Coaches' Box (new AFL game in development)

[macca69]

Also the player numbers are completely wrong

 

[macca69]

also in the lineup section, can they descend in alphabetical surname order.

 

[wooostace]

Please implement trading and the correct player numbers soon apart from this the games looking pretty good, thanks.

New database file available for download. This contains the full 22 round schedule.

Thanks mate. Will play a season and give you some feedback.

 

[Leafie]

Same thing happens here, mate!

 

[Coaches Box]

Sorry guys, my bad. I will hopefully be able to sort it out by the end of the day if I get time.

 

[Coaches Box]

Sorry about the database update yesterday, forgot i had code preventing anymore than 6 rounds. I pushed forward v0.0.0.5 so you could play a full season.

Cool, thanks, I've just deleted the older version and Schedule and so on and now just downloaded the up-to-date version. This is turning into an awesome game. The main thing it's needs now is the Trade week.

 

[Coaches Box]

Just designing trading now. I will also start looking at conststancy, conditioning and injuries.

Played my first full season and with Port winning the grand final and Tredrea, Hall and Tarrent all kicking over 100 goals.

 

[macca69]

could the following stat somehow be incorperated into the game?

Winning % when player x plays?

EG
Name Possesions AVG Winning %
Chris Judd 30 75%


BTW this is a totally awesome game!

 

[macca69]

Also i really like the stats and abilities on the roster page, but when i sort them by whatever and pick 1, the order returns to alphabetical rather that staying in the original order i requested.

Also i would prefer it if, when on the roster screen you could drag a player already in position over another player and they would swap places, IMO the current way of picking teams is a bit messy.

Great game - keep it up!

 

[macca69]

IMO u should also be able to save and load your lineups.

And there should also be a clear selection button on the lineup screen.

 

[Coaches Box]

cheers macca69, i have noted them down and might get some of them completed soon.

 

[Coaches Box]

Just noticed the latest version i uploaded isn't skinned. I find it to run a little slower (and leaks a bit of memory) when it is skinned so only download if you like the MSN look of the dialog.

 

[macca69]

Also when picking your lineup, instead of the player disapearing from the list when u pick him, he should turn a diffent colour (eg RED) so u know he has been picked, but u can still see his stats on the lineup page.

Sorry about making all these suggestions, its already a great game, i just want it to get even better!

 

[Coaches Box]

don't appologize macca69, this is exactly the sort of feedback i'm looking for because I also want to make the game better.

 

[Storm20]

Downloaded the game, at the moment this game will just get even better. One question though, is there injuries and reports. A good feature, which no management game has is player fines.

 

[Coaches Box]

No injuries or reports at the moment.

 

[macca69]

how about incorperating a club B&F system whereby u give a

5
4
3
2
1

To any players in your team that u feel played well.

Also u should have access to your coaching record, wins loss, win% avg winning margin, finals, etc

and u should also be able to conduct training or have the option of leaving it to your assistan coach.

 

[macca69]

U should also be able to name a side on thursday night with emergencies and injured players if u want, then chop and change your team amoungst the 25 as much as u want.

And u should also be able to see how the opposition named their lineup.

Finding sponsors
Ground development
Awards - AA side, brownlow, Coleman, norm smith, U/18 AA side, VFL, SANFL, and WAFL team of the year.
Injuries/Reports
Detailed tactical options- reflected in results.
Fatigue
State of origin
Good player editor
Online mode
Commentary – ideally voice commentary

Give players a personality. EG
Form
Like/dislike others
Club preferences
City preference
Position preferences
Tempers
Player Loyalty - IE Pay cuts
Players wishing to leave due to: unhappy with coach, wanting more money, wanting more opportunity, want to return home etc

A LOT more media. Which can effect players performances - eg fans being unhappy or players rumoured to be traded etc

Comprehensive histories. Most goals kicked in a game, top 100 games/goals of all time, team record books etc

And an intelligent "auto coach" mode or 'go on holiday' mode

U should also be able to name a side on Thursday night with emergencies and injured players if u want, then chop and change your team amongst the 25 as much as u want.

And u should also be able to see how the opposition named their line-up.

Marketing and Finances
Scouts
Have a club board- rating your performance as coach. Setting you pre-season goals. Sacking you if you play crap etc.

Is it also possible to have an average possessions column, goals, marks etc as well as the aggregate column?
