[REQUEST] Realistic Transfers

[Tslion]

Hi all,

I'd like to know if someone can make something to get more realistic transfer moves in career mod, because it is everything but unreal !
You know what I am talking about yeah ? Exemples in the first transfer window :

- Nathaniel Clyne (Liverpool) -> (Borrussia Monchengladbach)
- Lucas Ocampos (Marseille) -> (Palmeiras)
- Kahraba (Al Ittihad) -> (Boca Juniors)
...

If I'm not wrong, it was something like that last year (Aranaktu's table ?), but I don't remember.

In mine Tottenham sold both Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen in the first window, would be good if we can tweak it so that players say >82 have only a tiny chance of moving from a CPU to CPU team, like say 5-10% chance maximum?

Yeah these type of stupid unrealistic transfers.
Just saw in mine that Pedro has join Fenerbahçe 23 200 000 €... WTF !!

5-10% is a good idea !

The way that EA has programmed the transfer AI is a bit dumb. If I recall correctly it has less to do with player OVR, and more to do with the prestige of the league/nation. The way the AI is sees it, is that Liverpool and Borrussia Monchengladbach have the "same level of prestige" and it is therefor 100% likely that a player will accept transfers in either direction. Even if a team clearly isn't at the same level in real life - as long as it is playing in a league with high prestige; the transfer becomes more likely to be accepted.

Anyway, it is possible to alter these transfers to a certain degree by editing some .ini files (or at least that's how it was done in the past Fifa 14,15, and 16).
Check out Aranaktu's Tools thread for more help on editing .ini files.

There are various entries in the ini files about the likelihood of certain players going to certain countries, British players should be changed to a very, very low chance of moving outside the UK as it would reflect reality as well as lower these annoying transfers (hopefully).

EA uses a weird technique that "matches" players to teams together with a random algorithm that changes how much it cares about its modifiers. this random part is the X Y in the transfers.ini. So, it never thinks about how much it needs a player for a position and selling clubs dont have any input unless its a human approach for the player.

These from Transfer.ini should help with England/UK to EU/ROW transfers in theory?

True that this "should" have some effect... in theory... But I've tried to edit these values before and they had no effect in-game whatsoever.

I've been wanting to edit this ever since Fifa 14, because if I manage a club in for example Sweden, I get tons of loan offers from abroad. But if I manage a club in England, almost no loan offers come from overseas.

We are going to wait for Frosty to be release to try and fix all this. I managed to stop it in FIFA 16. The cheat engine method just doesnt work for these files.

It's definitely working for some of the entries in some of the files, easy test for me was changing deadline day to 24 hours instead of 10 for example.

It works for settings that are not string or integer indexed. So the settings we are discussing above will not change using Cheat Engine.

I think the best solution is to have a tool that lets us edit the career mode database, so we can return unrealistic transfers. We'd just go trough the transfer window as always, and when it's over we open the tool, get Coleman back from Bayern to Everton, Baines from Dortmund to Everton, and all the other stupid transfers the game makes. I would love this.
