NEW! Biggy's Gameplay Update For FIFA 06 V.2 !

[nickclubman]

I see what you mean KULCAT, but actually I've scored a couple of goals from a diagonal angle! I also believe that other members have experienced diagonal shots that scored, just like our friend exerslow. If you go to page 1 of this topic you'll find a post by exerslow with some replays of goals done by him, one of the replays have a diagonal goal.

Anyways, I'll be working on this issue as much as I can, I'll try my best! For now, I hope that you'll enjoy the other features of the update.

Indeed, it is possible to score diagonal! I'm still enjoying this update bud, plays very well.

My latest update is going to be released very very soon! I'll let ya'll know when it's out.

NK.

I have played several more games and have found this gameplay to be very good indeed.

I played England V Brazil. For stretch during the latter first half Brazil was really pressing me, bzzing around my penalty area, especially Ze Roberto, who thread in 5 or 6 crosses in a short span of time, one of them thumped home by Edmilson and Brazil led 1-0.

I altered my tactics inj the second half and on 82 minuted, substitute Joe Cole headed home off a corner to equalize. Then just two minutes later Joe Cole knifed along the touchline and cetred for Rooney to head home over Cafu. I hedl the rest of the way for a 2-1 victory over the defending world champs.

I'm really likeingbthe pace of the play and the fact that you can spend more time on the ball, allowing for individuals to utilize their inherent skill, while still having the defence really sound. I have not scored more than 3 goals in a match (I won 3-0 with England over Libya) and compare that to default WC when I once scored 11 on Blackburn. Haha!

Minor tweaks here and there as Isaid before on the CPU attacking and I think you've got a masterpiece.

One more thing, and I'm not real sure this is alter-able, but I really hate when the CPU players, especially defenders, dink around with the ball, especially near their own box.
Not sure if you can do anything about that. It provides me with some cheap opportunities a little too often.

Cheers,
Dave

I'll try my best to fix all the problems mentioned at this post, I'm actually writing down a list of every single thing that needs to be changed.

The same thing with me, I use to score 6 or sometimes 7 goals in a match with the original fifa 06 files, but now my most was 2 goals a match (so you beat me, haha).

I've worked a lot in making the CPU hold the ball longer just to make it feal real, because in real life matches a player needs some time to think where to shoot the ball, so is in my latest update.

Enjoy the glory of football!

My oh my what a game!!

Well, just played 4 more matches... I set up a small tournament consisting of England and the five other WC Qualifying teams in their region. Wales, Austria, Poland, etc. etc.

I had played the first half of the matches last night and had suffered nary a loss, but one draw. All the games were good save the game against Libya (who I substituted for Azjerbaijan or whatever since that team is not in my game) which as previously reprted was an easy 3-0 (should've been 5 or 6 I had thought the way I dominated..missed a few easy chances)

Anyway, I drew the first two games of the second legs 0-0, and 0-0 against AUstria and Poland respectively. Lively games but some great goalkeeping both ways prevented any scoring. With Poland hot on my heels in the group I next faced N.Ireland, who I had previously beaten 2-0 in the first leg. This match was one of the best to date that I've had.

I started strong with good pressure after revamping my England lineup. With no goals in the previous two matches I started Peter Crouch up front with Jermain Defoe, Owen has been dismal and was dropped, Rooney started on the bench, Owen Hargreaves first start at CDM of the turnament was the other notable change.

N.Ireland almost smoked one in midway through the first half when a quick one two hit a man open from a good distance outside the box, he one-timed and it skipped by Robinson, who was saved by the post and John Terry's clearing.

Then Crouch and Defoe got to work with some give and go's, involving Lampard as well. Wrights-Phillips skipped past a defender near half and punched it ahead to Crouch, who held the ball up and then tried a long through ball that looked hopeless at first but somehow skipped though to Jermain Defoe who was closely marked as he sped into the box. While running disagonally Defoe tried to smash one back against the grain under the defenders heavy duress but instead was dragged down for a penalty!

