Good stuff CoachesBox!

I must admit though I dont like the stats so squashed in on the game day page. It is too hard and sit there and figure out what is going on. Maybe you could have an option to actually watch the match like you have now or the option of having the stats in front of you of both teams spaced out with the scoreboard minus the graphics.

I do like the graphics but it nearly gives me headaches trying to scroll through all the stats like that. This is just my opinion of cause! I am dying for the ratings to come in because this will eliminate the need to sift through piles of stats!

I am actually getting use to the stats and they arent as bad as I thought. With the ladder though it is hard because when you scroll across the team name is gone so when you look at the end columns you cant see what teams they relate to.

 

[caveman]

could we also have a column for height and maybe weight because the only way to access this is clicking on the individual players name each time?

Is it worth downloading?

Can do

Yep

Hi Coaches Box,

I am having trouble saving version 0.6! I play a few games and then when I go to load it next time is says field 'injury rating' not found.

This is a brand new game that I had only started in 0.6.

Look forward to your response so I can play again!

Also what did you think of my idea with the ladder. I think keep the ladder the same but put the team stats on a seperate page that arent as squashed.

This game has come along in leaps and bounds and I appreciate that you take the time to listen to my ideas although I have no idea what it takes to program.

Can you zip your database and send it to alan_mcleod04@hotmail.com and I will take a look.

I'll take a closer look at you ladder idea, but I'm not sure I fully understand the change yoiu are suggesting. I'll see what I can do to make it clearer to view.

 

[Coaches Box]

I'm after some ideas on player form.

My idea would be that everyone in the team starts the year with a rating of 70 for form. After each game this will the go up/down based on performance.

What are your thoughts?

Yeah that sounds good. If they play well, then that should maybe increse their points in some catergorys even. If not, then maybe lower them.

Also don't know if anyone else has suggested this but, State of Orgin teams maybe?

Umpire Statistics maybe - strict, fair, tough, hold up the play alot, free flowing, so it can determine the outcome also.

I have sent it. I think I have done it properly. The ladder thing isnt a major concern just that in the game Total Aussie Rules it was made very clearly to view the teams. I think there is a post with how they do it somewhere on here.

sounds good, but it would be great to send players to the VFL/WAFL to regain some form. I guess that would be easier to implement once u incluse the vfl and stuff great game and i cant wait for the next update.

Please disregard mate as my game defaulted to an old savegame in version 0.4
Problem is solved!

Mate I must of been asleep when I tested the game as I thought when you scrolled through the stats on the ladder that the team names went off screen but I now realise that they dont so please dont change anything and I think I might need to get to bed earlier. Sorry mate

 

[caveman]

Gday mate,

I was just playing a game and with 5 minutes left in the last quarter I ran into some trouble. It looked like players were coming off and players were coming on but they kept swapping and the game couldnt continue.

Also could you make the players name stay on the screen when you are scrolling through the stats like you have done with the team names on the ladder?

Thanks

I'll see if i can reproduce it.

Id like to have the following stats for each player, avg points (for and against) a game when a certain player plays. Also for all the stats each player has eg kicks marks goals etc, i would like the same again but what each players opponent has. So its easier to measure how good a taggers form is.

Also this is just an idea for the finishing touches but it would be pretty cool if there were game skins eg i could choose a WC skin which would make the icons, bacground and stuff yellow and blue and have it for all teams.

Keep up the good work!

 

[macca69]

oh and also could we have different ratings eg supporters rating, directors rating etc.

they can both increase/decrease depending on different things eg supporters would go up if u sign a player with a high reputation, but if u trade a fans favourite the rating would go down. directors/board rating would mostly depend on your results and how they compare to your expectations, and it could also vary by your statements in the media.

Could you explain this further.

I'm also making a dramatic change to a players overall rating. Instead of just one overall rating, each player will now how have a rating by Forward, Back, Centre and Ruck. The user can change the way this is calculated. This way you as a coach can define how important you think a rating is to a position.

What are peoples thoughts on this?

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Why do you have to use the resolution 1024x768 to view the game properly ?

 

[macca69]

hypothetically just say its round 5, Judd was suspended/injured for round three, but played every other game. In the first 5 rounds WC had the following results

ROUND 1 WC 123 vs Opponent 75
ROUND 2 WC 85 vs Opponent 100
ROUND 3 WC 60 vs Opponent 90
ROUND 4 WC 100 vs Opponent 70
ROUND 5 WC 120 vs Opponent 110

So in a new tab it should have direct oppent avg possesions (self explanetory) and winning %, avg points for and against and avg win margin and avg loose margin.

on judds tab it should be something like this

winning % AVG points for AVG point against etc
75% (3/4) 107 88.75

then just say cousins has played all 5

winning % AVG points for AVG point against etc
60% (3/5) 97.6 89.2

does that make sense?

also this is probly a stretch but would it be possible to have avg stats and avg opponent stats and stuff for each possision he plays (eg forward, back, ruck, centre)?

thats a pretty good idea, but dont abolish the overall rating, keep that in the lineup/roster tab and also would that mean you would have a potential improvment column for each position?

Anything can be done, I'll see if I find time before next release.

 

[J.Gallagher #1]

In the game and all stats screen there should be a hitouts column.

I'm not sure how you are doing the trading thing, but it would be good to incorperate 3 or 4 way deals. Also a player searcher would be good like in TAR where you can search for a player in a certain position or salary, but if you could incorperate stats into it. eg avg goals, AA, brownlow votes etc that would be even better. Also when they sign for you, you should be able to negotiate a contract, with the player(s) u are getting, if you want, before the deal is finalised. Although by doing this you take the risk of a player demanding more money depending on their age, ability and how they have played the last couple of years.
