The difference between 3.0 and 3.1 is just a tiny, tiny change to lob passing error.
but I'm enjoying the challenge and I'm really happy with the progress now.
have you touched the fouls ?Update: It's been an absolute nightmare to try and balance everything guys but I'm slowly getting there. I can't even begin to explain how frustrating it is to deal with speed/acceleration and the other issues that come with it! I had to re-balance it again today, but it's in a much better place now than before.
I've also fixed a lot of the silly passing errors. There will still be directional errors, but far less scuffs etc for no reason (especially at the higher end of teams). This really improves the flow when playing. This applies to long and short passes.
I've toned down how far the ball goes in front of you when sprinting (especially with very good dribblers in tight spaces), while still keeping the idea in place.
I'm trying guys, but just remember, it's never going to be perfect for everyone and there's elements that exist in this game that make it a real battle to try and smooth out certain issues. Getting the proper balance between bad, good and then elite players - but still keeping them all human is no picnic
24 hours ago it wasn't looking likely, but I think a release of 4.0 this week could still happen!
Next up I'm working on refining physicality.
I haven’t touched fouls exactly, but they’re impacted by the physicality, which I’ve worked on refining in this version.
Sorry if it was asked before, but are you working also on more crosses and more shots from out of the box from CPU?
Best answer I can give is, kind of haha.
@Rbn I don’t mean to sound evasive by the way, it’s just a difficult one to answer. I have looked at them and made tweaks which have helped somewhat, but sometimes other little tweaks on top of that actually bring out the changes more, but they need discovering over time if that makes sense.
Hey man I know exactly what you meant. I know there are many things to explore. The reason why I asked is because I came late to modded FIFA 23 and didn´t knew if it was already looked at, also I found that to be so frustrating. I know you will get there sooner or later.
Pros:
- Defending elite dribblers is now hard and requires proper positioning over mindlessly tackling to win the ball.
- CPU doesn't want to give up the ball that easily.
- Perfect balance of speed between fast and slow players.
- Bad defenders can mistime tackles leading to fouls.
- Closing down rate by the CPU has improved.
- Agility and movement/turning animation is extremely smooth. Reminds me of FIFA 16.
- Good amount of lobbed through pass by the CPU depending on the team.
- Lots of random stumbling animation especially when players lose balance adds a nice touch and risk to the game.
- Lots more movement around the field. Players are less staticy.
- Good positioning and covering spaces by the defenders and the midfielders. Realistic amount of track-back depending on the player and team.
- Very good attacking positioning by elite attackers. They are constantly trying to find space.
- Perfect first touch error based on the player's speed during touch(if they are sprinting) and the ball control stat(?)
- Good amount of shot error and shot variation. Some with lots of power, some with not a lot of power, mishits, etc.
- Great amount of physicality and strength showcased all around the pitch.
- CPU now efficiently blocks passing lanes forcing you to pass sideways or back.
- CPU slide tackles more especially to win the ball.
- Good amount of interception based on player's attributes.
- Lob passes have excellent ball physics.
- Dribbling is perfect. Not too overpowered, not too underpowered. You cannot dribble through an entire team but you can dribble enough to get space for a shot or for a teammate. You also don't need to use skill moves to beat players.
- The game is much more challenging now. The CPU doesn't want to give up easily.
- Crossing feels good. Not too woobly and not too flat.
- Nice amount of fouls. I average around 12-13 fouls in total per match in 6 mins halves.
- I am just having too much fun with this new gameplay.
Cons:
- Sometimes it's easy to outposess any teams.
- CPU with long balls doesn't play any lob passes.
- A little too much ground pass error by top passers that are CPU Controlled. For bad passer, it's a little bit too easy to pass.
- Driven ground pass is a little bit too accurate for players that have bad short pass stat of 50s.
- Bad goalkeepers are way too good.
- My work performance will be lowered now due to the amount of fun I am having with this new gameplay already.
You only have to use one file, depending on which modding tool you play with. Most common is Mod Manager, which you need the .fifamod file for. From Mod Manager, you apply it to your game.
Good to have you back in FIFA 23 Pap
Thanks so much everyone for the feedback! I'm really happy that you're enjoying the gameplay and are seeing the benefits that I've tried to bring in. It's great having like minded people in here to get excellent feedback from. Special thanks to @Topaz for helping me with analysis behind the scenes and for seeing a lot of what needed work - especially regarding the speed of players.
Agree! Let's see how long we can keep him away from his home in FIFA 16 haha!Good to have you back in FIFA 23 Pap
Good to have you back in FIFA 23 Pap
That's proper progress as far as I'm concerned Pap haha. I was the same as you for months, couldn't touch it. I'm very much enjoying it now. NEVER expected to say that on release day!
