Just been thinking about creating my own team to play with. I realise this will take a bit of time, so was wondering if others have experiences with this. IE was it as fun as you anticipated? Any tips for making it a fun game that is worth playing for seasons on end? Cheers in advance
Well, playing with a custom team CAN be fun, however it depends on how much time you invest in creating the team. It takes some time, especially if you want to go all the way, creating you own stadium in detail. If you have time to spare and you feel like ''wasting time'' then I would recommend it, because you can customize your team completely. Create people and put them on the board, make them friendly so they wont sack you, or put famous people up there(dont know if Elton John is still in the database, but that would be a nice addition). So yes playing with your handmade team is fun, as long as you see the time spent on creating the team not as ''wasted'', but then again, time you enjoy wasting was never wasted in the first place, creating a team can be good fun as well.
I was thinking about doing this aswell, but have a question regarding stats. when you give a player a certain stat, say 13 for dribbling, will this be the number he reaches when he fulfils his potential ability, or the number he has with his current ability?
so, for example: I give in 13 in the editor for a player's dribbling, and 134 current ability. I set the player's potential ability to 178. will he have 13 dribbling at the start of said game, or when he reaches potential ability?
I have been operating on the assumption that what you enter here is related to his PA not his CA, though I could be wrong. Also, the players age is a factor, and his attributes will be scaled down according to his age at the time he is created. Ie, if you put his passing PA at 20, but his age is only 16, this will be scaled down when the game starts, say to around 14. THis will go up toward his PA though over time. the other factor that I think effects this is the players position, in that the attributes considered essential for his position will be prioritised
Yes it can be. I made one for my Sunday league team and started in the Conference North. Amnow flying high in League one with automatic promotion in my sights.
Its pretty simple really, I have very limited knowledge of editing etc but found it very easy. Thankfully SI have included the game editor for you! Just open your editor, under file load the original data base. Then under options go to create team and go through all the steps. There is a more detailed guide on these forums somewhere. If you do a search you should be able to find it without too much hassle.
is playing with a created team fun?
