Hi. I tried your config and used some variables in my own.

I have a setting you might want to try for short passing. I changed it to 800 and now my team obeys m y short passing. Here's what I did. Maybe try it in your patch. OPTION_VALUE_MIN_PASS_DIST = 800 OPTION_VALUE_MAX_PASS_DIST = 5000 OPTION_VALUE_MAX_GROUND_PASS_DIST = 6000 Here is my dribbling: //Dribble OPTION_VALUE_DRIBBLE_FORWARD = 100 OPTION_VALUE_DRIBBLE_SAFE = 1350 OPTION_VALUE_DRIBBLE = 10000 OPTION_VALUE_DRIBBLE_MOMENTUM = 2500 OPTION_VALUE_DRIBBLE_BREAKAWAY = 600 //Real Dribble OPTION_VALUE_REALDRIBBLE = 300 OPTION_VALUE_MAX_REALDRIBBLE_TIME = 600 OPTION_VALUE_REALDRIBBLE_AWARE_DIST = 1500 //Sprint Dribble OPTION_VALUE_SPRINTDRIBBLE = 55500 OPTION_VALUE_SPRINTDRIBBLE_NETDIST = 500 OPTION_VALUE_SPRINTDRIBBLE_SAFE = 5000 TCMAI: // Dribble Local Scoring // // These are used to determine which direction to dribble in OPTION_VALUE_DRIBBLE_DIRECTION = 155000 OPTION_VALUE_DRIBBLE_SAFE = 155000 OPTION_VALUE_DRIBBLE_FORWARD = 50

The reason I suggest these is I actually got a player drag the ball back, do a 3 60 turn and beat the defender. They do all sorts of tricks with the dribbling no w. The skillful players that is. The drag back was lovely. He stopped, dragged t he ball back slightly then did a back heal behind then moved to the side and bea t the defender. I have never ever seen I seen it in real life ching of dribbles from ee Eriksson with these that in any football but never a game. It various gameplays to dribbling values. He game. Not even in Football Manager. took 15 matches of tweaks and resear get the guy to do that. You should s is a kin

here are the lines I tried: Conservative pass: OPTION_VALUE_MIN_PASS_DIST = 800 OPTION_VALUE_MAX_PASS_DIST = 5000 Lobbing: OPTION_VALUE_MIN_LOB_PASS_DIST = 1 OPTION_VALUE_MAX_LOB_PASS_DIST = 3000

through passes: OPTION_VALUE_MIN_THROUGH_PASS_DIST = 800 OPTION_VALUE_MAX_THROUGH_PASS_DIST = 5000 I tested and retested and never seem to have a problem with them. Many positives . I took almost all your lines for build up and only changed these lines and the 4 5 degree line. I noticed the keeper missed the cross. It could be something I ch anged in the TCMAI file. Not sure. Have to test again. For the report I gave I used your full gpp and changed nothing in it to see. A little feedback (playing 2 games in Ligue 1 France) Defense is good Team positioning seams good crosses are good Dribble are good (peut-tre trop souvent russis mon got) the issues are : (for me and the way I like the 3D modus) - A little bit to speed for me - Build up is to much straight forward, almost no backpasses, and for me there m ust have more very-short ground passes - to much backward runs. - i think the players sometimes refuse to dribble is opponent and run backwards. I solved this by increasing the DRIBBLE_DIRECTION in my GPP V2.1, but you may ha ve more forward dribble, doing this - to much long shots - to much shot on top corner (lucarnes ) I work on The ACTION_DIRECT_SHOT / ACTION_LONG_SHOT in the tcmai, increasing the values AVG, GOOD, EXC, and I have more powerfull shot, and not all in the top c orners, but it comes with more bad shots (plus de tirs hors-cadre) - a lot of post and bar hits It's just my point of view, and i don't know what type of game you are searching for. The main issue is the backwards runs (sometimes on 40 or 50 meters) it's very an noying I feel that many good chances were wasted by the long shots,so I modified the fo llowing parameters in"tcmai.ini" to reduce long shot OPTION_SHOOTING_YARDS_CLOSE = 7 //10.0 OPTION_SHOOTING_YARDS_FAR = 18 //23.8 OPTION_SHOOTING_FROM_DISTANCE_BIAS = 75 //77.5 i will test it ,give me a advice

