As a big fan of sports sims I love the aspect of being able to control and manage what happens behind the scenes and on the field. I’m a player that spends more time in the managing and customising aspect compared to playing the game. I have just started a new team management career with a custom roster placing my created player into a team, and I’m interested to see if the players actually level up and how that exactly works.
I have simulated two seasons and adjusted coaching influence for a few players to see if they would level up but there was no change in player ratings or overall ratings. Am I missing something and am I doing something wrong?
Those that enjoy team management, what have you done to improve players overall ratings.
Players in general including the custom player who still has a min and max potential overall. I made my player 75 overall and will see how it goes over another season.
I’ve played a few seasons now with my current save and I can confirm there is progression, quite a few players are increasing in overall. Just not entirely sure how it’d go with custom players.
Late to the party here. Correct me if I’m wrong but you only get a 1/4 or even half of the XP with no objectives hit with simulation. Progression is relatively quick when playing the season😊
The simulation of the mode is still just bad. Playable but bad. Had the game freeze midway through the third. Decided to sim that game because I didn’t want to play it again. (No in game saving like cricket). Sam Collins never kicked a goal before named at full back in the team sheet. Kicks 3 goals. My defenders kick 9 of the 14 goals simmed. Completely game ruining takes away anything realistic in this game mode and ruined the entire save.
Oh and the 3 goals he kicked put him only 18 goals off the lead in the coleman medal race at like round 11. Very unrealistic
Also the players coming back from injury between team selection and game day is so unrealistic. You tell me Rowell isn’t eligible to be named for AFL. But the day after I do my vfl team selection and he’s recovered. So I can pick him for there. But can’t pick him for the AFL game which is yet to be played. Just have already had team selection
(Gameplay thing)
I know the handballing of AI is being fixed. But nothing worse in the game than the opposition team kicking out of full back straight to me, time after time depending on defensive structures. Another thing that ruins the game
But I did get to round 11. Before I’ve had to delete the same so 10 rounds of fun
Sim only knew save. Trades are also still broken. As trialed through other saves. St least give us an option to approve cpu to cpu trades because it’s so dumb role players being traded for top 10 picks. I won’t find out in my actual save what happens due to needing to restart it again now
Seems like unless it’s pro team, the other modes still bugged out
No swearing or distasteful comments. So please don’t delete this. The people need to know these things before starting saves
