Byronic
Premier League
I really wanted to see if this game is salvageable before putting any time into modding it properly. Creating tooling for it has been a pain.
I think after an hour or so of digging, this is my early thoughts;
"Authentic mode" is a complete sham. What you have is the same as Competitive, plus some very small changes, like line gaps and small changes to physics here and there. Otherwise EA are fully reliant on sliders (again) to do all of the work, and they don't work lol
I switched back to "Competitive Mode" and started modding from there and was instantly getting better results. And to highlight, EA can do this, but for some reason, havent!
In my quick video of a 1st half below, you can see its fairly easy to get some of the major problems with the game fixed fairly easily:
- Animations smoothed and more planted (apart from the odd occurance)
- Pass accuracy is no longer 99% and players can quite easily make mistakes or it can go slightly wayward, not like a laser
- Physicality is back in the midfield (but not fixed entirely, especially the possession tackles, which EA should remove from the game)
- First touch actually matters and players can make mistakes
- Players are not complete gods of understanding where everything is, so nothing is immediate or "1 frame"
It just really annoys me that EA haven't gone anywhere close to this themselves. They added the entire authentic system and then just didnt bother. I dont get it.
Paul, many of us see and plays the same the last days. I just hope you get into till the journey ends again next september and keep what you have doing since when?? 2011 I guess. To fix the gameplay and now helping to mod it since years with your tool. It´s great to let us know what currently is the state by trying to mod this new Game... again... I can´t imagine how much brain cells it burns for you when I am reading your posts on your discord channel. Other than obviously FIFER. I just read today he avoids Members of his channel to give an "first" update how FET are going into a moding tool this year. So it seems pretty bad ass this fc season like you already stated. I can live a year without modding fc 26 which I haven´t bought currently. I have 5 hours left on my 10h trial and today I use some of them to test some things like texture replacing with FMT, though.
Just wanna say, hope you are still get the fire power to fix EA´s misses with your tool and your GP Mod. If not the world circles further.
