Tweaks and match engine updates 2013-04-11

By FIDAdmin

We have just released three updates on the match engine - revised momentum, blocking tweak, and minor tweaks on the AI. The updates can be found on all matches, test matches included, and we will most likely tweak these things further which is the reason why we will have the Training Camps (readjustment possibility) open until April 19th.

1. Revised momentum 
We have revised the way momentum works in order to make it work more as we intend it to work. This however means that we need to find a good balance in momentum again and here we need you to help out and give feedback such as if the acceleration is too slow/fast, if the footballers move too long/short, if there is too much/little difference between fast footballers and slow footballers.

2. Blocking tweak
We have made some tweaks on blocking and we have now made blocking a bit easier and also made the blocking attribute a bit more important when blocking compared to the other skills involved. Here we need feedback about if blocking is too easy or too hard on different levels and also if there are too many blocks or too few. We do not want "Blocking Identity" but we also want the blocking attribute to be a valid and useful addition to Footballidentity and not only a "dump attribute". It is a thin line that needs to be found and we need you to help out here!

3. Minor tweaks on the AI
The AI have got a well needed tweak. It has not been any big tweaks but hopefully you will find the AI acting at least a bit smarter from now on. Please get back to us regarding if you believe the AI have not been improved and if so also why you do not think so!

All feedback can be written in this thread:
