Matshit Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 So, I have holidayed the game until 2040 to check the AI, but it is a little hard to test. The reason being that it is a little hard to know exactly what to look for. So if anyone has any questions they want answered about the game around 2040, feel free to ask. I would like the questions to be somewhat relatable on a bigger scale, and not so much "how does club X or player Y do." I will give a little insight to the game world, but not expect me to go to much into detail on obscure clubs or players. A brief overview of the world: -The biggest club in the world was for many years Arsenal. From 27 until 37 the team won nine Premier League titles, and from 33 until 37 they played five Champions League finals, winning three. Guardiola was the coach for most of that time. When this suddenly fell down, the team went into a complete melt down, and in the 2038/39 season they ended up in 11. place. This season they are under Joey Barton, and is up to 4th again. At the moment, the football is dominated from Italy. They are leading the FIFA ranking, the UEFA league ranking, and on the UEFA club ranking Sampdoria (1), Milan(3), Roma(4), Fiorentina(7) is all in the top 10. Still, the newest winner of the Champions League is Stoke, despite the team ending up forth in the Premier LEague, and having no big successes before. The biggest star player at the moment is Romas Emilliano Marinai. An attacking playmaker with background from Empoli and Genoa. Second place is Gaetano Martucci. Another Italian, but a central defender who has played his entire career at Sampdoria, except a loan in Belgium. Some observations I have made myself, first the negatives: - No player has managed over 32 goals in one of the big leagues. This is achieved three times. One of the few players to manage 31 is actually a 37 year old Robert Lewandowski playing for Stuttgart. I know scoring 35-40 goals is rare, but it should happen from time to time. This seems even worse at lower levels. In the Conference League, the record is 26. - Some guy in Spain called Osia will end up with a huge family of footballing talent. At the moment there is two in the national team, one in the U21, and three in the U19. Looks like some sort of bug. - A lot of the leagues seems very locked for big periods of time. Like the french league having the same top three in the same poisition for four years running. I fear this might be the game emulating the real world to much, but what the real world has is events that might turn the whole world upside down. The top two in Spain has only been beaten once (big points to whoever manages to guess who). The Italian league has basically been Juventus until 29, Sampdoria until 33, Milan until now, with only Inter in 21 and Sampdoria in 39 breaking this up. - The transfer marked seems to have dried up. In the leading transfers of all time, ten is in the first 5 years of the game. 14 is in the next 11 years. And after 2032, only one transfer has managed to get into the top 35. Roma signing Ousseynou Camara from Sevilla for 51 millions. Totally not worth it by the way. - I have a feeling everything slows down a lot. Might be just because the game has been running for a few days, but I didn't have that problem in 14. The positives: - The big nations seems much more keen on keeping their own talents in their own league. The Italian team have for some reason called up a player from Gent. This is a little weird, but in former games, this have been more of the norm. In this case it is a player that is not that good, and has no caps, so there is a chance he is in the squad, just because there is injuries. - It is much easier to find brilliant teenagers that just end up as mediocrities. I can give an example of the case of Rhys Ingram. A player who I started following early in his career looking for him to reach the stars, but he played the best part of his career for MK Dons in League One. I don't know why he failed, but it wasn't injuries at least. - The general feel is that everything looks a lot better than last game. Exactly how, is hard to tell, but it still looks like a much more dynamic world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairycull Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Good reporting Whats been the results of the world cups? Also what leagues were you running in your test? and lastly have any teams gone bust? Heard somewhere on the forums that teams will be relegated if they go bankrupt, so wondering if this is the case with any of the big clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairycull Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Looking at the world cup and the Euro, Sweden have a nice spell in the middle. And looks like France are back on top at the end. How does the Scottish premier league look? Rangers ever get back on top? Or full of Celtic domination? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matshit Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 For the scottish league, Celtic dominated for years before Dundee United took over due to their star striker Jack Davidson. Now, Rangers is back on top with Celtic and Dundee United close by. In England Liverpool finally got their trophy last season, but are 9th this year with 12 matches left. For the best players, I have made some screens of the team of the year in the world. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/Ronindelli.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/marcao.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/Schroder.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/anderson.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/alcir.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/marinai.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/kono.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/machaka.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/junior.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/roponat.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15116119/toty/armstrong.JPG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballTrainer Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 In many ways the game world has always been less dynamic when you holiday thirty years rather than playing thirty years. I see that there is some dominance clubs which actually goes against how football IRL goes about with takeovers making more and more clubs rich and thereby winning titles.
