Please Read. Yes its Long but could be of Great Benefit to you all
Ok, first of all I am on the Xbox 360 but that doesnt really matter to what I am going to talk about here except for the fact that the Konami update ruined the created German Teams I had after applying Daymos and Cowsons fantastic V1.5 Option File.
I have been holding off starting a Master League because I wanted to wait til everything was right and I thought it would have been after the Konami Update. I do feel the referee actually gives me free kicks now and cards to the AI! I also feel the game is slightly slower. Maybe I am cracking up? Anyone else feel the same.
Anyway, I cracked on with a new master league last night with just Bayern Munich as one of the german teams added to the D2 league as Stuttgart and Wolfsburg had the stupid made up players back in their respective teams as a result of Konami's update (yip, Konami said this wouldnt happen but it did). :-(
There wasnt enough players from the national squads to make up the Stuttgart and Wolfsburg teams although I did manage to get enough to get a squad of about 16 or so together for Munich.
Anyway, before I started I went through every team including the National teams and edited a couple of things in the assisted settings for them all.
The first slider in the Assisted Settings is:
Lineup: I set this to no 2 so that the computer will select the best team for the team I will be playing according to both ability and form.
What I did notice when doing this is the fact there are many teams within the game who certainly don't start with their best players and when I selected this option players who were subs came into the team with noticably better stats!
Doing it this way they will off course also pick some players with lesser stats from time to time but this is very realistic anyway as you wouldnt want a player on bad form to be in the team anyway! Poor touch, shot, dribbling, control, slower etc etc.
The other slider I selected was the very bottom one. Again go to Game Plan, then Assisted Settings, and then the Last slider and move it to no.3 (play a more balanced game of attack and defence). Well it says something like that. Im at work at the moment and cant check :-(
I started a Master League last night and I have already noticed the difference to be honest.
There was also another slider in the Assisted Settings that had something to do with Formation Settings. I think there was one that said something along the lines of Change Formation to suit the Game Situation. I never altered it but to me this could mean if the AI are losing they might alter their formation shape to a more attacking one in search of an equaliser.
To me the Game Plan Assisted Settings might be the so called Holy Grail to this game and one which could change the Master League and overall AI to be a lot more exciting and challenging.
I personally think changing these Assisted Settings could open up a whole new experience to the way the AI play and I really dont understand why Konami have them all set to manual. I think they should have been altered but werent before the game was released? Weird I know
To me they seem like they can alter a lot to make this game much better!
We know Konami can be lazy and maybe, just maybe, they left it like this for us to alter and thus make the game play and act the way we want it.
