIGE_3_VAL = 0
PRESTIGE_4 = 17
PRESTIGE_4_VAL = 35
PRESTIGE_5 = 20
PRESTIGE_5_VAL = 60

Maybe it's because of the club prestige and international reputation of the player (that it get's), the asking of wages get's increased.

-Scouting

I can see better workrates and some better physical attributes for youth players.
Maybe change the age to 15-17 ?

Still some flaws for me:
- Sometimes weight & height dont match.
- Low height CB & GK. (>180cm)
- 16years old with good potential requests a contract, or he is gone. I dont want to sign them that early with such a low ovr.

It is nearly impossible to get a south-american scout. (Regional-Scout & Youth-Scout)

Let´s be honest, nobody gonna get a bad scout for his team.
We all will go for the 4/5*-Scouts. Maybe you can include this?

I agree, about the age change: this requires editing the database, otherwise you will get the issue from last year (really low/bad values). Haven't got the time to look at this.

-Player-Growth

Im still not sure, if i really can see that much more growth for my players.
CPU-Growth seems fine. But sometimes one player will grow 4-8 ovr. in a season.
Dont know, it acts kinda strange to be honest. Would say vanilla is more balanced.

Beside that i have more decline for older players. It also begins earlier compared to vanilla.
A lot of players starting to decline with 28-30. I think Xabi Alonso is a good example for the opposite.

GK-Growth is kinda strange. Either much growth or nothing at all.

High Pot./Low ovr. (86/69) should have little bit faster growth than High Pot./Middle ovr. (82/74)

I agree, will take a look.

-Less player retirement

Dont know if that was really needed?
Especially considering we have earlier decline with your changes.

Some examples:

Gerrard retired with 38 and 70 ovr.
Robben retired with 36 and 78 ovr.
Ribery retired with 35 and 78 ovr.
Pizzaro retired with 38 and 67 ovr.
Xabi Alonso retired with 36 and 72 ovr.

It wouldn´t be as bad, if they wouldn´t stick with their initial clubs, till the end.

Are you sure this is caused by this mod? Will take a look, because I haven't touched the values that controls it, but maybe there is something else causing this issue.

GamePlay

Hard to say, as i couldn´t test as much and i dont know what to look for.
Maybe you can tell us, what you have changed?

Why have you tuned the referee foul- & cardstrictness down that much?
Will you still face enough fouls?

The fouls are sill there, but like in the EPL, the referee will keep the game more going, and give the player a card later. At least, that is the idea behind it. :P

Still i like a lot of your changes and appreciate your work.

PS:
To get a better sense for transfermarkt and realistic player values, i always use:

http://www.transfermarkt.com/statistik/transferrekorde?saison_id=14%2F15&land_id=&ausrichtung=&spielerposition_id=&altersklasse=&leihe=

Thanks again for the feedback! Keep me posted about the issues you having.

 

[MrBlackie]

Man last year you were helping me a lot, help me also this year...i need to know about fitness how to do players less tired after the match and about accepting the contract...

 

[beta990]

Man last year you were helping me a lot, help me also this year...i need to know about fitness how to do players less tired after the match and about accepting the contract...

Yeah, but already answered the questions in the FAQ.

About fitness, cmsettings.ini:

// 0 - 33
BASE_DAY_1_1 = 3 //  60 def
BASE_DAY_1_2 = 8 // (15) def
BASE_DAY_1_3 = 13
BASE_DAY_1_4 = 16
BASE_DAY_1_5 = 12
BASE_DAY_1_6 = 10
BASE_DAY_1_7 = 10
BASE_DAY_1_8 = 9
BASE_DAY_1_9 = 8
BASE_DAY_1_10 = 8

// 33 - 66
BASE_DAY_2_1 = 4 //  50 def
BASE_DAY_2_2 = 9 // (12) def
BASE_DAY_2_3 = 13
BASE_DAY_2_4 = 14
BASE_DAY_2_5 = 11
BASE_DAY_2_6 = 10
BASE_DAY_2_7 = 9
BASE_DAY_2_8 = 8
BASE_DAY_2_9 = 7
BASE_DAY_2_10 = 7

// 66 - 100
BASE_DAY_3_1 = 5 //  40 def 
BASE_DAY_3_2 = 9 // (10) def
BASE_DAY_3_3 = 11
BASE_DAY_3_4 = 9
BASE_DAY_3_5 = 8
BASE_DAY_3_6 = 7
BASE_DAY_3_7 = 7
BASE_DAY_3_8 = 7
BASE_DAY_3_9 = 7
BASE_DAY_3_10 = 7

Increase the values above, like BASE_DAY_1_1 = 15

 

[XKBlade]

I've edited files in compdata (increased game-ban when red/double-yellow carded to 3 games max.), inside script folder I removed teams buying without haven't the actual budget and reduced retirement.
That is also what I find strange, the scripts/compdata folder, is from the PC version itself. So it should work without any problems.

