How about the patch?

[lukin]

What I'm really asking is, how much things the patch can/would change the game?
How fat can it change, say, animation (new moves, referee looking at watch etc.), gameplay ( AI (this one needs it badly), the control, dribbling ), misc.(more teams, more stadiums), or other things in the game?
If it can be done, I want it ALL! Though probably it would take ages to download them on my slowish 56k modem But that's k, just make sure it's on resumable server,

Oh yeah, I found positive bug. I let the game run demo, and the camera view is in lower position rather than the normal high position. And when I play friendly match, the camera stays that way! It's really cool, pretty much like ISS camera. But when I start a new season, the camera goes back to normal. Do I miss something? Can I change the vertical postion of the camera? (I know about the zooming options)..

TIA,
Lukin

Hi,
We are woring on a patch now, primarily for bug fixes, if you could send me a list of the most important things you want in order of importance, that would be top

- we are trying to keep the size of the patch to a minimum though naturally.
Should be avaliable next week sometime so we have a few days for feedback etc.
Cheers,
Ste ( Pc Lead Programmer )

WOW, another person from the dev team ! THIS is dreamlike
Here's a few list of things,
Bug:
- On penalty kicks, sometimes the ball move by its own, usually when there's no whistle, this occoured.
- Sometimes the ball just hangs on the air when out of play
- Keeper/players move through the net
- The awkward head movement when moving

Gameplay:
- Give more controls to the player, sometimes you get the feeling not totally in control in moving the players, pasing the ball, etc..
- The AI, player stood still when their team under attack, no one approach the ball even its 1 feet from them, when the keeper saves but the ball is loose, no one approach the ball, etc...
- Player movement, maybe a more like ISS (8 direction movement)
- Stealing the ball from behind is way too easy, still feels like FIFA, again, I prefer ISS Style.
- The passing should be more user-controlled rather than scripted, maybe a pass power bar?
- Loose the 360 degrees movement, change it with something more real.
- Hate to admit it but I miss first time pass like in Fifa when double tap the pass key.
- Awkward player change key, why not the usual pass key?
- Reaction lag, reminds me of Fifa 2001.

Well, that's all for now, thanks again for actually listening to us ! (unlike that other footie game)

Nice list there lukin. ok then heres a few things that i have found to be niggly.
1:> The keeper, seems to win\pickup every 50-50 ground ball, this isn't quite realistic.
2:> The throwin\touchline bug is a real nuisance.
3:> More instant reaction in regard to player select, sometimes this prompt lags
when you are trying to select a defender to do battle with a running attacker.
4:>The tv cam\end to end views would be better if they had a tad more distance
'out' hooked into them..like in the end to end replay cam, that one is almost on
the roof of the stand and gives the pitch far more coverage and adds more realism to the action.
5:> The gaol allowed after a shot connects with a post needs attending to, along
with the ball stopping and hanging in the air after a shot goes over the xbar..
6:>Is it possible to add a save replay feature in any future patch.
7:> The keepers often pull off brilliant saves, and then at times they miss the
simplest of pickups, or completely ignore the ball and seem to loose all coordination.
8:> The blimp cam is a nice feature, but do players actually use this option. 'ala the Kick Off series',
and do you think that it could be a smidge dated now..?
9:> This game is almost on the verge of being the best pc football game to date,
and with a bit of 'nipping and tucking' it will be the best, especially with the current
features that are in there now. .. thanks again lads Ned

Is there any way to play with that low camera lukin was talking about in the competitions???
The game plays and looks much better from that camera position.
