help with career.ini

[firefan98]

Can anyone help me?

I'm tired of having difficulty with the transfer market. None of the players I make bids for get accepted.

So, I'm going to edit the career.ini file to make it easier. Does anyone have definitions for the settings shown below in career.ini?

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sorry, I should have clarified my intentions.

I'm looking to make it easier for me to sign players through the transfer market, but I want to limit the transfers between CPU team. I don't want T.Henry transfered from Arsenal to some Portugal team because the CPU is transfer-happy.

Again, any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

What team do you play with....if its a lower league team or you're in your first year you'll have trouble signing players due to team or manager prestige and that transfer market setting prob wont help you though I'm not sure.

I've already modified the database to increase the prestige of the team I'm playing with. This has helped somewhat, but it is still difficult to get transfers to go through. That's why I'm looking for the definition of the career.ini settings.

you could try a couple of things at first. At least for the buying issue.

Try increasing these values individually, starting with the first posted:

PROB_BUY_FIRST_PLAYER = 30 (I have this set to 50, cause either he signs, or he doesnt)

if that doesnt work, then maybe try increasing payment. I know for a fact teams wont sell star players for 'market value' unless they are already on the market. You have to pay a rediculous fee to snag them.

Here is my career.ini settings:

TRANSFER_MIN_TEAM_SIZE = 14
BASE_REBIRTH_AGE = 17
SIGNING_FEE_PERCENTAGE = 1.0
RATING_DIFF_FOR_CPU_SCOUT = 10

RENEWAL_MULTIPLIER = 0.6
BOSMAN_MULTIPLIER = 0.8

PROB_OF_REBIRTH = 30

TRANSFER_MIN_TEAM_SIZE = 14
MAX_PER_TEAM_SALES = 2
PROB_SELL_BEST_WORST = 5
PROB_PLAYER_IS_LOANED = 2
RATING_DROP_FOR_FORCED_SALE = 20
PLAYERS_LESS_THAN_DESIRED_FOR_FORCED_SALE = 0
TRANSFER_MIN_TEAM_SIZE = 14
PROB_SELLING_RANDOM_PLAYER = 5
TRANSFER_MAX_TEAM_SIZE = 40
MAX_PER_TEAM_BUYS = 2
IDEAL_NUM_PLAYERS = 16
STAR_INTEREST_THRESHOLD = 50
PROB_BUYING_PLAYER = 50
BUYING_PLAYER_RATING_DIF = 10
PROB_BUY_FIRST_PLAYER = 50
GREAT_TEAM_RATING = 80
SMALL_TEAM_THRESHOLD = 21
SMALL_TEAM_SIGNING_CHANCE = 1
SIGNING_CHANCE = 10
PROB_CPU_APPROACH = 5
FOR_LOAN_DIVIDER = 2
BID_VARIATION_DIVIDER_LISTED = 39
BID_VARIATION_DIVIDER_POACHED = 20
WAGE_OFFER_DIVIDER = 15
PROB_SELL_TO_OWN_LEAGUE = 5
MAX_PLAYERS = 40
PROB_LEAVE_CURRENT_COUNTRY = 10
PROB_PLAYER_STAYING_LOCAL = 5
BONUS_MULTIPLIER = 20
CHANCE_OF_BOSMAN = 3

PLAYER_STAR_PRESTIGE_THRESHOLD = 7

I would leave PROB_PLAYER_STAYING_LOCAL = 5 and PROB_LEAVE_CURRENT_COUNTRY = 10 at 50 each. If you are looking to buy someone out of country, then set the prob leave high and the prob stay low. I usually just throw as much money as i can at the player I want, but thats just me

Hope that helps some

Comma, Thanks for the help.

But does anyone have the definition of all of the settings that I have shown. I have tried playing with some of the settings, but it is very difficult to figure out what they all mean.

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Yes, the FIFA 06 programming team. The rest of us get by on guesswork and experimentation, as you will too. The problem you have is that the area you are trying to play with is not one where it is easy to divine concrete results from any changes (unlike, say, fiddling with the ball physics). Of course, the obvious response would be 'why bother'?? If you want a bunch of players on your career team, then use the existing features of the game to put them there before you start (and hope that you can balance the books, since I assume that it is the better players you are after). Otherwise live with the vagaries of the existing system, which is hardly a simple and regimented one in real life.

I have tried playing with some of the settings, but it is very difficult to figure out what they all mean

Based on my own investigations (which are purely related to reading and interpreting career/tournament data rather than changing anything) I can tell you that I believe the following are nothing to do with player transfer:

BASE_REBIRTH_AGE
RENEWAL_MULTIPLIER
PROB_OF_REBIRTH

Outside of those I don't see anything obvious that would make it easier for the player to make transfers and harder for the CPU, but if one of your targets is to limit player movement then I'd play with:

MAX_PER_TEAM_SALES
MAX_PER_TEAM_BUYS
PROB_SELLING_RANDOM_PLAYER
PROB_SELL_BEST_WORST
