NK FOOTBALL © World Evolution 3 - Exclusive SoccerGaming release!

[NK FOOTBALL ©]

that would be great NK FOOTBALL ©! when do u expected that WE4 will be released? just cant wait to show it off to all my pes friend.. actually they are now a little impressed to see ur WE3. anyway good luck! :sun:

You'll be playing WE4 in a week. That's my guess, but nothing is confirmed as of yet.

Ok, this is great news. Just played a quick 8 minute match and lost 2-0 (I was Portual vs CPU England). Well get this, 44 mins into game and the cpu make a SUB! They take off Neville for Carragher, Andy Gray actually commented that there was no way the player was injured and that this was purely a tactical decision by the manager.

I can only put this down to the increased speed of WE4 tactics. They change tactics more often. You'll notice the CPU defends and attacks differently. Sometimes you will attack and have 1 man on you with another man behind him backing the play. And other times you'll attack and see 6 defenders in the box giving you no chance whatsoever! But what is great is that it works both ways. My players' are also better at defending so the games can last longer, hence the 20 minute games.

Also, a request which is certainly in there now is the Goalkeeper 'stun' goal where you can score and the GK just stands there. Anyone who has watched the Italy vs Brazil game will see this from the Italian Volley in which my GK Dida just gets stunned by the speed of the shot. This is also down to the delay factors of skill and goalkeeper tuning. It has made the strategic side of EA's game open up more! Which is fabtastic.

Amazing NK, it looks as though you have simulated the game to highest possible degree! thank you so much for your hard work.

 

[NK FOOTBALL ©]

You are most welcome.

The gameplay certainly is much more simulation now.

Warning though, those not used to the likes of the World Evolution updates may find the shot mechanic too difficult. But it's just a learning curve as proven over the past updates I have released. WE3 shot mechanic is harder than X-R, and at first everyone said X-R was too challenging. This is point proven for the mechanic and learning curve. So, once it is out you may get frustrated, but keep at it cause (like me) you'll be putting them away.

hi NK FOOTBALL ©! just want to know more about ur great coming WE4 actually.. when a player touches the moving ball it bounces too high i think.. can u set it to be lower from the ground? i've heard that u've just tuned up the gravity to pull down the ball quicker. that would be a really great modification because it looks weird when c. ronaldo toches the ball bounces too high like that n the ball takes time to reach the ground back.. hope u'll understand what i mean :sun:

I was going to record (well i was recording, but have now deleted!) my Brazil national team 'NK cup' custom tourni for you guys. However, I couldn't get past the first nation Belgium They kept getting me on penalties as the match wasn't long enough in 8 minutes to score a goal. Although I created chances, I didn't convert and neither did they, although they had a sitter which hit the post and I missed with Adriano on 90 mins where I just skimmed the cross-bar.

I'm gutted, I wanted to show you guys me winning this made-up trophy, but no.

Ah-well, maybe I should stick it on Semi-Pro, but either way it's totally challenging. I could get to the Semi's in WE3.

Can´t wait for your new gameplay.
It sounds fantastic.

What the match duration you will recomend for WE4?
I normally play 6 min games but i think i will have to play bigger games.

I would certainly say 8 min halfs minimum, or you may get frustrated drawing 0-0 often. I am currently however still tuning the shot mechanic and cpu defence. I just played a 20 min game as England against Brazil and lost 7-0! I had tuned the defence very well. I had 15 shots 1 on. They had 23 shots, 14 on and 7 went past the keeper.

What I could do here is tune the shooting more so, or I could tune my goalkeeper to be more able saving shots. I will however still tune the cpu defence to make it even harder to break.

I might have to move down to professional level. I am making world class much harder and the 20 minute battle is ending 5-0 to the cpu!!

I haven't even tried legendary. I know what it comes down to on both these levels;

Manager skills. If you get man-marking setup right, tactics, formations...then I have noticed it much more effective now then ever before. However, the cpu will push more and change tactics to adapt quicker. EA got this right, but I have increased it and made it noticeable more often. So it's tricky to keep the game in your favour if the cpu switches it up and plays your game!

I am making professional level the easier option. In fact I may even move pro to Semi-pro and world class to Pro, then legendary to world class, then make a new legendary. Sound good? Of course some things would change here and there, but the core difficulty would be far greater. Good idea?

edit: in fact after looking through the cpu, it would be a lot of messing about. Instead, I can simply increase key values and copy them into certain difficulties to reflect more on what makes the higher levels so much tougher.


