Paul√ / Paulv2k4 FC26 Gameplay Mod v4.1 (The fun and realistic mod by a FIFA/FC Veteran) - TU1.5.0

Paul-v said:
Thanks. I am glad you are both enjoying.


In FC26, I have had to use the "hack" to force AI fouling in the game which is why its so rash. It's been a known "hack" for years but we gameplay modders mostly try to stay away from it because of this reason. My later versions 4.0.4 and 4.0.5 are trying to find ways to not use it but at this moment in time, nothing is working as good as this.


It is getting quite difficult to try and balance this whilst keeping some kind of difference between players and keeping passing accuracy figures more "realistic". If I reduce the lower attribute any further, users wont be able to use League 2 (lower ability) players at all.

The problem is because the AI is dumb as f*ck in FC 26 and every single time EA say theyve "fixed it", it doesnt really change. This is a major problem with the series and I do believe they could fix it if given some time or effort but this is not where EA are putting their resources right now.

With each iteration, I am trying to find ways to make the AI not use any of its stupidity choices but its a lot harder these days than it was back in say FIFA 20/21.

Yeah I am glad it wasn't me that thought although the CPU AI is less frustrating to play against in Title Update 14, it's still dumb and predictable. I was excited that they will patch it but clearly they just made it so that the pass_delay is increased(which just means they will do less quick passes), that's it.

Paul, your latest gameplay is simply exceptional, I'm talking about V4 beta 1.
I encourage everyone who follows gameplay progress to try it. For those who have trouble controlling the ball, use the LT button before receiving the pass, you can also choose not to use it, as it can create different situations depending on the space around you... I'm taking the liberty of posting your latest video here.
What a masterclass @Paul-v ! Wow!

How many games you r getting with 0-0 ,1-0 etc ?
 
Hello, what a masterpiece! Fantastic! The rhythm is exceptional, perfect. The tempo is incredible. If you could slightly reduce the ball's freedom of movement during control, the gameplay would be extraordinary. I love this simulation aspect. Exceptional work. Really, if you could reduce it slightly and offer two options, it would be amazing. Bravo and above all, a huge thank you.
 
Paul- I'm loving v4.0.8! Seems like there are fewer rash AI slide tackles and a bit more attribute contrasts. I do agree with alex1117 that the ball freedom of movement, particularly bad 1st touches seem a bit much in v4.0.8.

Separately, I'm wondering why your mod only works in "Competitive" Gameplay (sorry if I missed that explanation in this thread). I do prefer to use the Custom GameType Settings- as they allow users to self-adjust for behaviors like the 1st Touch Errors above. Is there any possibility to be able to use "Custom" Gameplay for your mod in the future?

Thanks so much Paul!!!
 
Hail the King. Quality mod in many aspects . Maybe i would like less goals combiined . No other complain at all . Excellent and in depth !!!
 
Thanks for the mod! The slower pace feels great and really changes the gameplay for the better.

I noticed one small thing: the first touches seem a bit extreme. Even with ~70-skill players, the ball bounces away almost every time. Is this intended to be that sensitive? It feels a touch unrealistic at the moment.
 
Hello everyone,

I think we all agree that if the developer manages to reduce errors in ball handling, the gameplay could be truly extraordinary. I agree about the realism, but this is a bit much. If the developer makes this small adjustment while offering two versions, I think we'll be close to a true simulation, perhaps even perfection.
 
Hi, I'm using the 10-hour trial version, but I can't launch the game with the mod. I downloaded the latest FMM 2.04 and the latest mod 4.08. When I launch the game through FMM, the game doesn't start, even though the FC26 process is listed. The game runs fine without the mod. Am I doing something wrong?
 
Hi all.

New mod is now available for title update 1.5.0.

Changes:
- Changes to fouling logic so if a player takes the ball before the player, even in a slide tackle, it will not give a foul
- Fixed Goalkeepers dropping the ball when they should catch it easily
- AI updates for TU1.5.0

Download links are in the video description and pinned comment.

Hi Paul,
nice to see you working. Thanks for the new release. Will test it soon.
 
To Paul, thanks for the gameplay, I tried it but for me it is too difficult, I gave up on the nice game of the AI.
 
Hi, I've been using your mod with Fifa Mod Manager for the last few years without any problems, but unfortunately since EAFC 26 I always get a huge ball when I use your mod. I don't use any other mods. I've tried it with Live Editor and without, but the problem remains. Any idea what could be causing this? I'm really annoyed because I find the game terrible without your mod.

Is there any way to prevent the huge ball from appearing if we choose CUSTOM?

It should work if you turn "Authenticity Features" to OFF

I just tried the v5 alpha and its so good. I am having some close intense matches and the balance is very very good.

Ah. I am glad you are enjoying it.
 
Great mod ( v 4.1 ). Great balance between animations & flow. One thing if is possible to change : the ball is a bit too loose. Can you reduce it but just by a bit . It's a nice feature and makes the ball less attached to players but i think it's just a little bit too excessive? Otherwise very good mod overall. Changes the game completely

Edited: another thing i remarked: AI is too aggressive in sliding tackles ( reminds me of the old kill_everyon = 1 lol ). Most of the fouls are from those sliding tackles. Too many red cards.

My personal taste says that the loose ball and the tackles are just perfect!
But as I said: personal preference.

There is ONLY ONE situation where the ball is really waaaayyyy tooooo loose:
When I get the ball because the cpu does miss a pass, the ball bounces waaaayyy too far off my foot. In 9 out of 10 situations I loose the ball immediately to the opponent after I got the ball from the missed pass.
To me, that's a bit annoying.

Apart from that the game feels just right when it comes to weight, speed, tactical approach, build-up. We had a 4 hours couch co-op yesterday and had the fun of our lives!
 
Tried the new update and it's even better. There is one thing I am not sure if it's working correctly and it's the weak foot stars. I have players that are 5 star weak footed and anytime they use the wrong foot, the ball goes way off like they are 1 star weak footed. Outside of that, it's pretty good.
 
Hey Paul, love the gameplay. I feel like the teams shift sometimes too much on the pitch leaving the other side of the pitch completely open, very easy to score.

The ball bounces off players feet so high/long in a rebound it's basically impossible to control.

Apart from those points, it's wonderful, I am having so much fun, thank you for the work.
