Historic World Cups

Yeah sorry for the inconvenience, spambots we're working on it

Wasn't trying to direct that at you or the mods. You guys are quick to respond to them. Just venting a general frustration!

More on topic:

World Cup 1970

 

[mrliioadin]

I started working on the 1974 edition but only have about 8 teams done. There was a massive jump from around 70 to around 99 teams from '70 to '74 as many new asian teams entered. Also, the wave of African revolutions gradually inflated the number of overall teams year after year especially in this era.

Fun teams to make but there are a lot of them.

Anyway, with the semester picking up, I think I'm going to have to shelve it for a while. I'll try to work on a few here and there but '74 might take me some time... Sorry guys.

Don't worry man.
I congratulate you for your big effort EVEN in the FIFA 11 peak moment, like me (the difference is that I haven't published my "patch" yet).



CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!

1970 World Cup didnt work in CM, just like 1966. All the other world cups load perfectly.

 

[mrliioadin]

That's weird. As soon as I get a chance, I'll try to recompile it.

World Cup 1970

sorry, it still doesnt work. when I load the patches in CM a window appears saying error: 5043. I press Ok and then it appears 10 more times.

after that the patch appears but when I try to import a player or a team I get the message:

"Unhandled exception has occured in your application......
Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

 

[mrliioadin]

I'll have to check if the patches work on another computer. Although both of mine are tied up with editing at the moment. I'm not sure why only those patches are acting up.

 

[mrliioadin]

First, I have been unable to get a fresh install of FIFA to test old patches. This has been incredibly frustrating but I'll try to sort something else out soon.

Next, I am trying to learn more about teams abilities. Some patch makers focus on graphics or other aspects of a patch as they create it. I really try to spend my time worrying about differences in ability and the individual players' ability levels. To that end, I want to ask some questions of your perceptions of a few different aspects of player abilities and team strengths, etc. I'm hoping this will help me to make better, more historically accurate teams.

There are certain players in history that are just simply some of the best this game has ever seen. Platini, Pele, Maradona, Beckenbauer, etc. I put these players in the "Elite" category. What would you say the minimum overall value for an Elite player should be? I know this differs a bit depending on who you or I would include, but if you had to put a number on it, what would you pick?

I'm trying to find a value as a cutoff point for run of the mill players. These are players who may have been pretty good in their day, but aren't Elite and probably aren't real stars. What value starts to feel a little too high for players like this? This issue comes up when I have a very good team but certain starters on the team probably weren't phenoms.

In your experience, how much of a difference has the "team chemistry" value actually effected the ability of the team in the game?

Anyway, if you have any thoughts, please share. I'm just trying to do better.

I think 89 is the minimum.