Frank Lampard calmly slotted home Englands first goal in three matches. In full control it looked like England would double their lead but Crouch's header cracked off the woodwork a minute or so later.

N.Ireland then responded just before the half with a superb maneuver that saw a forward free in the box...his blast was blocked by Robinsons fingertips but it sprung into the air between Terry and Ferdinand and was surprisingly headed home by a lurking Healy, as Robinson was still on the deck from the first blast.

With the score equalized the second half was a tight affair with few chances either way. As England substitutes Wayne Rooney and David Beckham warmed up to come on, it was Crouch and Defoe at it again. Some short passing finally found Crouch on the edge of the box and he skipped in then tried a quick cross, hoping to square it for Defoe at the far post when the N.Ireland keeper pounced and punched the ball back out desperately...what happened next was pure magic....INSERT ATTACHED REPLAY

Oh my god, what an amazing goal!!!! Seriously "WOOOOOW".

Man, just like a real game, my god... the keeper thought that he made a great thing by clearing the ball, and then comes Gerrard and kicks the ball right into the net, what a goal!

This goal kind of remind me of the goal Rivaldo had in a match with Mexico, he received the ball, and gave it a little hit then he jumped to give a side kick straight into goal while he was facing against the goal! he literally made the goalie a nothing, lol, just like in your replay.

in your replay, the poor goalie desperately jumped and couldn't even touch the ball.

Way to go exerslow. really nice stuff!

I've played a few (well, maybe just a bit more ) games and I think this version is a vast improvement over the last and I think it's now a way more enjoyable experience. The shooting meter now powers up faster giving you more of a chance to either blast it in the net or sending it to the stands. I like the crosses better as they do imitate real soccer now. Another thing I noticed is that, seriously all props to you man , the goalkeepers are almost perfect. Last version they came out way too damn much, but here they are top notch coming out only when needed and making a mistake every once in a while. GKs now save great shots but you can now score more frequent with a well place shot even if it's not blasted unlike other gameplay patches. Good job. The first game I played was in my career. I was playing against América as away and they scored first when one of their younger players volleyed it past Oswaldo (who with great performences is a 95) and scored a great goal which all I could was admire the sheer class. I ended up winning with my second goal being a shot outside the box that was not powerful but it was wellplaced. Great patch. The only negative I have with this patch is that once I went down to professional with 6 min halves (so I can play more games) there were a couple of games where there were 0 fouls. I heard about the FIFA fair-play award but this is just ridiculous. lol. Other than that I give you props Biggy, great patch. 9.6 out of 10!

 

[sa33ood]

Puma1, thank you so much for the great report.

It actually bothers me more that there are no much fouls in the game, as you said, fair play but not this much, lol, The problem is that there is no actual value strings or codes that have any relate to the frequency of fouls, I really don't have any idea what the EA sports team was thinking for not to have fouls at all, weired!

In my latest update, I've added more aggressiveness to the tackles, but again no serious strong tackles are committed during the match, so it's not helping a lot. (I've noticed that the CPU commits a couple of trys to tackle from the back when I'm attacking, especially at the last 15 minutes of any game, like if they are desperate or something)

But I still didn't lose hope and I think that something can be made, I'll try my best.

Have you tried NK's gameplay update? I think that he mentioned in his update review that more fouls are added, so maybe he actually had a solution, otherwise if not, then we all got to wait for the all mighty EA sports - Canada to work out this rediciolus mistake! haha!

 

[exerslow]

"otherwise if not, then we all got to wait for the all mighty EA sports - Canada to work out this rediciolus mistake! haha! "

Among other things!! Like those goalies that don't move when you're on their toes!!

[OckHAM]

There is no "fouls addiction" at all in the other gameplay, just because there isn't a parameter that can increase this.

 

[sa33ood]

Exactly OckHAM, this is the point where EA sports must do something about it.

By the way OckHAM, have you tried my latest gameplay update? I'd love it if you test it and give me a report on your opinion.