:HORHGH: i'm trying this, testing a new GPP, and it seems to be a very good idea. For the shots (trying to get them worst), just some ideas You can try working on this in tcmai.ini SHOT_NEARMISS_ANGLE = 70 (higher this)

RANDOM_SCORE_CHANCE = 25 (lower this) For the GK, try to work on this in the ai.ini Lower the red lines, and higher the blue ones GK_REACTION_TIME_MAX = 6.0 GK_REACTION_TIME_MIN = 1.5 GK_REACTION_TIME_FOR_WALL = 1.0 (=> this is for freeckik, saves behind the wall) GK_SAVE_SPEED_SIDEWAYS_MAX = 5.5 GK_SAVE_SPEED_SIDEWAYS_MIN = 0.5 GK_SAVE_SPEED_UP_MAX = 5.25 GK_SAVE_SPEED_UP_MIN = 0.25 GK_SAVE_SPEED_DOWN_MAX = 5.25 GK_SAVE_SPEED_DOWN_MIN = 0.25 GK_SAVE_SPEED_MOVE_MAX = 5.5 GK_SAVE_SPEED_MOVE_MIN = 2.0 GK_CATCH_SPEED_MIN = 5.0 GK_CATCH_SPEED_MAX = 10.0 I am trying to make a great patch but some elements are lacking: What I need to know is what the following does or is supposed to do: Also whethe r they should be increased or decreased. //Wall pass OPTION_VALUE_WALLPASS = 1 OPTION_VALUE_MAX_GROUND_PASS_DIST = 6000 //Clearrance OPTION_VALUE_CLEARRANCE = 500 and TEAM_ATTACKSTYLE_GOOD_PASS_LIMIT = 350000 TEAM_ATTACKSTYLE_GOOD_DRIBBLE_LIMIT = 700000 TEAM_ATTACKSTYLE_GOOD_SHOT_LIMIT = 100000 These are the values I used. I am looking for pass that is a wall pass like you see in matches like United love doing. I never see that in Fifa Manager 12. I al so want to improve clearances. So should I increase my value or lower it? I tried a few settings but without some help I am getting nowhere with these val ues. OPTION_VALUE_WALLPASS i'm not sure if this line is still used by the game i try with some values from 1 to 500 000 or delete it and I don't see a real cha nge. I think, if you want "long air passes" (sorry i'm french, i'm not sure of what i s a wallpass !), you must use the LOB_PASS_FORWARD lines and increase them. For the clearance, usually you have to increase it to get the defenders kick the ball away more often. But I may be wrong, if someone could give is own experience, to compare Thanks. I did that now and I think I actually solved the crossing issue with goa

