Hi. I would like to know if anyone has found a solution to the goalkeeper charging problem in FIFA 10.
There are many good gameplay mods on this site, but I have yet to see a gameplay mod that creates a challenging goalie.
It seems that most of the times when you dribble anywhere near the box or from the sideline, the goalkeeper will charge out unrealistically and leave the net wide open for a cross.
To create challenging gameplay, it is vital that CPU goalkeepers stay close to the goal. It is vital that CPU goalkeepers hug the post when you are dribbleing down the sideline, and move laterally quickly back and forth on the goal line when crosses occur.
I think we have seen some significant improvements to FIFA 10 PC in terms of dribble speed, midfield play, and collisions. But the CPU goalkeeper seems to be one area where no one has solved.
This is what I am attempting to create from a CPU GK standpoint:
-conservative keepers that move laterally left and right between the posts and rarely charge oncoming dribblers
-keepers that never run out wide away from the goal to opponent attackers dribbling from the corner sideline towards the goal
-truly smart keepers that make you find creative ways to score against them
For human / user controlled keepers, keepers should never auto-charge unless you press the GK charge button or manually control the keeper with right analog click-in to switch to goal keeper.
If anyone has found gameplay in ai.ini that is realistic I'd love to test it out. With all the other great gameplay mods, this is one area that is holding FIFA 10 back from being a complete game.
In real soccer, goalkeepers usually do not charge out towards the sidelines under any circumstances, leaving the net wide open. That is the defensive back's responsibilities.
The important things that we should look to improve for CPU goalkeepers is:
-CPU goalkeepers should never chase opponent attackers coming toward the goal from the sidelines and leave a wide open net
-CPU goalkeepers should never rush full speed the moment an opponent dribbler nears the penalty area
-CPU goalkeepers should move quickly laterally left and right with arms outstretched (like they do on penalty kicks) during play
-CPU goalkeepers should guard the goal, and should make user players pinpoint shots to the corner of the net.
-CPU goalkeepers should play smart and should only charge as a last resort at an optimal angle. if a dribbler is trying to move around them, they should charge and move laterally with the dribbler to prevent being beaten. and when the dribbler starts dribbling away from the goal towards the sidelines, the goalie should immediately rush back to the near post to be able to defend a lob shot
If anyone has found a good balance of the goalie tuning parameters in ai.ini for FIFA 10 that leads to conservative CPU goalies that guard the goal and move quickly left and right between the posts, I'd love to test the parameters.
In UCL 06/07, I found a good balance of CPU goalies that didn't rush out that much but there are more parameters in FIFA 10's ai.ini (like GK_CPU_CHARGING_MAX_RANGE = 22 and GK_CPU_CHARGING_AGGRESSION_BONUS = 0.0) that make it harder to achieve this conservative goalie.
Thank you and I hope in the near future we can really make this game as great as it should by making the CPU goalkeepers conservative, not charge out and leave wide open nets, and make it so the human / user goalkeeper does not charge unless the user switches to him or presses the GK charge button.