 

[OckHAM]

Not yet, I'm very busy with 0.12 release, I'll try your new release on the next break I'll have (today's break has been used testing new nk release). Keep it on anyway

 

[sa33ood]

Untill this point I think that everybody is satisfide by the Version 2 of my modification of the gameplay update, I've also noticed that there are 3 small tweaks that some of you would like to be fixed, after that I think we all can have one and almost perfect gameplay update.

Since these are small tweaks I'll try to resolve them by tomorrow and will be released in this post as v2.1;this will then give me the opportunity to start testing again for some new stuff to change and add to v3.0 of the modification.

Here are the collected seggutions to be tweaked in v2.1:

1. NK asked for a little bit lighter ball, which I think is true and well be done (don't worry it's a very small tweak, you'll not even feel the difference, it will make the game even better).
2. exerslow and puma1 asked for a little stronger attack, which also had been tweaked.
3. I'll also add a little bit more reaction for the keeper, only a little, you'll all hardly notice the difference but it dose effect positively in some situations.

Any other new seggutions or disagreements to the points above?

Cool man, should be great! I'm working on my latest update too v5.

I am still really impressed Biggy by version 2. Haven't had time to play any game today and I would agree with what I said previous in that I think the CPU attack needs tweaking, I also didn't seem to notice the keepers coming out as much, but perhaps that was just the situations I encountered, where I didn't thwart the defence so that the keeper had to come out. In the earlier version I think that the keepers came out fast and this made it startling and erally hard to score with both the keeper and defender rapidly closing out the shooter. With the ball physics I hadn't yet got used to chipping the keeper with the appropriate touch/power.

Did you re-tweak the keepers between v1 and v2 to arrest the keeper charges more or did I just not have any instances during my specific matches?

Dave
I have yet to try out NK's latest version but I did not like the speed of the last NK version with all the players turned down.....IMHO it was unrealistic.

Dave

 

[exerslow]

To add to that Steven Gerrard goal I scored and posted a page or so back, what was really cool was being shocked by the goal, relishing Gerrard with his signature celebration sliding on his stomach, AND, thanks to the efforts of Billy1969 and his sound packs, the crowd were singing "Ste-ven Gerr-ard" ahaha...it was great!

Yeah, I have sorted out the player speed situation in v5.

[exerslow]

Good...hope to have a go tommorrow perhaps.

[sa33ood]

From v1.0 to v2.0 I added more charging to the keeper, in other words the keeper will jump on the ball faster than before, which I believe that it must be tweaked a little bit more in order to have more chip shots.

I've also made the chip shots harder to commit, I didn't want to end a match with 3 goals done with chips shots! Right now, you can enjoy the keeper coming out more often but also feel the disappointment of missing when committing a chip shot, especially if the player is not a skilled one, and don't forget about the defence they'll always try not to let you do them chips, I've never in my entire life and logically have seen a player running so fast and then suddenly shooting a chipped ball which flies in a 70° angels, it's just not real, just like in the original files... so all in all, you got to work your butt off in order to score a goal, just like in real life games.

I'll also make the CPU attacks a little bit harder, making them too hard will ruin the feeling of surprise counter attacks and strong plays, if you know what I mean, guys.

About the sounds exerslow, I've added my self many sound packs that I made for many world known players, I actually create these sound with my voice, then I edit them in some Audio editing software to give them a feel of a 30,000 crowd shouting that name! so I see what you exactly felt, haha! I get that exact feeling when Ronaldinho commits a goal, it's simply wonderful!

Note: v2.1 will be released after 7 hours (or less) from now!

As said before, this small update is only for little tweaks that our members asked for. The modifications were made as a try to perfect this latest version of the gamplay update.

You'll find information about the tweaked values inside the installer.

Enjoy!

I've played a game lately with Brazil against Paraguay (CPU), Ronaldinho stole the ball from a player then passed it to Ronaldo in the middle of the pitch, See what did happen next when Ronaldo attacks (I beauty), haha...
