V20 has landed!!!


This version sees even more key areas improved from the already super popular V19!

For a general run down of what's included in the mod please read here - https://www.patreon.com/anthjamesfc24gameplaylab/about

The key features of V20 are as follows:

- CPU ATTACKING BEHAVIOUR:

This has been revisited and improved on!! This is an extremely tricky and stubborn area - but there have been significant enhancements now regarding the way the CPU plays to open up more attacking and defensive variety.

The CPU will now play more crosses and long balls - and attack in different ways! The CPU will be less aggressive in it's dribbling - but the scope is there for them to dribble, creating a really nice balance.

- CPU DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOUR: 

On the defensive side, the CPU is also now much harder to press. You can still effectively press, but the CPU won't be as easy to press

as in previous versions (stat dependent of course). The CPU will also be less aggressive

in it's dribbling from the back.

Note: This area of CPU behaviour is very complex - it's not a matter of changing a couple of values and that's it. To bring out particular behaviours requires many areas of gameplay all working together to encourage particular behaviour.

The variety is there, but it doesn't mean every team or player will play the same way - you will see different things based on a number of factors - please remember this!

- PHYSICALITY REWORKED:

This is a big area of improvement that opens up so many more outcomes when fighting

for the ball. Defenders are no longer guaranteed to take the ball off the attacker and this leads to a far deeper experience, where you have to consider your defensive and offensive approach a lot more. Offensive players are much better at resisting tackles and holding their own now - which allows your and the CPU to play in tighter spaces and to craft intricate plays. You will see some really nice interactions and new animations from this!

- LOWER RATED PLAYER IMPROVEMENTS:

There has been improvements made to ensure that even when playing with 1-3 star rated teams,

that players will perform their defensive duties better. This is still very much stat dependent, but changes have been made to make these lower league games much more interesting battles.

- VARIOUS:

There have also been small, various changes to improve and refine various behaviours and mechanics across the pitch - all to improve the overall experience.

- OPTIONS, OPTIONS, OPTIONS (FULL GAMEPLAY PACKAGE ONLY)!!!

Please be sure to read everything in the files guys - I make it super easy but you must read it all!

/////

PLEASE REMEMBER - every aspect of my mod is made with 'realism' in mind. Nothing is designed in this mod to be 'arcade'.

There are MANY interpretations about what realism is!

The options are here to you can refine the gameplay and customise it to your liking.

There is no 'BEST' combination for everyone that makes the gameplay the MOST realistic.

Realism is interpretive - use what works best for your needs!

//////

To be very clear also - you don't need to stack every possible option in order to have a full experience, these options are here for you to add or change this from whichever core AIO Standalone version you are using.

Thanks so much for your support everyone!

Vladislav Gatev

Hi, Anth! First off, thank you for your works! Your efforts makes EA games playable and actually enjoyable. I tried your recommended mod combination, and while the gameplay feels realistic, one thing that pops out is that the referees dish out yellow and red cards for almost every player/player contact, I'm bumping into opposition players and not even touching the tackle buttons, and still get booked. And although I have learned how to play around it to some extent, the AI gets a red card (or even more) at least every other match. I'm not using any other gameplay related mod, just yours and several cosmetic ones. Not sure if this is intended, or a bug. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hey Vladislav. Thanks for your comment man. Do you have your ref set to 'very lenient'? That's the trick to less cards - especially the reds. The idea is to create that risk/reward in your approach when defending so it's not all based on just the tackle button. It brings a different depth to your defensive approach. Very lenient is needed though as recommended in the read me files. Alternatively, you can use the vanilla ref option - but you won't get as many fouls obviously.

Vladislav Gatev

Ah, so that's what I missed, the lenient option. Alternatively, when I disabled the physicality mod, it works perfectly. Thanks for your fast response, I'll give that a try. All the best!

David Scott

with the very lenient option, you get realistic fouls. ive found i have to play the game more patiently and not try dive into silly challenges and jockey the opposition more. when you do you will see the pc slow the game down and pass about the back and through midfield like real life.

anthjamesfc24gameplaylab

Nicely put David. This is my aim with the defensive system, to bring that risk/reward element and make you have to think more about different elements of your approach.

David Scott

definitely heading in right direction pal..have you got a discord anth, would be good to help in any way i can.

Andrea Clementi

Hey man, yes I’ll run some test exhibition matches and let you know. When I tested it the first time everythung was fine, a little sloppy here and there, but nothing like the shitshow that started when i loaded a pre existing career save.

Jayyy