Ciao:corn:

Wow! it sounds great NK!
Can't wait to play WE4. Your work is just incredible and fifa07 gp now is totally re-vamped. I can't remember how it was to play with the EA default gp :mexican:. Anyone does?
Do you still maintain the graphic enhancement you mentioned earlier? I'm using deftonesmx17 tunings now and I've to say it's really great. If you do maintain it I hope you'll push the limit further.
Don't make us wait too long mate! Thanx a lot!

It will be the best guys and here's why.

Cause I start at the base, I don't download others update's and leach off them, hell I don't even look at any other's work for idea's. I pride myself creating a fresh new gameplay design. The hard work put in, gets the results.

Most updates out there today are full of junk, using variable after variable of (polite word) rubbish that past FIFA games used and for some reason these kids think it works now. If it did, it'd be in the fifa07.exe

Let me tell you guys how it's playing. Right now it's a challenge! The shot mechanic is getting fine tuned to make sure it's diverse. You have a great chance of hitting the target when composed and quite a high chance of missing when sprinting. Under-pressure is also a big knock for shot accuracy and trying too much. So you'll know why you missed. In some cases, like in real life, you'll just get unlucky. But that's football. .e.g Hit the post, just miss.

CPU defence is the best you're going to get out there. Especially to withstand a 20 minute game. The shot mechanic isn't the only variable keeping it going for that long. Everything works as a unit to support the flow of play. There's more going on in the 20 minutes you play then I've seen in 4-5 8 minute games in WE3.

WE4 will be the best and most realistic Simulation gameplay update available. And especially the most challenging!

You will feel the CPU pressure. And again, the cpu tactics are showing. Just started a 2nd half 20 minute game and Andy commented how the manager had stepped up the defence and how they were defending much better now because of the tactical change (CPU). All these commentary strings on tactics I hadn't heard before. It's like WE4 opens another area of playability and it's great to hear something new.

The graphics tweak will remain in there. You'll see exactly what I mean. e.g. Free-kicks. Look at the players' in the wall...you can't really make them out. But now, you can see clearly the individual faces. Realistically this will be tuned. As of right now it's the most sharp I can get it. But in some cases it is too sharp and looks a bit odd e.g. The blur FX on camera focus.

Soon my friend, soon. It won't be long now. Everything is coming together and I am working on getting it as tuned as I can without keeping you guys waiting too long.

It is best NK takes his time, WE4 sounds to be the climax of what is achievable with the FIFA 07 engine, and personally I want the update to be as fine tuned as possible.

 

[NK FOOTBALL ©]

one thing i know many also want and what should be obvious in the video's I have released of WE4 is that the skill moves are far more effective now. I have had the CPU do the Rabana against me! I've had the cpu do fake passe's and shots. It doesn't happen all the time, and is certainly programmed in their by EA, but I've increased it through the tuning of the update. So yes, more flare! but what the cpu does most of the time is pace-control. That alone can confuse your defenders.

It's shaping up real well. Just tuning the ball physics and shot mechanic (both have to blend well) and the cpu tweaks here and there as the cpu is pretty much done all I'm doing now is getting that little bit more out of it.

[elhelmiey]

yeah you're right man! absolutely that's one of the most important part of fifa07 that should be tuned up. the fifa07 game engine is really the best among others but it is just not well-fully-utilize which results as an arcade-played-game.. i believe that u r the right man to tuned up the game engine to its max capability good luck! :mexican:

 

[NK FOOTBALL ©]

You kiddin me? I've been doing this since FIFA 2001, of course i'm the right man!

lol

Thanks buddy appreciate the support.

You should be very happy with WE4 it feels quite unique! Everything is balanced now, all it needs is some tuning and I personally believe it'll be the most challenging and realistic, far more so than WE3.

Of course there's always the realism factor for good, strong teams vs weaker ones. You'll be happy to know this issue of 'bad teams beating Barcelona easily' or you playing as Barcelona having trouble getting past 2 defenders with Ronaldinho, is now a thing of the past. I actually have a replay off my girlfriends laptop (hence I can't access it at this point) of me against Boca Jr's controlling Ronaldinho from just over my half and I take on the whole defence and juuuuust miss the post as I finesse it to the bottom left of the keeper, that of which he was totally beaten. I was most unlucky! but this proves something that was impossible to do in WE3. Progress as always is made. Obviously, the original EA gameplay has a certain skill factor delay, but I am truly going towards the much more natural approach of user V CPU delays where it is noticable that both teams can be beaten. Unlike in the original EA gameplay, I CONSTANTLY felt like I was going to thrash the cpu, and I did! This, is a thing of the past. Although you can totally beat teams now and then, of course! That's football for ya.

My friends, this is a Simulation update. No more 4 minute matches.
