this patch sounds like a dream come true. Have you done anything to the fatigue system?

We apreciate the time and effort you are putting into this and EA should too...

Ok Bye guys and Let's hope it turns out as you guys would like it to be.

I agree fifa 2004 defintaly needs an upgrade on gameplay....coz its shiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[darigaaz36]

Yeah, remember the CPU sub thing!
And, could you make the defenders mark my players a little closely instead just charging towards my player and robbing me of the ball. That way I can actually make use of the Shift+C move.

A little demanding am I? Keep it up.

 

[murder112]

is this gonna be fifa 2005??

 

[kingcazza]

i think fifa need to start from scratch to come up with something special coz it needs alot of work

 

[Bolerus]

A couple of suggestions for your new patch

Firstly, install "feel the game patch 1.03)

there are some nice touches in there , too many to mention, but a few are

CPU:- makes tactical substitutions, cpu attackes with different attacks (uses wing attacks) , Defenders arent quite so perfect (which to me was a big difference)

Player get injured, but are ok by next match (this is good cos sometimes players just get littel knocks - BUT it woudl be good if some players got injured for longer)

Additions:-

Woudl defintaly be excellent, and needed if players stats make more of a difference to player skills on the pitch. particulray defenders

CPU players never seem to tire, particulary the goalkeeper, what goallie can make 15 diving saves and still be ready to dive at everything, all with in 10 minutes of matchplay

CPU players (partuiculary lower league /skilled ones) shoudl make visible mistakes occasionally, perhaps linked with fatigue, so more mistakes near end of match.

A great addition woudl be a Patch Raptor style program , so we can try out different patches to see which we like, more easily, without having to over write files all the time,

Any way, hope I have given you some food for thought.

DONT FORGET THE DYNAMIC WEATHER PLS!!

 

[pool4ever]

=> higher the vol of the crowd sound ...
=> ball physic for your fifa 2003 patch

 

[Zain]

are we able to make dynamic weather and Kashif you are a shehzada of fifa hope it will be a great patch

 

[Kashif]

Yeah...Now this is the response i wanted from you guys. But just keep in mind... THE WORK'S JUST BEGUN SO YOU WILL GET ALOT OF GREAT THINGS IN THE PATCH...But i got a question for Liverpool4ever. You said a higher volume for crowd well you can do it in the options menu and about the next line i have to ask you... Are you trying to say that i get the physics of my patch which i made for 2003 into 2004??? You'll have to tell me that first... I've enabled the CPU sub thing the first time i edited the ini.big but sadly i haven't seen any subs in ALL the matches i've played since then. And i've played approx 60+ matches...Injury rate is higher. Ref is stricter and yes Various attack styles from CPU with a fantastic strategy also defined. The strategy i've made is currently under testing coz with some teams it's perfect but with others, there is possession problem. So just fixing that. By the way you'll see teams like Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Chelsea really kick ass. They use counter-attack too!!!!I've made fatigue alot better. Coz the stamina recharges quicker and you can use your star players more often. But after match stats will show your players fatigued alot if you do so repeatedly and therefore in career mode, you may pay the price for pushing too hard with your stars. For your guys info, i have made a small installer, which not only provides an exit for the copy-paste install method but not only installing the patch, it also makes a backup of your old files so when you uninstall, you get back to your old files!!! It's a really cool thing but i'm sorry i can't make a program for trying out different options.

[Zain]

good man you are great do you know the size of this upgrade

 

[Fifasnipers]

Kashif, when you put a link to the patch, plz include a link to the same patch but that doesn't install automatically, I just want to copy it manually, it's a problem in my FIFA directory.
Thx for your effort in this patch, as you say it will be JUST GREAT.

 

[Mex]

Kashif Jamal its nice that you talking about fatigue, tried to reduce fatigue long time ago since original fifa 2004 fatigue seems way high but didnt found anything with effect inside game.

this :

STAMINA_RECHARGE = interpolation.......

have no effect, including all that section of vectors, FATIGUE_CURVE also not working...

Why i am really sure? use a HEX editor and open fifa2004.exe , now search for the same variables found at the .ini , if you dont find the variable that means its not included , they are at the .ini because EA was lazy to remove em lol

Any other way of doing this without patching the .EXE?

Do you tried my patch yet? what you think?

Ok FifaSnipers i will make one for you where you use the copy-paste method. But you'll have to contact me on my personal email inbox so that i can mail it to you directly. I work for Fifadimensions as you guys know so i don't know if the admin will allow me to upload a file for 1 person specially. Anyways... Mex i'm surprised... I really am. Coz you've broken the hatchet of 1 of my all time great tricks. I always use a hexaeditor to see which lines work and which don't. I see you and i work in the same way and maybe you'd like us working together. What do you think? I think the prospects will be extremely rewarding. Maybe you can also get onto the Fifadimensions team with my help and then we will both be part of the gameplay editors of the site. WHAT DO YOU THINK BUDDY??? I'll wait for your reply... Just checking the forum so no updates at the moment... But keep the requests coming... Am noting everything down to update in patch... Have fun guys... Bye Bye...

 

[Zain]

can you tell the size of this upgrade or its the ini

me too, very surprised about your gameplay ideas, even if you havent released anything yet you seem to know it well

will be glad to team up, going to send you PM with my MSN contact

 

[16Valve]

Mex, I'd like to try your patch but I get an error when I follow your directions (error processing files). Then enabling mod, it doesn't find the mod files.
Can I install the aicpu.big like it's done in the "Feel The Game" patch? Do I also need all the other .ini's and where do I install them manually if needed?
Thanks for the info.