About playgrowth.ini, what was wrong with it?

Feel free to do what every you want thought, I only provided this mod, so it can easy be changed to your own needs.

Oh I missed that :/, i'll put them back, they are from PC version so it should be ok

I've noticed many random growth on some players, with edited playergrowth...For example old player decrease sooner, or young player loose attributes sometimes, mainly physical attributes.
And seems a bit more of players of my team do not increase (but maybe this part is caused by calendar simulation that don't give enough playtime to some players).
GK growth is strange too, but even in vanilla it's strange

 

[dalb2k]

hey beta990,

Thanks for the feedback, as always enough info to find out were the problem might be.

Yes, the PC files haven't been cracked yet.

I really hope, someone can manage to decrypt those pc-files, as i still hope, we´ll find differences in the files. (more options?)

I agree, will increase this in the next version or would it be better to return to the default values?

Would be better to increase, instead of returning to default.
With default values, you are not forced to rotate at all.

It would also help, if my players wouldn´t like to play every damn game and get upset that fast. Somtimes even with low-fitness or with an injury.

Another issue is, that CPU also doesn´t tend to rotate. CPU will always try to bring the best players on the pitch. So they will play with their best starting eleven in the league and two days later in CL/EL, they will have to use unfit players or players out of position to compensate.

This is the biggest issue for me, with too tight fitness system.

Great would be, if the fatigue would build up over the time.
And of course it would be great, if CPU-Coach would start to use his players more cleverly. :P

Thanks, the transfer-market needs a lot of improvements, but will try to fix most issues in the next couple of versions. Will go through your list.
It seems to be difficult thought, still seeing a lot of top-player movement in the first transfer-window.

In my simulations i deactived the first transfer windows in summer. Because of this, CPU will use his budget to make some "extreme" transfers in winter. But over 15 years of simulation, i really didn´t saw too many top-player transfers. Maybe because i wasn´t going for big transfers myself?

But i would rather see top-clubs go for all the top-talents.
You know,....Zivkovic, Depay, Laporte, Brandt, Rafa, Quintero, Origi, Scuffet, Kurzawa.

Most of them, were still in their clubs after 4-5 years of simulation.
Some of them evolved to worldclass-players already in that time.

There is a reason, Fifa lets CPU-Clubs cheat with the budget.
Otherwise CPU starts to get limited in his moves.

One thing im also missing in Fifa, is seeing former top-players move to medium clubs, when getting old(er).

Maybe it's because of the club prestige and international reputation of the player (that it get's), the asking of wages get's increased.

Yeah, you might be right and actually it´s kinda okay that way.

I agree, about the age change: this requires editing the database, otherwise you will get the issue from last year (really low/bad values). Haven't got the time to look at this.

Have an idea which db you will use?
I hope someone will release an expanded db with all missing players, real coaches, etc.

I always increase the potentials for some selected players in my db´s.
Otherwise the game will lack of top-players after 10 years and the average level drops.

Are you sure this is caused by this mod? Will take a look, because I haven't touched the values that controls it, but maybe there is something else causing this issue.

No, im not sure at all.
But as the players decline faster, it stands out more.

The whole random retirement system is so stupid.

The fouls are sill there, but like in the EPL, the referee will keep the game more going, and give the player a card later. At least, that is the idea behind it. :P

Ok, will check this.
How about any recommended sliders?

I would like to know more about the gameplay, beside the changes in speed.


Pls let me know, if i can help you with anything.

Hi all!

Sorry for this short message, going to bed now.. :P

I released a test version (See 'Testing Releases' > FIFA_15_BCP_v0.6.exe.zip), with a lot of improvements, changes, fixes, .. to much to list.
It also clean-ups the FIFA 15 directories from unused files that came with previous versions.

Every file has been rewritten, checked, tested.. by me, and changes has been made to be as close asap to the feedback as you guys give me.

Focus area's:
- Transfer-marked (receiving offers, (top) player transfers, player values ..)
- Gameplay (hope this fixed the heavy tackling, etc.)
- Player growth, morale, ..
- Fitness (new system)
- ..

Please tell me what changes you (don't) like.

Sorry for all the heavy releases, EA did make a lot of changes, and I cannot do all the tests at my own.
I released this version tonight, because I will be away tomorrow. Feel free to post thought, because I will read them when I will be back.

Thanks!

Have fun beta! One thing for the new update, it seems to have messed with the squads because after installing the patch, I seem to not be able to play any of my career modes. Also the squads are messed up, (Falcao still in Monaco)

 

[maseren]

Hey beta,

been experimenting with your rna.ini which i am guessing is your AI upgrade. This is version .6 by the way. On world cup it seemed to make the game easier for me. I basically kept the rca vanilla, did not change anything as i'm not sure what their effects are. The pace of the game is appealing, but again at world class, i felt like the AI was an improvement in strategy but slower in accomplishing the strategy, it was also easy to dispossess the AI, is that by design? I do like the fouls they do cause, and that when they slide for tackles etc... the cheating factor isn't there.

