Pap's modding mess (house of placebo?)

I guess I am starting another loop. This time it won't go any further than FIFA17.

Here is a link toward the 1.2 exe of FIFA14 (digital signature from 11/28/13):
https://www.mediafire.com/file/9a19w43hhgjj9oz/fifa14.exe/file

Install:
- Back up your current fifa14.exe
- Copy paste with replace inside the FIFA14/Game folder the provided exe.
- Done!

Note that it is not a crack. You must own the game to be able to launch the game with this exe.

Why am I sharing it? The gameplay has more weight and inertia with it. I really prefer it over the 1.7 version (up to date).

@papinho81

could you, please, make another gameplay mod for fifa 14 which is not based on .exe file? i mean something similar like fifa 16 gameplay mod.
thanks.
 
Bumping up this thread as FIFA 17 is probably one of the best FIFA out there, but I am still having the same issue as always, defenders just don't defend specially when talking about tracking marks back. I've tried everything. Even asking AI if it could give some possible lanes that could solve this, and nothing seems to have effect.

Has anyone found a way so that defenders track marks back in the area (specially in counters)? It is still the thing to improve in FIFA 17, and I'd say, in every FIFA. I swear to god that defensive lane is SO SO BAD. They don't do off-side, don't track back in the area... Seriously is completely fucked up.
 
My locale.ini file doesn’t seem to have this problem

Will share it with you
I have a whole locale.ini heavily tweaked adding values of other locale.ini, even with AI, values I made myself...

Don't get me wrong, maybe you touched something I didn't, but I play in slow speed for the sake of animations and match tempo (I play 45 minutes half length) it's probably the main reason of why my defenders don't track as much as they should.

Made however a couple of changes in prediction points and activating movement prediction by AI and it seemed to me in my last test that itactually seems to help with this, maybe along with some of the values introduced by consulting the AI (specifically ChatGPT). I need yet much more testing as I am not completely sure about it.

Send me your locale.ini however as maybe you found something I didn't. Might send my locale.ini as well tomorrow.

Also 19in by papinho seems to make mark's tighter, but this has the problem of also making marks tighter in the midfield to a point where I'd say it accelerates tempo a bit too much in certain situations.

Also, I'd say that marking slider has the same effect, makes your players mark tighter but along all the pitch, accelerating tempo by forcing you to play forward due to excessive pressure instead of having a more relaxed build up. Sweet spot seems to be around 31-33. Also other values like aggression inside locale.ini seems to affect this but I am not completely sure to which level it does affect.

Again, need to test much more, it looks like the locale.ini can help with it but doesn't solve the problem completely as defenders are still too relaxed when it comes to pursuing running players into the area in counters, specially when ball is in the wings.

Will be in contact. I am deeply interested in the topic as FIFA 17 seems to me the closest game to a simulator, specifically in what refers to build up tempo, support in build up to the defenders, etc.
