FIFA 16 Better Stamina Method/Mod

[EauRouge]

EA adjusts stamina of players according to match lenght. If we change values from game files, we can get better stamina conditions for players.

If you've got "cl.ini" file in game's main folder (Origin Games > FIFA 16), open it and add these strings then save it.

HALF_LENGTH=6
AI_SETTING_HALFLENGTH=6

(I prefer to play with 6 mins (half length). If you prefer to play with another value, you can change it as what you prefer.)

After open the game and adjust half length duration to 20 mins in match settings. (don't worry match's half length will not be 20 mins because you already gave commends when you added strings up there)

With this method, players will have 20 mins half length stamina for 6 mins half length. so it makes player's stamina better.

-------------
If you don't have "cl.ini" in game's folder. create a "cl.txt" file and paste these strings.

HALF_LENGTH=6
AI_SETTING_HALFLENGTH=6

save it and change its name as "cl.ini"

I'm surprised anyone could want more stamina in the game, players never get tired and barely need subbing off until the last 10 mins or so! Of course this is also the method to fix that by doing the opposite of what you do Sadly I think later Fifas stopped this trick from working to fix their broken stamina system

if you manage a low tier team in carrier mod, you need more stamina. I accept that 20 mins stamina for 6 mins lenght is too much, but 8 mins stamina for 6 mins lenght is really good and it fits.

I've been using this trick for 6 years with all fifa series (17-18-19-20-21-22) and EA even haven't fixed yet xD

I've been using this for years but for reducing stamina.

I have 12 minutes in cl.ini and select 10 minute matches in game. This means you need to make changes a bit sooner. Fifa also always annoyed me for not having a half length option in between 10 & 15 minutes. 12 minute halves is a sweet spot for me, so I kinda kill 2 birds with 1 stone with this trick, ha.

No idea if it works on recent games, as I just don't play any recent fifa, it's impossible to enjoy long halves with them when it's just end to end brainless nonsense.

Awesome! Probably, this way of managing stamina and fatigue is the reason why friendly matches feel better than playing a cup / league / career mode.

I only manage Sheffield Wednesday in career mode so yeah they're a low tier team currently and still find the players have way too much stamina

I know that this post is 3 years old now, so I might not get a response, but I'll still try.

How do you do this in fifa 17? I've tried adding
HALF_LENGTH=10
AI_SETTING_HALFLENGTH=10
to the locale.ini file, then changed the half length in the in-game settings to 4 minutes. This way -based on what you said- one half should be 10 minutes long, but with increased stamina drain, as the game was 4 minutes/half. But it doesn't work for me. The game will just be a normal 4 minute long game, like my edit to the locale.ini file is being overlooked.

Thank you in advance for your response!

probably there's something that be overlooked. can you check exact locale.ini file location or whether locale file is .ini or .txt?

i added string to notice match duration easily. can you drop that file into ...\FIFA 17\Data folder

 

[Lidlerman]

Honestly I'm not sure why it's necessary, but writing a "[]" line before the HALF_LENGTH... seemed to have fixed it. Thank you for your respone though! So the correct code is:

[]
HALF_LENGTH=10
AI_SETTING_HALFLENGTH=10

Do you know any other variables that can be changed in this locale.ini and would effect gameplay? The main problem I want to fix is that I feel like constantly pressing the AI is the optimal way to play, and it is too strong, allowing me to constinstently perform better than expected in career mode, which can become boring. What I've tried to achieve with this HALF_LENGTH stamina change, is to make stamina drain quicker, nerfing constant pressing, but this results in the AI also having less stamina. Would there be a way to only nerf the stamina of the team controlled by the player? or maybe some other gameplay tweak that nerfs pressing? for example if there was a way to make the AI keep possession better. I'm pretty sure that I've done what I could do with sliders in terms of turning up the difficulty, without the game feeling unfair.

The sliders I use are inspired by the OS community sliders

with some tweaks to favour the AI:

Sprint Speed: 47/53
Acceleration: 47/49 (Lower acceleration made stamina last longer, hence the MATCH_LENGTH alteration)
Shot Error: 51/50
Pass Error: 62/52
Shot Speed: 50/51
Pass Speed: 45/45
Injury Freq: 55/55
Injury Severity: 5/5
GK Ability: 50/50
Marking: 49/78
Run Freq: 1/5
Line Height: 60/68
Line Length: 50/40
Line Width: 54/45
FB Positioning: 60/100
FT Control Error: 65/64

I've also downloaded a mod, Advanced Gameplay Evolution 1.2
From what I can tell, this mod also changes the locale.ini file

Also, If anone's reading this article to learn about how to enchance their Fifa 17 career mode, I'll what I've found:

T9n90's reply to this post works. enables you to access the "Edit Player" button in Career mode

I'll also send a link to a cheat table that works: https://www.moddingway.com/file/221498.html
It only works for me, If I start the Cheat Table before launching Fifa, and not running the lua script when it asks. Otherwise it will crash.

you may try to change team tactiques from db editor and excel tables. probably all these are due to tactiques (defensive line, pressing etc)