Can you tell me more about the RNA and how if any it differs from the cl.ini. Thanks.

 

[dalb2k]

Have fun beta! One thing for the new update, it seems to have messed with the squads because after installing the patch, I seem to not be able to play any of my career modes. Also the squads are messed up, (Falcao still in Monaco)

Are you sure? Just download the squadupdate once again.
Im using an edited DB with all Transfers and had no problems.

@beta990

After some times of testing v0.6, this is what i found:

- Transfers

I saw some really good top-player transfers, but at the same time not too many. Generally i like the changes you´ve made.

A lot of good transfers, but two things im missing.

Still a few top talents stick too long with their clubs.
If a players level/ovr. is way above the team, he should force a transfer.

Playing Bundesliga or BPL clubs i see too many clubs completely inactive on transfermarket. Sometimes they might sell one player, but dont even get a replacement.

Clubs like Hannover, Mainz, Werder Bremen, Freiburg, Hull, Leicester, West Brom, Newcastle.

With increased playervalues, maybe we need increased budgets for lower teams?

Playervalues are mostly fine, but could be better balanced for age.
While i see your changes for Prestige, i still see low clubs asking too high prices.

Maybe this values are responsible for this?

POOR_TEAM_MAX_PERC = 120
MEDIUM_TEAM_MAX_PERC = 140

- Player growth/morale

WAY better than before.
I really like the growth for my players. Also the new moral settings seem to work fine.

CPU players growth can be sometimes a little bit extreme. Few players had 8-10 ovr. growth within one season.

Players decline still a little bit earlier in physics with your settings. But my older players also had some growth for skill attributes. This balances the declension of older players a little bit. Hope you can balance this even more.

- Fitness (new system)

Should be fine now.
Definitely better.

Maybe you could increase the injuries a little bit? (for more realism)
In simulated games, aswell in training and internationals.

-Gameplay

Again i couldn´t test as much, but i didn´t found any bugs.
I like to play on slow and with your gamespeed settings it´s gettings too slow.

-Retirement

Are there any players retiring before the age of 35?
If so, i couldn´t find them.

And why do the contracts get renewed all the time? Who would resign 37 year old Xavi with ~72 ovr. ?


Overall the mod is already better than vanilla.
Hope you can look at the things mentioned above and give the Scouts and Youthplayers some love.

Thanks anyway !

 

[beta990]

No problem here, I don't provide a database either. Only a patched fifadb.xml file, but should not be a problem.
Are you using the 'Download latest squad update?' (You should use that)
Also.. other mods installed? Regenerate?

Hey beta,

been experimenting with your rna.ini which i am guessing is your AI upgrade. This is version .6 by the way. On world cup it seemed to make the game easier for me. I basically kept the rca vanilla, did not change anything as i'm not sure what their effects are. The pace of the game is appealing, but again at world class, i felt like the AI was an improvement in strategy but slower in accomplishing the strategy, it was also easy to dispossess the AI, is that by design? I do like the fouls they do cause, and that when they slide for tackles etc... the cheating factor isn't there.

Can you tell me more about the RNA and how if any it differs from the cl.ini. Thanks.

I think you mean Word Class instead of Word Cup, right? :P
About the differences: I use rna.ini to provide gameplay hacks, well other use cl.ini. It is also possible to use user.ini, etc. But I keep using rna.ini because this is also in the game files itself, and is empty by default. Better keep it safe. :P

The gameplay still needs to be improved, to make the gameplay harder:

[CPUAI]
HOME_DIFFICULTY=1.0
AWAY_DIFFICULTY=1.0
HOME_DEFENSE_DIFFICULTY=1.0
AWAY_DEFENSE_DIFFICULTY=1.0
HOME_OFFENSE_DIFFICULTY=1.0
AWAY_OFFENSE_DIFFICULTY=1.0

Try higher values, like 1.5, 1.2, 2.0.

There are still things that need to improve, for instance, the AI/CPU needs to be smarter, but I hope to improve this in the next couple of versions.

Are you sure? Just download the squadupdate once again.
Im using an edited DB with all Transfers and had no problems.

@beta990

After some times of testing v0.6, this is what i found:
..

Thanks for your feedback! Will try to improve the next couple of versions. Also to see what really controls the transfers, because it is also strange for me, that some teams doesn't have any activity at all.

Will go through your list for the next version.
Keep me posted.

Thanks for the feedback, i'll experiment with the difficulty, but you're right, i meant world class

No problem here, I don't provide a database either. Only a patched fifadb.xml file, but should not be a problem.

The starting line-up commentary problem is still there Before the patch, the commentator would state the team line-ups b4 the game, with the patch installed it says "Now "Your Team's" line up & then says nothing"