lkeepers always getting the ball. Two of the three goals in my last match were from crosses inside the penalty are a. One was a great half-volley and another a header. The keeper stayed in his bo x both times whereas before in the same repeated match he always came and got th e ball. Tackling or more specifically fouls is a problem. It would be a perfect config t o play with and use if not for tackling and fouls. I absolutely love it. Any help with that? It was down but for some reason with better build up the tackling is really obvi ous now. WALLPASS .. when changed that , i noticed my players lob less or more behind wal l of defenders so an attacker get the ball, it looked to me more of high ball ve rsion of through ball above defenders shoulders or head to fall in running strik er path OPTION_VALUE_MAX_GROUND_PASS_DIST: is more the license you give to players to se nd low pass according to longest distance you set in another variable in ini fil e which set that OPTION_VALUE_CLEARRANCE : will help to force player clear the ball more or less TEAM_ATTACKSTYLE_GOOD_PASS_LIMIT = 350000 TEAM_ATTACKSTYLE_GOOD_DRIBBLE_LIMIT = 700000 TEAM_ATTACKSTYLE_GOOD_SHOT_LIMIT = 100000 the more you increase one the higher chances you have to decide to do dribble or pass or shot Thanks. I really appreciate the help. I changed wallpass to 750000 and I got a c ouple of straight line passes and some lovely crossing now. Now tackling... What to do about fouls? 8 fouls from my team in one match even though they are o n cautious tackling. Some did look like dodgy refereeing. Referees and tackles a re now my biggest headache. More lines that I actually have NO understanding of yet they seem to have huge i mpact on the match is these lines in the TCMAI: // Global Scoring // // These are used to score each possible behaviour (pass, shoot...) OPTION_VALUE_MAX = 1000000 OPTION_VALUE_FORWARD_MIN = 1 OPTION_VALUE_FORWARD = 2 OPTION_VALUE_FORWARD_MAX = 5 OPTION_VALUE_SAFE_MIN = 60 OPTION_VALUE_SAFE = 120 OPTION_VALUE_SAFE_MAX = 180 OPTION_VALUE_BASE = 100000 OPTION_VALUE_GOAL_ANGLE_BONUS = 20000.0 Again these are the values I use in my own config. I don't know why but even cha nging them slightly has a big effect on the match. You might recognize these val ues. I got them from Gepard's Fifa Manager 07 gameplay config. All except the la st line.

Great, for your crosses. As there is no real lines to manage cross, i think all the pass lines are useful l for that And you have some GK lines to manage the way he goes out of his line For the Fouls on tackles. As Shwan said (on the other thread) if fouls comes to often from tackles : in tcmai.ini you must try to lower these lines // Dictates the chance of a foul being awarded POOR_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE = POOR_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE = AVERAGE_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE = AVERAGE_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE = GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE = GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE = EX_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE = EX_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE = 1 in ai.ini FOUL_STUMBLE_CHANCE = (i think it is a % for fouls, not just on tackles, but for all stumble) lower it CLEAN_STUMBLE_CHANCE = (i think it is a % for no fouls, not just on tackles, but for all stumble) raise it The amount of these 2 lines must be 100 (I suppose ) lower this, (same values on tcmai) POOR_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE = POOR_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE = AVERAGE_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE = AVERAGE_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE = GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE = GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE = EX_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE = EX_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE = in tcmai.ini you got these lines too. For me i think it's the level of the attributes to reach poor/good/average/excel lent animations for tackling. So, i try to lower them to allow more players to have success in their tackling action. (i'm using it like the range for attributes, but I still may be wrong ) POOR_ACTION_TACKLING= AVG_ACTION_TACKLING= GOOD_ACTION_TACKLING= EX_ACTION_TACKLING= one other thing i make, but not really for the fouls, just to have wide variety of tackles, it's in the positioning.ini I use this value, and now I see more sliding tackles. IDC_POSITION_CLOSE_RATE_DEFENDING = -1 I hope it's not just a coincidence So if I increase it slightly to say for example: OPTION_VALUE_FORWARD_MIN = 1 OPTION_VALUE_FORWARD = 9 OPTION_VALUE_FORWARD_MAX = 16

