Coaches' Box (new AFL game in development)

[macca69]

there should also be

Hall of Fame
Club info eg http://www.sigames.com/graphics/images/875.jpg
Assistant Manager club report (like FM)
Player comparision
Coaches should be able to negotiate with their board of directors for a better contract for themselves and stuff like that
Half-time team talks so you can tell your players how they have played individually or collectively.
There should be tactics buttons on the matchday screen where you can tell your team to: flood, keep possesion, all out attack etc.
Player and manager history
Anything to do with the media would be awesome
Also anything to do with the commercial side of things would be good too, naming stands and stuff
making players have emotions and favourite staff and stuff
Going on holiday like in FM.
Be able to set player positions depending on where the ball is, and whether you have the ball or are not in possession.
Create your own player/team and put them into the AFL

If you want to give the guy millions of dollars like the FM guys have, then he could probably incorporate that " JUS LIKE FOOTY MANAGER LOLZ2005! "

Just downloaded and looks good mate.
The first thing i noticed was team numbers, maybe you could correct the player guernsey numbers.

Another error i noticed iwas the player ages. Many players' age is incorrect.

My suggestions,
Joffe

Gday there,

Can I play old games with this version as when I go to the lineup screen I get a message saying " [Microsoft] [ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 2. "

Do I have to start a new game?

While I'm still devloping the database you will have to start a new game with each new version. I still havn't developed a way to upgrade your database. I should state this with each release that this is the case.

 

[macca69]

[Joffe]

The above sounds hot! A lot like Shii Anne (CM5)

 

[Ritchie8]

All you do is want want want. Give the man a break. And why would you want the first week of the finals to be called Round 23? That's just stupid. Who the hell calls it Round 23?

 

[macca69]

round 23 for the finals is whats its called ATM, i would like that changed.

As for your want, want, want comment im merely making suggestions from which he can choose to listen to or not, he is basing upgrades of this game on suggestions from forums and if no one suggests anything how will it improve, just relax mate.

You champion!

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Good work.

 

[macca69]

also i really like the new rating system, but could there still be an overall rating, i would like it there to help when picking my bench players. Also with the National draft, it usually goes up to about pick 70ish but in this game it only goes to 48 i think. Apart from this its pretty good.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Hey, just to let you know I've got a problem.

When your simulating the matches for the round, one or two matches becomes 0 vs 0 for each quarter and the whole match and isn't recorded and when it comes to the ladder sometimes it has teams playing more matches than they have. ie with me, it had WCE 2-3 when they'd only played three matches. If you could find out what this problem is it will be good. Sorry to bother you but thought you should know. Has worked perfectly on my computer before this.

I just got the same problem!

 

[macca69]

Can there be more stats in the results screen, i haven't experienced that problem yet BTW.

 

[caveman]

I just got the same problem!

I started a new game but it happened again. Think I will wait for the next update! (Cant Wait As The Voting looks Great!)
