I haven't played much yet but here it is some early feedback.
I encountered some situations when I couldn't find easily the ball. In the situation below I was not sure who had the ball. Maybe marking in a different color the tile with the ball will do.
Also, the IA performs actions too fast and it was hard for me to follow. I would add some messages on screen for each event: Tackle! Shoot! It failed! etc. Games like Pokemon have text windows during combat explaining what's going on.
Hi,
Thanks! I'm like the game a lot!
After playing more... when you get used to it, is easier to follow what the AI is doing so you can disregard my last comment.
Also, I found a bug and I was able to lock the game playing with the Xbox 360 USB controller: When you select an action and the random numbers are being shown, you can quickly press LT or RT to change the action. If you then select a different action nothing happens. But, if you are doing a pass and you quickly press RT (switches to shoot), LT (returns back to pass) and then move the cursor to your position while the number is being computed, it will try to do a pass to same exact tile you are in and the game will lock. You can't pass to yourself during the game but it is possible by doing RT, LT while executing an action.
I tried to record it but the animation ended up glitched. The graphics in the game were fine, is just an issue with the recorder.
Hi!
Yes i'am (July 2015...Wow man, water under the bridge):) I had lost sight of the game but Tchey's vid came as a good reminder so i just bought the game to support ;)
Yeah the camera could be a good thing before Steam, it would also allow better quality streams/vids imho.
EDIT:
How about a career mode, in which the player is either one team player or a club manager.
Would play out like a real football season, using existing calendars.
Field conditions: Rain/snow/mud could randomly affect some tiles depending on the weather.
Fouls,Freekicks, Cards and injuries, those sound like a lot of work but that could add up some fun perhaps:
Fouls could happen when a defender fumbles is tackle roll or an attacker fumbling is dribble roll.
Yellow/red cards/injuries could be related to the player skills/rolls, their position before tacking the action and of course the player's stamina level.
Well, thanks again for your support.
Yeah, the game has been going on for a very long time. I work on this game in my spare time and on my own, which means that things progress very slowly.
I have thought before about a career mode, but it really is out of the scope of the project and not really the type of game I wanted to make, since I am not a fan of manager mechanics.
Rain is already implemented (also hot weather, and they have different impact on the players), you just need to progress a bit more in the Story Mode. I thought about snow, but I felt it would be too similar to rain, and I don't know where it could fit in the Story Mode now (every match is already designed to introduce a new mechanic / twist).
Fouls, free kicks and yellow / red cards were in the game at some point, but I decided to take them out since they didn't add much to the game and felt a bit unfair.
Injuries would work nicely on a Career Mode, but I am not sure they would fit in Story Mode.
Thanks for all the feedback and ideas, I really appreciate it and take them seriously, but I am not always able to implement them due to scope or design constraints...
Hi!
Glad to hear you are enjoying the game :)
Thanks for your feedback, they are all very good suggestions but as you say, development of the game has stopped.
Just a couple of things:
You can open the objetives pop up in the matches menu if you click on any of the stars of a match.
Block is used when a player tries to intercept a pass or a shot, and save is only used by GKs when trying to stop a shot.
Cheers,
Ruben