Counter attacking and direct passing should improve? Those are the minor issues I have. Also does it affect shots and crosses? These are the setting I combined with your and the 45 degree change and min and max passing that resulted in a headed goal from a cross. Can anyone explain what the positioning file does? I tried my own edited one and then Shwans one. Its two totally different matches with the same ai.ini and tcma.ini setting. Its hard to explain. But the great dribbling I get only happens with Shwans one and not my edited one. I changed these lines in positioning: DC_POS_MOVE_REGULAR_SLOW_JOG = 85 IDC_POS_MOVE_REGULAR_STOP_JOG = 75 IDC_POS_MOVE_REGULAR_STOP_SPRINT = 125 IDC_POS_MOVE_REGULAR_STOP_SLOW_JOG = 35 DC_POS_MOVE_REGULAR_JOG = 285 IDC_POPTIONS_SHOW_ATTACKING_PLAYERS = -0.8 IDC_POSITION_CLOSE_PER_SECOND_ATTACKING = 0 IDC_POSITION_Distance_1 = 6 IDC_POSITION_Distance_2 = 11 IDC_POSITION_Distance_3 = 13 IDC_POSITION_Distance_4 = 15 IDC_POSITION_TACKLE_DISTANCE = 66 IDC_POSITION_CLOSE_RATE_ATTACKING = 8 IDC_POSITION_CLOSE_RATE_DEFENDING = 3 IDC_POSITION_MARKING_FORMATION = 33 Why does the match look totally different changing these lines? It even affected the goalkeeper. Passing, crossing and shots even changed. some claim if you changed all value to zero, game is better and some doubt even it has an effect it should be deciding how players position themselves i only activate all type of calculation, and control how players run with/withou t ball, should they be jogging, sprinting, how often they stop to decide another actions ..etc. IDC do stand for something .. may be "identify destination " or "identify decisi on " ..etc. not sure what but it will tell each player where to be going, basically determine his position IDC_POS_MOVE_REGULAR_SLOW_JOG = 85 IDC_POS_MOVE_REGULAR_STOP_JOG = 75 IDC_POS_MOVE_REGULAR_STOP_SPRINT = 125 IDC_POS_MOVE_REGULAR_STOP_SLOW_JOG = 35 DC_POS_MOVE_REGULAR_JOG = 285 those are for players with no ball or not involved in defending or marking (regu alr) one is to determine an action (jog, slow jog or sprint) the other used to know h ow often that action will be stopped to do another action and recalculate again

IDC_POPTIONS_SHOW_ATTACKING_PLAYERS = -0.8 no clues, this is why i leave it IDC_POSITION_CLOSE_PER_SECOND_ATTACKING = 0 possibility to call 2nd attacker to close down same player holding the ball IDC_POSITION_Distance_1 = 6 IDC_POSITION_Distance_2 = 11 IDC_POSITION_Distance_3 = 13 IDC_POSITION_Distance_4 = 15 not sure, but i guess it give margin of distance you should be from targets (def ending or attacking?) or may be there is 4 set of calculating the Distance, and each value will determine which one is most likely to get picked by a random val ue when selecting an action tbh i rarely change that, as have no clues .. and is hard to say when you change it , what did it effected in the match AI IDC_POSITION_TACKLE_DISTANCE = 66 not sure 100%, either distance that a tackle cover, or the value on how far the attacker is to decide to make a tackle or not, so if far he will move to a dista nce that able him to tackle .. anyway i often increase that if i want more tackl es IDC_POSITION_CLOSE_RATE_ATTACKING = 8 IDC_POSITION_CLOSE_RATE_DEFENDING = 3 determine the rate of closing down by defending side or attacking one sure it work with tactics instructions, which will be using a mix of both IDC_POSITION_MARKING_DESTINATION = 112 IDC_POSITION_MARKING_FORMATION = 23 that is for marking, should a defender fellow the player he has to mark accordin g to nearest one in formations or depending on destination from each other .. th e value you put will increase how much each system will be used to calculate who mark who that is my understating of it mate .. and mostly is based on hypotheses based on several tests on matches .. and bcz we can't access most related hard codes, we can not be 100% certain of some : CESFULCRUM: I found some other lines. I gaining better understanding how the config works. I combined your and gepards settings for positioning and it works great. I left y our marking and dribbling lines in this file. I used his lines for everything el se. Some minor tweaking will have to be done but the results are more in tune to what I am aiming for. For example I now getting my players now actually try dri bble when free instead of passing. Please explain these lines and exactly what happens. I am sure one of these affe cts crossing. I tweaked it and low crosses beat the keeper and but not high ones . It seems to affect wingers as well. I had a winger cut in a shoot like Young did against a few Premier league teams this season.
