This game has potential!

Post by devaux »

I played this game for a while and i have to say that this game has a lot of potential!
Thank you for your great effort!

Now the points i miss:
- Sometimes the AI act a bit weird. There were also situations where the ball was blocked by players/goalkeeper and i had to cancel the game because it didn't stop by the referee after 45mins
- HiDPI-Support in window-mode (double the Pixels will do the job for the beginning)
- Career Mode with a lot of statistics (please!)
- Ball-passing (I don't know how or if it's just not implemented but setting it to the second button of the controller would improve the gameplay a lot)

AI will be reworked and improved in the next version.

In window mode it's possibile to stretch the window to any size.

At present, career mode is not planned. It requires a lot of work and we have limited time, sorry. However, we may implement a season mode.

Ball passing is done by short pressing the first button. We'll try to improve it in the next version.

Yes, i know :-/
This is the main feature why SWoS always gives me the motivation to play again. To start with a small team and make it famous...
But yes, I know (even as a non-programmer) that it would be a lot of work to implement. Maybe starting with a small transfer market where you can buy and sell players in the (infinite) season mode...?
There are even some OpenSource-Football-Managers like Bygfoot (http://www.bygfoot.com/). Maybe you can get any ideas out of it...

Thank you for your answers :)
I tried to pass with a short click, but it doesn't look like the ball is played to my teammate's feet as i know it from SWoS. Maybe i just need some further training. I will definitely try again :)

p.s. the import-function for the SWoS-teams is great! But i notices, that it won't work for the unofficial database 16/17 from http://www.sensiblesoccer.de. With the 96/97 data it worked flawlessly.

That's strange, does it fail partially or completely?

Can you try with team files from the PC version? The import tool has been tested on those files.
