Hey! I'd like to give some feedback and also wanted some suggestions. First of all, thank you for the incredible mod! It makes this game actually enjoyable. I really like the Natural X standalones, and have been trying them out in the Brazilian first division league via FCM mod. Players OVR vary approximately between high 60s-low 80s with a few outliers. Anyway, started building with Natural X+, my intention was to make the manager career mode with Santos as close to real football as possible, playing 7-9min halves. I've ended up with a good setup, but with a few problems: AI attacking was horrible, even the top teams weren't creating any chances in Legendary difficulty. Went back to reading the PDFs some more and found out that this was normal in slower standalones. Tried out the PDF suggestions: a more aggressive attack base, attacking boost options, more space options, and after opening up space it actually became easier to score, but AI wasn't menacing yet. So I went to Natural X standalone, and I'm still looking for the perfect balance for me. After scoring 5-1 against Flamengo, I've found out that the ingame simulation sliders could help me, because in the next match I messed with the sliders and almost got eliminated from Copa do Brasil against a second divison team, called Paysandu. After reducing CPU pass and shooting error, they suddenly became unstoppable (maybe match scripting helped AI out because it was the second leg). Decreased a little bit of the CPU pass and shooting error back and got a more balanced match against Vitoria, but felt like the CPU was still missing some attacking edge. I don't know if I should use attribute curve option to raise players ability or something like that, and I also don't know if I should be messing with the sliders but it might be the final step trying to solve the AI attack problem. Maybe i'll sprinkle in some defense difficulty as well because i haven't lost or tied a single match in the league yet. This is my current setup, really spent some time trying to fine tune my experience.
PS: Since you've asked in the Readme.txt: Injuries Option ends up making injuries happen too often! almost 1 serious injury per game, would be great if the frequency of simple injuries was reduced a little and serious injuries happened more rarely. Reduced them via sliders as well
Oh and by the way, CPU Sliders are in Tactical mode
