The process to get this gameplay to where we would like it takes to long because no one wants to share. I have the utmost respect for NK and the testers, but with one person doing all of the work and not willing to share info and insight we'll be at FIFA 09 (maybe) before this gameplay gets to the point where we like it.
This is the only community/forum/game that I've ever been a part of where the people that make patches/stadiums/faces whatever get this God like complex and feel that if anyone uses their work they should be sued for stealing intellectual property.
The best communities are the ones where EVERYONE does the work. Just take a look at the PES community. If you can't find a patch or option file that works for you it's your own problem. Everyone is making updates.
I'd like to see something similar with these gameplay updates. If everyone can do some sort of tweaking we'd be alot further along. Right now, we get the update and wait a few weeks for the next one.
This is NOT stealing folks. NK deserves ALL of the credit for putting these updates together. Without his work I wouldn't have played the last three editions of FIFA with EA's horrid default gameplay. If you take his work and try to pawn it off as your own that's your problem.
With all that being said, and NK in Greece for 3 months, I think we should take it upon ourselves to use FileMaster and edit some of the values in the ini file. I started tweaking it last night and the gameplay is now much better for me. I'm still not sure what alot of the variables actually do, but, this is where the community can help, I think we can figure this out together and create an update that is stellar.
The more people that work with the different variables, the better chance we'll have at getting the gameplay where we want it.
Some of the issues that need to be fixed with WEII:
Wide open wing play--Too easy to get down the wings.
Midfield is wide open as well-The back lines almost need to be moved forward. Too much free space to run.
Shooting-Way too accurate IMO.
Ball Physics-I'd like to see the ball bounce higher.
Trapping-Too easy to trap balls right now. I think if the ball bounced higher it would solve this problem.
Time release to shoot- The CPU crossing and header shots are just ridiculous. I'm tired of seeing the CPU score on low headers from the top of the 18yd. box. The shooting is like a one timer in hockey. Way too fast.
Perfect CPU play- I've adjusted CPU Bad Passing and Bad Markball rate from 0 to 3. The CPU should not be perfect.
Goalies-I changed both CPU and Human Goalies to 162
Fouls-I'd like to see more fouls in the game.
That's a start. I'm curious to hear everyone's feedback. Let's get this game playing like we want it to play.
Speed-I slowed the speed of the game down to 5
